This last weekend I went camping with my friends at one of their farm properties. It was such a beautiful setting! There was a giant grassy hill that I spent many hours rolling down! It was a fantastic weekend- sadly most of the photos only group shots of me and my friends, and I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate me smacking them up here on my blog haha.
Here's a nice shot of the aforementioned hill! By the end of the weekend, that grass was a lot flatter!

For the weekend, I wore just camping-suitable attire- so no photos haha! But today I wore this for a lazy day about the house.Later this week I'll try to take up Fern & Fawn's monthly challenge of incorporating roses into my outfit!
Shirt; EzyBuy・ Overdress; Supre ・ Pants; Thrifted・ Shoes; Thrifted・Socks; Glassons・ Bow; Bodyline・ Necklace; Wonder Rocket
I've also found a great solution to making easy buns (hair buns that is)! Surprisingly, it is by using a sock! Who would've thought! If you have trouble with topknots, try this as an alternative, and see if it works! I just discovered it today, but I can already tell it's a (strangely) useful thing to know. Being Lovely blog tells you how to do it here (or click the image below).

I haven't done much shopping recently. Most of my new clothing has been through sewing, which I will talk about a bit later! However, I've been keeping my eye out for some good deals about the place!
Left to Right:
- CottonOn lace trim cardigan for $10- thin, but good for Spring and late summer!
- Farm print leggings for $8- these are very warm, so I'm keeping them for the winter
- Frilly mini skirt for $5- I'm not one to wear miniskirts, but the fabric really got to me haha
- Trelise Cooper stain glass window necklace for $20- I'm a big fan of Trelise Cooper's clothing, and this would make a good accessory for a dolly kei inspired outfit I think! The chain is slightly reminiscent of a rosary.
Here's one of the sewing projects I worked on last week (again from my darling Pochee magazine! :P )
It's a pair of shorts and a wrap around skirt, that can be made into two different kinds of salopettes simply by pinning a front bib onto them- so in theory, I have 4 different wardrobe pieces! I only had just enough fabric to make them both, so I have to be very economical!
Pro tip- make sure you put pattern pieces in a safe place where you won't mistake them for scrap fabric... (╥_╥)

How has everyone been lately? (✿◠‿◠) The summer here so far has been terrible! Barely any sunny days to speak of!
I'll update with an inspiration post and rose-theme outfit later this week!
Thanks for reading!☆
