28 ♡ HYPER meet

Seems like my phone randomly erased my last post, which is alright since it was about the GGA. Hope everyone made their votes on time!

So, this is already two weeks ago (I know, I'm super behind on everything :c ) but I wanted to update about it nonetheless. HYPER had a giftswap meet that weekend, and at first I wasn't sure whether I could make it..BUT I DID! I didn't join the giftswap, but it was alright. Everyone got super lovely gifts, and it was nice to see everyone's reaction!

This was my coordination for the day. Nothing super exciting since it was really cold, and the wind ruined my hair even before we arrived at Rox's place! Luckily her place was warm and crunchy!

Outfit rundown;

Shirt: Buffalo Bob's
Jeans: Offbrand (Takeshita dori shop)
Shoes: H&M (collab for 'The girl with the Dragon Tattoo')
Accesoires: Vivienne Westwood & Offbrand

Please ignore the messy hallway (Rox had to move several things out and more people obviously live there :'D)

And a group picture, taken from the lovely Gigi!

I had such a wonderful day with my gals, and I hope we can have more of these in the upcoming future. Everyone's really busy, but I look forward to our next meet.

And secretly...

I hope the weather will go warmer soon.

Everyone, please stay warm and safe :)

22 ♡ Happy belated everything!

It's been almost a month since my last update, but I can tell you I've been crazy busy with work mostly. Thank you all for following me, once I have the time I'll make sure to check your blogs out as well!

So, Halloween was a few weeks ago, and HYPER's Elise organised a party at her place. I had a lot of fun, seeing a lot of new faces and ofcourse my beloved amigo's Charlie, Rox and Imke. As I was completely clueless about an outfit, I just threw something together with the help of Elise and Rox.

I decided on a Minni Mouse outfit, the hat I bought back in Tokyo Disneyland and the hands I had still laying around. A while later, a couple showed up dressed as Mickey and Minni, which was rather cute. I totally did not fit into the image, haha!

There were loads of amazing costumes, and it was great to see how everyone had put effort in it. Halloween isn't an actual thing we celebrate here. It only became more populair over the years, up to the point where they now started selling decent decorations in stores.

This was the first time I wore these lenses, as I thought they wouldn't really fit with gyaru. They're pink with a black outline, actually making your eyes pop out a little. I must say, they were very comfortable to wear, and I feel bad that I have them for almost a year and didn't get to wear them up to now. (I even forgot what they are called or where I got them from..)

I ordered two new pairs, but unfortuatly they didn't come in yet. I might try to review them once they are here!

Next update soon, please keep an eye out!

21 ♡ Japan Tag {image heavy}

You probably already have seen entries appear on Rox and Charlotte's blog, but I can't stay behind, so here's one of me!

Me and Rox decided to gather up in Den Haag to meet up with Elise, who's father would drive is to Düsseldorf. We'd all stay in a hotel together, but since there was a huge trafficjam like..EVERYWHERE, it took us ages to get there. Eventually, I think we arrived around 10:30PM, and went out to have a stroll trough (drunk) Düsseldorf-City.

I decided to go for a simple, classic look since I knew I'd be travelling for hours (Including the car-ride) Didn't bother to change to go into town, since it was cold and I didn't want to stay out for too long. Yet, Sascha came over and (Even when I hadn't planned to) I got drunk B| Everyone enjoyed themselves though, or so it seemed, and around 2AM we crashed.

Around 8 we got up to have some epic breakfast (Seriously, I love hotel breakfast..They have -everything- and you can sit there for hours stuffing your face with the most delicious things) Unfortuatly, we didn't have that much time that morning since we had to get all dolled up. That is me, together with Rox and Elise from HYPER We all decided on wearing a yukata, even though it is October and freezing haha!

We were picked up by Sascha, since we were suppose to meet a couple of German gals at the trainstation. After almost an hour of waiting, we were still missing a few but decided to head off to town. Eventually, we all lost each other again so me and Rox stuck together like real die-hards. But there wasn't much time to walk around. Every 2 meters we were stopped and asked for a picture. I felt sorry for my friend, who continously had to hold my bag, and even for myself since people were rude enough to make pictures while I tried to eat my yakisoba ; n ;

Here's some pictures;

She was absolutely adorable! I think you all now Kiki's Delivery Service (Sorry about my face glowing, we kept on staring right into the sun aka looking like Earl Hickey on almost every picture haha!)

This was yet the most adorable girl I have seen all day. She was running around and her mother looked just as gorgeous (dressed in EGL) I even got a hand-kiss and high five from her.

When the evening started to fall, we went to look for Charlotte who was there with her boyfriend and mother.

And again, we got scouted by the parents of (I believe) a teenage Japanese dance-group with 10-year olds who seemed desperate to take a picture with us.

(I honestly have no idea who that narutard is...She just suddenly jumped into every picture)

When it became dark, we tried to gather everyone (In which we actually succeed!) Had an interview with centertv.de (This lady recognized me from last year where I did an interview with Scarlet) and seemed desperate to do another one, so she found a collegue that spoke Dutch and was able to translate!

We went to look for a place to eat/sit down, but since everyone already started to gather up for the fireworks, Elise Rox and me decided to find a good spot and the others would join later.

Some people decided to become racist bastards, we just point and laughed since we were here to enjoy ourselves. Eventually, everyone joined us right before the fireworks would start, even Sascha managed to find us! At 9:30PM, the fireworks kicked off.

20 minutes of the most amazing fireworks! When it ended, it was quite a pain to get out, since we had to go into the opposite direction of everyone else but made it in the end. It was so cold, and even in the hotel I couldn't seem to warm up. We head out for some turkish pizza, but me and Rox quickly fell asleep.

Next morning, we actually managed to sit there for almost 2 hours, enjoying ourselves in the sun. Me and Rox were fab at 8:30AM. Talked about Japan Tag and had a generally great time. I must say I had a lot of fun, despite we didn't see that much of the festival grounds (except some preformances)

See you again next year!

13 ♡ International Gyaru meet ★ A M S T E R D A M

Some people might have already seen this on Facebook, but this weekend we finally had the 'International Gyaru meet' in Amsterdam! We had the lovely Monica, Marcus, Amanda, Ingvild and Eivind over from Norway, and Sascha from Germany. Then there were the gals of Shebooya, and the lovely HYPER girls, and a lot of other people interested in the style.

The meet-up originally was 3 days, but most of the people showed up on Saturday. The weather had been treating us well, until we head off to have dinner at Wagamama's.

On Friday we celebrated Marcus' birthday at a Chinese restaurant. I didn't take any pictures since I forgot my camera, and I looked like crap because I had been working all day (and rushed off to the station to be at the party in time) After that we went into Amsterdam for a couple of drinks, but seeing as everyone was rather tired, we head back around 1 (And...didn't fell asleep until 3)

The next morning we got up an hour later as expected and got ready. It was time for something new and refreshing, and I hadn't really told anyone about it so..I was curious about everyone's reaction..

Something before 12 we went off to the station and met up with all the other gals, and left to town a little before 1. Some went to the sex-museum, but I decided (broke forever) to go into town and have some food instead.

→ (With the bella chika's from HYPER PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT) Rox, Jessica and Estherbel.

After that we all met up at La Place where the others had been eating, and went for another stroll until we'd have dinner at Wagamama's. (If there's a restaurant of them near you, I really suggest the curry!! BEST THING EVER) It was quite the sight, all the people looked up when we marched in with a 30+ group, asking where we were from and why we looked like this.

→ Me and Sascha

Later that night, we couldn't decide where to go or what to do. I was pretty tired, but we did end up drinking at the hotel, playing a game called 'Time, No time' (which is pretty silly when you had a few drinks) when Rox told me they'd come over and drag us out for a good time. And a good time it was!!

That was the whole group before people had to go home, and before we went to have food. As you can see, the weather wasn't exactly on our side. So basically, the promised 'BEACH' was far..far away.

My battery sadly died somewhere along the way, so that left me with just a polaroid camera. I will try to post some of those later, when I figured out the settings of my scanner :'D

So I will leave you with our kick ass food-baby court table!

I must be the worlds worst blogger ever. Are there awards for such a thing ｍ（．＿．）ｍ  ? I'm just kidding. I've been really busy with work, and now I finally found some time to update about the Oslo Couture meeting! (Maybe I'm still depressed about the weekend being so short, I had so much fun!)

I had to work on Friday, so I had to hurry packing, which I always end up doing last minute, and went off to the station where I met Imke. Everything went smooth, to the airport and onto the flight where we arrived a little after 10PM I believe. I totally lost track of time. We had to spend that night at Gardermoen Motel since we arrived so late, and left early on Saturday to Oslo city. (So, we missed out on epic karaoke (´･ω･｀) )

9AM butt face ó ò

Our hotel was fab, with semi-see trough windows in the bathroom. KINKY. It took us not too long to figure out where we had to go, and arrived a little later at Oslo station, where a lot of gals were already waiting. Everyone looked gorgeous, and they were so nice. Everyone introduced themselves, and we took out some cash. Met Monica after such a long time and we head off for lunch.

Eivind and our sunglasses.

Omelette! Their food looks like art!

I think we stayed there for quite some time, and had a nice opportunity to get to know each other :D  When we were done eating, some people left the group to get ready for the evening, and we went into town for several things. At this point, 99% was complaining about how bad their feet hurt already (￣▽￣) So a few of us ended up buying new shoes (among other things!)

Alex, looking adorable!

We had dinner at such a nice place, which we suddenly filled with a lot of people, gaining a lot of stares ofcourse. I wasn't too hungry, so all I got was a sad spring roll (I swear I thought it was bigger, please don't think I never eat （　´∀｀） ) And I shared fried rice with Hanna . 

Christine looking fab * 3 *

Had some looovely conversations Alex and Christine too. We had to wait a little before we were able to go to the party place, so we hung around some, eventually leaving off to the other place by bus. At this time I was cursing the heels I was wearing （￣へ￣）

I had a LOVELY time that evening, despite there's a hole in my memory.

 

Sums up the evening pretty much (*≧▽≦)

The next day (LOL) me and Imke had a not so tasteful breakfast and decided to use all the time to get ready, so we ended up getting at the station a bit later as planned to have lunch with the others. And again,..I was full from breakfast so I ended up eating pancake and icecream. YUM!

Me and Rebecca with our fabulous moustache. I love her style!

Picture by Monica.

We wandered around town just a little longer, which wasn't exactly going fast. We got free coke, a man who's kid nearly got hit by a cab when taking a picture of us. 

You can see him on the picture (￣▽￣)

We all head off to the station and said our goodbyes since me and Imke were flying back on Sunday evening. Again, everything went smooth, we experienced that Gardermoen should invest in more restaurants with healthy food （￣へ￣） When we arrived back in Holland,..Ofcourse all the trouble started. We missed two trains, had to go to Amsterdam Central and weren't home until 1AM, completely broken ofcourse.

But, they couldn't ruin this awesome weekend. I had a blast, and I can't wait to see everyone again. Thank you again Monica and all COUTUREGALS for organising this! I hope more meetings like these will be arranged. 

 

STAY FRESH AND FAB! MORRA DIR ER LANGSAM!

Sorry for the bit of time between updates, but my laptop has finally given in and died after 3 years of loyal service (*´Д`) Please bear with me here!

Last weekend, I went to London to meet up with the gals from 「PINK MARBLE」 with who'm I had a lovely time with. It was the first time I travelled to London by train, which I have found very convenient!

On Saturday, we went to Trocadero and made some purikura together;

We got dressed up to see the Japanese band -OZ-
At the Trocadero, there is a tiny shop at the entrance called TokyoToys, AND;

They are currently selling GEO lenses. They have a wide menu of all sorts of lenses, and they are pretty good at giving you the right information of usage and outcome. I purchased the 'Magic Color - Twilight Blue'


Their prices range from £14,99 to £22,99 and they have a lot of different styles. You can either find them in the shop, or online @ TokyoToys I must say, I am very happy with my purchase.

On Sunday we took it easy since we were all leaving home. We went to the Japan Centre, where I got the new issue of Popteen. I haven't actually had time to look trough it yet, but the cover seemed promising!
After that, me and Emelie decided to hit Chinatown really quickly, but soon found ourselfs caught in a tiny little store, where they were selling things such as Dolly Wink lashes, Koji / Canmake make up and a lot more. Unfortuatly, we were in such a rush I didn't catch the name of the store. It's on the opposite of the small market! Also it was sad to see that Pandora has closed it's doors. No more delicious crepe's (´･ω･｀)

The next actual meet will take place in Oslo, which I am really thrilled about! 

Thank you Monica & Couture Gals for organising.

We're all C R A Z Y!

I am still figuring out how to use this blog, and how to connect to others, so I'm sorry if I happen to mess up. Any help is ofcourse, always welcome ♡

This weekend was SHEBOOYA's first ME2 of 2011! Even though I am not a member of this cir anymore, I enjoy hanging around with these gals, as they're outgoing and really friendly. (Crazy in some ways!) It was a special meeting, because MAX's girlfriend, Mika, was visiting Holland. She came here all the way from Kyoto to meet up with all of us!


She's wearing a furry coat by ROSE Fan Fan, which happens to be one of her favourite brands, too. We had a little talk about brands, music and gyaru in general. She also told us, that the word AGEPOYO was something created by Aina and Yumachi (As many probably know) Still, a lot of gyaru use AGE and SAGE, like Kanako. I thought it was interesting to know!

 Even though I recieved a lot of positive comments, I wasn't exactly statisfied with my look (Neither did the weather approve of my hair it seems (*´Д`) ) I hope you get the idea though!
Next time, I'll make sure to do a outfit run-trough! I'm just -insanely- happy to have found boots that somehow cover my knees. With my height, it almost seems impossible.

The upcoming weekend, I will be travelling to London! I will be meeting up with the gals of 「PINK MARBLE」 which is a recently started nago-sa. Please check out their website and アゲアゲ vlog, especially if you're in the UK (＾∇＾) ☆
