I Am Half-Sick of Shadows

Just a little bookworm who adores fairy tales, mysteries and period pieces.

[Sept. 28th] Felt really attracts cat hair. I can never hide I have a fluffy white cat.

[September 15th] When you have a cross-stitching and tea meetup in the afternoon and the Tokyo Vogue’s Fashion Night Out in the evening. I mixed a Vogue hat with a classic outfit finished with a more streetwear yet doll-like tight and shoes combo. I know not everyone likes my slightly more experimental coordinates (judging from the poor response on my previous outfit), but I like them. Dress: Juliette et Justine Blouse: Innocent World Bag: Moi-même-moitié Hat: Vintage Vogue Shoes: Yösuke USA

Some pictures from the TWIA event held in Taipei on Oct. 27th. I modelled Little Rose Planet Curiouser and Curiouser jumperskirt. Everything I wear is from the brand except for the Vintage blouse and my own Fluevog shoes. Hair and makeup by me. Thank you for inviting me to the event❤️

[October 27th] Because I don’t need to edit these pictures, I am posting them before the ones from mid-October that I still need to edit. After Twia fashion show, I got back in my more casual comfy style to look around the booth and have supper. There were photographers on the site, so I asked one of them to take a quick snap of my outfit. It was already getting dark outside, so here have indoor pictures. Swipe to see a candid picture of me shopping. Dress: Juliette et Justine Blouse: Thrifted Flower comb: Victorian Maiden Shoes: Queen Bee Waist ribbon: Jane Marple

Mary Bennet: There’s three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Lydia way.

Jane Bennet: Isn’t that just the wrong way?

Elizabeth Bennet: Yeah, but faster.

When the young governess traveled to the remote estate that was to be her home and her livelihood, she knew to guard her heart from her mysterious, handsome employer, whose wife’s disappearance remained unresolved.  But against the temptation of the surrounding woods, whose branches beckoned, whose winds sighed her name, she was unprotected - and that which dwelled within the woods wanted more than her heart.  He wanted her very soul….

A little gothic-supernatural romance for @forthegothicheroine. Happy birthday, Mira!  May the coming year bring you good health, boundless joy, large and small luxuries and heart-stopping new adventures!

Eek!  Oh my god, thank you!

Outfit I wore a couple of weeks ago (before the deadly heat wave) to go shopping in Shinjuku. I wanted to do something more quirky and reminiscent of dolly kei, mixing very dusty colours, and heavy tapestry/felt with light chiffon. Skirt: Jane Marple Blouse: earth, music and ecology Hat: Vintage (from Kitsch à l'os) Tights: Grimoire Shoes: Cobb Hill Bag: Axes Femme Book earrings: Chibi Hon (bought at Design Festa) Brooch: Handmade, but I don’t remember the artist name ;_;

Summer in Tokyo is very humid and hot (not as bad as in Okinawa, but still very brutal), so I had to shelve my petticoats for a couple of months. Any kind of layering will most likely make me faint in this heat, so please bear with me as I post simpler summery outfits. Skirt: Fint Blouse and bag: Axes Femme Hat: Vintage Socks: Grimoire Shoes: Clarks

Around the end of rainy season, we had a couple of cooler (but still very humid) days. I jumped on the occasion to wear lolita before it would get too hot to do so. I had a nice time in a local Showa era café with a friend I hadn’t seen in a while.💙 I feel this hairdo makes my face look so round, haha (oh well, it fits with the modern meets old school lolita look of the outfit). Dress: Métamorphose temps de fille Blouse: earth, music and ecology Tights: Anna Sui Bag: Dolly Girl by Anna Sui Shoes: Hush Puppies Belt: Vintage

Two weeks ago, I went to Disney Sea with Liv. We decided to go all out sailor for the occasion! I had a lot of fun, even if we got stopped for pictures every 5 minutes by other visitors, haha! Dressing up in Disney parks is the absolute best~ Dress: Vintage Bag: Angelic Pretty Shoes: Comfort Plus by Predictions 🍒 necklace: Wego

Outfit I wore for a casual solo day out. The life of a freelancer is full of uncertainty, and some days, you just don’t get any job at all (but you’ll only know it on the same day, so planning is impossible). Enjoying solo activities (and solo work) is a must for any freelance translator. Skirt: Innocent World White Label Blouse: Miss Patina Bag: Angelic Pretty Shoes: Clarks Beret: izizipip
