Adventures in Wig Land

This week, I decided that my favorite wig was in dire need of some tender loving care. So started my adventure in wig styling! I'd never done anything with synthetic hair before other than wash it, so the majority of this was done with internet tutorials and advice from a professional wig-styling friend. Read on after the jump for more pictures and details of my adventures in Wig Land!

Finally, a Lolita post!

This summer has been so insane with all the wedding preparations, I haven't really had the time or energy to really get dressed up. But now that things are finally winding down, I decided that I had to justify having packed all my dresses home by dressing up for my art class.

Peach Crisp!

Earlier this week, my dad bought a flat of perfect peaches from Costco. I promised I would find something to do with them, and today, I tried to surprise him and my mom with a peach crisp! Sadly, they came home before it was in the oven, but even without the surprise, it was amazingly tasty.

Wedding Prototype One: Yellow Cupcakes

For my upcoming wedding in August, I'm making three kinds of cupcakes: chocolate, lemon, and yellow. I've been on the hunt for the perfect recipe for each type, and so far I've found my chocolate recipe, and I recently experimented to find a good yellow cake recipe.

Review: Bodyline Boots & Cardigan

I've been needing a pair of black Lolita boots for some time now, and with the wedding coming up, I needed them soon! Having been very happy with Bodyline's shoes before, I decided to go for a pair of boots--definitely the cheapest pair I could find, and quite cute. Since the $20 shipping campaign is over, I decided to throw in cardigan as well to make myself feel better about the shipping price.

Terrible packaging, as usual.

Let's Do the Time Warp -- Catch-up Post

So in the time (read: month) I hadn't been posting, I didn't do very much. I did go to one or two events worth dressing up for, so under the break are a photo or two from each event, and a quick write-up about what I was doing.

Still Alive

This was a triumph, I'm making a--oh, right, cupcakes. And stuff.

I've been a very bad blogger, and let finals take over my life. I did nothing but eat, sleep, and study the last three weeks of school, and then I spent the week after that moving all my worldly possessions from one apartment to another. I didn't get to dress up, or bake, or do anything fun. Well, that's not entirely true, but then the few things I did do I didn't have time to post about. So expect a few catch-up photo dumps.

Anyway, I've safely relocated back to my parent's house for the summer, to work on wedding plans and catch up on some general classes so I can graduate in the fall. I'm sure you've all been devastated by my absence, so here's a picture of a crepe to cheer you up. I should be blogging regularly again soon.
