My Experience at Cure Maid Cafe in Tokyo + What I Wore

Have you ever heard of a “Maid Cafe?” I had only recently heard of such a thing…I’m aware of cat cafes and actually visited an owl cafe, but the maid thing sounded a bit creepy. However, I’ve been getting told repeatedly to visit one…So, I finally caved this last weekend and went to see what…

Get to Know Me

I don’t normally do these kinds of posts, but I thought this would be a fun one to take part in…especially because of my upcoming blog anniversary! It’s always great to reflect at this time of the year. The lovely Lee of “Lee Thrifts” tagged me in the “Get to know me – 4 things”…

My Summer Uniform

Shop the look: Fit and flare dress, sandals, sunglasses, novelty purse, umbrella…this is what I generally have had on every single day this summer.
