Phone Blog #1: Casual looks for work

Hi!

Let's try something way more casual and nostalgic. I have been reading old Crooz gyaru blogs and it seems like I had forgoten what blogs were meant to be for me.

So instead of a curated and planned post, I'll keep it casual with weekly or daily phone blogs.

This week my main focus is to use up my wardrobe to the max. I still don't want to wear any of my brand stuff for work, because I'm afraid they will get dirty. I work with makeup and pigments all day, so things can definitely go south real quick.

I did my makeup everyday, even if it was just eyeliner and foundation. Since I broke my glasses and the spare ones fall off my face;;;

Lately Himena is in my mind soooo much. Now I want to follow her old hime era as a lifestyle thing or something. I want to do everyday princess looks! 

However, I have a mullet and I need to grow it so I can style it better. 

Look at her! I got to try looks like this for winter.

I've had many booms, and always stuck to bolder ones... and I probably will still do it, but I want a balance and a change. 

Let's see how that goes (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)

For now these are my looks (not really gyaru) of the week:

My eyelids are a floppy canvas kkkk

I'm really into these liners from work 

kkkkヽ(o＾▽＾o)

Outfits for yestersay and today: 

Sweatshirt: Alie/Skirt:Shein/Shoes: Ozono/Fishnets: Shein

Sweater: ???/Skirt: Ralph Lauren/Socks: Shein/Shoes: FILA

(눈_눈) I definitely need cutest sneakers and comfy everyday flats that are not so sporty.

Also! I have stuff coming up from mercari 

(ಡωಡ)! Ñehehe~ and I'm hoping they all come soon!

In a different topic, yestersay was my 3rd year Anniversary with my luv 💖

I'm so lucky! She's so sweet and we sent each other flowers in our day.

Can't wait to go visit over the holidays!

Anyway... please take care of yourselves! And have a boozy weekend (✧∀✧)/

Bye bye!

Mental Health + Latest Hime Inspo

 

Sup?! I know it takes me forever to do something with my blog. All I have to say, it was easier updating a blog when I was a teenager. 

I've been looking into probably (and I would never say it lightly) being AD. I have not been diagnosed, but I have been going to the psychologist for quite some time now and I definitely struggle with depression and anxiety (officially). I am not going to make this into an awareness post or anything, but lately I have been struggling a lot to do everyday normal tasks. So I guess when I start new passion projects, the rest of my ideas and plans have to take the back seat. If I ever get officially diagnosed, it would make much sense a lot of things that I suffer from. 

To make this a bit more cheerful, my brain has being going a lot towards my dream wardrobe. I have mentioned before that I want to gravitate towards himegyaru and  himekaji as well. You see, that is my dream style... but I know it takes a lot of effort, time and energy. I easily fall into wearing the same things, because they feel safe. So probably, the smart thing to do is to ease the cute factor into my everyday instead of going all the way in.

(I want to try harder... way way harder than this...)

I read some tips on how to start making a small targeted closet, and I am gathering some basic pieces to mix and match. My first step was to gather a moodboard, and look for things that I already have in my wardrobe to go from there. Here's a bit of my board so far: 

I know there is more variety, but I am in love with the A-Line dress+soft cardigan combo ATM. So one of my first looks is definitely going to incorporate that♥ I have started shopping around in Mercari, and after I learned how to use JP Shopping instead of Buyee... my wallet hurts again.

So far I owe the following items:

1 Sleeveless Black Dress/1 Off shoulder black dress/ 1 Peach Sleeveless Dress/ AP Marie Disney Skirt/1 pink maid dress/Strapless Floral A-line dress/1 peasant white top/1 frilly white shirt/ 1 pair of pink pumps/ 1 pair of pink bow mules/ 1 pair of LL gels/pink crocs

Wish List:

Fluffy pink or white cardigan/Cream or white light cardigan/coat/Black Cardigan/Light pink purse/Half-wig/DoCoMo phone♥

Will keep updating my journey, until I reach a decent point where I use it often enough. For now it's a dream in progress♥

Have a lovely week!

Hime Gyaru Look #1 + Short Life Update

 

Hello!

So I have been dreaming, eating and talking about Hime ever since last time you saw me here. I am almost so sick of myself at this point, because I was about to not do this today. 

Then I was thinking really hard on what gal content I needed to make for here and insta. Since I was sick I had almost no energy to do makeup at all nor take care of myself. I had also promised myself months ago that I would give Twitch a go. I feel lonely sometimes, so I think streaming can help me be more outgoing. I did a short test with some friends and I felt so awkward. I used to be energetic and loved being on camera, but the older I get the more stupid I feel. Anyways... a little Animal Crossing won't hurt anyone.

I had a really big "to do" list to finish cleaning my room, bleach my brows and take a shower... Then I did a Insta Reel and proceded to take some photos of a casual but cute bear inspired outfit and since the make was really cute... I took the chance to do one more coord. Overall, my Saturday was more productive than what I give credit to myself for. 

Also, please look at this bear pouch!!! This was a DIY Aoki and I did together while she was visiting. It's a Daiso Bear Pouch, but she made the face ♥ I did one too but mine was💩💩💩💩

💖

Ears: Ebay

Shirt: Marshall's
Overall: Shein

Now, here comes my first official attempt at Hime. It was made with stuff I already owned, but was not confident enough to wear. The story behind this dress is that my GF commissioned two dresses for me last year. One is black and this one was supposed to be pink....  but then when I saw the actual "pink" shade it was more like an orangey/salmon color of some sort... I was both happy and sad at the same time, because the dress fit perfectly, but that pink was a bad choice. I was sad to tell my bby that I did not like the color at all, but she understood. I am just too picky about my pinks, specially when I know the actual shade I need. 

Make

For this make I wanted rosy cheeks, really noticeable and Barbie-like. I didn't use bottom eyelashes, but still tried the droop with some eyeliner and of course tear bags♥

New pair of eyelashes from Aliexpress

This bow I had already, and since I do not own any exte right now... instead I did a little bun-bun high up. I personally think that hair is important, but mostly having bangs in the right area as well as framing pieces. I would maybe get a clip on curly pony tail and style it... I also saw some tutorials I'm trying later both on my hair and in a wig.

Coordinate

My cellphone was not liking me taking photos after sundown... so there are fucked up shadows everywhere. You can't see but I am wearing fishnets and some hold metal accesories … and the shoes are from Alie, but tbh they are a bit uncomfy.  

Overall, this dress has potential, but maybe we can rise the hemline, change the bow on the wait and maybe change the lace on the bottom?

I have more outfits planned, but please be nice to me since it's my first go (lol). I appreciate your concrit! 

For now that is all, I'm so tired and I want to bury my face in my pillows.... Maybe tomorrow will be a chill Sunday. 

Stay tuned for a room tour and a haul! I already started working on those posts♥

Gyaru Life Update: Turning Hime ♥

 

Hello!

Going back to my past in my previous post, I have revived my love for hime gyaru. I've been stuck on mercari for the past few days looking for pieces that I can snatch for myself (althought not all of them are hime). Needless to say, I made a lot of damage to my piggy bank  ....

I have been like crazy, collecting inspiration and taking a closer look to accessories to make my own as well! I have a few materials I bought and that I for sure want to use. So far I've been making simple stuff like bows and clips. I have no occasion to wear a full outfit, but I set my mind to it and maybe I can do some photoshoots for fun and for my insta! 

The idea has been in my head forever, so I want to match my personal aesthetic to what I have always envisioned. Maybe I could also do a little haul post! I'm burning with excitement! 

Now have somewhat of a mood board that I have created to keep myself focused! I also did a visión board for my room and one of my goals was to do a coord, even if it's just once.

Basically, I want the classic white and pink as well as the black and pink combo. Of course there is more than that, but I want to use stuff I already own for this. Also looking for hair alternatives since hot weather is coming up and I want nothing to do with a full a$$ wig. 

As for make-up I'll try mastering that droop one more time! I need to adjust it too look more cute and puppy-like.

For the accessories I've been making... I'm mostly proud of these:

The madness has begun.... now I have to make sure all my pinks match (that's a nightmare on it's own).

These nails I actually made last year in hopes of actually doing a look all together... 

The thumb nail is actually the point and hint of what my first outfit is inspired by.... (any guesses?)

I believe I now could make these with 3D modeling uv clay... but I'm proud of my free hand drawinh and because these were one of my first sets ever! So yes, they wonky AF.

I just hope my first attempt is decent, but I will always keep trying until I feel confident about it. So please let me know how to improve my coords and stuff! 

Thanks for making it this far!

Let me know in the comments what style/trend have you been dying to try and have never dared to?

XOXO-
