Cheers to the new year of 2023 🎉🎉 May nothing be a pain in the booty, only simple problems please. Of course, I won't say no to 100% problem-free ✨️✨️ My NY resolution is to step even further outside my comfort zone and do wackier stuff 🧸🧸 Weeeeeeeee!!!!! 👻👻 🍭 👻👻 #happynewyear #newyearsresolution #happynewyear2023 #cheers🍻 #kookiekaoru #kookiefashion #ootd #jfashion #jfashionblogger #workwearstyle #clothingdesign #casualstyle #casuallolita https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm5mUuHPtpu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tried @por.no_donuts for the first time and they are good 💕💕 Another one to add to the vegan list 🥳🥳 Pillow-y soft donuts with a good amount of filling for the filled ones 🍩🍩 Very nice flavours (ie. not icky sweet) and I gotta admit, I'm a filling fiend, not so much a ring bling 😋😋 I have tried the lemon meringue, pumpkin spice and not Nutella - all insanely good, total food-porn-level good 🍪🍰 I've been enjoying some good food, I think it's time to get back to the food fashion side 👗🥑 🥬🥬 🍓 🍕🍕 #doughnuts #donuts #filleddonuts #wellingtonnz #sweetfoods #sweettooth #dessert🍰 #desserts #dessertporn #dessertlover #veganism #veganfood #vegandessert #veganfoodporn #jfashionlover https://www.instagram.com/p/CkmQ20PvR7d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Once again, it has been a while 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ I just can't seem to Insta! Going through probably the busiest time of my life, not year but worth it (or so I hope) 🥂🥂 This is my Halloween, spreading candy joy while I curate a bunch of stuff to make myself clothes errr.....costumes - every day is Halloween in my household 👻👻 Even if I forget to get candies from the store, I still have enough to feed y'all 🍫🍬🍭 That's how serious my stash is, so bring it T-&-Ters 🥳😈 🍫🍫 👻 🍬🍭 #halloween #halloween🎃 #halloweeneveryday #halloweenspirit #halloweenlover #chocolatelovers #chocolates #candies #trickortreat #cookiesforbreakfast #cookies #chocolates #sweets #sweettoothforever (at Wellington, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkXa0-tPewQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I never thought of burgers as sinful delights, but this one right here....uh oh 🍔🍔 The best thing here is how everything goes together, a symphony in my mouth 😋😋 The donut buns and the marshmallow-y Biscoff yum-yum 🍩🍩 The deconstructed cherry pie? I enjoyed the crispiness so much the cherry portion got on my coat 😅😅 Get an all-in-one bite and the texture and flavours will open your mind to getting another one 🥰🥰 Not at all overpowering-ly sweet, it's just a special kind of moreish 💕💕 🍒🍒 🥧 🍩🍩 #doughnuts #doughnutburger #wellingtonnz #wellington #woap2022 #woapburger #dessert🍰 #dessertburger #biscoff #dessertlover #veganism #veganfood #vegandessert #sweetfoods #sweettooth #sweet #donutlover #donut (at Sweet Release) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chv733wPFL5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's all about burgers now #wellyonaplate 🍔🍔 Lucky for me, all that is sweet is not gone 🍨🍨 How I love these Zelapatties! Lovely colours and amazing flavours and a very interesting tribute to SpongeBob! Favourite cartoon and favourite flavour, how can I resist 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ How I miss pandan goodies 💚💚 It's sweet but not in artificial and overwhelming ways like most pandan snacks. It's very easy to mess up pandan because it can be sickeningly sweet but Zelati crushed it 🤩🤩 The ube was different as it is delightfully ube-ey AND I love that Zelati made a special one for this event 💜💜 Banana caramel - yum 😋😋 The star of my life if you haven't figured out yet, is PANDAN 😝😝 My request for a tub of pandan gelato still stands and now that I have tasted this super ube gelato, gimme a tub of that too 🥰🥰 I gots to do a getup to celebrate this trio 🤣🤣 🍌🍌 🍬 🍵🍵 #wellyonaplate #wellingtonnz #woap2022 #woapburger #gelato #desserts #dessert🍰 #sweets #sweetfoods #dessertlover #sweettooth #sweettoothforever #dessertburger #icecreamlover #icecream (at Zelati Gelato & Sorbet) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChtrKJhvdgp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It has been a while since I posted about some noms because *no-outside reasons* 😬😬 While people are raging about WOAP, which I will in due time, allow me to indulge in my love for sweets 🍪🍰This place has been buzzing in my ear and whoop dee doo dah, OPPORTUNITY 🥳🥳 Each time I pull out that cardboard tray from the paper bag, I get different, sweet delight(s) 😚😚 Like always, impressed by creativity and innovation in the #vegan community 😊😊 The sweets are delicious and very interesting flavour profiles at times like the creme brulee donut and the citrusy ginger cronut (I never remember names but flavours? YES!) 🤤🤤 There are savoury pies too and I've tried them - very nice indeed - the shepherd's pie is a dream 🥧🥧 Will the day for a dessert pie ever come?? Just a suggestion there 😋😋 One thing I seem to experience quite often is the difference in texture in the same item. Nothing bad but very intriguing 🍰🍰 Like always again, I can't say much about coffees because I don't drink 'em. I only drink sweet stuff like shakes 😅😅 BUT, if the food is any indication, their coffees must be good 😄😄 🎂🎂 🥧 🧁🧁 #veganism #wellingtonfood #wellingtonnz #supportlocalbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #café #sweets #desserts #dessert🍰 #sweetfoods #cakes #brownies #crèmebrûlée #coffeetime #snacktime #teatime (at Belén Vegan Bakery) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChOCsl6vVUv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's a dark, dark time now 💀💀 Gothic fashion is finally in for me 🖤🖤 Recently I've gotten some time to think about my work wardrobe from all the packing and unpacking *yes, my wardrobe is serious business to me* and I realised how much I hate formal workwear 👀👀 Very uninspired, and just different cuts of suits in different colours 😑😑 How does Barney Stinson do it....🥱🤣 👻👻 💗 🥑🥑 #nothingsuitsmelikeasuit #nothingsuitsme #gothicfashion #gothicstyle #atelierpierrot #eglfashion #eglfashioncommunity #ootd #kookiekaoru #kookiefashion #worklifebalance #workwearstyle #gothiclolita https://www.instagram.com/p/CgnULFDvfmo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have been going through my wardrobe for moving base purposes and I decided to make a comparative pic 😅😅 One side is me 2 years ago and the other one, taken just yesterday 🦄🦄 I can totally believe how much I have changed 😵‍💫😵‍💫 Stress can kill a person y'all 🥃🥃 If you can guess which one is which, is there something you would like from my wardrobe? 🤣🤣 🍿🍿 🌮 🍉🍉 #ootd #kookiekaoru #kookiefashion #sunflowerfashion #himekaji #himegyaru #himekajifashion #summervibes #worklifebalance #japanesefashion #japanesestreetfashion #lizlisa_instasnap #lizlisajapan #casualstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/Cefo3Rqv8Se/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I would like to introduce to you, the very fine morsel I named myself after - the cookie 🍪🍪 I grew up eating some insanely delectable cookies, whether home-baked or bespoke ones 🍵🍫 Can't call where I live "home" without delicious cookies to make it homey and so my journey to find some scrumptious, moreish cookies began (or should I say vegan 😋) 💕💕 🍪🍪 ✨️ 🍪🍪 @vandoughsnz came to be recently and it has been like a dream but in real life (wut?) 🥳🥳 My photography skills do not do these bad boys justice 🍪💗 Great for a teatime snack or dessert after a boring dinner ☺️☺️ These cookies are definitely something to look forward to after a meal 💕💕 My favourite would be the Mucho Matcha and Ube de Coco 💚💜 Oh the flavours, YUMMMM 🥰🥰 They do not leave a sickeningly sweet aftertaste, they HAVE flavour and are just delicious to boot 💝💝 Bonus points for being vegan! I would like to suggest a Halloween special, pumpkin spice 🎃🎃 I've been in for every drop including extras at Zelati, have you gotten yours this week yet? 😋😋 🍫🍫 🍪 🍵🍵 #supportlocalbusiness #supportlocalwellington #veganism #veganlife #veganfood #cookiestagram #cookies #artisancookies #wellingtonnz #wellingtonfood #desserts #dessertlover #cookiesforbreakfast #kookiekaoru #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness (at Zelati Gelato & Sorbet) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdo4QDNvuKE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Easter is coming and my sweets hoarding (eating too, well....extra eating) has begun 🌈🌈 This #ootd of mine reminds me a lot of ice cream 🍦🍦 Then again, which one doesn't am I right 🥴🥴 Maybe it's because of the pastel colours and the first ice cream I ever had was Neopolitan and it was as bright and pastel as.....any pastel Lolita outfit? 🍭🍭 🍨🍨 🎂 🍧🍧 #latergram #latergram📷 #kookiekaoru #kookiefashion #eglfashioncommunity #eglfashion #pastel #pastellolita #sweetlolita #harajukufashion #sweetlolitafashion #aliceandthepirates #jfashionlover #jfashion #dessert🍰 (at Wellington, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcAMsCDv9hy/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is a #latergram📷 #ootd which coincided with the release of F&F's spicy peanut butter release 👻🔥 So this is one sweet and spicy post 🍰🌶 I made spicy tofu with the Carolina Reaper butter and put it on a bed of quinoa and brown rice (Pic 4) 🍛🍛 I'm no chef just as how I'm not a model, but it was banging in flavour and spice 🥂🥂 🥜🥜 🫑 🌶🌶 #kookiekaoru #kookiefashion #spicy #spicyfood #spicytofu #kawaiiaesthetic #kawaiifashion #mymelody #lizlisa_instasnap #jfashion #harajukufashion #harajukustyle #shibuyafashion #himekajifashion #gyarufashion (at Wellington, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb1XW5QvGSb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today's food #ootd is inspired by mint chocolate chip ice cream 🍦🍦This also brings back those bear chocolate cream biscuit memories back 🍫🍫 It was an Asian delight back in the 90s 🥰🥰 YES, I'm old, thank you! 🙈🙈 I was that kid who would eat that for lunch and call it a day 😚😚 Who cares about main savoury meals?? 👻👻 It's a pretty warm day and my ice cream is melting, which makes me saaaad....😵‍💫😵‍💫 I don't want soup! I want stone-cold, creamy, sweet yum-ness 🍭🍭 🍦🍦 🍫 🍦🍦 #kookiekaoru #kookiefashion #dessert #icecream #sweets #sweetlolitafashion #eglfashion #harajukufashion #jfashion #chocolate #chocolatelovers #chocolatecake #chocolatecookies #dessertforbreakfast #axesfemmekawaii #mintchocolatechip #himekaji (at Wellington, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbi7iYzv0HL/?utm_medium=tumblr

PSA and no-promo 🦄🦄 Skincare is mucho importante and it's unfortunate how most people view it as a luxury or a point for vanity 😔😔 It's about HEALTH 🍊🍋🍎 It's the same as eating healthy to maintain your inner organs, your skin is the largest organ you have and it's outside, no protection whatsoever unless you slap them products on 🌻🌻 Heard of psoriasis, eczema and the skin big C? 😵‍💫😵‍💫 Being pretty would be the last on the priority list if these problems are present 🔥🔥 If you're thinking, 'What this ugly lass talking about skincare for when she has busted-ass skin?' 👻👻 🍊🍊 🍵 🍊🍊 Let me spill the tea for you 🍵🍵 You wouldn't recognize me if you saw my old pics - skin redness and super acne 😝😝 What you see of me now is a mega huge improvement 👻👻 Putting looks aside, my skin hurt all the time and it was insanely uncomfortable 🔥🔥 Pictured are my fave products and it's no secret that matcha (green tea) is good for health 🍵🍵 If it works for insides, surely it works for the outside no? My belly loves matcha and I'm glad my skin gets to experience the same 🍵🍵 🌸🌸 💚 🌸🌸 #skincare #skincarejunkie #skincarelover #skincareblogger #kookiekaoru #skincareproducts #skingoals #healthylifestyle #veganism #skinhealth #skincaredaily (at Wellington, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbWs7Yrv8vj/?utm_medium=tumblr
