❆Christmas 2024 OOTD❆

Talk about late! It's been more than a month since Christmas but I totally forgot to share the outfit I had for a nice dinner with a family friend. One day, I promise, I will learn to take a good picture so that the outfit can actually be, you know, seen? That would be great.


A close up of my dangly heart earrings. Do not mind my anemic complexion.

Thrift Find ???

Guess who was just clearing out some pictures and realized there's some thrift finds that I never posted? Yeah, me! All the way in December of last year, I picked up a few cute things from one of our recycleries in town. First was this pretty simple but cute green top from Pimkie. It has lovely fanned out sleeves, one of my favourites. Here's me wearing it. Weird angle!


I also got a very cute scarf, I have so many scarfs but they are so cheap at the thrift store and fun to match with my outfits, so I can't resist.


I'm really excited to go to the recyclerie this weekend, I haven't been in ages. Hopefully my luck is good and I come across something worthwhile!

CUTiE Magazine (1988-2015) Archive List

CUTiE (1988~2015)

Hi there! I'm making some lists of fashion magazines that I really love for comprehensive browsing. I don't scan or uplaod so all the credit goes to the great people who put in the hard work so the rest of us can enjoy the plentiful archives of fashion. I would like to particularly thank Ferro of ita.toys and chemicalsoda who had many awesome scans that I have linked to on this page. Also big thanks to all Internet Archive contributors that have made so many of the CUTiE magazines available. Here's a link to the site of the mag as archived in 2003 and 2012.

 So, about CUTiE. VirtualJapan summarizes the magazine by saying this: "CUTiE Magazine is a Japanese fashion magazine marketed toward “independent girls”. It operates as a hybrid of sorts, integrating street fashion in the same manner as FRUiTS Magazine while including a wide array of fashion articles and manga cartoons as included in many other popular girls magazines. Almost 25 years old (Already 37 in 2025!), CUTiE is also one of the older, more established of the Japanese fashion magazines, presenting the same basic perspective that it has since the 1980s."

Thrift Finds 15 Jan 2025

We finally made it to the elusive recyclerie in the next town over. It was seriously worth it because I picked up a bunch of stuff, DVDs, CDs, and of course, some clothes.

First is this blouse from MS Mode in a size 48 which is pretty big for me, but I dig the oversized look. I actually want to fix it up a bit so that the shoulders and revealed more. I do love a plaid though, so I grabbed it up fast when I saw it.

I also got this skirt with a bit of a texture. It's a gray-green and generally works with a lot of the colours I wear often, like brown and green. It's cute and simple and I have an addiction to skirts.

This bag sadly doesn't have tags so I couldnt find where it was from, but I love it! I was never a big bag collector but I do see the appeal, especially if it's cheap and thrifted. I got these items and 4 CDs and 3 DVDs for only 2 euro! Now that's what I'm talking about.


These ones are cheating a bit because they aren't thrifted, I got them on a crazy sale at Kiabi. I'm trying to shop strictly second-hand now that I have some combat boots again and don't really need any new clothes but I was persuaded by the price and colour. 

Also, the blog has had a make-over! Hurray! I was actually trying to simplify the design but somehow ended up doing the total opposite. Still I'm pretty happy with it, and I hope you like it too, whoever you are reading this! To a whole new year of fun fashion and thrifting!
