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!

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

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)

 Jelly

 PopSister

 Popteen

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!

Hello everybody! So I feel like I've been making a lot of these review posts for circle lenses, but I will hopefully have my next real post up soon. Today I am reviewing the GEO WT-A5 series in Brown!

Princess Camera!

Hey everybody! So, quick post today about this really cute App I found for the iPhone/iPod touch! It's called Princess Camera!

Thats what the app looks like!

It's a really cute "purikura" app that you can use, with or without a camera on your iPod/iPhone. Here's some of the features that it advertises. 

So basically, it allows you to lighten your photos, decorate them and exchange them with your friends! It's a very fun App, and only costs $2.99! A cheap price for such a fun little App! Anyways, heres an example of what it can do :)

Before,

and After!

It's really fun to play around with, and definitely worth a try! I hope you enjoy it :) I've only had it for about ten minutes and I've been playing with it non-stop!! Have fun :D

Hello everyone! Today's post is another sponsored review for mukuCHU Circle Lenses! The lenses that I received for this review were the GEO WT-A6 series in Blue!

S/S Trending: Retro Girly!

(Dazzlin', Tsubasa, ???, Minirdees)

Retro Girly! The infamous trend for Spring/Summer! I have got to tell you, I love this trend. Definitely an easy transition from last years Western S/S trends, combining lots of florals and simple patterns into one super sweet style! Today I'm going to be covering the basic stylistic points of Retro Girly, different brands, and some of my favourite coordinates showing the style. So let's get right into it!

New York City (photos + daily style + gets!)

Hey everyone! First of all, Happy (belated) St. Patricks Day! I was going to post that yesterday, but I was pretty busy getting ready for festivities. Secondly, I am back from my trip to New York City! If you've never been to NYC, you need to go. Everything is awesome there. This was my first trip to New York, and it definitely won't be my last :D

I did way more shopping than I should have while I was there, but honestly, how could I not. The shopping in NYC is some of the best I've ever seen. I went to 4 different F21s, and 2 H&Ms! It was soo nice! But anyways, lets start with some pictures of my trip~

(view from above the clouds on the morning of our departure - SO PRETTY)

Mode Gal: Spring/Summer

Hey everyone! So, today's post is about Mode Gal looks for Spring and Summer 2011, as predicted by the two  major Mode fashion houses: Murua and Emoda! :D I'll mostly be showing catalog shots and choice items from these two brands S/S lines today, so please enjoy!

Daily Style: Semi-formal!

Hello everyone! I'm quite out of sorts today, for multiple reasons. Firstly, it started snowing again after like, 4 days of no more snow!! And secondly, last night was my semi-formal, of which I am very fond! It's basically like a junior prom thing, for those of you who don't know.

They theme this year was Candyland, But I don't know how well I pulled off the theme?

(Me (left), and my cousin Leah)

Since the theme was Candyland, we kind of tried to match our dresses to candies. I said I would probably be candy hearts since the pattern on my dress is hearts, and Leah was candy canes or peppermints. Both dresses are mine, the one I'm wearing is from H&M (plus matching scarf) and the one Leah is wearing is from ModCloth.

Popsister February Review

Hey everyone! So, I've been bad recently. I haven't really been doing much other than playing Sims 3 (argh!) the last week or so, and I've been busy with end of term projects and our next upcoming show for dance. I also am helping run auditions for my schools dance program. But since it's basically a blizzard outside, me and my mom can't go see Black Swan, so I figured now is the perfect time to do a little blogging!

So today I wanted to do a bit of a review of the Popsister February 2011 issue! If you like more of a casual style, Popsister is perfect for you. It's now one of my favourite magazines, plus has lots of my favourite ex-Popteen models!! (Wei Son FTW!)

Jun Komori and Tsubasa Masuwaka both have super cute outfits going on here. I absolutely LOVE that polka dot sweater!!

A/W with: Winter Gear!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful. Or it very soon will be. So, as a cap off to my A/W posts, I decided to make a post about winter gear for the LUCKY gals who live in colder climates. I myself have to deal with good old Canadian winter, and would like to do so in a fashionable manner.

So in today's post, I'm going to be looking at the cutest, coolest, and most fashionable Winter gear I can find on the internet! 

Miss Wakatsuki is only half-way there!

Daily Style: Grey Gyaru

Hello all. I'm so sorry that I'm boring. I know you've heard it enough times already, but I am a busy person. I am trying as hard as possible to work on blog posts in addition to school! I will hopefully have my next gyaru post up in a few days. But today, I'm going to show you some of my daily style from recent days.

I don't know why, but right now I am obsessed with grey clothing. I am getting to be incredibly lazy with my clothing, and I don't feel like matching things, so I buy all clothes that match each other. And right now, it's all grey and black. So let's take a peak at some Grey gyaru!

(herp derp)

A/W with: LIZ LISA (+ a question, my new hair, & more)

Hey everybody! So I'm being stupidly slow with updating, and I truly feel horrible about it, but life is so busy right now! Between choreographing dances, rehearsing, media assignments, and other life issues, I barely have any time to work on my posts before I pass out for bed. I'm also planning on applying for jobs soon, so that will probably cut down my blogging too. But I hope ya'll don't get too bored with me! I'm also working on getting my student Wi-fi at school to work again so I can start working on posts at school too.

Anyways, this post I'm continuing with my A/W series, this time focusing on sweet Liz Lisa! I am not the biggest Liz Lisa fan, but I love how they have been taking trends from this season and combining it with their traditional looks to make a very cohesive line. They don't follow every trend down to the last detail, but they use the trends in their own ways. It's really very cool!

But enough of my blabbering. Onto the clothes!

A/W with: MURUA

Hello everyone! Today I'm continuing with my A/W series, and bringing to the table: MURUA! Murua is such an awesome brand, even if you don't really like Mode. Everything is so gorgeous and lavish, and is a very cohesive brand. You'll find that everything from Murua goes with each other perfectly! So without further ado, let's get into Murua!

A/W with: WC

It's time to get back into my A/W posts! Today we are hanging out with WC and their Fall collections! So let's cut the chatter and dive right into it!

A/W with: EGOIST

Hey everyone! So, I decided that since we are now really getting into the Fall seasons, I would do some more in depth coverage of different brands looks for the season. And this is the first part! Just a little while ago I downloaded the October issue of JELLY, and only a couple pages in I HAD to stop. I was like, whoa. Egoist!

HOLY MOTHER OF HOTNESS.

I've never really been a huge fan of Egoist, it's been just another brand to me. But this A/W, I am SO in love! So as a start to my A/W with: _________ series, we'll be going to Egoist for their Fall looks!

A/W Gets & Daily Style

Hey everyone! So as I said, I'm making another shopping post, because I love to share what I bought with everyone! I kept meaning to do this sooner, but I'm so lazy recently. Five days a week, I start my day with two and a half hours of dance straight, and it gets me real tired. Plus, the allergies are acting up, but I digress!

Every time I go to the mall these days, I find something new I want to buy! Speaking of which, I found the awesome leopard cardigan that Morimayu is wearing in this code picture:

Anyways, its from H&M, and I want it sooo much! I plan on buying it next time I'm there, possibly in two colours! Anyways, on to what I HAVE actually boughten the last couple of weeks!

A/W Trends: Final Part

Hey guys! So this may be my last post for a little while, since I start school on Tuesday and am going to be getting pretty busy. But I'll try and keep up to date as much as possible. I went shopping, and got some more cute stuff, so I might do a shopping post soon, but that will definitely come later.

Today I wanted to do the last part of my A/W Trend series, which is covering how individual brands interpret this seasons plethora of trends. I'm going to try and keep my spectrum as wide as possible, but if I miss out on your favourite brand, I'm really sorry!
