Gyaru Meet @ Hyde Park With Sydney Gals!

｡ ₊°༺ ♡ ༻°₊ ｡

Look at all those gorgeous gals!!! I don't think I've ever seen a gyarusa outside of Japan so big! At one point, there was almost 30 of us, but only 25 of us are pictured here 😔

Last Friday, I had the magnificent opportunity to go to a Sydney gal meet at Hyde Park, and I made sooooo many amazing friends from all over Sydney and of all different ages. My day was filled to the brim with smiling, eating sweets and attempting to do many different parapara dances.

Diy Agejo rose shoes

Hello darlings! Today, I'm giving you a tutorial on how I made these super cute and super hot heels from some shoes I got from Kmart on clearance. I first made these to wear to the TWICE concert back in November, but I decided to remake them and do a tutorial too!

When I first made these, I only had cream coloured heels from about a year ago, so sadly, it didn't quite match. It was truly just my luck when I found these black shoes in the same model!

I was really inspired by these Agejo-style shoes I found on Pinterest; they're so fun and are fairly versatile. I think they could work for Hime gyaru too if you used white and pink lace. I guess rose motifs unite the two substyles, which is great, because I really love them.

 Happy New Yuri 2026! + Christmas Haul 2025

Happy New Year, everyone!! Finally, it's the end of the holiday season 😅 while it's a lovely way to end the year, I'm pretty tired by the end of it...haha

Hence is why I still haven't posted my Christmas haul from LAST YEAR 😆, so here's everything I got!

Merry Christmas from Maomao too ~ (BTW - these aren't my presents! they're all my extended family's gifts)

Kawaii Underbust Skirt - Sewing Tutorial 

➽──────❥ ❀⊱༺♡༻⊰❀ ➽──────❥

Hi everyone! This is my first tutorial, and today I'll be recreating/revamping the first garment I ever sewed by myself and giving you a tutorial on how I made it. 

This skirt is soooo cute and flattering, and would be very suitable for an inverted triangle or hourglass body shape. I think it could be incorporated nicely into a himekaji co ord, and I'm planning to make a puffy, off-shoulder top in white to match, which I'll give a tutorial to draft the pattern for and the instructions to assemble. 

However, I have a longggggg list of things I want to make, and I don't have any more space to store fabric, so it could be a while. Don't worry though! I have lots of other cute tutorials planned too 😝

Day out diaries #1: noraebang with my besties!!

Day out diaries #1: noraebang with my besties!!

Wow, my summer has started fantastic! Today, I went to karaoke with N and Apple for the first time - it was so fun! I spent the morning tidying up my room though, normally I am pretty clean, but after the exam block burnout was BAD, and my room just had lots of workbooks and yarn everywhere haha… It’s still not clean…but I did make a start!

 Hello darling world!

October 14…December 11…

They’re basically the same!! With timezones they’re just like a few days apart right? 😅

Anyways, today is the day I do my first ever blog post! October 14 was the first day I actually opened up my WordPress account and started kind of “drafting” what I was going to do, but today I’m actually doing what I set out to do! Hooray for me~

And you might be thinking "huh? but this is a google blogger site..."

ding ding ding!!! You are correct! but originally, well about five hours ago, I was going to blog on wordpress.

But then I realised how ugly it was.

And how expensive it was...

But five hours later, I'm here! And I love it. Wordpress was a bit too complex for me, and even after premium, all the themes and customisation options were all just bland, minimalist and modernist - yuck!

I do want to do a proper introduction, but I think that’ll take some time because I’ll want to add some pictures for you gais, so for now I guess we might do a speed round get to know me! 😆

I’ve dreamt of making a blog for a while now because it is truly like my own little corner of the internet, and because of the social media ban that happened just yesterday in Australia, it may possibly be the only part of the internet I have for a while…heh…

On here, I’m hoping to document parts of my life, make tutorials for all my crafts and just have fun, like a special digital diary 💝 We’ll all get to know each other soon hopefully. 🥹

Oh!

And also…

Today school finished for the year! Which is why I am starting my blog today! I am now officially a year ten, so I’ll be celebrating and having lots of fun on here and at my sewing table the next six weeks. 

Big kiss for you~
