Oh well would you look at that. It's 2017 and I haven't blogged in like 12 years maybe?<br />
<br />
So what has little old me been up to in the past, like, year since I wrote my last post?<br />
Well the answer is basically this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I've been living my life, and generally existing as one does but recently I've gotten into a weird head-funk where I'm: quote Kylie Jenner "realizing stuff".<br />

Mainly about my own life. I think I'm having a quarter life crisis. Ever since I moved to Japan I've fallen out of the entire loop of fashion which, really focusing on it, means that 60% of my soul has somehow evaded me relatively unnoticed.<br />

From knowing exactly when every country's fashion week was to forgetting that it's even a thing, I am so out of the loop of fashion that I feel like I've lost part of what made me me. From the fruition of this blog, to my college and university studies, my life has revolved around fashion, aesthetics, lifestyle and clothing but now, other than buying clothes and seeing what's in the shops, I'm totally disconnected and uninvolved. I'm out of the loop with Japanese trends and trends from my own country and culture.<br />
<br />
I'm suspended in my own unconnected timeline outside of the stream of everyone else and when I get these rare moments of clarity to sit back and evaluate my life I realize that right now, I am not where I want to be right now.<br />
<br />
This is the first time that I've had a full time job and trying to juggle my time between work and play can be hard and tiring sometimes. When I get home from work all I want to do is relax but I'm realizing more than I need to use my time more wisely so that I can be constructive with it and truly do the things that I want to do.<br />
<br />
Bla bla bla, that shite aside, I know it's late to the part but maybe I'll write about my 2016 in another post because I did do some fun things!<br />
<br />
I really should start blogging properly again. Hum harr. Well I have the Iphone 7 Plus so maybe I can finally take some pictures that don't suck so... I might open up a new blog, as I am now a Legit Adult™. Let us see how it goes!<br />
<br />
Anyway, enough rambling from me, Over and out!<br />

<br />
I'm a bit late to the party but that's pretty much my life's mantra.<br />
<br />
My new year in Japan was pretty uneventful considering that I was on a plane when it officially struck New Years.<br />
<br />
In regards to Christmas, I went back to England to see my family. I really regret not taking more pictures but I was so caught up in the madness of seeing all my family and trying to catch up with friends that I hardly took any. It seems the busier I am, the less pictures I take.<br />
<br />
I've been in Japan for nearly a year now, isn't that crazy? My Japanese is still terrible!<br />
Here's some of my most recent purikura with friends.<br />

Super quick post.<br />
<br />
I am so sorry for the long absence life has been super hectic since I moved to Japan, even though that was nearly 6 months ago. A lot has happened since the last time I posted, for one I am now living my own apartment, I have a new job (that I have been at for about 3 months now)<br />
It's taken a lot to get to this point. I only just managed to get a phone last month after 5 months of no having one. Mad right?<br />
<br />
I really love life here, I have pushed myself out of my comfort zone more than I ever have one in my life and I am surrounded by so many amazing people.<br />
<br />
I love my job, I love my life here, I love being a teacher. All is good.<br />
<br />
If any of my readers are ever in Tokyo, please lets hang out. I'd love to meet more people here~<br />
<br />

In an interesting and very sudden turn of events I am now living in Japan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been here for almost 2 weeks but despite that, I really haven't taken many pictures. I've been so busy trying to get my life sorted (like sorting my bank and phone and residency stuff has been a total mare) that I haven't really been able to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or I've been having so much fun with friends that taking photos was the last thing on our minds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been really fun I'm hoping to vlog about my experiences here when I have the time.~</div>

Here's couple of pics of me derping around with my friend Emi whose appartment I have practically been living at. </div>

I really love it her. It's been difficult trying to manage with a language that I barely have an understanding of but I'm learning more everyday and I have a lot of amazing friends who have been helping me out. Everyday is an adventure. I'm really excited for this year!<br />

More soon!<br />

Nice to see you again. More purchases have been made, more money has been spend. More guilt I have been experiencing. What whatever. This month was filled with IMPORTANT PURCHASES and whatnot.<br />
<br />
In other news, I have new hair. After becoming bored with my current hair, which I've had for over a year, my annual hair change was due.<br />
I bought some 22" extensions a few months back and the idea what that they were supposed to match my current hair colour, which they didn't so off I went to hunt out a salon that could dye my hair the same colour at my extensions.<br />
<br />
I went to Headmasters in Sutton for a colour consultation and I was told 'Na mate your hair will go yellow and die if we make it that colour, and there's no guarantee that it's going to turn out that colour'<br />
'Oh' says I. Well whatever, I expected to dye my extensions because you can never trust ebay shops to have extensions the colour that they say that they are.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"> I was super happy because they actually had good tea. Like better than Starbucks. Which is shit.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Anywho. I'm given a load of options which what I can do with my hair in its current state, which was this lovely state of whatever colour this is called, with terrible 2 inch roots.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I return 2 weeks later and I'm put in a chair. The girl looks at me and looks at the notes and she says '....highlights isn't going to work'<br />
Two other salon girls are called in and they're all mulling over what I can do with my hair to make it blonde.<br />
First thing they said to me was 'Let's try ombre'<br />
'NO. NO NO'. I am so over ombre. Everyone and their dad has it, I really didn't want ombre, at least not dramatically anyway. DNW.<br />
'How about Balayage, it's like ombre but with way less maintenance?<br />
<br />
It would allow the stylists to work with my existing colour, which was already a lot lighter at the ends that it was nearer the top of my head so I was like.<br />
<br />
<b>"PERFECT, JUST FUCK ME UP"</b><br />
<br />
I got this season's most trendy shit done to my hair basically. Interesting.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Grump queen. I had a load of "babylights" put around my hairline to blend my roots in</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
There were quite a lot of processes done. I can't really remember all the processes At this point already had my roots lightened and a base colour applied to my hair but there was no use of bleach.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In this picture, I had foils put in for the "babylights" put in around my hairline which would give a more natural look when I tied my hair up and all that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The random strips of dye are the actual balayage, where the dye is hand painted in tones into the hair, using what looked like a spanking paddle. What was really interesting is that the stylist would line up the colour with my cheekbones at this is supposed to give the most flattering effect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Anyway, here's a photo I took the next day of it. I'm really happy with the colour, obviously it's not what I intended to have originally, but it looks a lot nicer on my skin.</div>

I couple of weeks ago, I ordered some clothes from MBOK. I got the pastel skirt from Japanese brand Datura (which is fast becoming my favourite brand) and the purple dress from Rady. Rady is normally sickeningly expensive but I think I got the dress for £20 so I ain't complaining.<br />

I treated myself to a new bag. All of my bags are falling to pieces and I really like bags that I can carry a lot of things in so I got this baby from Ted Baker.

<br />
I don't really have anything good to post at the moment. I have a really bad habit of not taking photos of when I go out, I get a bit too caught up in the moment so all I have to post about today are some recent buys.<br />
<br />
I have kindled a love for £1 shops. I don't know what sparked me to go but last week I found myself going to all 4 £1/99p/discount stores in my town and I loved it.<br />
<br />
I bought so much shit for so cheap. I am <b>so happy.</b><br />
<br />
Firstly I picked up these rather terrifying Little Mix nail wraps from Savers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS73v-7YiCJsAWyiAziKYWWY8NNwvq0bj_skJPu519C0Z_8ZMxxWCxSAk8xiVL9DFjRrm_eFKuJ8ledOBxFa3nV-r67UuC6-7z3H13PyFKq_45U65BHesiH8TLGpcWJ6e5VMW0X1j9xd7E/s1600/nail+wraps.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS73v-7YiCJsAWyiAziKYWWY8NNwvq0bj_skJPu519C0Z_8ZMxxWCxSAk8xiVL9DFjRrm_eFKuJ8ledOBxFa3nV-r67UuC6-7z3H13PyFKq_45U65BHesiH8TLGpcWJ6e5VMW0X1j9xd7E/s1600/nail+wraps.png" height="498" width="640" /></a></div>
I don't know how popular these guys are in other countries, but just in case you don't know Little Mix are a girl group here. I don't listen to them but these nail wraps were less than a pound so naturally the sparkles made me want them. You could still actually buy these nail wraps for full price in <a href="http://boots.com/">Boots.</a><br />

Pound Land actually have <a href="http://www.poundland.co.uk/health-and-beauty/make-up-gallery">their own little makeup line</a> which is actually surprisingly good! I bought 3 nail polish. The first 2 are nice, the last one looks nice in the bottle, but once you put it on, it's dark dark brown. Nah.<br />
Collagen face masks from Saver which are AMAZING btw. A bit too big for my face but I manage.<br />
Sleek and Bourgeois lashes (which are a less fancy rip off of <a href="http://www.shuuemura.co.uk/accessories/false-eyelashes/statement-lashes/mini-star-glitz-false-eyelashes">this Shu Uemura pair</a>) I have yet to try and finally hair chalk because why not.<br />
<br />
I actually bought more stuff but I forgot to take pictures of them. Oops!<br />
<br />
I haven't really been buying that many clothes recently because I'm trying to save up. I really wanted some light blue in my wardrobe (because suddenly everything is pink and all the pinks clash and it's a nightmare)<br />

I bought the blue <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/women/shoes--boots/heels/Blue-snake-print-bow-court-shoes-662926">River Island shoes</a> on impulse but then realised I had nothing to go with it so I bought thee Forever 21 jumper with a back bow to match.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And (I bought these quite a while ago) some River Island pyjamas which I have been wearing separately as day wear. No one's caught me out yet so it obviously doesn't matter!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm waiting on some new clothes to arrive in the post. I bought a tracksuit for the first time in years and I'm waiting for a new<a href="http://web.mbkr.jp/brand/datura/id/1303"> Datura </a>skirt and <a href="http://rady.jp/">Rady</a> dress but I'll make another post about those once they arrive.</div>

Recently I've been working on changing my bedroom décor a bit. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My love of functionality and hatred things that don't serve practical purpose in a room has left my room looking, well, like a white box with bits of boring ass furniture and the odd pink thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While I love practical things that look decorative, there's not enough stuff in my room to stop it looking like a plain white box so my mission recently has been finding things to fill it with.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When I came across any's designs the other day, it really made me want to play with texture and get marble bedsheets and lilac fur carpets and paint the walls in gradient pinks and purples.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hope you enjoy? And if you know of any other interior designers or furniture designers that create awesome stuff.</div>

It's been a while!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have vowed to start blogging more regularly again. I know I say this every time I blog but now university is out of the way I finally have time to focus on MEEE.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't really know what I should talk about. I turned 23. I started a new job as an editor for a new fashion site and app. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been an odd few months. I've been suspended in a bit of an limbo where I feel like I'm supposed to be living an adult life but instead I'm bumbling around being confused most of the time with various blocks in my way stopping me from going where I want to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a lot of conflicting things I want to do. I'm so torn between moving to Japan to teach or pursuing a fashion career in the UK. I want to escape the British mind-set for a bit and lose myself somewhere. Then re-find the self I was before university DESTROYED ME.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll get there eventually. I have big dreams.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I kind of wanted to talk about the decline of gyaru because gyaru was the reason that I started blogging in the first place. I'll talk about that more in a future post.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blogging within the international gal community has seriously declined in the last couple of years, which makes me sad because nowdays it's really hard to find out about gal because there are so few outlets where Gal is discussed or covered. I don't even know how people who are new to gal even discover it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, with that in mind, I want to keep blogging with the galness. Even though my style has changed a lot, Gal makeup and styling are still 2 of the biggest influences on my style and I don't think that will change any time soon!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I have some time for me, I have created a new Gal resource blog, <a href="http://thegalbible.blogspot.co.uk/">The Gal Bible</a> (<<click) which will cover anything gal related; makeup, fashion, news, inspiration, everything. Have a looksie~ </div>

<br />
Just a short and sweet post about mine and <a href="http://miraidevil.blogspot.co.uk/">Marie's</a> adventure to get our nails done a couple of months ago.<br />
<br />
We'd both been going on about how much we wanted our nails done pretty so we did some research and found a salon that was pretty local to us that did the sorts of nails that we wanted.<br />
<br />
We found this place in Croydon called <a href="http://www.whitesandsuk.com/">White Sands </a>~<br />
<br />
I really wish I took a picture of the salon because it was so pretty! As it was a beauty salon rather than just a nail salon all the decor was really relaxing and it has a white/blue theme.<br />
<br />
There were some of the example designs that they has at the salon that included nails with 3D bits, and illustrations<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2EB2fJKSNpU5jDndsrZj6SQ4M9pvB2ZyWg6kURlA2N0OUG07nwnGWQHZtpryZkZC9DrFYQgLaubYUM_eMXKM9xhLlBns_MOPtAZP8IUOTCdOttCUOrxJXEb0xl2Pi9uo7P2Z7FrWg7Zot/s1600/2014-07-23+15.59.31.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2EB2fJKSNpU5jDndsrZj6SQ4M9pvB2ZyWg6kURlA2N0OUG07nwnGWQHZtpryZkZC9DrFYQgLaubYUM_eMXKM9xhLlBns_MOPtAZP8IUOTCdOttCUOrxJXEb0xl2Pi9uo7P2Z7FrWg7Zot/s1600/2014-07-23+15.59.31.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Marie was the first to go up. We both wanted Gyaru inspired nails so we got ours all blinged out.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was really impressed with how clean the salon was.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The few experiences that I have had at the cheapy nail salons is that the condition which the tools are kept is is pretty meh and they didn't clean the tools well and they'd reused files which you shouldn't do. Also they'd use an electronic file to file your nails with which shouldn't be done as the electronic filers are only supposed to be used on acrylic, not natural nails. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But White Sands was super clean. All the tools the technician needed were sterile and were sitting in pots of disinfectant on the table while she was using them. She was gentle with filing so my nails weren't buffed down too thinly when she was priming my natural nails for the acrylics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The theme I wanted for my nails was <b>'girly as fuck</b>' and 'something that will match my clothes' so I opted for these gradient acrylics with embedded heart glitter and some diamante and heart cabochon detail. In total I think my nails took about 1.5 hours</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinXmQHgH7pjgmj33RdhN9zTY1ef0Ht3DGH5GnsCPzgLzGYu5MQ5DslkP-zyrThn2i-adB0kH4hdOvWrW-gb9V5Y7SpNG9q-_mCCbbTOO2tDArvhnWHnfOiEDZZTilAvhm1ftahz21Lxqs7/s1600/nails+m8.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinXmQHgH7pjgmj33RdhN9zTY1ef0Ht3DGH5GnsCPzgLzGYu5MQ5DslkP-zyrThn2i-adB0kH4hdOvWrW-gb9V5Y7SpNG9q-_mCCbbTOO2tDArvhnWHnfOiEDZZTilAvhm1ftahz21Lxqs7/s1600/nails+m8.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Marie's were a lot more elegant than mine and she got acrylics with pink, black and silver and black and silver diamante designs as well as a crown cabochon on the thumb.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I bloody loved my nails. They got quite a lot of attention especially as work with customers wondering how I could do anything with them.<br />
<br />
I could do pretty much everything with them except typing and pressing things which happen to be the two functions that are vital for my jobs so I loved my nails, I found them incredibly frustrating to wear. The nails lasted me for about 2 1/2 weeks before I eventually removed them out of frustration. I was really upset to see them go but they were just too impractical for me to wear!<br />
<br />
I have no idea how girls like gyaru Harutamu can do anything with nails as long as she has when with I felt like I was inflicting a disability on myself with having such long nails.<br />

I've been spending a lot of time working from my back garden in the skimpiest clothes I have and it is all FAB!<br />
Ok except today there's clouds and everything.<br />
<br />
Lots of my friends have been saying that they miss me blogging and I kind of do to but I don't really know what to write about anymore haha.<br />
Please bear with me while I find the lead to my SLR camera so I can actually upload pictures that don't look like shite.<br />
<br />
Once again i've been spending money on things that I really shouldn't. Last week my latest haul from taobao arrived and I'm super happy with it aah~<br />

I feel like my wardrobe is finally starting to take shape into something I'm really happy with. It's starting to change into a bit of a capsule wardrobe so everything matches with everything, which makes for easy styling!<br />
<div>
I've had a massive clearout of clothes (and wow it's been a lot) so I will be sticking those in a link in the near future once I've taken photos of everything.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's amazing how you can have so many clothes but still have nothing to wear!</div>
<div>

If you wanted to know where any of the stuff comes from, ask away in the comments and I'll let you know. it'l take me quite a while to re-find the links!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This haul ended up being quite expensive because of the weight of the shoes made the cost of the shipping go up quite high, but it matters not because I now have 2 amazing pairs of shoes to add to my collection!<br />
<br />
I bought all that stuff because I've fallen in love with the aesthetic of a Japanese brand called Swan Kiss, particularly with how the staff girls style themselves. It's just too cute!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9G6lafMLcOgzcyERtowDUiMgHRnJU6POMs16AkZsh9zJj69bjlgRiguzTWo3sTYO9qynKDa2BYAnHSB_dk5wcBRvm_-cuNFj8uiHDUTY8Hnz755TfwNKg5utsv9ooCdODcUBIVZRd8JoF/s1600/swan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9G6lafMLcOgzcyERtowDUiMgHRnJU6POMs16AkZsh9zJj69bjlgRiguzTWo3sTYO9qynKDa2BYAnHSB_dk5wcBRvm_-cuNFj8uiHDUTY8Hnz755TfwNKg5utsv9ooCdODcUBIVZRd8JoF/s1600/swan.jpg" height="306" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Even though the look is really cutesy, the silhouettes are a bit more mature than a lot of other pastel coloured brands out there. I'm not a big fan of over-sized clothing or fluffy skirts that have been popular with a lot of shibuya brands because fluffy skirts make me feel like a 12 year old girl in her 'rebellious punk princess' phase (or just Avril Lavigne) and baggy clothes make me feel like a 12 year old boy.<br />
So basically Swan Kiss combines everything I love in regards to silhouettes and cute motifs.<br />
<br />
I also really love their hair and makeup~ While gal trends have toned themselves down and the makeup has become a lot more natural, this brand (not even sure if it's even considered gal) still had dramatic makeup and cute My Little Pony-esque hair.<br />
<br />
I don't think I could commit to having coloured streaks dyed into my hair as I only had my hair re dyed the other week but after seeing my bb Yami with hair chalks in her hair, I might pick some up next time I go shopping!<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any recommendations of brands of hair chalk to buy? I feel super late picking up on the trends, I know its been around for ages now.</div>

I haven't written anything about my life since August, well the start of my final year at uni because life has been pretty manic. Everything happened at once. Final year of university was mental by default and on top of that I had my 6 hour per day commute, and then I also got an actual paying job and then <a href="http://stylehoney.com/">Style Honey</a> had our prelaunch site so there's not much time that I have to dedicate to me. While I'm on the internet a lot its for job purposes.</div>

I'm working part time at River Island now. I got a temp job at Christmas and they decided to keep me on.

My partner is fashion/fujoshi-ism <a href="http://elegiac-circus.tumblr.com/">Siqi </a>had been going on about this BL <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_novel">visual novel</a> called Dramatical Murder (DMMD) and I finally got round to playing it in December.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It looks really pretty and it is but some of the plot-lines are really ...brutal. I wasn't prepared for some of the themes in it ;_;. Massive trigger warning before you get any ideas about playing it. </div>

Adding to my weebishness, I've gotten back into reading manga as well. My favourite genres at the moment are psychological, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaoi">BL</a> and horror~ Here's some of my faves that I've read over the last 6 months.

I had long hair for like a month. I missed having long hair and naturally being the poor lil shit I was at the time I bought some rank micro loop extensions from ebay. Ebay extensions feel good for like 2 washes, then they feel like what you'd imagine Satan's pubes to be like.</div>

I have a question for you; Have you ever seen a fashionable person smile?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The answer is no.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But why is this? What is making these magnificent creatures troubled?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are many reasons why fashionable people don't smile, I'll break some
down for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Picture this:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You're walking past doing shit and you see a boy decked top to toe in black.
He's wearing about 5 layers of what looks like bed linen pinned to his lank
figure and he's wearing an expression that looks like he's contemplating
murder. Why is he so miserable? What could have possibly happened to him that
made him look so sour? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. He's poor as shit</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This guy couldn't even smile if he tried, he just spent £400 of a pair of
Raf Simmons shoes, he's not going to be able to eat or pay rent for a good few
months. I know I'd be sad if that happened to me.</div>

<b>2.You're hurting his eyes</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having to look at clothes that aren't from brands that demand 3 figures for t-shirts is exhausting, irritating and painful on the eyes. If only he could be
surrounded by 50 other people wearing an outfit that costs as much as a deposit
on a flat maybe a smile would crack across his jaded face.</div>

If you happened to come across somebody in the street with a massive smile across their face, you'd probably wonder who they just murdered. These fashion people have chronic bitch-face syndrome just like you, but because of their flashing dressing, you're more likely to pay attention to them and notice their stroppy faces. He's happy on the inside. </div>

It's a hard life working in "Dat Boutique Wot Noone Has Herd Ov" (you know the place right? no of course you don't). His 5 day weeks with long hours on his feet and few customers make days slow and dull and his only solace are his co-workers. Yes they look like scary pack animals whose clothes cost more than 6 months worth of rent but the truth is they're just bloody bored of standing there. </div>

It's hard being fabulous so give him a break. He can take solace in the fact that in 3 years time, those dumb shits will be wearing the exact same clothes as he is now and he can laugh at how sheep-minded and out of date they are. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is going to be a ranty post about my least favourite trend of the last 2 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to like it. I tried so effing hard to like it but I just can't. I welcomed it with open arms but when it arrived I ran for the fucking hills. And I can't escape it. Nobody can escape it. What is it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
That bandwagon that EVERY high street brand in every country has been jumping on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what is street wear exactly?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Street wear originally was a type of "urban uniform" worn by skaters and b-boys which was both fashionable and practical enough for both dossing around the streets and being physically active.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently [unfortunately] we have once again dragged another trend from the depths of the 90s and reworked it to our suit 21st century taste, while completely forgetting the origins and meaning on streetwear to begin with.</div>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Head: A beanie or snapback. Extra cool-points if the beanie is from a brand nobody has ever heard of. Snapback must be from Supreme.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Top: A tshirt varying from cropped to long. Can be worn in or out. Must be HUGE. Bonus points if the print is from your friends new streetwear brand on ASOS marketplace</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bottoms: Shorts cut like knickers. Don't like exposing your ass? Fuck you here have some leggings instead. Black leggings as pants are, like, so boring, hows about something in a hideous print from your childhood?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Legs: bare or socks of varying lengths</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shoes: BIG AND CLUNKY. The more they look like your school shoes when you were 5 the better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Accessories: LOTS OF GOLD. Nothing says 'street' like a chain you bought from Primark. Want to feel authentic? Try one of those plastic neon tattoo necklaces and bracelets you had 50 of when you were 8. Feeling daring? Hows about some culturally appropriated bindis? Disrespecting other peoples culture for the sake of fashion is cute as hell</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So why don't I like it? Let me tell you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
1. <b>We spent the whole of the 2000s reflecting back on past fashion, why are we still doing it.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Philosopher George Santayana said this famous quite which I believes sums up my view on streetwear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did
you see the key point it was trying to make? DOOMED. George is
basically saying that the past is there for a reason and the reason we
aren't still contunieing with those aspects from the past are because
they are HORRIBLE MISTAKES.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All that sunflower print and tiki beads from your childhood are mistakes, and if you try wearing them again, you will <b>die</b>.</div>

<b>3. Cultural appropriation is gross.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b>
Wearing bindis, Native American headdresses, hindu god prints, thawbs (traditional arabian clothing) etc because it makes you look "cute" or "edgy" is not cute or edgy. It's gross. It's rude and disrespectful to dilute someone elses' culture for the sake of your fashion choices. Don't promote it. Don't do it. I've seen so many street wear kids using those items and it makes me want to vom. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The chavs from late 90s to early 2000s were distinct for their pulled back hair and trackuits. The streetwear crowd is doing exactly the same thing except with tousled hair and mini-shorts that ride so high up your butt that you have booty-cleavage. It's become a uniform.</div>

<b>5. YOU CAN'T ESCAPE IT</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every high street shop is doing their own variation of the look and unless you want to pay premium for clothes, you can expect to end up looking like a street wear clone for years to come. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trends are born out of a change in the socio-cultural climate so there is a reason why streetwear has stuck around for so long. Whatever that socio-cultural change is, I want it to go away 5ever and present us with something new and magical.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The past 15 years of fashion have been a period of
nostalgia for fashion from previous decades. When will we look to the
future of fashion? When will we start to create a look which is
signature to the current decade we're in? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let it end soon otherwise I will be opting to wear a bin bag for the rest of eternity. </div>

Hi guyssss!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I say this all the time but I wish I would take more photographs when I'm out and about with friends. I never remember to take out my camera when the moment calls for it because I'm too busy enjoying the moment but when I look back on it I wish I took pictures!</div>

Recently I went to a Gal meeting which me and my bebe Marie hosted. I really want to get back into the gal scene because the times when I were hanging out with lots of gals were some of most treasured memories. There are so many new faces in the UK gal scene; a lot more than there used to be. Every was so so friendly and I've made some really amazing new friends so we hope to have lots more meets in the future. I just need to up my game with my style. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
On to me being emo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been having some issues with my heart recently and I'm not too sure what brought it on. Over the last few months my heart has been beating abnormally fast when I'm active. I've been to the doctors and had tests and I've been told that yes it is fast but it's nothing to worry about. Sometimes it beats so quickly when I walk I'm surprised I'm still standing! I feel nothing though. It doesn't hurt. Well it doesn't occasionally on and off but I don't know if its my heart or my chest or my muscles aching because I sit like an idiot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I don't know if its all in my head or anxiety but whatever it is, I want to get to the bottom of it before I start university again. It's funny how you get sick as soon as you have nothing to do. CRY. I'll be fine. I'll be FIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!<br />
<br />
PS- is there anything in particular you'd like to see me post about?<br />
<br />
I'm out have a song.<br />

Happy days! We finally have good weather in the UK so I churned out this post in fitting with this rare occasion.<br />
My style inspiration posts have been some of my most popular evur, but since I hadn't made one this year, here we go! Your brand brand new s/s13 style icons... according to me! HAH.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Congratulations Ms Brooke on winning at Tumblr, the rest of you can all leave in an orderly line.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What's so amazing about Brooke Candy? Other than the visual fabulousity that you are currently experiencing, Brooke Candy is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHULK1M-P08">amazing rapper</a> and is totally pro-lady, which is quite lovely in today's trend of slagging off girls left and right. Brooke is all about loving your sisters, sexual freedom and her lyrics are refreshingly tongue in cheek!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Why Brooke Candy is your new S/S13 style icon</b></div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li><b>Tis the season to show booty</b> [fa la lalala etc you know the rest] and Brooke Candy is all about the booty, but bum cheeks gets boring with just mini shorts and skirts so try and amp it up with some metal knickers or simply just a thong for casually going down the highstreet</li>
<li> <b>The chav look has been dead just long enough to bring it back ironically </b>or just wear it with pride anyway because from an aesthetic point of view, the chav look was kind of awesome</li>
<li><b>You know you miss those braids you used to get on holiday when you were like 5 </b>well here's your excuse to get them done again!</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NEXT UP!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://ameblo.jp/aplus--amo/">Amo</a> is a model/ singer/ designer/ style icon/ everything and it takes a special kind of person to have a style named after them, in this case it being 'Amo Style'. Amo's look is 'kawaii' but creepy, but not in the <a href="http://ameblo.jp/kyarypamyupamyu/">Kyary Pamyu Pamyu</a> sense of rainbow everything and ugly-cute (or kimo-kawa), but in a slightly nostalgic, melacholy sense. I love the juxtapositin of contrasting moods and its slightly more adult than Kyary's look, which I personally feel more comfortable wearing. </div>

<li><b>It's summer: it's hot. It's only natural you want to be a mermaid;</b> she's already half way there</li>
<li><b>There needs to be a new place on your face for blusher. </b>Cheeks are so passe. Rosey glow is so 'meh'. It's all about having blush under your eyes, like sunburn. It's cute! (No really look at her.)</li>
<li><b>You can rewear your pastels.</b> Remember that tiny trend we had last year for pastel colours that popped up out of nowhere and then vanished after two weeks? In your excitement of a refreshing change of colour pallet amongst browns, that gross mustard colour and worst of all <i>burgandy</i> you bought everything in Topshop and have yet to wear it all again. Well now is your chance! Don't worry about looking like a cupcake, just go all out. </li>

Did I hear an 'Is that Lady Gaga?' No? GOOD. So this is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalia_Kills">Natalia Kills </a>who I feel like is going to be the next big thing in music. As well of churning out some <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnKTpw6urfI">amazing pop tracks</a>, she's definitely one of the more original dressers we have in the world of Western celebrity. So much black and gold mmmm.</div>

</div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li><b>Everything she wears is black, like your wardrobe</b> Black doesn't have to be for autumnal months. Express your distain for British weather and societies expectations of your S/S12 wardrobe by donning an all black ensemble right in the middle of summer "Is it Halloween, love" that builder down your road chimes. " YES, yes it is. In my soul" you reply</li>
<li><b>Those sunglasses though. </b>Have you ever seen a person look so majestic in a pair of Jeremy Scott glasses before? No you have not. Exactly. If you want to wear his glasses successfully, you'll need to 'pull a Natalia'.</li>
<li><b>The new eyebrows. </b>Cara Delevigne's full brow trend gave us eyebrowier girls a chance to give our poor eyestaches a little break from over-plucking but Natalia's straight brows are a nice alternative. I hear straight brows are quite popular with that Ulzzang lot too.</li>

If any of y'all aren't familiar with this gal, or this rather ghostly look, this is artist and designer, <a href="http://minori0000.tumblr.com/">Minori</a> and her look is called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THKMxEIkPVU">Shiro-nuri</a> (shiro meaning white, hence the white face), which is one of the newer style tribes in Tokyo ((as a subculture nut, I am INCREDIBLY excited for this new tribe.)) Traditionally Shiro-nuri makeup was used by people such as <a href="http://www.hannari-ya.com/">Geishas and Kabuki artists</a>. Minori's nature inspired look isn't typical of the shiro-nuri tribe as members of the community can wear anything from gothic to lolita to grotesque, it's a really variable look!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>Why Minori is your new S/S13 style icon</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li><b>White face = flattering photos by default.</b> If you are a Japanese blogger, a 14 year old girl on the internet or are me, the 'brightness' option on photo editor is your best friend. Who cares if your nose is missing, look how fabulously flawless your skin is, right? Painting your face white completely cuts out the middle man, so you are photo ready 100% of the time!</li>
<li><b>You can wear pajamas in public and <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1246722/Cover-No-shopping-PJs-barefoot-Tesco-tells-shoppers-supermarket-unveil-dress-code.html">not get thrown out of Tescos. </a></b>Let me elaborate a little more. By pajamas I actually mean glamorous vintage night dresses, bed jackets and peignoirs which can pass as fancy little dresses. Layer them up, and you're ready to go! And you'll feel like a fairy, which is like totally always in fashion right? </li>
<li><b>Loving what you love despite society's social norms is always fabulous.</b> Have a watch of her recent interview with <a href="http://tokyofashion.com/">Tokyo Fashion</a>, she lives and breathes her style and wears it everywhere. She doesn't care about how others see her, she does what she loves</li>

When I say Vintage, I mean the era between the 80s and late 90s where anime girls had normal voices and had more value than purely <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_service">fanservice</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The 'magical girl' is a common tv trope in anime, that being a regular girl that transforms into a super hero with magical, adorable powers with the help of a magical object, being a tiara, a wand, a compact mirror. They're pretty, powerful and I think every girl wishes we was part magical girl.</div>

<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li><b>They are <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln0-InXXazw">super quick at getting ready.</a></b> This point isn't style inspiration, it's life inspiration. If if they can have a full face of makeup, perfect hair and are dressed in 30 seconds then why can't you? Go time yourself to see how fast you can get ready.</li>
<li>T<b>hey know how to keep their coloured hair vibrant and healthy. </b>As a bleached girl, my hair when not taken proper care of feels and often looks like a dead badger. These girls have none of that. What's their secret? Who knows, they're magical they probably don't know how it works either, but <a href="http://imgladiexist.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/diy-hair-repair-masks.html">DIY hair masks</a> for bleached hair work just as well!</li>
<li><b>They're practical and stylish.</b> While kicking ass or going about important life things, it's important to be dressed appropriately. You can't be tripping over your heels or laces and you need to be comfortable but those traits aren't always that cute, but these girls are doing it right. </li>

After being in a 'dark' fashion phase for so long (e.g. black everything, or neons, spikes, heavy structures, brash everything) I've found myself craving to look the polar opposite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently I have been <b>craving</b> frills, lace and anything pastel coloured but at the same time those are things that I have never really been comfortable wearing because I've always been worried I'd come across looking too 'cutesy'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still I was determined to get my fix of frills, pastels and lace clothes that aren't too cute and thankfully I came across an adorable designer and brand called <a href="https://www.etsuna-otsuka.com/">Etsuna Otsuka</a>.</div>

Can you believe that it's nearly the end of May? April was like the slowest month of my life but with May; I think I was aware it was May for about 2 days and now suddenly it's gone!<br />
<br />
I love discovering or being recommended new music so I thought I'd share some of my favorite tunes for the month!<br />
<br />
My music taste hasn't really changed much over the past few years, it's always been quite diverse but yah, here's my faves~<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_WKkX-4HHP0" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
I haven't really been keeping up with kpop as much as I used to <span style="font-size: xx-small;">((I still shamelessly creepy on the pretty new boys tho -ugly laughter-))</span>. There are so many new groups debuting like every week that it fries my brain, but I just happened listen to Tarzan by the Wonderboyz and was entranced by how bloody catchy it is! Feels like summer~ IF WE HAD SUMMER IN ENGLAND UUGGH. The video's a bit creepy tho.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/egUQju95vT8" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
The video has yet to come out for this song but I'm awaiting eagerly! I think Studio Killers are gonna be huge, especially thanks to their main gal, Cherry. I've always loved the whole concept of animated popstars, like the Gorillaz or Shanks and Bigfoot (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHFFol-8REI">remember them?</a>) Their visuals are amazing, you have to check out their video for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo-EmtXbFRg">Ode to the Bouncer</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGjHsLnUO1U">Eros and Apollo</a> and like fall in love with Cherry. Their lyrics address some pretty controversial issues but its still very lighthearted! <br />
<br />

Appaz this song takes samples of a character called Yuna from the game Final Fantasy's theme music and another Final Fantasy theme song called Zanarkand? I didn't know that before I heard it. I am a MASSIVE Owsey fan. His music is so soothing and ambient and it makes me want to dream and be happy and aaaah. So nice, have a listen!<br />
<br />

Not many people know much about UK Hip-hop music, but we have some really incredible musicians. <a href="http://lastnightinparis.tumblr.com/">Last Night in Paris </a>are an arts and music collective containing a load of incredible young artists, fashion designers, music producers, photographers, film makers etc and they just produce the most amazing.. well everything. If you like The Weeknd or Miguel or love ambient, trip-hop or lo-fi, you will definitely love these guys, check out their <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/LNIPB?feature=watch">Youtube channel</a> too for their other songs~<br />

In my eyes, G-dragon can do no wrong. Except maybe for the giant feet part in this vid EW, and the fact I have no clue what is happening this video. Yup I'm definitely deluded. This is such like a danceable song and it makes me want to dance (and then sit back down cos I cracked my hip from overexcitement) This is my walking song. I walk down the street thinking 'MURDER' with this playing full blast. I feel like such a bad-man.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gVA3oTd3e7g" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
UGH I'm obsessed with this song. Mainly because of the video. It's so poppy and 80s and just CUTE and I want a cute twin. I think it's quite an interesting sound coming from Japan. I think AmiAya are something a little different, it doesn't sound like regular Jpop. But I love it. And I want to be Ami and Aya. And sit on that rainbow tank. Ah ah visual overload~~<br />
<br />

<br />
This song played high quality with ear phones is the most ethereal magical song ever. The video sounds exactly how the video depicts. I really wish Piana was still active with music as I only just discovered how amazing she is ;_;<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cx3Ic17VIx4?rel=0" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
I always forget about this song until it pops up on my phone playlist and I'm like HOOOLLY CRAP THIS IS AMAZING. Glen Check is actually a Korean band (omg a Korean BAND, whutt?). Leather's sound kind of reminds me of that whole electro/indie thing that was quite popular a couple of years ago, which I never particularly liked, but I LOVE THIS. I think it would totally go down well at a nightclub anywhere. <br />

Sneaky entry! I've know about With Joyful Lips for ages but because I've been watching a lot of Bollywood movies recently, this was worth a share in my May faves! Anmol Ghadi is a mash up of sample sounds from an old Bollywood movie of the same name, and it just sounds so magical and glitchy<br />
<br />
OK last one! <br />

Only recently have I begun to appreciate some of the amazing songs that have been produced by the music software phenomenon <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocaloid">Vocaloid.</a> The software can allow people to create spoken lyrics from written words, and some of the results are really... meh. This vocals isn't the original Vocaloid version of 'Tawagoto Speaker' but it's a cover and a damn good one at that, I think it sounds better sung with a natural human voice, especially since the music itself is really well produced.<br />
<br />
So there we have it guys, my favourite songs for May! What did you think?<br />
<br />
Tell me what your favourite songs are this month!<br />
<br />
I suddenly remembered that I used to post hideous pictures of myself like 2 years ago and I definitely think I need to get back into the swing of that. So here we go!<br />

OH SNAAAAP I have finished university for the year!! As I have no more learning to do for the rest of the academic year, my body has also decided to go on a little vacay as usual.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's funny how suddenly when you have a lot of time off you suddenly get ill. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not too sure how it's happened but my wardrobe has expanded quite rapidly in the last few months so I'm going to be showing you quite a lot of new things that I have gotten in the last new weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently I managed to buy one of my dream skirts, which is this <a href="http://unifclothing.com/">UNIF</a> Garter skirt that I had been eying up over the last year but I've never been able to find it online as it kept selling out. Thank the Cosmic Owl that <a href="http://shimbirizer.blogspot.co.uk/">Shimbi </a>pointed it out to me so I could buy it and OH MY STARS IT IS A BEAUT.</div>

I wanted to go for an OTT girly but creepy look. I don't normally feel comfortable wearing really girly clothes but tying in some black made me happier for some reason.</div>

My mother and I went into Central London to go to an exhibition and came back with shopping as you do. I fell in love with this cute cutout top. I think it's one of those pieces that will never go out of style because they aren't overly trendy to begin with so this is going to be in my wardrobe for a good few years. All I need now is a cat related skirt and I can put together an entire outfit based around cat items!</div>

I left a couple of things because they're either scattered around the house or are in the wash. I'm really happy to actually have some things to wear for Spring because most of my clothes are winter related.<br />
<br />
I'm also trying to ween myself off buying black stuff again. A few years ago I banned myself from buying anything black for an entire year and stuck to it but since I stopped the ban, everything in my wardrobe is suddenly black again! Not good!<br />
<br />
Before I go, here's me and <a href="http://www.randapow.blogspot.com/">Randa</a> working really hard at the Cassette Playa popup.<br />

To be fair I didn't even know that H&M has a design award up until a few days ago but I am SO glad I do. Basically, it's a competition which is open to students of 19 major fashion colleges from Europe and the prize is to have their collection made into a line for H<b>&</b>M <b>to be sold in shops</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Minju Kim is a South Korean native studying at Artesis; the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her collection was called My Dear Friend, you can see the rest of the outfits <a href="http://www.company.co.uk/fashion/hm-design-awards-2013-minju-kim">here </a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Look at her at the end, bounding around. What a cutie pie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The name for the collection and one of the main sources of inspiration for Minju were observations that she made of people around her who were 'disguised' as friends i.e. act like but are not true friends, and that they have ugly sides to them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's amazing how such a cute looking collection can have such dark connotations! I love that juxtaposition. What's even cooler is her sketchbook where you can really see how her mind in working and where she gets more inspiration from.<br />

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by <a href="http://www.barratts.co.uk/">Barratts shoes</a> and was asked if I would be interested in reviewing a pair of their shoes, obviously I said yes because come on it's<b> shoes.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> </b>I chose these <a href="http://www.barratts.co.uk/en/follow-me-studded-ankle-boots-310076">Follow me Studded ankle boots</a> because I'm still obsessed with studs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They arrived really quickly; in about 4 days. I was<b> </b>so excited to get them, I left university a day early than I normally do just to get them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OH MY GOD I DIED.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I kind of wish I bought some winter-suitable boots instead because I
always complain about having cold feet in winter but I can never find
any that I like so I thought 'Why not!' and picked the most death-welcoming pair I could find.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My general shoe criteria is 'If someone is scared they might get injured by my shoes, I am doing it right' so these babes fit nicely into my shoe collection!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love them, they are so beautiful! The studs are blunt so you won't stab yourself or other people accidently when you're walking. I haven't worn them out yet, the reason why (other than the snow) is because they are just <b>so high!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have really small feet and the smaller your feet are, the smaller the heel you can handle. These shoes have a good 6" of heels and even though there is a bit platform they're just that little bit too high to be able to walk around in them for too long. I'm hoping intense ankle stretches before I swear them will help this!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the snow has gone I will be taking these out for a proper walk because I really want to be able to wear them out for long periods of time without injuring myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you so so much to Kieron from Barratts for contacting me and being so helpful with the whole process, and I really enjoyed our chats about Kpop ^_^, and thank you to <a href="http://samispoon.blogspot.co.uk/">Sami</a> for recommending me to him!<br />
<br />
In recent news. I have an interview for a social media internship at a London Street brand tomorrow!<br />
I would tell you who but like... if I don't get it I'll be hella embarrassed. <br />

I have new hair!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple of days before new year, I wanted to try something a bit different because I've had the same boring brown hair for quite a while. It just didn't feel like me so I thought 'Hey, new year, new hair!'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Originally I was going for a dark silver colour but that didn't exactly go to plan because my hair literally turned green.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway 6 hours, 2 days at the salon and £250 later I have blonde hair, thank you to my amazing stylists for rescuing my poor hair, no thanks to <a href="http://www.hair1direct.co.uk/images/wella/colour_5_19.jpg">Wella colorfresh 5/19 toner</a> for trashing my tresses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's taken some getting used to but I really love my new hair. I think it's a lot more flattering on my face than having longer hair, though I really loved having hair extensions down to my waist.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a load of pictures from the Christmas holidays of when I went on adventures with my friends but unfortunately my camera broke and has to either be sent off for repairs or I'll need to get a new one, but hopefully I can upload those soon~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I will leave you with my outfit I wore for New Years day with the family~ </div>

talk you through all the best shops, fashion trends, makeup and even how to put outfits together. It's just adorable. I watched all their episodes, which are pretty short to begin with, in one sitting! </span></span></div>

You know, like, wise grandmas that say stuff like 'I can feel there's going to be a storm tomorrow cos my knees are going all craggy" or in Karen from Mean Girls' case; "I have ESPN or something my breasts can always tell when it's going to rain"<br />
<br />
WELL I have this feeling that the rise of the<b> celebrity Asiaphile </b>is NIGH. Why? Cos these buggers keep popping up all over the place recently.<br />
<br />
When I say Asiaphile, I don't mean like someone with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_fetish">yellow fever</a> or a <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=weeaboo">weeaboo</a>. I don't mean the kind of annoying 14 year old girl wearing cat ears dressed in poor <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ita+lolita&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=8bbYUNrZEKjQ0QWimYG4Ag&biw=1109&bih=533&sei=8rbYUOCuOMLB0gWUm4CICQ">Gothic Lolita</a> fashion that you see at an anime convention with her equally sweaty friends and they're screaming about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaoi">yaoi </a>and dancing to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHBUcnIW_Oc">Caramel Dansen</a>; that shit is just...wrong. <br />
<br />
In this context I mean celebrities who have an interest in some aspect of Korean and Japanese pop culture that are really prominent in their identities or interest, and here's some of the major ones within music and fashion. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're not familiar with Jedward, they're a twin pop
act from Ireland. Everyone here has an opinion on Jedward, good or bad, but I <b>love</b> them. They're well known for a number of reason 1) being [celebrity] twins 2) dressing in
matching Jeremy Scott clothes 3) Big-ass hair. Taeyang and G-dragon seem to be the only people that they actually ever tweet and they frequently tweet Big Bang lyrics and use parts of kpop songs on their youtube videos.Their current twitter display picture is the picture on the far right, I bet they were proud. Bless them.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Grimes is a Canadian experimental musician who is a proud weeaboo and lover of k-pop, siting K-pop girl group SNSD as one of the main inspirations for t<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxC2XLePDWQ">he music video for her song Vanessa</a>. She frequently proclaims her love for G-dragon on twitter and once rescheduled an interview just so she could see Kyary Pamyu Pamyu in concert. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Josie is the wife of American guitarist Steve Stevens. Josie was one of the four rock star wives featured on the show Married to Rock. Josie is a lover of all things kawaii, particularly Hello Kitty and once tried to spruce up her husband's tour bus with Hello Kitty merchandise. She's also a big fan of Japanese street fashion and if any Western celebrity could be called a Gal. she would be it. She nearly always wears blue circle lenses, false lashes, dons hime hair on the occasion and even has her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/JosieStevensMTR?ref=pr_shop_more">own etsy store </a>dedicated to deco, though it's kind of empty at the moment. Total sweetheart!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyone who is into K-pop will know who Jeremy Scott is. American fashion designer Jeremy Scott is the ultimate <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2NE1">2NE1</a> fan boy and practically throws all his designs at the girls. He was seemingly interested in kpop before he started styling the girls but now CL appears to be his favourite human being ever and they're forever flying around the planet to meet each other on their days off to go party. Talk about BFFLz. Wish I could do that...</div>

I don't understand all these multiple personas Nicki has, but she has this one called Harajuku Barbie which is a reference to the street style in Harajuku in Tokyo. Nicki once tweeted that she loves the "Souls" of her Japanese fans (plz don't eat them Nicki). In the picture on the right she's posing with two of the staff from harajuku based brand <a href="http://www.dokidoki6.com/">6%Dokidoki</a>. I'm kind of indifferent about Nicki but she does harajuku style way better than Gwen Stefani, that was just BAD.</div>

So there we have it; Famous Asiaphiles. I think that as our generation of Japanese and Korean pop culture lovers grow up (and as K-pop is on the rise, no thanks to PSY btw, K-pop was massive way before Gangnam Style appeared, just sayin') the number of celebrities in the fashion and music world are only going to increase, <strike>and then we can see people who we know who are all famous and shit and you can be like 'Lol I remember when she cried when she saw SHINee in person' and you can be a dick about about it and you can just kekeke and wwww at all the sarangs and sukis that you have for you your oppas and sempais and everyone else is just like WTF I understand nothing</strike></div>

Don't know who Nichola is? Nichola Formichetti, a Italian/Japanese fashion director and editor, the current creative director of the brand Mugler and is also the guy responsible for Lady Gaga's <a href="http://img.metro.co.uk/i/pix/2010/09/14/article-1284451620202-0B290BE4000005DC-394102_466x712.jpg">meat dress</a>.</div>

If seeing Kyary's glorious face grace the cover of a UK magazine was enough, my friends and I were also lucky enough to be invited to the launch party for it, thanks to absolute babe, Carri Munden of Casette Playa. </div>

The party was pretty fun. There were loads of people that I know from the internet and the East London fashion scene. I wish I talked to them, I just get so awkward around people I think are cool!</div>

They played some kpop which was awesome, not enough if you ask me. Everyone was just standing there while we were flipping out over Fantastic Baby by Big Bang like the losers we are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really hope we get given the chance to go the events like that in the future. There are so many inspiring people in the east London fashion scene and it inspires me to do better in my studies and make a name for myself. I just wish I had some kind of design talent!!</div>
