Daily Style

Hey guys! And it's been HOW MANY days since I last posted? Sorry about that. For those of you who care, I'm in my schools fashion show, and I've had rehearsals every night this week, and quite a few last week as well, most of them going til 7 or 9 pm. Needless to say, I've been busy.

But anyways, I AM working on an actual post that is about Gyaru style, and if I get all my end of semester assignments done ASAP, I'll have more time to work on it this weekend.

But right now I wanted to show you a snap of an outfit I wore to a family gathering, which I ALSO submitted to Eleanorzine, where I was offered to be shown in her Gal issue!

Blog update

Hey guys! Quick note for those of you that may be confused when you see half of a post disappear on the main page of my blog. I'm currently in the process of adding jumpcuts to all my exceedingly long blog posts, so that they don't take up as much space on my page!

So please bear with me while I work on this! I'm doing this so that it's easier to find older posts without having to scroll through whole gargantuan walls of text.

I should be done soon, and after that I have a new post in the works!

Until then, look forward to it!

Gyaru Trends


Hey guys! Quick little post about what's currently really trendy with the Gals in Shibuya. I reblogged this video on Tumblr, and I thought it was really cool to get some insight on to what the real Gals on the streets were wearing and what they are loving this season.


What I have deciphered from this video (I don't understand a word of it except for 'usamimi', 'can-can', 'Mickey' and 'Kitty'), are what the most trendy things are right now with the Shibuya gals!

3. Usamimi Hair Bands


2. Character Goods


1. Can Can Hats


Also mentioned is 'freckled' make up & dungaree shirts, but I can't really make out much more from it. Sometimes I wish I could understand Japanese.


(min plume staff-chan sporting freckle makeup! Cute!)

Anyways, I hope everyone has a wonderful day/evening, and until next post, stay fabulous!

Dressing Your Body: Gyaru Style


Hey guys! So, I got a request on my Formspring to do a post about dressing larger bodies correctly. And this really sparked my interest, because as we all know, almost every Gal model is absolutely tiny, and that's just not the case for the majority of people. So the people that are NOT stick thin and 5'2", what help are they getting from Gal mags? Not too much.

So, today I'm going to talk about how to dress your body the right way, focusing on larger body types.

Now, I'm going to break it up into three categories: Top Heavy (broad shoulders, large chest, bigger waist, thin legs), Bottom Heavy (small shoulders, small chest, smaller waist, bigger hips and legs), and Combination (top and bottom heavy). This way the analysis can be more tailored to your body type.

It can be hard to dress a larger body, especially in the world of Gal fashion where they rely on short skirts and embellished tops. But this can be worked around. So, let's get started!

Daily Style: Birthday Outfit


Hey guys! So, this past Thursday was my good friend Rosalie's birthday, and tonight was her surprise 16th birthday party! It was held at one of my favourite local Italian restaurants, and it was really fun. She was so surprised! It was cute, aha. And there was a live Jazz band, who serenaded her and sang her 'Happy Birthday'! Afterwards, we dropped off our friend Andrew at his friend's house, and went back to Rosalie's to party!

Anyways, this was my outfit for the night!
