fashion icon?

For my first post, I'll talk about my fashion heroes- Catherine Deneuve and Brigitte Bardot. Yes, Bardot is a crazy racist and they both are getting old. But, I love their style from the 1960's.
Here are some of my favorite looks:





I love clothes with flirty and feminine details without being too "girly." Deneuve and Bardot managed to do very feminine and sexy looks, but still looked sophisticated. While I could never be as sexy or gorgeous as they were in the 60's, I find their style very inspirational.

Don't mind my blurry face, weird pose and messy house.

Picked this up at Pinky & Dianne today; it was on sale for about ¥3600. I need more NSFW clothes like these I've decided.

Dead and Gone.

Two weeks back at home constantly being under the Aussie sun really damaged my hair.

I came back to Japan with a good bottom half of my hair DEAD. :(

It was sooooo terrible I told the hairdresser I want all the dead bits OFF and GONE.


And my long long past boob length hair has now been reduced to this:

It is a bit too cold to have it this short in my opinion but atleast it will be less of a pain to deal with when I go snow boarding. =]

Just cut bangs. Wasn't thinking about the Buddy Holly glasses I ordered.

We may have a fatal clash of interests. Will update.

Shopping in Nagoya

So I went shopping in Nagoya today and wore the following:

The jacket is from Jacob. Scarf and headband are both from Loft. Earrings are from a kiosk in Kyoto. Necklace is from a kiosk in Unimall, Nagoya.

The necklace is actually a pocket watch, which I thought was pretty cool. You can't see it clearly from the picture but it has little inlaid crystal accents.

Shinnenkai outfit w/ new dress and boots!

I went to a shinnenkai on Saturday night (non-school related) so I dressed up in new clothes! I wore fake lashes and felt very glammed/Japanese-gothed(?) out haha.

First, pictures of the new dress and boots:

The dress has this interesting cut so it's pretty flowy. Its name was actually "ghost-cut one-piece." I just fell in love after seeing it and had to buy it! The boots I just got on Friday night when I was out drinking. They look kinda gray in this photo but they're actually a dark black. The studded belt is actually removable so I can put them on other boots if I want! 3900 yen yay!

And now the outfit:

Kinda blurry but mirror shots never turn out well anyway. With the new dress and boots, I'm also wearing a ZARA coat, striped tights, and a purse I got for about 10 bucks in Korea.

Also, kinda late, but Happy New Year!!!

new watch

i got one. and contacts.


Apologies for the out of focus shot.

winter vacation post

Daiso #11 eyelashes for New Years Eve. Party time.

What I wore to see some local bands. I've had that stupid miniskirt since high school.

And of course what you really wanted to see - the pink cape from my aunt. Regrettably, I had no room in my luggage to bring it back, so it will live at my parents' house for the time being.

Right now it's 8:05 am and I'm sitting at my home airport waiting to start the journey home. I'm wearing that black dress I always wear. It really is a uniform.

WAA WAA WAA Uniqlo is shit!

This goes out to all the haters. This outfit is 99% Uniqlo!

Tights, skirt, t-shirt, pink undershirt; Uniqlo (the pink undershirt is heat tech so double points!)

Since the outfit is plain, it gives you a good chance to go to town on the accessories and hair. Big curls, cute hat, necklace, jacket... and pink slippers. It's all good.

When I can be bothered I will post another Uniqlo haters post. Show y'all how it's done.

Peace out.

Concert Goods

Mini dress I bought at the GLAY concert in November. In case you can't tell, it's a skull-apple that is being bitten down across the front. The sleeves are too short, but I get the feeling they're kind of supposed to be.

(P.S. Please ignore my laundry hanging outside. :P)

Zara

Posting from Summerland! <3

I have escaped Wintery Japan for the time being and headed south for home =]

So for you folks still in Winter wonderland here are some Summer dresses to freshen things up!

Here are the dresses I bought at the Boxing Day Sales <3 dress

Dress 1) Red Floral Dress <3

Dress 2 and 3) Casual Summer Tank Dress in a lace pattern and leopard print. They were a bargain at $20 for two dresses. Very comfy and casual, ideal for a lazy Summer day of catching up and ice coffee.

Dress 4) Little Black Dress with Zip. I've always wanted to try the zipper look but have found most zipper items to be uncomfortable to wear and some what trashy and provocative but this one- I love it!


The zip doesn't go all the way down so there is no fear that someone could completely unzip my dress and result in it flapping around like a coat (but I guess any sort of unzipping won't look good here either! :) I have red peep toe heels on in this picture.




This shall be my New Years Eve dress to welcome the fab year of 2010!
(unless I find something better! :P )

Glasses

I want a pair like these. Y/N?

everyday fashion

This is kind of a throw away post, I'm mostly just trying to find a good place in my room to set up my camera. This is an example of my average outfit. The striped shirt is one of 3 I got at Costco, and I wear them all the time because they have longer than average sleeves. <3 The skirt is one of those Uniqlo ones you can wear either as a skirt or a dress, this is my first time wearing it as a skirt. I think I lose a little fashion sense when the weather gets cold because all I care about is keeping warm...

Zara

My recent go-to fashion

I call it "shirts under stuff". So I have a nice Uniqlo t-shirt with a pink rocking horse on the front. It's good but a bit ... meh. So how do I make it better? Shove a shirt under it! Pair with some shirt shorts and high heels (not in picture..) and hey presto.

When I'm in Korea I'll take loads of pictures of my new hair extensions for the next post!

tit curtains

Top and necklace were a birthday present from my friend's mom.

I am generally not "for" tit curtains but I think this top is acceptable belted, as it goes off the shoulder and contains copious amounts of black lace. I love the necklace too - jewelry is one of those things I never treat myself to, so I'm always happy to receive it as a gift.
