Picnic Coord

Christie Pits Picnic and Chill

The day started with me being anxious as usual and I got to the picnic alone. I was standing around in the rain for a while when someone complimented my outfit and called me over. I was so grateful that someone included me because I was starting to feel like I shouldn't have come. Eventually, Bebe from my server came and our group started growing. The picnic was super fun. I really enjoyed being in Lolita in public with other people. After the picnic we went to Doll Funeral and ended the day with bubble tea.

Woodbine Outfit

Woodbine Fantasy Fair

Returning to my roots. It's been a while since I went to Woodbine, and an especially long time since I've been there with my best friend, Moni. We used to go all the time after classes in University. This run down mall has the feeling of a dream. It's hard to explain but it's like the air is a thin veil between this world and the next. Some places in the mall are bustling with life, and others have a feeling that the mall should have went under a long time ago. Moni brought her camera so we took a ton of fun photos. My outfit was pretty simple but cute.

Outfit Breakdown:

  • Blouse: Gloomth
  • Pants: Garage

AAPI Coord

Summer Vibes AAPI Market

My first market. I feel like I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't vending to be honest. There were spaces outside to enjoy tea and take pictures. More than the staged photos though, I loved the cemetary and garden of roses at the back of the church where the event took place. I definitely didn't make a profit but I did meet some cool artists and saw so many cool outfits. At least I got a lot of practice making headdresses. I think I'll keep most of them for myself. Hopefully I'll have better vending oppurtunities in the future.

Gloomth Tea Coord

GloomthXMoonKana Wonderland Tea Party

This was my first time at an event like this. It was incredible to be in a historic house having fun with several other people who share an interest in fashion. The event took place at Applewood Shaver house - a beautiful Victorian homestead in Etobicoke, Ontario. It began with tea and refreshments. Then was an amazing performance by Moon Kana. She wore a handmade coord and spoke about her life in Canada and how her daughter is also interested in "princess fashion". On the table were magazines filled with street snaps of Moon Kana. Eventually the party turned to mingling inside and outside of the house. When the weather wasn't drizzling, I took a step outside where Gloomth owner Taeden took the cutest pictures of the guests. Overall, this event was a fantastic introduction to the community for me and I got to meet lots of cool people.
