Catch-up Blog Entry (Christmas)...

For christmas I got some cute Mary Jane (?) shoes from my mama which are super cute (especially with  lacy socks)! I also got a mug from my Boyfriend's Auntie which was so cute, and it came with a little father christmas decoration and a ton of tiny marshmallows >.<

 

On a whole different note... I can get my hair to look like this!!! But unfortunately it doesn't last long (only like a couple of hours or something... God damnit!)

And on another note (again, because I've done quite a few things since I've last posted) I made this bag!! Hooray! And it was a success. I take it everywhere now as it holds all my essentials. It's really cute with lace and a pearl button and lilac and cream pattern fabric. I was really proud of myself for making this and I followed this tutorial and it was confusing at first. But that might be because I'm really silly and things don't go in well >.<. Obviously I've changed some features but it's basically the same.

Hope you enjoy!

Catch-up Blog Entry...

This is me trying make-up ages ago trying (note the word trying) to look cute but my roots are so god awful it hurts my eyes... Oh well, concentrating on the eyes now. I bought some fake eyelashes off eBay which look a lot like the eyelashes used in some gyaru make-up. These were okay, they were a bit heavy and I had to proper lift my eyes open to take these pictures... maybe I should have trimmed them or something. I got my hair cut into a bob-like thing, but it's still not really what I want. New hair cut soon methinks. I'm wearing my Geo Bambi Sesame Gray circle lenses! I love them so much! I now wear them everyday to uni and everybody comments! Haha. Anyway... my face:

Today...

I really need to be getting on with some work... However! I went into town today with James to wonder about charity shops and the like and buy stuff! I ended up getting two vinyls for the record player that James should be getting tomorrow (hopefully).

First up was Harry Belafonte from Oxfam! It was £5.99... Totally worth it!! It reminds me of the film Beetlejuice with Wynona Ryder (i love her so much she is the coolest).

Then is was Herbie Hancock who I found in the Record shop in town. This own however was £19.99, but this one I was pleased to part money with. My favorite song is Watermelon Man.

And this is all that happened today... Oh that and....

I got my Madoka Kaname wig of course!

(I'll be sure to make cute pictures as some point...)

Right at this moment I'm trying to learn hiragana. I'm trying to read outloud a story called "Momotarou" (The Peach Boy). It's quite difficult and I forget things easily, oh well!

Wow...

...So I haven't written since Halloween... Oh god. I'm so sorry... Well, to be completely fair, not a lot has happened. I managed to get an A for my first degree project which I was pretty excited about. I went through a phase towards christmas of buying so much stuff off of eBay it was a bit scary. I'm still a bit in that phase but not as much (god it was so bad). I'm also thinking about sorting out my whole wardrobe so it is replaced with cute things! Trouble is, I've already started buying cute things and not actually thrown anything away... Might do a new make-up tutorial soon because I've found a better way of making my eyes look big! Hoorray! I've also made a bunch of things with Onee-chan's sewing machine. Also! Exciting news... Onee-chan was in the Neo Magazine calendar which came with issue 106!! I'm so proud of her! She was entered into the cosplay competition without her knowning! >.<. I'll be posting new stuff up here soon whenever I have some spare time (uni is very demanding apparently).

La Mort

So, suffering a minor hangover after about 3 hours sleep, but a BLT sandwhich and a coffee and everything was fine. It was lots of fun and everyone loved my teeth and I got lots of comments. This is a picture of me and my housemates all dressed as zombies... yes, I know, we looked awesome ;)

(me and my friend really drunk in the photo booth >.<  )

Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone! I'm not doing a lot for Halloween. In fact... I'm not doing anything. Tomorrow night is when there's a party at the SU so that's when I'll properly dress up and I'll take pictures and post them on here because apparently I prefer writing this blog than that blog I actually have to write for my Graphic Communication course. Oops! Anyway, here's a preview of what I'll hopefully look like tomorrow...

I followed this tutorial if any of you were wondering. It was quite tricky. First time completely failed and peeled off my face. I find it works better if you cut the toilet paper with scissors so you get a straight edge and it goes onto your face smoothly with PVA, and with the hairdryer, use cold air otherwise it will crinkle. I also got my new Geo Bambi Sesame Grey contacts so I'm going to wear them as well. Kawaii zombie! Happy Halloween! 

I'm Back!

We finally have the internet again! Well... We've had it for about a week now and it feels so good, but I've been very lazy and not done any blogposts... Gommenasai! But I'm doing it now so it's okay.

Since Onee-chan kindly gave me her sewing machine I've been making so many cute things!! Include frilly socks which are so easy to do. But my main KIY I've done is a cute red riding hood cape. I'm so proud of it as it was my first major sewing project and I thought it turned out really well. I might put up a tutorial depending on whether people like it or not... (then again I might keep it secret and sell them on eBay... Muahahaha). Here are some pictures... Enjoy

                          

                        

New Home!

I haven't posted in a while due to the fact that I've been moving house and that we won't get internet for the next 40 days! I don't know how I'm going to survive! So far we're just amusing ourselves with instruments and Dave the fish and lots (and  I mean lots) of films. I quite liking living with friends, it's lots of fun and we always have a laugh. There will be more KIY coming up because Onee-chan has given me her old sewing machine! Which means I'll be hopefully beginning to make cute stuff, then possibly my own clothes and ultimately... MY OWN COSPLAYS! I'm definitely excited for that moment in time.

KIY (Kawaii It Yourself)

Because I've been bored during the summer holidays I've been making lots of random stuff myself like the collars and things (if you haven't noticed). I got bored of saying "DIY" which to me sounds very manly and would involve some form of wood. I, personally, do not work with wood to make kawaii peter pan collars, key charms and small cute things. So I've decided to called it KIY. Doesn't really have the same ring to it... But I'm sure I can deal with it. Here are some more things I've made recently...

Made some cute cat ear in some hair clips

(No website, it was pretty easy to do myself, very finickity though)

Made a tiny Totoro from a template but halved the size

(also very finickity, but not as much)

And finally, I made a full size template Totoro!

Hope you like my cute creations! I'm happy with them.

Spain

I've just come back from a wonderful sunny holiday in Javea in spain with my boyfriend and his family. I had a wonderful time full of spanishness and I visited the interesting, to say the least, site of Benidorm (it smelt like warm sewers). Here are some pictures...

Me at the beach...

Thank God for table football (I win so hard at this game)

Classic pose in a restaurant

I had a swordfish steak... I love swordfish

A random pretty view

I bought a t-shirt in Benidorm with this logo on it...

I didn't know what it meant I just thought it was really strange and hilarious. Turns out it comes from a comedy programme based around a fish restaurant... I think. Spanish wiki and google translate didn't really make sense. That's the trouble with buying foreign t-shirts... You never really know what they mean. At the airport on the way home one of the security people picked up on it, said a load of things and made an antennae gesture... I just smiled having no idea what just happened.

More DIY...

 As I said in one of my last posts, I attempted to make a felt peter pan collar following this tutorial. It turned out pretty well! The tutorial is really easy to follow so it wasn't difficult at all!

(Purikura!)

I also had a go at making a fox tail charm as they seem to be getting pretty popular and personally I find them really cute! I really couldn't be bothered to spend money on one so I just bought fabric and made one myself. Didn't need to follow a tutorial this time... It was one of the easiest things I've ever made.

(Purikura!... Again!)

Japanese Maid Cafe Love Love Onee-chan Day!

Today was the day I took my beautiful Onee-chan on her birthday present extravaganza! We arrived in London at around 11am and as our booking for the Maid Cafe wasn't until 1pm we decided to go to the V&A because we'd heard about a Lolita exhibit there. I got a bit lost, but the show was in the Japan area of the V&A (of course it was, how silly of me!) and although they only displayed a small amount of outfits, it was enough for us!

As Onee-chan studies archeology we went to the Medieval & Renaissance area as well where we saw lots of really cool stuff!

Japanese Maid Café London

We were both very excited (and I was very nervous) and going to this Maid Cafe because the place where it was held was some run down greek restaurant and it looked a bit dodgy... But sure enough, after some exploration, the maids were downstairs setting up the place and all speaking japanese and we started to have a massive spazz of excitement where I couldn't control my body movements. They were all so cute in their little maid outfits! My favourite waitresses were Rico and Mai, because they were the cutest. Rico played the keyboard and she took requests from the customers whilst Mai was the leader and lead the para para dancing and dressed in a cute fairy dress! They were all so cute! Here are some secret pictures when we were there (because we weren't allowed to take pictures T_T )...

(We got our hands stamped)

(We sat at the 'Death Note' table!)

(Me being weird and a vampire with snacks >.<)

(What the maid did to Onee-chan's food with ketchup! Kawaiiii!)

(The cute maids and their outfits! Secret pictures...)

All in all it was an extremely lovely day with Onee-chan! I hope she had a lovely time as she was very happy on the train back home, but we were both very sad we couldn't spend any more time with the lovely maid waitresses.
