The frilly girl behind Summer Tales Boutique
Are you thinking about making your very own handmade items? Whether it starts with a simple bow or maybe a skirt or dress, there are a few sewing essentials I think you can’t do without. I would also love to show you our dear machines and tools we use almost every day. A sewing machine Okay, a bit of an open door, but bear with me. And please don’t get […]
Sometimes dream dresses cross your path without even looking for it. You just need to grab the opportunity and not overthink it. (Okay, crying wallets aside ^^’) Jewel Marine has been one of my favourite releases from Angelic Pretty this year. I fell in love with the navy tiered jumperskirt after seeing that gorgeous shell like bodice and the cute, yet classy print. The dress fell on my doorstep just a few […]
Japan Expo is the only event this year that I had to pack an actual suitcase. Four outfits takes some room and then we haven’t even talked about the shoes and accessories. So here is a overview of my outfits! Day 1 – Thursday The outfit was actually a combination of my Under the Sea outfits from earlier this year. I chose for a black wig this time and a […]
Strolling past small lanes surrounded by the sweet scent of strawberries… Just before Japan Expo we’ve did our best in finishing our Strawberry Fields collection in time. We’ve had limited fabric in a lovely salmon toned pink and a soft blue. Truth to be told, I’ve had it in my fabric stash for quite some time and every summer I wanted to create a collection with it. For Japan Expo […]
Our day started off with a nice cup of coffee (can you already notice it’s my life juice?) and off to Villepinte, Parc des Expositions! I still need to get a bit used to our new van, which is quite a lot bigger then the cars I usually drive. So the small streets of Saint-Denis and Paris are perfect for practicing. At around 10:30 we arrived on site and started […]
After months of preparations, the day has finally come to travel to Amsterdam. Let’s take you with us on this wonderful day! 5:00 – Oh dear, my eyes won’t open properly, but my heart is already beating from excitement (okay, and quite nervous as well). Time to get up, and get dressed as well! Luckily we did pack the car last night and some fresh coffee rolls me into action. […]

Our preparations for this event have been going on for longer, but we would like to show you a glimpse of what we’ve been up to the past time ~ Our first attendance to a big Lolita/Japanese Fashion event has been La vie en […]
The days have been gloomy and rainy here, but that shouldn’t stop me from dressing up cute! Today I went for a mix of various lavender and black pieces, with my favourite roses skirt from Axes Femme. (It secretly reminds me of Romantic Rose Letter from Angelic Pretty) I tried to make my outfit a fun mix of patterns and tones of lavender. The top with pansies is actually a […]
December has come to a close and whilst I’ve also had a little break during the holidays, I can never sit still! I need to be a little creative to have the feeling that I’m getting the best out of my day, it’s a bit neurotic sometimes haha. For this post I would like to give a little recap with the projects I’ve been working on the past month. Hopefully […]
