Second time at King's Hawaiian Cafe & Shore good.

The second time I ate at King's Hawaiian Bakery & Cafe, I tried their breakfast.

The first time I blogged about in my food blog: To Be.

We started with the Spam Musubi, which was good.
The pickles were a nice palate cleansing touch.

The french toast was a good size, but I wish it came with more breakfast-y stuff and fruit.

Butter, I love it.

Tea Time with Ying~>

Recently, although not recently enough, I finally had Afternoon Tea with Ying!

The first time we had tea and snacks at Crown & Crumpet, Ying saw their High Tea and said, "Next time we need to do that."

Well, we finally did that at Tealist, one of my favorite Tea places.
We were both dressed up rather casually, considering another time when we hung out at SacAnime.

We ordered Strawberry Green Tea & Ceylon. They were good. Everything was good. Tealist is very precise about tea steeping times and temperatures.

Simpsons X Hello Kitty, aDoh!rable~>

Gasp, what doth I spy? Be it so? Yes, it be! 

Simpsons & Hello Kitty collaboration clothing by Japan LA.

This shirt is one-size and super fun to wear. The colours just put me in a good mood and humming The Simpsons opening all day. (I'm wearing it as I blog!)

Growing up watching the Simpsons, I have many favorite scenes. Terms like "Stupid Sexy Flanders," and "We work hard, and we play hard," bring back fond memories. Therefore this collaboration is two of my favorite worlds colliding. (Yeah, I like the Kitty, Hello~>)

Japan LA released this top during Hello Kitty Convention this year, in L.A. to celebrate Hello Kitty's 40th birthday! (Check back for blogs of the convention.) This limited collection will be available soon on Modcloth, I suggest you use the Notify Me option, if you have your heart set on it!

First day of August

Casual school girl style, comfortable but on spot for the start of August.

I wanted to wear this Lil' Twin Stars Uniqlo x Sanrio shirt with these leggings. ( A Lady at the Cafe liked my leggings, so I told her they are Japan L.A. x Sanrio.) I used the plaid skirt to tie them together, and topped it off with a black shrug. Since I still wanted to wear my Handcuff necklace, I also wore matching flip flops.

The gold print is quite lovely. Let's ride a Kawaii Ferris Wheel! kirakira~*

I'm modeling three hair variations. Up for work, muffs for cold, down for fun.

 

Shirt: Uniqlo x Sanrio Hellosmile Project

Skirt: Watarirouka 7

Leggings: Japan L.A. x Hello Kitty

Shrug: Gift of Erin E.

Necklace: 6% dokidoki

Make up: Sugarpill

My make up reminds me of Kool-Aid. I wanted to blend Yellow, Orange and Red together, to mirror the Gold, and Red in my outfit.

GreenGate & Uniqlo Dress II

This is the 2nd long GreenGate dress from my 2nd Uniqlo haul. Just like the first dress, this one is also Vacationly Comfortable.

GreenGate x Uniqlo dress

I first spotted GreenGate via Uniqlo; their designs were enticing. And, the sale prices were right. So I partook in the 2nd Uniqlo Haul.

Fanime 2013 Day 2: Lolita, Dolldelight Model, & Tea for Two

On day 3 of Fanime 2013, I had the honour of modeling for Dolldelight. Here's a sample of what I wore, more details on my Modeling Blog.

For the rest of the day, I wore a Macaron Lolita outfit, since it suited the Hair and Make from modeling.

After modeling, I headed over to Clockwork Alchemy's Tea Room to meet my brother. 

Clockwork Alchemy is a Steampunk convention in its 2nd year put on in conjunction with Fanime. So one membership gets you into two conventions.

More on my Food Blog.

After drinking our fill of Tea, we wandered around Clockwork Alchemy, to see what was left to see.

There was a Stage which I did not recognize, but it looked Cool, so we took photos.

Christmas Day!

On Christmas Day, we visited his Family's home. Below is a Winkelwreathe by Christina-Marie of Winkeland.

Hello Kitty Forever~>

Hello Kitty Forever is not only my motto, but also Forever 21's new collaboration with Hello Kitty. I was excited to plaster more Kitty on my body.

Each Forever 21 shop has slightly different inventory. For Christmas, I received these Hello Kitty Forever leg warmers and i.d. tag from Tessa W. They are not currently sold at my local Forever 21, or online.

[future update: photo of gifts]

During my Pre-Christmas shopping spree at Forever 21, not only did I buy items to complete this outfit, but I got some casual Hello Kitty Forever.

I thought one of the shirt Hello Kitties looked like me.

Hoppy 12 12 12 Outfit

Happy hoppy 12th day of the 12th month of the 12th year after 2000! This is the casual outfit I wore on 12-12-12. I wanted to wear the Toy March cutsew, and the Bears Cafe skirt from Angelic Pretty. This was a bit of a challenge.

(FYI: I bought Toy March recently at Angelic Pretty San Francisco 2nd Anniversary weekend, and Bears Cafe at Angelic Pretty San Francisco's Grand Opening.)

Scarf/Wrap: Uniqlo
Shoes: Vans

International Lolita Day...

It's International Lolita day! Happy day to you. Unfortunately, I was not wearing Lolita today, although I plan to tomorrow. Instead I'm wearing a casual Pop outfit, with what I call my bubble dress.

This hat is a Character hat created by Akana Mari who runs The Bunny Cafe. She makes all her hats herself! Because of my hair bun, the bunny hat sits higher than normal. Bun in the bunny hat!

Weekend in San Francisco

♪♫ San Francisco, open your Golden Gates, please let no Stranger Wait outside your door. ♪♫

Last month, I spent a weekend touring San Francisco with friends. Although I was born and raised there, I had new fun.

Tomatoes I packed for the ride.

Hairstyle for the day.

New York, Day 7. Tea-time!

This Monday was my last full day in New York. So, of course, I had to live it to the fullest! Fuel up with Amy's sandwich and Xin's coffee, yum.

Monte Cristo & Coffee

I wanted to wear something cute but comfortable.

Hat, tights, socks: Uniqlo

Dress: Liz Lisa

Parfait charm: Minty Mix

Black Saturday: Faturday & Caturday! Hello Kitty and Hoppy times.

Since I did not shop on Black Friday, I happily went to the mall today. The mall was not crowded, perhaps everyone had emptied their piggies yesterday.

Angelic Pretty San Francisco 2nd Anniversary Tea Party with Maki & Asuka~>

Since I missed the First Anniversary party, I was most excited to attend the Second Anniversary Tea Party of San Francisco's Angelic Pretty! Mari and I traveled together, so we snapped some shots during bus stops.

The fluffy ears are my favorite!
