GIRL'S DAY Yura Blonde Hair - Kpop Blondes!

Just read something about this. I thought her hair looked cute blonde (although I do have a thing about people with naturally black hair leaving it dark - because it's beautiful dark) ut anyway, it makes her look unusual and cool, it's a shade of blonde I haven't seen much of - it looks quite clean....it's nice.





I looooooooove this hairstyle....

Then I found A Pink's Eunji, (I don't know much about k-pop, so this is all quite new to me!) and she has very cute hair too....




Just wanted to include some pictures of CL from 2NE1 as I really love her whole look and general being alive.




Dara Blonde?.........Hmm


That's all for now! Go Blonde!!!...Or not.

Braided Hair/More Hair Scans!

Just some more cute hair scans, I found some braided styles but it's a hard task!.. Mostly from Popteen, I think!






CUTE and CHEAP Japanese Online Fashion Site Links!

I just got back from Osaka and I was obsessed with the amount of amazing fashion (especially coats and jackets) while I was there. I geekily wrote down the names of all the stores I visited.. but was watching my money too much to buy anything at the time. But, with the help of a Japanese friend who knows what kind of clothes I like, I have come up with a little list of nice, and CHEAP Japanese fashion sites.

Infamous hime looking shoes ..cute handbag too^^


I know many many people look for shops like this every day, and when I first became interested in Japanese fashion (and before I could speak, read and write Japanese) I found this search very hard, if not impossible. Tip - If you open these sites in Chrome it should translate them for you.

1. http://www.yesstyle.com/en/home.html
This is a very English friendly site, with Korean Chinese and Japanese fashion. Very fast shipping and really high quality with a masssssive selection.


2. http://www.dreamvs.jp/pc/
One of my personal favourites, this site has loads of REALLY cheap stuff, little gyaru/cute styling, and they sell Body Fantasies body sprays which I love, as well as some really cute and cheap nail accessories and sleepwear. Definitely worth checking out.


3. http://www.dena-ec.com/
Cute, simple fashion, accessories and lifestyle products.
Nice outfit idea....

4. http://www.newyorkparty.co.jp/
This site is my number 1. The fashion is super cute, everything I'm looking for in clothing. A mix of rock, gyaru, girly and just average fashion, it's all priced fairly and has nice promotions and events happening on the site too. Be quick, things sell out really fast.
Very cute coat!! Sold out :( Give!


5. http://www.e-salus.jp/?R=%2F%23%2F
Again, cute, high quality simple fashion. Perfect for basics and staple pieces.
I'm gonna buy them all!


I will add to this list as I go but I'm pretty sure this is enough for now! Happy shopping! xx

ギャル Hairstyles//Gyaru hair

I've recently been thinking of having bangs cut, I already have long bangs, but I mean Tsubasa style bangs. Straight. But I'm really 50/50 on it. Anyway, I've been looking at images of hair all day so just thought I would post some cute ones.. and maybe I'll look at 'bang extensions'. Or just have a trim.......

Pointy Heart Nail Inspiration

I have always loved this style of nails, but never had it done with fear of poking my own eyeball out. Finally, I have decided, for my birthday in a couple of weeks, I will try it out. Here's some nice ideas if you are also thinking about getting a manicure like this.

浜崎あゆみ ❤ Hamasaki Ayumi // Japanese Nail Art

She's pretty famous, so you have probably heard of her if you like Japanese culture at all. She's my current obsession, though - I know I'm a bit late. She's my obsession because of her nail art book Ayu Heart Nail Book, I'm going to see if I can get a copy of it that isn't through-the-roof expensive because it's imported. I've been searching high and low for high quality scans from the book, but its a bit of a mission impossible situation. Anyway, I'm just going to post some nice pictures of Ayumi because.. well, just because!

Skin mal:gem review - Toner/Emulsion


Skin Mal:gem

Etude House have so many cleansers, toners, cleansers etc, it’s hard to decide what to buy, so I went with the consumers favourite, Skin Mal:gem. I was really torn between this and the baking soda products, but I wanted something gentle.
I have been using Wonder Pore products, which are really amazing, but as the weather is really harsh at the moment, I wanted to use something really moisturising.

Toner:

I chose the ‘Fresh’ toner, it claims to help excessive oil production and keep pores tight and skin feeling smooth and fresh, without over-dying. My skin feels pretty tight after using it, but it does feel very clean, and after a few weeks of use, my skin does feel a little bit less oil. It’s definitely nice and clear. It also doesn’t string when I apply it, which I get from most toners. It has a very fresh and fruity scent; it smells all natural.

Moisturiser (Emulsion):

The emulsion is really, really nice. It’s very pure, and almost watery. It does not leave your skin sticky, so you can apply your primer and BB over this once you have left it to absorb into your skin for a minute or two. It has really helped improve my skin quality, and has even (almost) completely abolished a small frown line I had in-between my eyebrows. I love this product and I will continue to use it.

Shinee's picture for skin mal:gem! ><


Both the toner and the emulsion can be used in small amounts, so it seems they are really long-lasting. They are also great value for money (both items cost me around £12 on eBay.)
