Today and thoughts

 It’s Friday yaaaaaas

Todays co*de is a little inspired by suzu but also what I thought would look cute together. I tried two buns as well which turned out kinda messy but with the curls it looks cute.

Sweater: Ank rouge

Jacket: Redcorner

Skirt: Urban Outfitters

Shoes: Kangaroos

As long as my hair has this lenght I should do more updos cuz the next time I’m probably gonna let it be cut onto chin length. I’m actually very lucky since my boyfriend’s mom is a hairdresser *-* 

I made some ramen for lunch! Well… I put some random things together that I had at home. I used white rice noodles. It was really delicious nontheless. And I used my cute san-x and sanrio chopsticks and spoon <3

My two mags arrived in the mail as well yaaaayyy. Sadly in the popteen something has been cut out which wasn’t addressed by the buyer… at least the ranzuki was fine!

Something else I wanted to talk about is social media and how I feel about it nowadays. The biggest issue is the unnecessary amount of time I spent on apps like tiktok and Instagram. I’ve never been a big fan of tiktok. I did upload for some time but I honestly never felt that comfortable with uploading there. It really bothers me to see all this misinfo about gal. It feels like some ppl wear it like some kind of cosplay. They wear coords that show a stereotypical picture of some substyles. Not like an everyday outfit but like a costume. What i would love to see is inspo I can get, but tbh the best place I get inspo from are magazines and japanese and gaijin gals blogs. I deleted tiktok a while ago. Yesterday I also deleted Instagram. I tried finding a way of only consuming content that I liked and inspired me by putting acc’s I liked into the “favorites” section. I still ended up watching alot of content in my feed, which in the last weeks, turned into more and more disturbing content that I couldn’t get to go. No matter how many times I chose “not interested” disturbing content kept being recommended. So I decided to finally delete the app. 

And I feel relieved. Social media makes me sick. I need a break. I want to focus more on real life, on reading, on finding my style by looking at things that REALLY inspire me <3

Something I noticed as well (and this might be an unpopular opinion) is the amout of gaijin gals that wear really ott styles. Which is great. I love ott styles as well but it seems like that it’s beginning to get the standard of being gyaru. It’s not possible for some people to maintain an ott look all the time. And not only the possibility but also the want to do it matters. I like casual styles. I love seeing others in hime or yamanba but I don’t think it should be considered a standard. If I think about japanese heisei gals I have alot in mind that dressed really casual. 

Let me know what you guys think about it!

Liz Lisa dress arrived

 The dress I’ve got of off vinted arrived! Yaaayy

It’s so stunning!!! I also got another LL blouse some time ago but I still wanted to show its since its super pretty

I’m really glad that I found a brown (okay this one is more redish brown) based LL piece since they seem to be sold lesser and if with horrendous prices. 

Now that I actually own quite a lot specific himekaji looking pieces I realized that it’s time to focus more on accessories. I was always keeping an eye on Liz Lisa or items that really said “himekaji” which is fine. I do wear himekaji most of the time and now that I have a little collection of brand It’s time to look out on more basics. I also really like casual styles in general or not wearing a specific substyle at all. Same goes for Amekaji. I looked through Nana Suzukis Blog and got suuuper inspired. I love the way she put so many basic items into really cute looking and casual amekaji co*des. 

I thought about some must haves that I really want to get in the next time:

- brown fur vest

- short jean overalls/dungarees

-cowboy boots

- lace shorts as safety pants

-simple black see-through tights

-glasses (not a piece of clothing but desperately need new glasses)

I also started sewing a skirt yesterday. I had an ruffle design in mind. We’ll see how it turns out XD. I’m not a pro when it comes to sewing clothes since I used to work as an upholsterer and room decorator. We sewed alot of curtains and stuff for chairs and Sofas, so clothes wasn’t my area of ​​expertise. I’m gonna update the result on here. This is the fabric I’m gonna be using:

Bye for now <3

 

It’s Monday

Happy Monday everyone! Today it was a cleaning day for me. I did some laundry and cleaned the piggies cage. They’re always super happy when their cage is clean and free from their poopies XD

My sweet baby Dipsy

I’m actually struggling with my hair for a while now. They’ve been super damaged since my last time bleaching them so I decided to let my natural hair grow out again. That obviously takes time but I couldn’t deal with that spaghetti hair anymore. It also really damaged my natural curl pattern and thats super sad. I decided to give my blonde hair a tint to match my natural roots. Once its grown out I really wanna try getting some blonde highlights. I think its a lot less damaging. I also decided to stop straightening my hair for a while and try to bring my curls back with that. 

At the moment my hair looks like this:

I’m not that happy with it to be honest. I also don’t know which products to use to make my curls look more defined. I’m already using curling cream and hair oil but I doesn’t seem to help. I think I just have to give it some time. 

I’m also desperately waiting for some things I’ve bought to arrive. I’ve found two magazines on ebay that didn’t have insane shipping prices so I had to get them! Also a liz lisa dress I’ve got of off vinted. Can’t wait till they arrive.
