Hey everyone! So I know I haven't blogged in a while, but y'all know how the holidays can get and I really haven't had very much time to just sit around and blog! But regardless, I hope everyone had a marvelous holiday season and continue to have one in the following days!
I'm worried I won't be able to get to my laptop in time to post this, so it's gonna be a picture-less blog post today!
So 2011 has been a pretty good year for me! It's been hella busy, but so fun! I've done a lot this year, sand I'm hoping to do more in 2012!! So let's recap all of the things that have happened in 2011:
- travelled to New York City, Chicago, and Las Vegas
- got a new camera
- choreographed my first (and second) dances by myself
- started doing reviews for circle lenses and makeup
- started my YouTube channel
- had my first spare in my schedule
- got my first job
- turned 17
- successfully pulled off my biggest cosplay yet
- bought my Jeffery Campbell Litas
I guess I haven't necessarily had the most exciting year, but it's been a good one and I look forward to the upcoming year immensely! And while we're on the topic, I should go through my 12 by 2012 list and see which I've accomplished and which I haven't!
1) I still haven't applied for my uni choices, but that was mostly because I was still confused about what career path I'm aiming for. Now that I've decided on my career path, I'll be ready to apply for uni in the new year!
2) Same as number one, but it's happening soon!
3) When I realized I didn't need my Advanced Functions class for the program I'm going into, I dropped it. But I did get my grade up before I dropped the class, so we can count this one as accomplished! YAY!
4) I changed my ballet variation after making this goal, but it's so much closer to perfection than my other variation would have been! So I'll count this'd as accomplished too!
5) I haven't had the time or money to start making jewelery yet, but I did make some accessories for some friends and secret Santa gifts, so this goal is like, half-accomplished!
6) If you follow my YouTube channel, you'll know that this goal hasn't been fulfilled yet!! ; ^ ;
7) I have been taking more pictures, which you will see in my next post (which will probably be up in the next day or two!). So here's another accomplished goal!
8) I did make a gingerbread house (pics coming soon!!) but no gingerbread men! :( Another goal half-accomplished!
9) I've been hanging ut lots with my sisters and family this holiday season, especially in the last few days! We're all getting very fat... =_____=;; lol
10) Did have a Christmas movie marathon with my sisters, and I'm currently planning my LoTR marathon for the New year, since I got the extended edition box set for Christmas! Woohoo! Accomplished!
11) I'm going to hang out with some friends in a few hours! So let's say this is accomplished! Haha
12) I've started putting some money away for both events, although its not much since I put a lot of my paychecks into buying awesome gifts for everyone this year! But this goal has been accomplished in my mind!
So although I didn't accomplish all of my goals, I do think I did pretty well considering I started pret late in 2011! Haha, but I feel pretty accomplished and proud of what I did get done! This list has been pretty good as a motivator for me. Now I really just need to apply for uni! Maybe I'll do that before I go out tonight... Hahaha!!
Now as far as resolutions, I don't usually do them. But I feel like what's the hurt in making some this year? So here are my resolutions for 2012!
- eat less McDonalds
- drink more water
- save more money
- be nicer to everyone
- get my iron levels up so I can donate blood
- blog more often!!!!
Let's hope I can keep up with those! They don't seem to hard, haha. But we'll see how that goes! Anyways, I'm about to finish getting ready for some parties tonight! So to all of my wonderful followers, a very Happy New Year to you! Let's all do our best in 2012!!
Happy New Year!!

12 by 2012 (A Project of Goals)
Hey everyone! So, I was just perusing my blog roll before I went to bed, when I came upon the always lovely Sara Mari's blog post about the 12 by 2012 Project! After reading her post, and the original post by Oh, Hello Friend, I decided I would take part in this project/meme!
![]() |
| banner from: oh, hello friend. |
I'll give you a brief summary of the project, but for a better description, definitely check out Oh, Hello Friend's post about the project! Basically, this project is a list of twelve things you want to accomplish before 2012 (so by December 31st, 2011 @ 11:59 PM). It's a great motivator to get things done, so I thought I would give it a go!
Here's my list of 12 before 2012:
- Apply to all my university choices (yikes!).
- Apply for university scholarships (more yikes!!).
- Get my Advanced Functions grade up (hopefully higher than 70!).
- Perfect my ballet variation en pointe.
- Start making jewelry & accessories (and hopefully selling it!).
- Film a new video for my Youtube Channel (doesn't matter what!).
- Take more pictures (of everything).
- Make a gingerbread house and an army of gingerbread men.
- Spend as much time as possible with my sisters during the Christmas holidays (and my family as well).
- Have a Christmas movie marathon. Or a Lord of the Rings movie marathon.
- Hang out with friends on New Year's Eve.
- Start saving money for prom dress/Anime North.
I feel like there's nothing very profound on my list, but there doesn't really have to be! Plus I got in the game a little late here, so I feel like this is a good list for me!
If you feel like joining this project, read about it on Oh, Hello Friend's post, and do it! It's a really great motivator, and I feel like more people should be doing things like this!

Daily Style: New boots!
I haven't done a daily style post in quite some time, but now that I have a new camera, I've been much more motivated to record my day-to-day casual outfits and post them! And I just recently got some new boots, which I've been absolutely in love with, and trying to coordinate as much as possible!
They are from the Simply Vera by Vera Wang line, which I purchased at Kohl's! I'd never really shopped at a Kohl's before this, and I was thoroughly impressed with the brands and prices they had available! I will definitely be shopping there again soon!! Now, onto the outfits!
Scarf: F21
Sweater: F21
Cords: F21
Boots: Simply Vera by Vera Wang
Bag: ALDO
Sweater: F21
Cords: F21
Boots: Simply Vera by Vera Wang
Bag: ALDO
Bought the scarf and cords recently as well! I've been on the hunt for really nice corduroy pants for a really long time, and I really love these ones! So comfy and a really nice colour too :3 This was just a simple outfit for school, but I really like it! :D
Cardigan: F21
Lace top: F21
Lace top: F21
Skirt: H&M
Boots: Simply Vera by Vera Wang
Boots: Simply Vera by Vera Wang
Wore this outfit on Remembrance day (as you can see from the poppy on the lapel of my sweater). Didn't really have any particular inspiration for this outfit, I was in a bit of a retro girly mood that morning I guess. Loved this outfit all the same!
I'm trying to post more often, but between school, having a weak immune system, and my new job, its been tough! Hopefully things will start to slow down a bit so I can blog more! There are still so many things I want to blog about!! ;_;
Until next time! :)
Until next time! :)

Youmacon 2011 (photo heavy!)
Hey guys! I'm actually being pretty punctual with my blog posts now, haha! So, as you all know, I went to Youmacon this Saturday! I went with two of my friends, and we had such a great time! Youmacon is definitely one of the smaller conventions, but it's gotten a lot bigger in recent years! Attendance last year was over 9000, I believe? Don't quote me on that, but it was quite a large group! And it definitely felt like there were more people there this year in comparison to last year. But anyways, lets get to the photos! I had my new camera with me, so the quality is quite nice too :D
First up are some pictures of the location!
First up are some pictures of the location!
The first two photos are of Windsor's skyline. Youmacon is in downtown Detroit at the Renaissance Centre, which is right on the Detroit River. And there's a large outdoor area that's right by the water, so you got a nice view of the city while you were there. The third pictures is of (me holding) the Rennaisance Centre! It's such a gorgeous building to hold a convention in, because the whole atrium of the building is glass so you get lots of natural light all day. It was especially nice for photos! The only thing is some of the areas of the RenCen are kind of smallish, so some events got a little crowded at times, but other than that, very nice! And the convention this year was so well organized, the crowding was hardly a bother!
This is a photo of the atrium from the third floor of the atrium. It's very open and a good area for meeting up with people or sitting and relaxing between panels, etc. There are also a lot of shops lining the atrium, where you can purchase food and drinks, as well as a food court further back on the first floor. Also, since this building is the GM building, the very centre houses a showroom of cars!! Which makes for some interesting photo ops, haha.
Now let's take a peek at some of my cosplay photos!

Halloween!
Hey everyone! So as promised, I am going to share some of my Spirit Week/Halloween photos with you guys! I meant to put them up sooner, but you know how life is sometimes. A pain in the butt. Anyways, here are some of the photos!

Personal Panda: Recent (& upcoming!) Events!
Hey everybody! So, I know I've been like, the slowest blogger ever recently, but hopefully everything will be going up from here!
The next couple of weeks I am VERY excited for, and for two reasons. Reason number one is that the upcoming week is SPIRIT WEEK at my school! Most schools will have a Spirit Day, but my school likes to go a little bit further than that and have full weeks of school spirit! And since this years first Spirit Week is leading up to Halloween day, this years themes are mostly Halloween themed! And I definitely plan on posting pictures of all my outfits for the next week!
The themes this year are: Black & Orange Monday, Vampire Tuesday, Witch & Wizard Wednesday, Super Sweet Thursday, and Zombie Friday! And then the following Monday is Halloween, so it will end with everyone wearing Halloween costumes!
The second reason why I'm so excited is because the next weekend is Youmacon! I'm so stoked, because I've been dying to cosplay for the last month or so, and now I basically get two weeks of cosplay, haha! I checked the guest list today to, and I'm very excited to see some of the guest this year! I really want to go and see Lemon Demon/Potter Puppet Pals this year, as I always seem to miss them when I go to Youmacon!
While I'm on the topic of Youmacon, lets talk cosplay! Youmacon is in less than two weeks, and I haven't started my cosplay. Ha. Haha. Orz. However, I did get my Luka wig delivered to me today, and I tried it on immediately!

| I look gross because I just got home from school ; ^ ; |
The lighting in this photo is subpar, but you get the idea. The wig is soooo soft and silky, and the bangs only need to be trimmed a little bit! It also came with a really good wig cap, so I'm super psyched. When I have my hands on a better camera, I'll take some better pictures of the wig and what not!
And the last note I'm going to post here is: I got a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise the lord, I'm actually going to be able to afford cosplay now! I start training next week, and will be working by early November! I'm so excited about this. Please wish me luck xD
And now I have to go work on a few assignments and projects and what not =____=;;
Until next post! :D

Personal Panda: 17 forever!
I'm a horrible blogger. I know.
But I celebrated my 17th birthday on Wednesday, and it was awesome! :D I'm getting a new camera from my parents, and I am extremely excited! The main reason why I haven't been blogging as much lately is that all my blog plans are for posting gets and coords, but I haven't had a camera to take pictures with!! And it's very frustrating, because I've had so much I want to show you guys and I haven't been able too! I also haven't found a good place to photograph my clothes yet, and its proving very difficult to do so in my attic room :S
But other than that, I've been quite busy with school recently, I actually just finished a project ten minutes ago xD Dance is being very taxing, a lot of hard work, and its very tiring. And I've been selected to do the annual tours to all the grade schools to talk about our expanded arts program, so now I have to choreograph a solo for that. Woo.
In other news, I had a preliminary job interview today! I was super excited, and I really hope I get called back for the second interview~ I need a job so badly ; ^ ; I am suffering!
On a cosplay note, I am ordering my Luka wig soon (I hope), and I'm on the hunt for silk flowers to use on the headpiece! Hopefully I'll have some progress pics to show off soon!
Anyways, I'm going to go play my new favourite game, Fiesta! It's a pretty good free MMORPG! I've been addicted to it the last week or so. Do any of you play Fiesta? If you do, and are playing on the Apoline server, let me know! I'm always looking for people to play with :D
Until next time, and hopefully with pictures~

Personal Panda: School is...
Absolutely ridiculous. Totally awesome, but just so busy! I'm into my second week of grade 12, and it's been really hectic! I've mostly been busy with dance, since the grade 12's are in charge of presenting the semester 1 show! And we've been doing our back to school dance boot camp, and I can honestly say that I've been too sore to blog. As lame as that sounds, it's true. But the last couple days I've been doing techie work, so I was feeling good today! Just really sleepy, since my classes start at 7:40 AM everyday ; ^ ;
Also, I've been meaning to take pictures of my outfits for school and what not, but I keep forgetting! I always want to use the DSLR, but I don't have my tripod, and my cell phone camera is just so... cell phone-y. How do you guys feel about me using my cell phone to take pictures? I really have been loving all my outfits recently, and I want to share them, so I might just do it anyways! So hopefully expect to see some OOTD shots soon ^^
On a fashion-y note, I will be doing a Fall gets post relatively soon, I just need to gather all my clothes! They are spread at two houses right now, so once I can get them all in one place, I will get on that! I've gotten lots of nice Fall colours in my wardrobe, which makes me really happy! And lots of cute dresses :3
And on a cosplay note, I have decided to cosplay as Luka Megurine, Just Be Friends version for my next upcoming convention (Youmacon)! I plan on starting work on it soon, so I will try and be a good cosplayer and upload lots of progress pictures. Its not a very difficult outfit to make, but I want to show my progress anyways! I'm really excited to make the flowered hairpiece <3 I might use that as part of my Halloween costume too? But haven't really decided yet xD
And big note to lovers of Murua and Forever 21! I caught this photo on Sara Mari's tumblr of the Murua stripe pencil skirt, by F21! Is that a replica or what?

I think though, if I see it in store, I will probably buy it, even though it is such an obvious replica. But keep your eyes peeled for it!
Anyways, I have to go start working on some choreography for my class piece! I'm planning a contemporary dance, and I will hopefully upload some progress videos from that too!
Until next time! Have a great day!!

Fall Inspiration & Wishlist (+ back to school!!)
Hey everyone! So I keep forgetting to put the rest of my Las Vegas photos on my computer, so that post will probably be on hold for a little bit. But it will be coming soon!
Anyways, I did my post about Fall Trends a few weeks back, but I didn't really specify what I would be buying and fawning over this Fall! A few other bloggers have been doing this (Mitsu of Universal Doll for one!), and I decided to jump on the bandwagon! First though, some of my inspirations this Fall.
Momoko Ogihara
Let's be honest here, who isn't inspired by Momoko? Leading force behind Murua, I love all of her coordinates! They are all so classy but fun at the same time. That Murua pencil skirt is to die for! Although her coordinates are always attention grabbing, they always looks fab.
Dazzlin' shop staff.
I'm really inspired by all things Dazzlin', but their shop staff are really what inspires me! They really know the clothes and their coordinates are always perfect! I really love all of Dazzlin' A/W clothing, and the shop staff just pull it off so well! It all looks so classic and cute, and just so nice for Fall!
Bebe Zeva
My last inspiration for Fall is Bebe Zeva, from Fated To Be Hated. She has so many awesome and quirky coordinates (I found her on Lookbook, by the way), and they all are so unique! She has really inspired me to be more original in my style and make things more my own. And she is just absolutely GORGEOUS. I have a massive girl crush on her as of today, just FYI. Definitely check out her blog and her Lookbook for coordinates, because they are fawesome.

Today Was The Best Day EVER.
You wanna know why!? Because I am in Las Vegas, I ate the best tuna ever, I bought an awesome head band, AND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
.
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
I BOUGHT JEFFERY CAMPBELL "LITA"s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for crap photos, lighting in hotel room is sucky!!
They are honestly the coolest shoe I have ever had the honour of owning. Seriously. I was passing by a shoe store in the Planet Hollywood shops, and these immediately jumped out at me! I was so psyched to see JC's IN THE FLESH, and be able to covet them like I have always wanted to!
And honestly, these shoes are so comfortable and easy to wear! Even though they are so high (5" heel with 2" platform!), they are very easy to walk in, and just so awesome. I had the best time watching people stare at them all night when we were out for dinner ;D
Speaking of dinner, I had the most delicious food today at Emeril Lagasse's restaurant at the MGM Grand, and I ate Red Chile Crusted Ahi Tuna over Pineapple & Coconut rice with tempura Bok Choy and Dark Rum Syrup. Long name, I know. BUT IT WAS SO DELICIOUS.
(I had already eaten some of this when I took the picture... I'M SUCH A BAD BLOGGER D:)
I was kind of worried when I saw the fish and it was so rare! But it was PERFECT. The tuna was sooooo silky and tender and buttery! It all but melted in your mouth! And the rice was really sweet and yummy <3 I just want to eat it all the time!!
Anyways, its getting pretty late here and I must be going to bed! I'm going to do a full Vegas post probably when I get home, so please look forward to it!
Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful day!! :D

Fall Trends!
OMG, an actual post from PandaLogic?! YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING!
Naw, I'm not kidding! I finally am getting around to some actual fashion posts on this here blog! And today I'm tackling the ever popular topic of FALL TRENDS! Yessir, it's time! As much as I love seeing Fall clothing, it also makes me sad because that means my summer is pretty much over and its time to head back to school ;___; But the clothes kind of make up for that!
So in this post, I'm going to tackle trending colours, patterns, styles, and key pieces! So lets get right to it!

Cosplay Conundrum!
Hey guys! So, since I've decided to integrate more of my cosplay life into this blog, I want to get some input from some of you guys on what my next cosplay should be!
My next convention is Youmacon, which takes place in early November (click here for their website). It's a smaller convention, and still pretty young, but its close to me and still lots of fun! And who am I to deny myself a reason to cosplay?
Anyways, so today I'd like to ask you a question: who should I cosplay!?
I have two options that I was thinking of doing for this convention, which are:

Luka Megurine, from Vocaloid!
OR
Nanami Haruka, from Uta no Prince-sama!
I really like both characters, and their outfits, but I'm having a hard time choosing which one to cosplay! So I turn to you, my faithful blog readers, to help me choose my cosplay for Youmacon! Let me know what you think in the comments down below!
Thanks, and have a wonderful day!

Summer Hair Tutorial!
Hey guys! So, I FINALLY got all my footage for my hair tutorial video to work, so it has finally been uploaded! It took me a while, but its up and ready to be watched!
Here are some camwhore shots I took afterwards.
(just FYI, I love my side profile ^^;;)
I sort of better detail shot of my all time favourite necklace!
New nail colour, SEPHORA by OPI, in "Natural Environ-mint". Super nice, definite recommend!
Simple eye make of the day + one of my fave sets of lenses! ^^
As for a general life update, I've been traveling a lot this summer, and I'm actually leaving on another trip this Sunday to Las Vegas! Many pictures to come, I can assure you! I also want to do a post of all my recent gets, but that may have to wait?
Anyways, thank you so much for reading and watching, and have a wonderful day :D

FB Fan Page!
Hey everyone! Quick post before I hit the hay, real post hopefully coming tomorrow! Anyways, last night my friend Ringo (go follow her new blog :D) coerced me into making a Facebook fan page with her, so I did! I feel kind of pretentious making a fan page for myself, but I guess there's no harm in it really xD
So, if you're on Facebook and you're a fan of my blog (and soon to be Youtube channel), please come and like my page! Thanks so much, and have a great day :D

Vlog Channel!
Hey everybody! So, a very important announcement today! I FINALLY got around to making myself a YouTube account for vlogging and tutorials! Of course, this meant that I was filming my go-to Summer hairstyle tutorial today, however when I went to edit it, all of the footage was corrupted! So I'm going to have to go back and film it again later this week (´;ω;`)

Fairy Drops!
Hello everybody! Today I am doing a non-sponsored review of the hit mascara FAIRY DROPS 'Scandal Queen'! I've been hearing lots of great things about this mascara so I decided to give it a try since it is now available at Sephora! Here is the description of the mascara given by the people at Sephora:
"This do-it-all mascara is blended with fiber to give you lush, doll-like lashes. The unique brush catches even the tiniest lashes, defines, lengthens, and provides all-day curl.
FAIRYDROPS mascara was created by Japanese TV personality Aya Yasuda. Realizing that the eyes are the secret to making a great impression, she was inspired to create a new mascara wand that is now patented in Japan. The Scandal Queen formula is available exclusively in the U.S."

Daily Style: Let's catch up!
Hey everyone! So I'm about half way through my summer break now (IT GOES BY SO FAST D:), and currently vacationing at my grandparents house in New Brunswick! It's so lovely here, compared to the heat waves in Southern Ontario where I'm from :( But I digress!
So, as of very recently, I've noticed a change in my style. And I've decided I no longer have the right to call my self a gyaru. Maybe gyaru inspired, but I'm no longer gyaru. I rarely wear my lashes or do up my hair, and even if I do, its hardly up to par with other gyaru. So I've officially un-labelled myself as a gyaru. My style is more gyaru inspired than anything else. And that will also be the direction this blog goes in as well. I will still be posting about gyaru fashion, etc, but I will also be talking about more of my personal life and other things I do, like dance and cosplay, since they are also a big part of my life. I thank each and every one of you for staying with me as long as you have!
Anyways, here are some pictures of my style as of the last month or so!
So, as of very recently, I've noticed a change in my style. And I've decided I no longer have the right to call my self a gyaru. Maybe gyaru inspired, but I'm no longer gyaru. I rarely wear my lashes or do up my hair, and even if I do, its hardly up to par with other gyaru. So I've officially un-labelled myself as a gyaru. My style is more gyaru inspired than anything else. And that will also be the direction this blog goes in as well. I will still be posting about gyaru fashion, etc, but I will also be talking about more of my personal life and other things I do, like dance and cosplay, since they are also a big part of my life. I thank each and every one of you for staying with me as long as you have!

My mermaid hair style! I finally got around to actually styling my hair, and quite liked the result!

New Comment System!
Hey everyone! So, today I was fiddling around with a new comment system to make it easier for me to reply to your comments and have you actually be aware that I am replying to them, but I didn't realize that it would delete all the comments that were on posts already! So, that's a little sucky. But I'm hoping this system will work better and make the experience on my blog a lot better as a whole!
So for the next little while if the commenting is a little wonky, it's because I'm fiddling with it and trying to get it to work on here!
Thanks for reading!
EDIT: Thank you to emi for pointing out that I could import my comments back!! :D

Personal Panda: Almost done!
Hey everyone! So, in just a few more days, my hiatus will officially be over! WOO! I had my Chemistry exam today, and I totally aced it! So I'm allowing myself to blog a little bit before I return to studying for my Physics exam, which I am fairly certain I am not going to do very well on (´;ω;`)
I finally got a new cellphone, and it actually takes quite nice photos! So I can take photos on the go now, which I find to be very convenient! Here's a collection of snaps from the last few weeks that I have been on hiatus:
I finally got a new cellphone, and it actually takes quite nice photos! So I can take photos on the go now, which I find to be very convenient! Here's a collection of snaps from the last few weeks that I have been on hiatus:
Wearing new Bambi Apple Green lenses in the first photo, review coming soon! And a dress I wore my sisters birthday. The makeup in the first photo is pretty much what I've been doing everyday for the last little while.
Bought a really comfy cotton romper! Also, my school has been extraordinarily hot the last few weeks, sometimes reaching 40 degrees Celsius INDOORS!! So I've become quite attached to that top-knot hairstyle for the especially hot days. I also purchased a FANTASTIC coral lipstick (worn in second photo), and I want to do a whole post on it! I will try :D
It was finally nice enough to go out on my dad's boat a few weekends ago, it was very nice! I am a very good boat driver ヽ(´▽`)/ I also had a bonfire with some friends, we made s'mores and it was really fun! I love having bonfires in the summer, it's by far one of my most favourite things to do.
The previous photos are the two ways I spend time in during study periods: sleeping, and making paper crane farms! I know, very productive, right? You'll be glad to know that I rocked the exam for the class I was sleeping in, hahaha!
Anyways, that's all the photos I have for today! But I am changing my hair colour next week, so please look forward to it! I won't be revealing the colour yet, as I myself don't even know what I'm doing with it, but the appointment is booked, so it's happening! I honestly have more roots than a tree right now =_______=;;
Thanks so much for sticking with me through this hiatus, I very much appreciate it! Until next post! <3

Anime North 2011 + Announcement
Hey all! So this last weekend, I attended one of my all time favourite conventions ever: Anime North! It's located in Toronto, and its one of the biggest in Canada. I went with a few of my friends this year, and we had a blast! As I mentioned in one of my last posts, I do cosplay at these events, and I thought I would share some photos with you today!
If you're unsure of what cosplay is, click here to read the Wiki page!
Anyways, this year I cosplayed from the series Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt! It's a relatively new series, and in essence it is basically perverted Powerpuff Girls. It's actually very funny! I cosplayed as the character Panty!

May/June Favourite Coordinates!
Hey everyone! So, I know the going has been a little slow around here recently, and I feel really bad about it. I am not used to having 4 academic classes in one semester (plus a dance class), so I have quite a heavy work load to deal with. Especially since its only 30 days to exams, and I have all my final projects to think about. But rest assured, I'm still thinking about this blog!
Anyways, I FINALLY got back on track with my usual mags that I download, and I have been ignoring them far too long! So many great outfits and trends. So today, here's a selection of coordinates from a few June issues of magazines, and one May issue. Enjoy! (If you click on the photos, you can view them full-size)

I still need to film/photograph my Spring makeup tutorial, though at this point I might make it a Summer makeup tutorial, eheh. Anyways, that will hopefully be up soon!
Also, while I'm thinking about this, are any of my readers on here cosplayers? I don't know if I've ever mentioned it before, but I cosplay myself, and I'm currently getting ready for my biggest cosplay event of the year (in 17 days!).
Until next time!
