I decided at first to add a panel into the sides, but when I realized it took too much away from the skirt, I nixed the idea. After some more thinking, I ended up with a pinafore styled JSK. It works pretty good and I enjoy the alteration almost as much as the original cut. 

Working on the alteration itself. How Richard got this photo is beyond me. He’s not even very good with the SLR. 

Trying out a coord. I’m not entirely sure how I want to wear this still but this was a good feeler. 

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed this post. For the most part this counts as an OOTD, but the alteration was a huge part of it. I decided not to show the process because most of the photos turned out blurry or hard to see.

This little tutorial shows you how to register for and download your first ifansland theme.  Please already have your iphone jailbroken as I will not be explaining how to do this process.

I am not responsible if you do this incorrectly and damage or brick your phone. I have never had any problems with this, nor have I ever damaged my phone from using any of the themes I have used personally. You do this at your own risk. 

(Sorry to anyone with Dial-up. There’s a few images here.)

To start, go to iFansland’s website.  You’re going to need an account to download any of the themes here, so let’s register our account.

If you do not have an auto-translator, or Google Chrome (which also translates) then the top right-hand corner will look like this. Please click the circled area in your own web browser to get to the registration page.

Insert all your chose details such as your username (I picked happiimilk), your password and an email for all your notifications and such to go to.  Now, I made a mistake and entered my email into the bottom box. Please do not enter anything here.

Instead, click the words in red as they are anti-bot codes that are auto-entered for you!  Hit the submit button, and you will be ready to navigate for your theme!

Scroll down towards the bottom of your screen. When you see a potted plant, click the icon to go into the Themes Subforum.  These are the iPhone themes and most work with iOS 5+.

Pick your theme! There are about 100 or so pages of themes, so browse them all. There are some real jewels hidden among the pages. I selected this Hello Kitty theme at random for the tutorial.

After you have picked your theme, click and go into the thread of the artist. They usually provide screenshots of how the theme looks when it is applied to your Winterboard.

Okay, so this is definitely the theme you want, it’s a full  set theme. (some ARE incomplete and missing icons. Be aware of this and try to figure out who tends to have the most complete sets. The artists tend not to vary and so you can judge who has the best/provides the most) Scroll to nearly the bottom and check to see if your theme has a cost (1). If they do, you usually get money (Paradise Currency) by posting on theme threads with 15 or more words per post. You also get a daily log in bonus. If it costs, click the circled button (2) as pictured. If there is no cost, or you have paid for your theme, click the file name and depending on the artist, it may just contain a link to a Chinese version of hotfile where you can download your .zip file of your theme. Do not confuse this for not getting your theme!! DOUBLE CHECK.

Now that you have your theme downloaded, unzip it and rename the file so it’s not in Chinese and you can identify it on your phone.

Open your file manager program of your choice on your PC to start transferring your theme. I like iFunBox. It’s easy to use and easy to navigate. 

Open your RAW SYSTEM FILES and enter the VARS folder. This accesses all the root folders of your iPhone where all your themes and such are stored for all your applications.

After you enter your VARS folder, click STASH. This is where all your modules are actually stored.

Click THEMES. This may have some numbers after the file as mine shows, but it just depends on your device. I’ve seen it without as well. 

Transfer your renamed theme over to the folder and YOU ARE FINISHED!  You have successfully added the theme to your device. After it has finished loading, open your WinterBoard application in your phone and find your theme. I named mine Leopard Girly because I picked a girly leopard theme. Select and respring your device. Your theme should be up and running!

Tip: If you are missing icons, move into the theme via your file manager and go into the Bundles folder. Find the icons affected (camera or whatever) and try messing with the icon names. If it says just icon.png, try changing it to Icon.png, Camera@2x.png or Camera@2x~iphone.png. Capitalization makes all the difference here. Some of the themes call for capital file names and some don’t. Any one of these combinations usually work in making the icons switch over. Be sure to respring your device after each name change to make sure the changes were applied to your device!!

My room when I started. It’s really cutesy and cake-themed. I’m trying to mix it up a little more and organize it in a more comprehensive way.

Just stalking other people’s houses is fun too. Of course, cleaning, watering and doing little action items earns you in-game gems so you can purchase even more cute stuff.

At Una’s house crackin’ my back?

And my house as it is now. I have the Persian Kitty bed and the Black Cat bed but then, I can’t work three beds into my house. 

(that I ultimately forgot to go to… )

this month that really put me out of commission.  It was all sniffles and really bad coughing that, unfortunately, I had to deal with at work. Thankfully, in the medical setting you get access to all kinds of facial respirators so I kept my germs to myself for the most part. 

I pulled out my old GLW wig (the very first one I bought) and it really worked out for this outfit. I feel like maybe it was refreshing to work the old in with the new.  After we got down there, we had sushi and walked around for a bit. In the end, I ended up walking into Fairytale Boutique and looking around for stuff to pine for.  Some how I managed to walk away with a dream dress set. Well, almost the set. I need to find the socks and matching tote bag, but I got the matching headbow included.  I’m debating on altering it or just waiting to see how this year turns out for me. (Yeah, well, I can still have hope that I will work harder this year…)

Woo hoo! I found the collared navy blue version of Merry Making Party. This dress is unshirred and therefore, a serious commitment. Either to making the best alteration of my life, or of  actually completing a project I started for once.  We’ll have to wait and see.

I bought the Tokimeki necklace to match the outfit since I don’t really own any brand jewelry. It was a nice addition to my wardrobe and is actually pretty cute to wear even casually.  After all that, I still ended up in Kinokuniya looking for the achachumu cat bag mook. Miki at Fairytale Boutique had just sold the last one (she actually was walking out with it as I was walking in) to someone else before I got to get one. It’s ok though, I found mine for a bit cheaper so it was a mini-win.

Okay, this bag is easily my most favorite bag (next to my poor Juicy bag which is long gone now) . I love it so much and the postcard book that came with it is just adorable. I don’t think I’d ever be able to bring myself to use them up.  I love the super sturdy box it came in too. As a box hoarder, I now have a super cute kitty box that I never have to throw away because I can totally use it to store crap in. 

Happy New Year, everyone!

Since I didn’t get to do anything this time around, I’m just going to add some photos of presents I forgot to post in my last post. Some of them were late gifts due to shipping, but I’m grateful for them nonetheless!

Super Sonico has become more and more of an obsession for me. Richard bought me this Super Sonico dakimakura of a figure  I own of her. It’s so cute and soft. I never thought I’d have a “waifu” pillow!

3D poster of Super Sonico. This was a really unexpected gift. I knew it was a poster, but the 3D effect on it is really cool and I can’t wait to put it up on my wall.

These boots were on the top of my wishlist for Christmas. They’re from LovelyShoes.net and I couldn’t be happier.

When I saw these boots while I was wishlisting, I nearly died. I’m so happy Richard bought them for me. They match most of my outfits and they were just too cute to pass up. They’re actually knee high boots, but I don’t have any boot trees to support the stockings so they’re all droopy.

Both pairs of shoes are surprisingly comfortable and I’m putting together pictures to do a review on them.

My iPad mini case finally came in the mail! Thank you, Crystal! It’s so incognito! Course, if you look closely, the spine says “book Book volume XIL” You can tell it’s a terrible give away that it’s not really a book at all. XIL isn’t even a number!

I am really loving the iPad mini too. It’s actually made me forget that I even have an iPhone from time to time. I use it for everything.

I used to think tablets were really unpractical but then holy crap, as soon as I got one, I realized just how practical they really are. Isn’t that funny how that works?

Welp, I’m off to take Connor for a walk, I’m taking the Couch to 5K challenge and hoping I can dedicate myself to actually finishing it! Good luck on all your resolutions and may 2013 bring you much joy and prosperity!

This year, Richard’s family wasn’t with us so we spent a few hours on Skype with his little sister, watching her open up her presents! I’m so happy, you love the tablet, lil sis!   Afterwards, we drove up to Santa Clarita with Connor to have Christmas with my sister, whom I am on speaking terms with again. I really did miss her and I’m happy she and I are friends again. She made us crepes and breakfast, which was wonderful. She’s come a long way with her cooking skills!

I didn’t get any photos of us unwrapping presents, because I was too busy with everyone enjoying their gifts. We had a great time trolling Richard. During November I had accidentally told him what one of his gifts was and so I convinced him for over a month that I had sent the item back to the store for a refund to get something else. On Christmas day, both my sister and I prepared individual gag gifts (related) to trick him. He got the item I made the mistake on (tomahawk from Assassin’s Creed III) and he loves it.

Beautiful diamond bracelet from Clayton!

Set of matching earrings as well. They’re just beautiful!

Rilakkuma satchel from Richard as a birthday present! It’s so cute and I plan to use it a lot.

Beautiful OOAK makeup clutch and matching purse from my sister. The artist who made this is flipping amazing! I love this set so much!

An off camera slave-flash from Richard. It wasn’t the right shoe fit for my camera, but I can still use it as a slave!

Tony Moly mascara and lipstick from Richard and Caitlin. This stuff is AMAZING!

The unexpected coup de grace from my sister, an iPad mini. Hory shit! THANK YOU!

This is Connor!

Those ears! They’re so big and radar-like! We adopted him, we didn’t buy him from a breeder, but he was calm and very happy to meet us when we first encountered him. We had looked at a few different GSDs but, he really stood out the most for us.   He’s aware of some commands, so I think someone may have already been working with him on his manners and obedience. He’s a little distracted when we walk around outside, but I’m sure it’s because it’s all new and over-stimulating right now.

Richard is absolutely enamored with him already. I’m so glad too. He had such a hard time bonding with other pets that he never really developed an emotional attachment for one. I think running him through the adoption mill, so to speak, was good for him. Connor is gonna be his vidya game buddy, I can see it now.

I spent my lolita day looking around online for things to add to my wishlist and drinking sweet chocolate, and ice cream alcoholic drinks with my sister. It was fun and just what I needed to relax on my weekend.

I ended up finding some really pretty things that I feel like I need in my closet ASAP. Maybe when tax returns come in?

Metamorphose has come out with their Fancy Egg series which is just magic in the water for me.  I love it so much! Faberge eggs are super charming to me, and while I don’t love the diamond print all that much, the eggs are so detailed you almost forget about the rest of the pattern! I’d still purchase it and use it for meetups.

The cut is very simple, but it seems like it would work and that anything else might be too over-powering. The eggs are already very ornate and doing anything besides a simple neckline like this would make this piece way to OTT for most. The chiffon belt is a nice touch too.

Admittedly, I hnngh’d. I haven’t really been in love with what Baby has been putting out and so when I was derping around looking for things to make my wallet and heart-ache, I found this beauty. Of course, with the chest straps, it might not look good on my boobs, but at the same, maybe they would distract from the size? It’s a very comely piece and I could easily see it working for the start of a spring wardrobe.

Inowa is the one who has really got me by the heart strings this season. They released a biscuit series that, while late, is super attractive.

Okay, now, I’ve lost it. The bag too? Goddamnit, there goes all my money. This series, for as simple as it is, is glorious. The hair accessory is super adorable too.

It doubles as a corsage, so you don’t have to put it in your hair. It looks just as lovely as a breast pin!

Welp, I’m pretty tired now that I’m sober.

All I want to do now is go to sleep and sleep my whole weekend!

Sorry for the bad quality, it was already getting super dark when we took the photo so my little iphone did the best it could to gather light!  I’m actually wearing my osanpo-chan skirt, but it was so cold and wet that I couldn’t stand to be without my coat for more than a minute.  Sorry, I’ll have to do it again some other time.
