Please excuse the lateness of this post; January turned out to be the month of horrendous colds for me! I put quite a bit of effort in taking these and it seemed a shame not to post it.
So please enjoy the little trip into my wardrobe, quite a-lot of it is handmade. Over the years I've made a lot more things; but my style has changed quite a bit. My current style is sweet and classic lolita with otome and Mori influences.
