Loraine 花見 🌸

Last year when we first visited Café Loraine we heard they were having a Hanami event and even tho we really wanted to go, we couldn't because of work and well, the pandemic was a lot worse than how it is now. 

Earlier this month, some of my friends wanted to have our own Hanami to celebrate the beginning of the Spring season. We didn't really see many flowers and as some of you might know, "Hanami" means Flower viewing so, I guess it was more like a Spring picnic. It was still fun tho.

Loraine's Hanami is an indoors picnic under a fake Sakura tree. We don't have real Sakura in my country so, is the closest we can get, hehe. 

You have to make a reservation because they only allow 2 groups of 6 people max. And it's only on Thursdays. I believe they'll have it until April. I'm not sure tho.

They prepared this big tablecloth thingy with lots of pillows under the tree. Everything in pink and blue. This café is very pink, I love it.

We paid $343.00 for the whole thing that included: Maki, Pink Lemonade, Taro or pink Latte, a kiré, pink Hershey's, a plushie and socks because we couldn't stand on the tablecloth with our shoes. They also gave us a free milkshake coupon.

Our food came in cute baskets. And even tho the maki was a bit soggy for me, it was pink and blue, which made it super cute. 

The Kiré was delish! I believe it was strawberry with blueberries and some flower petals. I just loved it. My taro latte was pretty good too.

Even tho we got different drinks, they were all pretty and decorated. 

I think the bunny was the cutest

I think all in all, it was a great experience, defo worth it. I feel like they take care of the little things and I appreciate that. The staff is always super nice and the place is perfect for pictures!

Random photo dump 🌸:

We forgot to take a plushie group pic but we all got penguins. This is mine, Pen-Pen.

Café Loraine has other seasonal events too. Hopefully we'll be able to go more often this year.

Lipton Sakura Tea 🌸

Spring is pretty much here  and that means it's Sakura season in Japan. As a sakura and Japan lover, it was exciting to find this tea. 

I believe it was last year when I saw people sharing this Lipton Sakura tea on Youtube during Spring in Japan and I was very curious to try it but I couldn't find it anywhere. A couple of weeks ago, when I went to a mini expo thingy wiyh my friends, I found it in a stall that had many cool imported things from Japan and, I had to get it.

I have to mention the presentation cuz it's really cute! The tea comes in a resealable pink bag with sakura flowers.

The package comes with 12 pyramyd shaped bags and smells very floral once you open it.

I don't know why I thought the tea would have a bright red color but it is more like a brownish red. Also the smell changes completely once you prepare it.

In my mind the taste would be as floral as it smells but, I was very surprised when I tried it, it does taste like cherries. To me, it tastes like a tutsi pop, haha. Maybe it's not the best way to describe it but it is a very unique flavor.

Usually, I like my drinks to be sweet but, I've tried it with and without sugar. Just to taste both options. And I have to say both are pretty good.

  And since the weather is becoming a little warmer, I had it cold too! 

Even tho this tea isn't easy to find over here, I think the price was pretty decent compared to other tea I've seen.

I'll defo buy more if I see it again, it is really is worth trying. 

🌸 Flower Sculptures | Town Square Spring 2021 |

 

It's Spring! And that means: Flowers everywhere!

A few days ago, my mom found out about this "Flower Festival" that was held in Town Square and since we can't really do much on our Spring break, we decided to make a quick stop and check it out.

Town Square is a shopping center that has many open spaces so, I wasn't as paranoid to be there (I only took my mask off for the pic tho). We also went as early as possible, knowing it wouldn't be too crowded and didn't spend much time there.

To our surprise, it wasn't really a "festival", it looked more like nice Spring decoration with artificial flowers. Still the sculptures looked nice and I can't imagine the work behind them.

These are all the sculptures we found on the first floor. We didn't really check the others but, they don't really decorate the other floors much anyway.

My fav has to be the peacock, it was also the biggest one.

OOTD: Spring Flowers!

Here's another Spring look for you guys.

I don't wear florals that often but Spring is the perfect time to wear fun and colorful flower patterns.

I love this high waisted skirt from H&M because it's super comfortable to wear, it's not super short but it doesn't feel too long either (makes sense?). Plus the colors are really bright but I still find it easy to match.

The ruffle-neck tank top is actually a bit old, it's from a brand called Thinner. The quality is really good since it still looks good after so many years. I really like the ruffle detail, it makes the tank top look a lot more girly.

The shoes... Awwh, I love these navy blue, velvety lace up shoes from Primark. I also have them in burgundy. What I like the most about them (aside from being comfortable) is that I can wear them in both, cold and hot weather, and make it work!

And I can't forget about my golden sunglasses from Stradivarius. I love them even tho they are super heavy!

OOTD: "The only men I trust is RaMen"

Hello loves!

I always want to share more ootds in here but I just never get to do it. And now that I'm staying at home, I don't really wear nice things. Just comfy stuff.

So I decided to share some of the outfits I wore last Spring that I still love today. I'm sure some of you saw them on my IG at some point but, I'll go into more detail here.

Excuse my pics... I suck at taking pics of clothes.

I'm gonna start with the skirt, which has to be one of my favorites ever. It's a metallic pink, midi-skirt from City & Co. I always get so many compliments on this skirt.
Since the metallic color can be too much to go out on a regular day, I always try to wear it with casual, simple t-shirts and comfy shoes.
I'm sure it'd look nice with more elegant pieces tho. I've just havent had the chance to wear it like that.

Moving on to the t-shirt, well... it is also one of my favorites. It's from Cuidado con el Perro and it says "The only men I trust is ramen" Because yeah, ramen before men haha.
I get most of my tees from this store because they have fun and cool designs and collaborations with shows and movies I like. I even like to buy from the men section~ they always get the coolest collabs.
Plus quality is good for very affordable prices.

As for the shoes, these were a gift from my mom. They are super comfy and I have them in black too.

Ignore my awkward posing. Lol.
