Hello!

I wanted to share some recent "gets" with you! As I'm lazy and can't be bothered to take photos on my phone, here are some brilliant stock photos for your enjoyment :D

1: TOPSHOP Acid Wash Denim Hotpants
Lalalalalalalalove these, they are comfy and my butt hands out of them~~<3 p="">

2: TOPSHOP Bleach Denim Dungarees

I look like the cutest farm-hand ever in these. I used to wear Dungarees all the time when I was a kid, and essentially, I'm still a kid, so these are perfect for me

3: New Look Leopard Print Cabin Bag
My friend Maria from work has this bag and for months I've been like "Damn, I'm getting that bag" and the stores near me never have it, and it's ridiculously hard to find online (does not come up when you search for "leopard" or in the Bags section...wtf)

4: TOPSHOP Leopard Print Leggings
After seeing so many people that I work with wearing these leggings, I had to hunt them down (they're from last year/the year before) and so I found some (in pristine condition) on eBay for about £6. Sorted

5: Primark Mens "NY LA" and Sugar Skull Tees

MENS STUFF AGAIN OMG. Because I like the designs. And plus, this girl also has the skull tee :D I'll probably do some cutting on the tops, purely because I want them to look slightly different. The "NY LA" one was reduced, and I think I'll turn it into a vest, and possibly make the skull one off the shoulder. WHO KNOWS.

Noticed how these "gets" aren't anything to do with my "wants" from last week? That's because I haven't gotten around to ordering them just yet :) Pretty much all the items (except the lipstick) are online and I haven't seen them in my store or a store near me yet. The lipstick came into my store and I was actually really disappointed, and it is now OFF the list! In the photo it looks like more of a "bubblegum" purple colour but irl it's more of a darker purple. NOT what I wanted. Damn.

As well as spending money and not paying my rent again, I went to a potential room viewing today which went super fantastically well, and I would quite like to possibly say yes. YAY.

I'll leave you with a great song from BoA! A dance I totally want to learn:

when you wish upon a star

Hi guys! How are you all doing?

The weather is crazy here! Yesterday was kinda hot and dry and today was full on heavy rain! But at least it wasn't freezing cold at the same time. I should probably buy some rain-friendly shoes to wear..considering I live in rainy Britain, you'd think i'd have done this by now, right? Nope :D I wear the most impractical shoes ever!

Anyway, here's what's on my mind at the moment! I kind of have a mini wishlist going on inside my head, and wanted to share it with you, as they're fun, and seeing what people want can be interesting~

Lilac playsuit, Cyberdog. £55

Okay, so it's something from my work, BUT, it's damn cute!! I kind of need to justify being able to spend the money and actually wearing the item too, as I feel if I wear it just at work then it kind of defeats the point! I have this in Black and I love it, and I tried on the Lilac version today and thought it was cute! But it's still something I need to think wisely about >.

d.i.a.!!! It's my favourite JP brand, but I definitely don't have enough! I want some damaged jeans so badly, and of course, some of their spring/summer tops! Wish I could still afford to order lots of clothes overseas! 

Classy nails! At least I can have them for my job, which is no problem. I want a set done this month but I wonder if I can afford it...hmmmm! I can always do them myself, but there's always the satisfaction when someone does them for you lol!

Wedges! They're really on-trend right now and I want in on the action!

6%dokidoki Shooting Star clips! So cute, pretty and AHH need one! We used to sell them in Cyberdog, but there's none left now! Booooooo!

This is my mini wishlist for now! I've been dressing too casually as of late, and I hate it! I can use any excuse "weather too cold" "can't be bothered" etc etc blah blah, but I need to slap myself round the face and man up to the fact that I look boring all the time lol! Fair enough, I put in all the effort at work, but as I don't really wear any CD outside of work, my wardrobe certainly looks like old news. I need to get back into the swing of being slightly fashionable lol! Speaking of fashionable, is it possible that chavs are catching onto the foxtail trend?! There was one wearing one in my local pub today...it was very scary :'(

Do you guys have any wishlists or wants in particular?

And for some non wishlist stuff, here's the purikura that I did with Rosie, Adam and Perry last week..enjoy!

I can't wait

Hello everyone! How are you all? It's the end of another week! Although I know some people class Sunday as the beginning of the week, as that's what they used to do in the olden days lol. My old, old Restaurant workplace used to do it :s

Today I had such a short and quick shift at work! Only 10am-2pm. Yeah, 4 hours isn't really anything but it feels even shorter when you finish at a time like 2pm! Everyone was like "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! NO FAIIIR" haha. We had Popi from the Brighton store come and help us today, although I didn't actually see her until I was going! I hope she did okay! Our Camden store is so much bigger, louder and generally much busier than the Brighton branch, but she's fabulous so i'm sure she did fine :D

I'm really hoping that I padd my probation at the end of February! So far I think i've been doing a good enough job, but I guess I just have to wait and see! It would kind of suck to be told that they didn't want to keep me on after i've gotten used to the surroundings and getting on so well with everyone :( I still need to go out for a drink or something with a few people, as I want to get to know them better! Because of the "no-talking" rule at work, everyone is always dying to chat and talk about so much stuff! It will be nice to have a get-together after work sometime! *hint to those of you at work that may read this :p*

Eliana sent me her photos from the Art Exhibiton! And here are some for you to see:

L-R: Claudia, Me, Ryo

Claudia



Ryo

Not loads of photos but at least a few more to save to my computer! Of course, I still really want to see Ryo's photos! :p This week has also seen the arrival of my mail! At bloody last! Some stuff I ordered way before Christmas and just aftert has started to show up, which is great. I ordered some jeans from a Japanese store on Rakuten and they came really quickly! Here's a stock photo as I haven't taken a decent enough photo of my own just yet:


Mine are the ones on the right. My friend is actually coming over tonight to order the ones on the left because she saw this photo on my Facebook wall and loved them!

 They're so comfortable! And look really nice too :D They came with a thin brown belt that you can see in the left picture, but I probably won't use it...so I stored it at the back of my drawer haha. The only other thing to do with mail that I hate besides delayed post due to weather or random stuff, is the the "attempted delivery" notes they leave you! Grr! They are such liars sometimes! I've been home and waiting for things to turn up and they don't even bother to ring the doorbell! Some mailmen don't even both to put the date or time on the note so i have no clue when they "tried" to deliver anything so I don't know if they'll still have it at the depot or not! Grrrrr grumpy Eilish lol. I went to pick up something from the Post Office on Saturday morning and got back home to find ANOTHER note because noone was home...so i'm going to pick it up tomorrow before work. I *hope* it's a d.i.a. top that I ordered online, or some nail stuff that I ordered!

Here is what I picked up on Saturday:


A d.i.a. grab-bag from Lily! Thank you so much!


This makes up for me not being able to get my hands on a 2011 d.i.a. lucky bag! And what do we have?
- Cream t-shirt
-Red long sleeve top with open back
-Gold studded bra
-Black & white print top with black sash and gold hoop detail
-Black sweatpants with pink string, border and print
-Olive onepiece with black bow and gold hoop and chain detail
-d.i.a. eco bag

I'm so happy! I looked and bidded on the 2011 bags online but they're so difficult to get hold of! People have bought 10+ bags and even though one bag retails at Y10,500, they're selling them off for Y20,000 each! I saw a bag online for Y40,000 AND Y70,000!!!! WTF. I won a 2010 lucky bag..bag haha. I didn't realise it was just the bag until i'd bidded but never mind, it's quite a nice bag (even if it does say "NEW YEARS BAG" on it haha)

I also met Caryn, Dec and Kazu (Dec's bf) briefly the other night to pick up the things that Caryn brought back for me from Japan! They were going to Karaoke but I couldn't stay as my funds are low right now (all this shopping I know...) and I was staaaaaarving!




d.i.a. top, egg Feburary and x2 Candy Doll face powder

 It's been quite a d.i.a. week I guess! Oh! And a package came in the mail from Laura! She sent it on December 20th and it's taken nearly a month to get here! I haven't taken any photos but inside came two nail varnishes from HEMA (looove), some fake eyelashes, caramel waffles (yuuuummy!) and a kit to make my own king of sweet stuff! It's a Christmas thing really but I don't care! Still going to make them and post them here! In some other news, i'm going to Oslo, Norway in February to see Monica and Ingvild! I was going to go in the first weekend of March but I had already booked a mini holiday away with my friends in October so I couldn't go :( But i'm going for 2 days or so at the beginning of Feb! It will be cold, but so so lovely to see them both! So, yeah! How has everyone's week been?

the alternatives

Hello everyone!

I'm so tired today, and I woke up at 2pm, which is damn lazy! It's because I was awake for 40hrs haha. On Friday I went out with my friends from school again and I had a blast! We went to a place in Kingston called "The Fighting Cocks" which is an alternative/metal bar with a venue, pool table and Guitar Hero room, and they also have comedy shows there with really big names like Bill Bailey and Robin Williams! I went for the first time last summer, and when I went on Friday I felt rather out of place as I had tiny shorts on, heaps of makeup and generally looked more girly than some of the blokes with long hair in there, but the atmosphere is great, so noone really cares. I saw a guy in there that I met in a club once who seriously plays women around. He works for a betting company and his "blog" is about horse betting....right. I don't know if he clocked that it was me or not, but whateverm he's a PRICK

They have a jukebox full of every alternative music genre ranging from hair metal to grunge, but the majority of the music played is stuff like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth and things like that. Although im obviously into JPop, JRock and stuff, I do still have a metal streak in me! My friend is always telling me about bands she has discovered and always playing me their stuff. She's cute. I love her :D

Remember a couple of blogs ago when I talked about the Japanese Art Festival and I mentioned something about TokyoFashion.com? We're on it!

http://tokyofashion.com/6dokidoki-harajuku-kawaii-experience-in-london/?ref=nf

We've been put under the 6%dokidoki (and there was me writing tokidoki haha) article:

I'm proud!!!! The angle of the photo make me look a bit funny but i'm still happy!

The next Japanese related event i'm going to is Hyper Japan, which i've mentioned before, and i'm missing out on Matsuri this year as that's when i'll be away with my man. We go not next week, but the week after!! Ooo! And then i'll be off to Japan 2 weeks after that!! Actually, while I remember, and although i'll write this again just before I go, my Japan trip dates are:

OSAKA : OCTOBER 4TH-7TH

4th: Arriving in the evening

5th: Sightseeing, souvenir buying, free to meetup with people

6th: Universal Studios!!

7th: Spending the day in Kyoto and travelling to Tokyo in the evening by highway bus haha

TOKYO : OCTOBER 8TH-19TH

8th: Arriving in the morning

9th: Caryn arrives!!

Then until the 19th, we'll be free everyday, but we'll also be visiting places like the Studio Ghibli Museum, Shibuya 109, and maybe Ueno Zoo as it was closed the last time we were in Japan as the day we wanted to go was New Years Eve...haha We fly back on the 19th, but our flight is at like 11pm, so we'll be free in the day and will head back to Osaka at about 7pm, just to be on the safe side! Please let me know if you want to meet up! I know Emma/Bloomzy already asked me about meeting up, but if anyone else who reads my blog will be there and wants to meet, then shout! As i've said, i'll rewrite this info a day or two before we actually fly, and then i'll try and remember to update while we're out there!

Yesterday I went back to Kingston, but in the daytime, to do some shopping and I spent nearly £90 in H&M...haha:

soooo comfortable! and H&M have a sale on denim right now, it's £10 off anything, with a minimum of 2pcs per customer, so these got reduced to £19.99 from £29.99 which is great and I needed some new jeans, and these are a great price, a great fit and as I said, damn comfortable, so yay!

Again, damn comfortable!!!

I really love this cardi the more I look at it

This top is actually a light pink, but the photo doesn't really capture the colour well. I love how the skull is made up of mini leopard spots!

I also bought some (much needed) new eyelashes from MAC, #7's and some new Zoom Lash mascara:

And just randomly, here is a photo of my current makeup, which in this photo, looks different to what it looks like haha. Maybe I should get a new camera haha

I'm working on some tuts right now, so :D

Bye!

ive been a bad girl...

Hello~

Okay, this is the time where I really need that new job. I know I go on about it in the majority of my blogs..but whatever! Lol!

Yeah, ive been bad. Ive spent some money I should have put away for Japan *cries nonstop*
Im going to have to buckle down next week and put basically of of my pay away. This is the first of my two weeks of big money after covering for the girl at work and working every day. *sigh*. im terrible...

But anyway! Ill show you what I bought! (lol)

T_T

And im really wanting some more crazy nails after seeing Yuma's...

Apart from this, ive also been addicted to the song とうきょうはろうのしちじ ("Tokyo is 7PM" or "The night is still young"). Not, however, by Pizzicato Five, but a trancey version that was on a remix from Atom nightclub that hedonists from livejournal uploaded. I don't know who its sung by! Heres a clip:

Listen here!

(just scroll down til you see a little circle with a green arrow in it, clikc it and listen away!)

Ive also gone back to really liking Bif Naked and Jack off Jill, and relistening to hide and XJAPAN.

I watched Lost in Translation last night, but didn't think it was brilliant...have you guys seen it?

What did you think if you have done? And what music do you like?
