[Sorry For My Extended Absense] TT^TT

Why hello there my fuzzy friends :) Today I am making a terribly over due blog post... I've been DROWNING in work. And actually I have finals next week.. but I really felt like blogging. I did a lot of work and then I was like... "How about a blog post?"

So recently I've been getting into gyaru fashion. Like a lot. I'm not like a "super-hard-core-hime-gyaru-i-wear-so-much-makeup-you-have-no-idea-what-i-look-like-i-only-buy-jesus-diamante-clothes-because-im-that-hard-core" gyaru. I would describe MY lovely self as a "Hime-kaji-gajin-gyaru" (princess-casual-foreign-gal). I really like it. I asked a friend of mine a while ago, should I go ulzzang (it's like a korean gyaru in it's own way. You really have to google it if you don't know what it is. A lot more 'natural' but at the same time the models are ridiculously photoshopped.), or gyaru. She said ulzzang because gyaru's look scary. Well yes if they have beehive hair and are super hardcore old school. But I don't plan on being that way. 

I am no longer a big fan of circle lenses. I mean I LIKE them. But I haven't found any that I'm like "OMGIMUSTBUYTHESERIGHTNOWORIWILLDIE." Everytime I look I find some I like and then I think about what else I could buy and forget about it. Basically. So I'm not a big circle lens wearer. Plus most people say they like my natural eyes anyways.

As a high school sophomore I'm swamped though... So I will probably be inactive... Well that's a lie, I am going to write up two blog posts and upload the other one in like a week just so they aren't one after another hehe ^^

Now enjoy some pictures! 

Me today! Hehe studying and writing up my own study sheets. Well I did 6 out of 22 chapter for my AP World History class, but for the more recent chapter I believe my memory is pretty good :) I love history so it's fine.. Not looking forward to finishing the speech I have to write + writing notes for geometry (what I am doing after this....)

me today again! I changed outfits :) I went out for breakfast with my dad and stepmom + my best friend and her parents :) It was fun! 

me today AGAIN. this was my outfit :) (though I changed the boots because my stepmom told me I should when I asked)

Palty Hair dye :) They are the same color, just one box has Tsubasa and the other doesn't. I'm honestly SICK of dying my hair. This color is pretty close to what my natural color looks like, so in a few weeks I am going to try and change my hair, wish me luck!

my outfit yesterday! I went out and bought the hair dye that day XD I was ACTUALLY wearing circle lenses because I was lazy and didn't get ready so i rushed. This is on instagram btw :)

some of the clothes I ordered from "Tralala" (A brand off of Liz Lisa), everything but the shoes :) sorry I look icky. It was right after school :(

m What I got from "Tralala", a blouse, a sweater, a fake layered piece, a skirt, and a plaid shirt. Along with a really cute beanie and earrings! Cost about $120+$50 shipping = $170ish

me like last week... studying ><

before I went out one day. I thought I looked cayoote.

my first order from Liz Lisa... <3 Everything was cute. Though I wish I got the pink blouse in white... But it's fine! I don't have that shade in my wardrobe so I'm happy. Very blessed <3

this is NOT ME for the record. It's Kotakoti (Dakota Rose). Just wanted to point out how jelly jelly i am of her clothes. TT^TT

this was while i was visiting my hometown :)

and this is me before I dyed my hair red! and then I dyed it purple.. So it's a lot of colors. BLEH

So if you have any advice for me being a better gyaru please tell me >< I want to improve! All criticism will be appreciated. If you have any idea's for future blog posts comment or if you have any other way to contact me, try that way! I will be posting pictures of my magazine collection once more of the ones I ordered come in! And my (small) gyaru wardrobe :)

I feel so happy and blessed that I am able to afford all these things that I love and that I can live this lifestyle. I promise to work hard in the future so I can continue to live the way I love! <3

[KCON EXPERIENCE]

Hello everyone! It's been awhile, I know :( Two weekends ago I attended KCON! What? You don't know what KCON is????? AIGOOOOO. Well KCON was a Korean cultural event, with the added bonus of a KPOP concert! Featuring the following performers: BAP, GN.A, EXO-M, VIXX, Nu'est, and 4minute. Awesome right? So lets just get into the experience.... Well a really brief experience thing..

NOTE: THERE ARE NO PICTURES IN THIS REVIEW. WHY? BECAUSE ALL THE PICTURES I TOOK TURNED OUT POORLY, I PROMISE YOU CAN FIND BETTER PICTURES BY JUST GOOGLING THE ARTIST YOU WISH TO SEE WITH KCON ATTACHED TO IT. <3

The day for me started off a bit late, I believe I rolled in at about 2pm? I honestly can't remember that much... But I CAN remember that it was HOT. I saw all these little asian girls in skinny jeans and I was just looking at them like "HOLY CRAP HOW ARE YOU NOT ON FIRE YET?", seriously. I was wearing shorts and burning up... I thought the organization of the event was pretty good, it wasn't like wonderful (they could have done a lot more to make it better for everyone) but all in all good job! Oh, and I saw Simon and Martina of eatyourkimchi, NO BIGGIE. XD I love them for your information.

Now for the part you all probably care about, THE CONCERT...

Well to start off the show I believe it was BAP, I really like BAP! And I was just like in aw, just being all like "o m g we are breathing the same air. I'm going to faint.", I screamed, but not that much. I was saving my voice for a certain group ;D They performed 3 songs I think? I know 'NO MERCY' was the first one, but I can't remember the others XD they were amazing, I love BAP. One of my friends says me and Zelo are her OTP (only true pairing) ^^~ YAY

Next was GN.A I think. Lemme start off by saying she looks so odd in person to me, like disproportional. Big boobs and toothpick legs... Not a fan. And her outfit COULD have been cute, but with the bling or whatever on it it looked really cheap... She didn't sing live either. She did like the 'SO HOT' song and 'BLACK AND WHITE', maybe 'TOP GIRL'... I dunno. She MC-ed most of the night... 

Next was... VIXX? I am SO unfamiliar with this group so they were performing and I'm all like "I've never heard this in my life.". They seemed really nice on stage, they didn't seem to have anything that made me be like "OOOO ROOKIE MISTAKE", so good job. I didn't really like any of their songs OTHER than the one that I believe is called "superhero", or something along those lines...

Then came nu'est, OH REN. He's so pretty in person, though I was watching him the whole performance and he looked OH SO THRILLED to be there. They did really well I thought, I was quiet impressed. I wanted to hug them all. ;D They performed 'ACTION', 'FACE', and that other cute song... I can't remember what it's called but they released an MV for it... Hopefully you know what I mean.

AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR THE ONE THE ONLY... EXO M.

I seriously almost peed myself, (1) because I had to pee SUPER badly already, (2) maximum screaming, (3) maximum jumping, and (4)... IT'S FREAKIN' EXO M. I think I screamed all 20 minutes they were on stage. My voice was like D E A D. I kept screaming "LUHANNNNN! BAOOOOOZIIIIIII! TAOOOOOO! -insert everyone else-".. It was hardcore. They performed 'History', 'Angel', 'What is Love', and 'MAMA'. It. Was. Awesome. AND KRIS DID AEGYO. 
YOU DID READ THAT CORRECTLY. HE DID AEGYOOOOOOOOO. 'buing buing'. omg THEY ALL DID AEGYO. I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES. There was SO much screaming. They were so good live T^T i was not worthy. I'm so biased doe XD

Lastly, 4minute. If you know me you know I am not a fan of them really. They were good in the beginning and now it's just become sad... Plus Gayoon wasn't there, which made it extra lame. I think they performed 'Volume Up', 'Mirror Mirror', 'Hot Issue', 'HUH', and maybe another song... Not sure ;/ They were good, looked awkward without Gayoon.

Over all I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed my time at KCON. The concert was super fun and the convention was too! Hope to go next year and see more idols!! :)

[XIA JUNSU LIVE IN LA] concert experience! :)

Hello my dearies! :) I talked about this a while ago buuuuut I've been SUPER busy with school so I haven't gotten the chance to post this D: I attended this concert Saturday September 2nd, 2012. So this post is just pictures and my experience in general. 

I flew from where I live to LA on Saturday, arriving there around 2-3pm, we stayed at the 'W' hotel (IT'S A SIGN.), it's a really nice hotel... So many beautiful people were there, model's and such... I was so jealous.

So we got ready in our room and walked over to where the concert is, getting there at 5pm. We waited in a HUGE line from 5pm to 8:30pm... It was supposed to start at 8pm but the mangement was terrible, so that didn't happen. Our tickets were VIP, which meant we got to be much closer to the stage then most people, it was pretty frickin' awesome. NOW ONTO EXPLAINING MY PHOTOS.

This was towards the end of the concert, his last outfit. This photo's are from my phone so this is like in reverse order of how it happened .__. i dunno

This was the opening screen for the concert, pretty swagged. I was screaming my brains out. ermahgawd

The sexy TARANTALLEGRA outfit. Approving on so many levels.

OOOO YOU SO NASTY. Grandpa Junsu from the 'BREAK OUT' mv returns?

Just appreciate this.

He's so ellegant and beautiful. Like homagawd. He's so gorgeous in person. You don't even understand. Like I never knew such beautiful people exsisted. 

He sat down and sang all his ballads. I was dying. I am a die hard ballad fan + Junsu's voice. LE LOVE.

He was seriously like this close. Dead

sexy chair time..

I would also like to mention how I met and took a picture with STEPHANIE UNCLES, aka the blonde girl in the 'UNCOMMITED' MV, I also just recieved my 'UNCOMMITED' single in the mail~ Tell me if you want me to review stuff like that!!

And one more thing that occured in the concert.

1) After he finished performing 'FEVER' he looked through the crowd of people and DIRECTLY at me. We just made like 15 second eye conntact, which felt like 3042549028 hours. <3 I just smiled nicely and nodded. I was dying. If it was Yoochun I might of died.

2) At the end of the concert Junsu starting crying. </3 he was so touched by all the dedicated fans who love him so much. Junsu deserves every bit of the love he recieved.

3) Junsu attempted to dance to 'GANGNAM STYLE', it was so adorable. I hate that song but Junsu is amazing.

4) Junsu's pants ripped during the performance, BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE D;

5) Junsu's butt looks amazing in person.

6) At the end of the concert there was this girl that started crying so I hugged her awkwardly. Girl who I hugged if you are reading this I AM SORRY.

[GYARU INSPIRED] ulzzang time! (well..gyaru time?)

Hi you guys! Been a while, huh? I started school the 27th, so I've been majorly busy.... Sorry TT^TT But I promise I'll try to update as much as physically possible <3

SO ANYWAYS. Today's post is a japanese 'Gyaru' look. If you don't know what a gyaru is, google pictures of it, that'll give you the best idea of it. I don't know any technical things about gyaru's to be honest, but I think their style is amazing!! One of my biggest inspirations for this was Tsubasa Masukawa, aka the girl who made all the 'Dolly Wink' cosmetics! :) She's awesome. 

Now LETS GET TO IT!

So this is the makeup I did :) Usually gyaru's have much more intense makeup, but this is very basic 'natural' gyaru makeup hehe~ I am wearing false eyelashes on the outer corners of my eye, extending on the winged eyeliner to try and make my eyes look bigger! I am also wearing circle lenses, Pop C lenses in grey... Currently on sale at 'lensvillage.com' (not paid to advertise, they just have good prices so I reccomend them to everyone!) the makeup I did was pretty simple, and what I have been wearing a lot recently! Just use a shimmery pretty 'close-to-your-skin-tone-neutral-color' all over your lids, and then blend brown into your crease, starting with a light brown and blending that pretty high and out to the side of your eye, this will make your eyes appear larger. Then after that just start using darker and darker shades of brown! I usually use 2-5 colors, and you can also use black just on the outer 'V' of your eye :)

So for my hair all I did was curl it with a flat iron, and straighten my bangs :) Which I cut straight across. I LOVE THEM! <3 I'm wearing my bow from AnimeNEXT, earrings from forever21, and shirt is a hand me down from my big sister haha!

This was me 'posing like a gyaru'. I saw one gyaru posting pictures like this so I figured "HEY THIS IS GYARU LIKE I'LL TAKE PICTURES LIKE THIS!", because usually I do not photograph myself like this. It looks really weird to me. >.>

Awkward KT is awkward.

I know, I know... I don't know me either. BUT THAT HIPPO IS JUST SO BLOODY CUTE. I think I'm going to name him Oliver. Fitting?

The llama is just so cute though guys...

Okay! So that's all for today's blog post! I might actually have another one up but I'm not 100% if I really want to make one... It would be about Kim Junsu's performance in Los Angles that I went too... Comment if you want me to make a post about that!
