new leather

All the stores have spring crap and I have been having a pretty hard time finding black leather/pleather jackets long enough to cover my navel on a thin day, so imagine my joy and pleasant surprise when I came across this hot little moto inspired jacket at Zara today! ¥12,900 for fake leather, but that's okay.

it's been a while

2 new outfits from recent outings!

First this one. I've been obsessed with shirt-dresses lately, and this is one that I bought recently. Skulls, random Engrish, I love it! I'm wearing that with ripped leggings and blue tights underneath. Also an F21 military-style jacket and engineer boots.














And next this one. I thought this gray hoodie would be long enough to be a short dress but I guess not, so I paired it up with uniqlo black pants-leggings. That thing on my head is a pleather-ish bow headband. Also wore glasses, which I haven't worn in a long time, but I love them! And of course, the boots I've been wearing a lot lately, the strappy chunky boots.

a new cami

I picked this little chippy up at a Daiei for ¥1500. It's black.

Quirky Boater Hat

It has been a while since I've posted! It has been too cold in my end of the island to go about my usual prancing around the house and trying on different outfits so I have completely neglected any posts since it got cold. :(

Temperatures have finally risen to double digits today!

Anyway my latest obsession is this:

A boater hat or a カンカン帽子. This one is from LOWRYS FARM.

It is so fun and quirky, I love it! The only problem is, I don't have a particularly good eye for style so I've been trying it with random outfits.

This is a polyvore collage the lovely Miss_igirisu made in honor of my hat!

This is how I wore it to work today:

Because the weather was so nice, I could finally bare some knees in these checked shorts and knee high socks!

This one is a white one I bought locally.

Tee hee hee!

My personal fashion icon

I realize this is my first time posting, but I did not want to waste my debut talking about myself. Instead I will be following in the footsteps of great posters before me and talk about my fashion icon. The man I model my current style on.

Andrew Dice Clay

Andrew Dice Clay circa 1980

Yes, Andrew Dice Clay is a crazy sexist and he is getting old. But, I love his style from the 1980s.
Here are some of my favorite looks:

Ride Hard

Neck Chain

I love clothes with tough and masculine details without being too "hardcore" Andrew Dice Clay managed to do very masculine and sexy looks, and still looked sophisticated. While I could never be as sexy or many as he was in the 80's, I find this style inspirational.

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. =]

she bangs she bangs

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)
