Heeeeelloooo April. Thank God I survived March, don’t even know how it happened. >.> Ughhhh. Side quests after side quests and my art block is still going hard, but at least I finally ordered some new tattoo supplies and can start practicing properly again. I drew a cute flash sheet and I hope to post some pics of it after I try out some designs on fake skin. I gotta say that even though I’m going through an art block, I’m drawing a lot more than expected. I guess I just feel kinda stuck…? I’m not really sure which direction to take with art lately. >.> I’m super frustrated. Sigh. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY I GOT SOME RETAIL THERAPY MWHEHEEHEH. Ok. Let’s move on.
Thursday morning I woke up at 6am to go to the flea market with my mom. Yes, 6am because I wanted to get all the good stuff before it got busy. They set it up every first Thursday of the month and it’s only there for the first few hours of the morning so you have to be super quick before everyone else’s snatches all the cool stuff, eheh. I got lucky, tho. It’s been months since I went out that early in the morning and to be honest I kinda missed it. And I had the chance to spend some time with my mom which is amazing. U.U So, this is what I got for 50 cents each at the flea market.
An H&M divided dress. I’ll probably wear it a lot this summer, especially in the morning. Super cute.
This is for nights out only. It’s a bit too long on me but I’ll easily fix it. Think I could wear it in winter too.
Loving this top on low rise jeans. I have a pair in this exact color, too. Can’t wait to style it properly.
Yes, this was all 50 cents each. Which means I got these 4 pieces for a total of 2 euros only. Ehehehe. Also, the Franziskaner beer polo shirt is iconic I couldn’t leave it behind. I mean, I can wear this at work so it makes sense.
I’d say its trashy but to be honest it’s kinda fire. Like. It’s iconic ok and it was 50 cents so of course I needed it. Moving on.
I also got these little things. Loveee the bodywash and deodorant but I’m keeping these for the summer. I’m not really a fan of gourmand scents but I still got it because I bought it last summer for the first time and it’s more nostalgic than anything else, sniff sniff… but it smells nice. Like banana candies. The deodorant is deadly though. Too strong. But let’s get to the REAL star of this post.
Yara, by Lattafa. Here on the left. OH MY GODDDDDDD. I hate, HATE, HAAAATE gourmand-girly-suffocatingly-sweet scents but please. This one. I wish it could get discontinued because I want it all to myself. It’s so popular I couldn’t gatekeep it even if I wanted to but I love it. FINALLY a girly fragrance that doesn’t smell like random sweets or frizzy candies or overly sweet fruit syrup. This is kinda like Poison Girl but better. More powdery, less heavy than it’s Dior counterpart but still cozy. I feel like it could definitely work for both winter and summer but spring is 100% her best season. I saw it getting listed as a Poison Girl dupe on some websites but if you’re looking for an IDENTICAL dupe this is not the one, Yara is it’s own fragrance to me and I’m loving it. For someone who usually leans towards ‘’darker’’ fragrances like Aromatics in Black by Clinique this is a breath of fresh air, literally. I love it sooo much I’m so glad I finally found a fresh, light fragrance to wear in spring that doesn’t smell like those mini perfumes they used to put in little girls magazines. Hope this makes sense >.> Anyways, I’ll definitely be buying Yara again and will be looking into other Lattafa fragrances. I have also tried Yara Candy but it’s too fruity for me so I didn’t get it. Yara Moi is next on my list. Moving on… I got this bag and these glasses.
Yes, I know the bag is fake LOL [EDIT: this bag COULD be vintage and now I’m questioning everything. Nevertheless I need to restore it properly, I’ll update] but it was so cheap I just couldn’t leave it there. Even though I already ‘’own’’ (basically it’s my sister’s bag but she says I can use it whenever I want… and I never wear it LOL) a legit LV bag I still got it because I’m planning to upgrade and restore it for everyday wear. I didn’t take better pictures because I’m in a rush as usual but it needs some fixing. Whoever owned it before me must have really loved it since it’s so worn out. It’s still a good bag though. It needed some deep cleaning but that didn’t take long. And the sunglasses are iconic. 2 euros. U.U This is all I found at the flea market but my haul isn’t done yet eheheh.
This is the stuff I got in my last order. I rarely buy clothes online nowadays but I received a gift card so..
Besides these tops I also bought two pair of jeans but they didn’t fit into the pictures so use your imagination. I’m literally wearing the cat shirt right now and I love it. There were also some accessories but maybe I’ll show them in another post, and this My Melody shirt. Didn’t get a chance to wear it yet, sigh.
Now to my faves… some vintage stuff I stole from my mom’s clothes. It’s always cool to find legit y2k clothes. Really makes you question your life choices when you compare them to the cheap attempts to recreate this style by fast fashion brands. I’d gladly use the bag everyday but it’s a bit too small for me.
That beauty case was a gift for my mom’s 18th birthday and guess what there was in it? PERFUME. Of course I had to find it and apparently it’s this one. Also, my mom turned 18 in 1990 so it’s pretty cool that she still had this. This was the fragrance. I’m pretty sure it’s discontinued now, which is a shame because I’d love to smell it. It’s always cute to discover my mom’s fave beauty products from when she was my age T.T sniff..
Anyways this is the end of my haul, I’m pretty satisfied with it I gotta say U.U besides this I’m doing ok in the past week, which is good. I’m starting to get better and looking back to where I was last year helped me realize lots of things and I’m doing some work to get in the right mindset again. April has just started and it’s ok, I need to be kinder with myself. And forgiving. >.> Since the weather seems to be improving I’m starting to go out a little more when I have time and it’s helping me a lot. As soon as I get a day off I want to dedicate myself to doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for once and try to take a walk in the parking oro me thing like that. I need it. I can’t wait to show you guys some new tatto eheheeh I’m super excited about the supplies I bought. I’m trying to take it easy without rushing anything despite the pressure I feel… I’m underappreciating my efforts for no reason. And I finally started posting on my other Instagram account as well, it’s cool to finally exist outside of art. I never made a personal account on any social because I was getting bullied to death in high school and didn’t want ANYONE to find me but since it’s supposedly over I’m trying to do things I like again. Imposter sindrome sucks though. Fuck that. 0/10 not recommended.
As always thank you for reading my posts even though this blog doesn’t make any sense anymore. I appreciate it <3 What about you guys? What are you up to lately? Let’s chat!
