I was ridiculously busy last week at work and so I wanted to spend a quiet weekend at home this time. Still I ended up having an odd weekend and failing to meet up with friends due to my poor time management skills.
Saturday I wanted to take my familly out for lunch and so me, my mom, my older brother, my husband and Mari did just that. We wanted to go to a more modern place, maybe have some brunch? but my mother is very traditional so we ended up at a typical portuguese restaurant instead.
We had: Arroz de Polvo (octopus rice); Tripas à moda do Porto (tripes, oporto style) and Vitela Assada (roasted veal).
We ended up taking a stroll around town and even visited the nicest comic book store we have in our city by far, they even have a gorgeous space for art exhibitions. I have not been there in a while so in order to make up for it and since my brother was eyeing two manga tombs, i just paid for them. Hope he reads them soon and maybe i'll ask to read them after he does. ^^ The store staff are also very nice people and we have a long story, i've been a customer for longer than I have been into lolita, ever since my teenage years and actually the first ever portuguese lolita meeting had that store as a meeting spot.
We then took my mom home and left my brother where he wanted to be left and went home ourselves. We went by the local chinese supermarket first.
When I got home I took some photos:
Today I woke up and just went straight to the kitchen. I cleaned it completely and then asked my husband to help me make Gyoza. I didn't have chinese dumplings this chinese new year so gyoza sounded like a nice option since its basically almost the same except fried.
I think they look decent, they tasted heavenly!
Yes I am pretty boring, they are all pretty frilly too. :|
I think Anne will be the classic/gothic lolita, Aléxia will be a sort of sweet lolita but I still am undecided on names and styles for the new girls, including this little monica doll.
And that was it, my weekend. I hope my week goes smoothly. <3
Love,
Jo
Thank you for commenting big brother. If only others knew how to be this respectful. (although its a bit sad that this is the best you can do :P)
ResponderEliminarIt's so great that you still own and love your first Moitie dress! The length problem is the same I have. If I remember it correctly, our measurements are nearly the same (you wrote about them in your entry about the sizes of brand tights).
ResponderEliminarThe underskirt really makes a difference and matches the dress very well.
The headdress is gorgeous and I really love the way you dressed your dolls. I started reading blogs and stuff which are BJD related and learn a bit about them. Since the prices for BJDs are high, I try to get sure what kind of a doll I really want.
Oh length is an issue but i have recently met a local girl who must be close to 2m in height and i think i will never complain again. ^_^
EliminarI love that dress, i always think its stunning with the velvet straps and bows! I'm so glad i got such a nice dress as a first.
I really like triple fortune things, not just the bonnets but the hair accessories too so when i can i just get one or two of them.
Oh its a shame both these hobbies are so expensive. I do not take great care of my dolls i have to admit, one of them is still shoeless because i always spend on lolita and not them. I get what you mean but i took an opportunity, the first girl someone was selling her locally and gave me a layaway so i jumped at it. I didn't even know the sculpt well. I like her though, she's the sweet looking cutie on the far right.
