BEST JUMPER EVER.

I just bought the worlds stupidest, yet most wonderful jumper. I actually looked like a fucking crazy bitch- laughing to myself in a shop, then laughing in the changing rooms. like, i got some wierd looks.
It makes me so happy to wear. i just looked down and start grinning
Impulse buying= downfall of mankind.

Knit wear and false fur- what to wear this winter

All pictures are from Cherry Pop gyaru- link to the blog on my sidebar.

knit wear and 'Christmas-style' jumpers are 'in' this season, I've seen dresses and over sized jumpers in a lot of magazines- worn with tights and legging ( jumper dresses)

colour schemes- pastel colours, creames, blacks, and faded denim, more natural colours

cute victorian coats have come back into fashion, with oversized collars and fake fur cuffs.

fake fur hats and accessories are also fashionable- with both pom-pom hats and russian styled hats.

'JELLY' front cover showing a fake fur handbag

'RANZUKI' ( yay! leopard print is coming back!) This cover is much more brightly coloured than the rest- with more extreme colours than the fashionable creams, blacks and pastel colours.

Make up wise the more minimalistic styles seem to be popular, with light blushers and minimal shading, and black on the lower eye. Giving a 'nude-eye' tone.

It seems to be a very plain and 'earthy' season, with suede boots and fake fur giving a 'natural' feeling to the outfits as well as the simplistic designs on the jumpers and faded ' ripped' denim shorts and jeans.

Personally i hope a crazier, brighter style comes back soon, though I think it gives off a very cute and innocent image ( I have stocked up on my knitwear - haha!)

What does it take to be gyaru?

Being gyaru isn't all about the deep tan and the big nails!

You've got to have that 'gal attitude'. The original Gyaru girls stood out from the strict image that Japanese men want in a woman, polite, refined, pale and beauitful and they turned it on its head, now days i guess its more about looking sexy but still standing out.. but i still think the old words have meaning! Us gals dont have to change because a man doesn't like it. You will make him like it!!

You gotta take pride in being gal- theres no such thing as a weekend gal, thats called a costume.Its a lifestyle not just a fashion!

So here are a few overall tips ( nothing specific to this months trends)

Never be afraid to go 'over the top' Big eyes, big tan, big nails, big attitude!

STAND OUT.

Take care of yourself, feel beauitful on the inside and you'll look radiant on the outside! Take the time out of day to spend time perfecting your hair and makeup.

You dont have to be a size zero to be gyaru! Aslong as you feel cute.

Accessorize! Mix and match- I dont care what anyone says, fashion rules are to be pushed- add your personal touch to your outfit.

Most importantly Have fun with it! enjoy standing out be confident and GET WILD AND BE SEXY

when i dress gal it gives me confidence!

Autumn is here

This is a bit of a personal post, just a few things that are going on with me

The main thing is that I broke up with my man after a 4 year serious relationship, he did nothing wrong, and was nothing but wonderful to me, but it wasn't 'going anywhere' so it ended. I guess when I let it sink in i feel a bit frightened, i've gotten used to that 'cozy, safe' feeling and now I'm by myself. But he'll always have a special place in my life he's a really wonderful, amazing guy and deserves the best- i know i'll get jelous when he finds a new woman in about 6 seconds- but deep down i'll be happy because i know he deserves it!

But i'm a big girl- i can handle it, eh? :)

To make matters worse i've been horrifically ill recently,my ear cannals have swollen up meaning i've been deaf, dizzy and its INCREDIBLY painful( like jabbing a needle through my ear into my brain!)

I have sucessfully eaten a whole jar of nutella single handed with a spoon haha

So one big change i've decided to make is that i'm going to look after myself alot better. I'm going to go to the gym once a week,( wednesdays to be precise) aswell as trying to keep my skin looking good and eating well. taking some style tips from AGEHA, if you dont feel beautiful you cant poosibly motivate yourself to keep looking beautiful- so try to keep your room tidy, and even your pjamas and lazy wear should be beautiful!

I just started my fashion course, which I'm actually enjoying and want to try my best! I'm thinking if all goes well to open up an online store selling some gal-style clothing ( IN WESTERN SIZES. my curves dont fit into azn sizes! haha)

anyway, more on that another time.

I'm going to sleep now xx

The first one is EuroGal- its a small site but has big brand names on it,such as JSG and Alba Rosa, and ships to Europe.My fave thing about it is that it sells old school items aswell as new.

second is Yukiumi, it sells clothing, 3d nails, accessories aswell as phone deco and beauty items!You can choose between Japanese and English language.

http://www.yukiumi.com/en/

Makiko Online store has loads of sections to choose from, such as cosplay and lolita, but its widest selection is gyaru and the clothes are so cute!- i've seen some really cute MA*RS items *o*

Strapya world is a great site to buy your phone deco from- they sell EVERYTHING. and SO much hello kitty. straps, keyrings, pompoms, everything is so sparkley!

Handmade sites like Etsy and Ebay are great to get one off buys from.
