Congrats, 3kg down & clearer skin!! Now your smile will be even prettier, won't it? I'm glad you're enjoying Underground... there are so many good quotes. It makes me want to read it, too.

congrats on the weightloss and your newly cleared skin!! i hope you can get back to sewing very soon, it's tough to have to put yourself on hold while you get your tools of the trade repaired.

@vivarism thank you flonne! you're so sweet <3 underground is incredibly interesting as it really shows the victims of the attack as japanese media and further writing on the attacks ommited it, murakami shown them as real people and how much they suffered due to it

@strawberryreverie thank you! i barely could stand not having it for a week, I hope this adjustment won't take a long time. it's an issue as i usually cut my pieces with 1cm seam allowance and setting the needle to the left allows me to sew them evenly at presser foot width, which is exactly 1cm from the needle

Glad youre getting some rest on your days off <3 My favourites from Banana Yoshimoto is Goodbye Tsugumi, and I liked Kitchen when I was young. Not sure how well it holds up now, but the magical realism in certain sections really captivated me. Hang in there!!

@vivarism glad to see you again flonne! I actually just ordered myself a copy of Goodbye Tsugumi as I found it for a good price... unfortunately Kitchen is hard to get as it was published once 20 years ago and never reprinted...

Previews got mixed up... I hate it!!

your handmade clothes are so nice! I love the raglan sleeve blouse ღ

I also have 5kg to lose... here's hoping it falls right off for both of us!!! And I wanna see more of your sewing.. I'll be keeping an eye out for that new section.

thank you flonne! i hope we'll both manage to lose it... definitely I'll start working on it soon, hoping to keep updating it regularly as I plan to get back to sewing (for real)

suede in pink would get dirty so fast youre right.. i understand what you mean about fast fashion stores being daunting, its nigh impossible to find decent clothes materials wise in them

this year shoes are horrible and i still can't believe they went with worst colorways for that model. if they dropped it in black or cream or beige it would be already sold out kek. the most hyped model from that store this year was literally #coquette #balletcore #fashionvictim square toe mary jane flats

it's the reason why i gave up on fast fashion except t-shirts i have to, i do have really old h&m pieces which are sewn well and like it's linen... but now everything got worse despite greenwashing and virtue signalling. i still see vintage pieces from fast fashion stores on vinted and they truly are better than stuff nowadays but honestly i'd never pay prices they're asking for. at this point i stick with vintage

from labels from my country that were around for ages. solar is my favorite and i got so many of pieces from them for actual funny money, especially a bias cut asymetric linen dress with pure silk embellishments sold for almost nothing. even better was that it was literally new without tags

I used to be a big perfume collector when I was in my young 20s. I don't much care for the Flower Kenzo one either! It's amazing to see another Green Tea fan though. It does have that 90s scent, I know what you mean. My fave Arden vintage nostalgia perfume will always be Red Door though. Something about it is great.

the overabundance of polyester in modern clothing stores makes me dread ever having to go shopping! sometimes you find a gem though. viscose feels ok at least. i really enjoyed reading all of your makeup reviews, and i agree that a lot of eyeshadow palettes aren't cohesive

@snowbunni i'm glad that i found out about green tea, i hope to get it really soon as it's such a lovely scent. i didn't know about the red door but i checked the notes and they are so nice! i also want to try sunflower, it interested me for a while too

@strawberryreverie viscose is way better choice over polys but still i hate how toxic production of it is. and thank you! this is definitely what turns me off from buying any plus i hate the culture around eyeshadow palette consumerism. it's so bad
