welcome

2024/11/30 - updated my side site, angels' archive.
i scanned three angelic pretty catalogs from the early 2000s, drawn by shop staff at the carina e arlequin select shop in utsunomiya. the new ones are winter 2005, summer 2006, and autumn 2006. enjoy!

2024/11/30 - updated lolita wardrobe page
added a shirley temple skirt that i picked up secondhand recently.

2024/11/24 - added an about me page!
all the elly facts u never asked for

2024/11/22 - updated lolita wardrobe
removed more items from closet cleaning, and added a dress and barrette i bought on xianyu. i'm downsizing a lot because my move is coming pretty soon. i have to be packed by the end of december... the major change is hitting me hard lately, and even though i'm excited for our new life, it's bittersweet too. it's been a difficult and stressful process, but hopefully worth it.

2024/11/20- updated lolita spotlights page
added a post about going through my old lolita wishlist pieces, rating them, and sharing my thoughts.

2024/11/18 - updated lolita wardrobe
removed quite a few pieces that i decided to sell. i've been procrastinating on closet cleaning my accessories, because i find it super tedious to list a lot of small items for sale. i may bundle these by color and sell them in lots ^^;
i also did a lot of sitewide cleanup, fixing links, making formatting consistent, and tidying some of the folder structures on the various pages.
finally, i updated my side page angels' archive, i just realized that the index page has been a messed up placeholder all this time T___T it's working now, and you can browse the hand drawn AP catalogs!

2024/11/17 - updated pokemon
it's the anniversary of pokemon sun and moon's release! i wrote a blog post about my popplio collection as well as some thoughts on that generation. i also finally filled in the collection gallery a bit, moved it to its own separate page, and updated the main pokemon page with a section to link my blog posts.

2024/11/16 - updated lolita wardrobe
removed a bunch of items that i sold (or put up for sale), added one, and shuffled some items by color. i also added two blouses i already had, but dyed in different colors recently. maybe at some point, i will write a spotlight page on that type of small DIY change i like to make on my clothes.

2024/11/03 - updated lolita wardrobe
i added a single hair clip lol. i also updated the graphics on the whole site layout recently-- changed the bows to hibiscus flowers, i feel like this suits the overall aesthetic a bit better!

2024/11/03 - updated lolita wardrobe
added a recently purchased dress that i'm super excited about, the sax blue royal fizz jsk by angelic pretty. i recently learned how to use xianyu (or at least stumble through the desktop version of the site), and have landed a few old school finds that i'm overjoyed to add to my closet.

2024/11/03 - updated home page
added a "lolibrary contributor" bannner with a link to lolibrary, and an angelic pretty bannner with a link to their site. i found the AP banner and the associated instructions on their site via wayback machine, and thought it would be cute to use here.

2024/11/03 - updated lolita wardrobe
added lolibrary links, official names, and release years to all legwear. maybe someday i will do this for all my hair accessories too, but i am not strong enough right now, lol.

2024/10/31 - updated lolita wardrobe

2024/10/26- quite a lot of updates this time!
i have changed my domain and username, shuffled this index page a bit and added some 88x31 banners, and updated my lolita spotlights page with some writing on medical themes in lolita fashion. i also added one item and did some layout adjustments on lolita wardrobe.

2024/10/20- updated lolita wardrobe.
added some items i got in japan; i spent the end of september and beginning of october there. i got sick almost as soon as i returned to the states, so i'm just now updating ^^; i didn't do much shopping in japan this time, i was mostly there to get some immigration and real estate paperwork out of the way. i'm closing on my house next week, and will be spending all of january over there getting things ready! only a few months left living in america, i'm happy about that.

2024/09/13- updated lolita wardrobe.

2024/07/16- updated lolita wardrobe.
i managed to get my hands on a secondhand metamorphose name of guardian OP after i just mentioned wanting to buy it. it always seems like once i speak an ISO into the world, it always shows up for me soon after. many thanks to the comm member who gave me a heads up on the listing ♡ i'm really excited for the little nurse set that metamorphose just announced, too!

2024/07/13-added the lolita spotlights page!
there is currently one spotlight: my wardrobe data. check it out if you want to read my autistic ramblings about numbers and small details about the things i like :) also did some cleanup of pages, moving images around and correcting some links and page titles.

2024/07/12- updated lolita fashion wardrobe.
lately i am selling off a lot of my more modern poly chiffon prints, and focusing on lightweight old school basics. recently i am realizing that i prefer more daily wearable type pieces, so even though i love the prints' artwork, there's no point in owning a whole garment that i won't often wear. so instead, i am focusing on trying to collect promotional novelty items featuring the key artwork from prints, and often selling the associated main piece. if anyone sees angelic pretty's jewel marine washi tape and/or stickers, please let me know! that's my number one ISO at the moment.
i have also been getting back into medical and nurse themed items, collecting a lot of the old metamorphose hospitality doll accessories (not yet featured on my wardrobe page), and hopefully getting the hospitality doll or engelsbeginn main piece to go with it. i love medical themes, and hope to add more to my wardrobe in the future. speaking of my aforementioned novelties search, i was excited to nab a few of the angelic pretty fancy hospital promotional items lately-- but i will definitely be keeping my fancy hospital jsk! it's one of my prized lolita pieces.

2024/07/05- big change! angelsealcat is now palmtreeseal! i wanted a username that reflects my personal aesthetic a bit more. i think the new domain has more of a tropical, summery vibe that suits my style :)
