Wisteria Garden Visit

 Yet another flower post!  This is the last one for a while~

Kamiko and I went to a wisteria place that actually costs money to enter.  It was sunny and cloudy, so the clouds served as a wonderful light filter!  It wasn't terribly hot either.  This was truly a perfect day to go see flowers.

Rose Festival

A popular flower for elegance, and definitely popular with Lolita prints, roses are widely loved!  This time, Kamiko and I went to the Rose Festival on a Friday afternoon.  It was EVEN SUNNIER than when we went to see sakura!!

I wore my Gingham Ribbon Rose OP to match the theme~  It was the first brand-name Lolita dress I ever got!  When BABY, THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT opened up for overseas lucky pack sales for the first time in 2008, that is when I got this dress in both pink and black.


The rose garden in Taipei had SO many different varieties!  I can't even remember how many different roses there were.  They were all labeled, but I forget as soon as I read the sign @_@

Sakura at the Temple and Antique Shop Photos

 Flower season is here!!  On March 4, Kamiko and I went to 竹林山 (Zhulin Mountain) to take photos.  Though the sakura blossoms were not in full bloom, we still got some nice photos as there is a large temple (觀音寺/Guanyin Temple) there.

It was really quite sunny!

Kelly's ParTea Room Afternoon Tea

    How long has it been since I had a three-tier afternoon tea?  It feels like years!  Afternoon tea is one of my favorite luxuries, and I recently got to go to a shop I've not been to before with my friend Kamiko.  She introduced me to this shop, who recently moved location.  It's called Kelly's ParTea Room.  We visited in late February.

    The owner is very kind and knowledgeable, and pays close attention to detail.  She even offered to swap out the set of dishes we had in order to match our clothing better!

Recent Exhibit Visits: Demon Slayer and Pokemon TCG



I'm a bit backlogged on posts now!  In February I went to see the Demon Slayer pop-up cafe and Pokemon Trading Card Game 25th Year Exhibit with my friend Doro.  We decided to do a casual twinning with the same print from Innocent World print, Japanese Butterfly (plain JSK for me)!  I love this dress very much for some casual days.

It had been raining for weeks but it was fortunately not raining the morning of our outing.
