Skinny Lip


I've been away for a while again. I guess mostly because I've been really cranky about being out of money, haha. I wish I could depend less on coins and bills. But a shopaholic is always a shopaholic. I must admit I have been kinda good at keeping my hands off a lot of things the last two months. Though I placed an order at Skinny lip's web store the other week cause I really needed a new set of spring clothes. Or did I reaally??

Anyways I will show you the stuff I got from Skinny lip little by little. 
Here's two recent outfits and hairdos :D I ordered a tripod so I'm actually thinking about doing a tutorial for each hairstyle when I get it.. we'll see. 
 
The baby blue top I wear in the left picture is one of the gets from Skinny lip.. and also the black cross front camisole. I really loved those tights I wear in the right picture. Though they're so thin they get ripped so easily.. I guess I'll just go for normal net tights from now on instead of net patterned ones (;___;)

And OH! I know.. I caught myself wearing my d.i.a. belts in like EVERY SINGLE PICTURE lately. It has to change. I guess it's just because I like them so much and even though I have a lot of other belts there's no other that goes with this style as good as the d.i.a. belts. Thought about ordering some from Skinny lip next time but I'm not sure of the size (>__<) 
Also want a new pair of d.i.a. shortpants. Hmm.. Smells like a shopping spree coming up! (^-^)

Some other things I need to do is:
  • Remove my extensions
  • Dye my hair again. It's not gray anymore :(
  • Get a haircut
  • Put in new extensions
  • Do my nails
My extensions are so damaged at the moment I should be ashamed of not removing them yet. Maybe I can use this weekend to do my hair.. it's kind of urgent. LOL xD   
 
Last of all I just wanted to show you this super cute iPhone case I got the other day! I actually bought two since I dropped the first one so badly it broke the first day. Haha. That's just my luck. I'm impressed I succeeded on not dropping it while crossing the road and got it runned over by a truck.. 
It's a little bit big and hard to hold but I'm still so much in love with this one! Probably the best case I've found for my phone this far^^

Now I'd probably go back to what I was doing before writing this post - nothing. Haha. I caught a cold some days ago and had a fever and so on so I haven't been feeling very well. Though some of my friends have been so sweet coming over with medicine, food, drinks and last but not least - a lot of love. So at least I haven't been lonely and somehow it didn't feel that hopeless being sick either. Anyway the fever is gone now and I'm feeling much better so I hope I can go back to do some homework tomorrow!

See you soon!

Back to school after spring break - oh my!

Good day XD

Today I went back to school because we had orientation about next semester.. that starts in Monday already (.__. ;) I don't really know where this spring break went or what I did. Or well, I slept most of the time which I kind of regret now, but on the other hand I guess I needed it. I'm totally broke so I couldn't do so much fun stuff anyway. Hehe.

At least I went to the park with Jonna last week and had a lot of fun. It was national holiday though so there were so many people.. EVERYWHERE! The pictures below is from that day - before my hair died completely from wind and bla bla... At least we had sunshine^^



I've started to part my hair in the center instead of the side and I like it quite much^^ Never did before actually.. Though the gray color almost disappeared so I have to dye it someday soon. I have the haircolor.. just have to find the energy to do it, haha^^

I got a comment on the last entry asking me if I use palty, and the answer is: no I don't. I use Sugar Ash from Freshlight Blythe - Schwarzkopf Japan. I think I've been writing about this haircolor before but some of you might have missed it.

Anyway I really recommend these series - especially the foam-type. Last time I dyed my hair I actually only used ONE package and it was enough to cover all my hair (and as you see I have a lot of it, haha). The result gets nice and even as well! If they stop producing these series I'd probably shave of my hair and get a wig instead! XD

There's yet two days in total freedom before school starts for real.. I wonder what I should do with these. Except for dying my hair I have a couple of things that I have to clear though.. like paying a couple of bills and send a fax to the loan company back in Sweden. Though I have a feeling that when it's done I'll just go back to sleep, haha. But I'd like to go to the park one last time before getting serious again. Actually some of the Cherry trees are already blooming so perhaps... perhaps I'll gather some friends and go to the park again^^

Hellooo!

Just a quickie update before I go to bed!
I will go to the park with Jonna tomorrow so I have to wake up in time so that I won't be late^^

Here's some snaps of the result from when I dyed my hair & extensions. I really love how it turned out.. I was really surprised when I saw that the pink highlights turned a little bit more purple. But I like it. It goes well with the grey tone I think^^

Also I have been practicing this - slightly - lighter make-up lately. What do you think?

Welcome to my Home Sweet Home!

Hello!

You remember that I promised to get some pictures of the apartment? I got them! Haha. Actually I woke up pretty early this morning and had plenty of time to do housework. I started out cleaning floors, bathroom, washing.. you name it! After a while it looked pretty decent so I decided on taking the pictures today^^

So.. first out will be a picture from the entrance.. This is what you see the moment you step inside my door. It's small, the kitchen is tiny.. but I like it. I live alone after all so I don't have to crowd with somebody else. If it was bigger I wouldn't mind.. but it isn't so I stick to guests instead of roomies, haha ;D

The bathroom is a small all-plastic-something untit bath. I can't say much about it actually.. except that it's tiny, haha. Two persons in here is TOO MUCH! hah. And that goes even for tooth brushing.
And since it's so small it's hard not to get anything wet, even though I have a shower curtain. That's why I can't do much in here for decoration. But at least I found some cute jelly hearts to decorate the toilet with^^

And then it's my room..
I decided long before I moved in that I absolutely shouldn't buy anything pink this time and make it more like black and purple. That.. I can say... fell instantly when I found the curtains. It was love at first sight! Then I made the discovery that they are a Sakurina produced item! So I looked around a little bit more and was happy to find a futon cover in the same design^^

So there went my ideas of a black/purple room.. out the window!


I maybe mentioned that we went to IKEA the same day as the move. And I actually bought two of my absolute favorite items there. I only took pictures of one of them - but they are like small round lamps with a lot of tiny holes in them. When lit they also spin round and round and make small lights run over the walls and the ceiling like stars^^ Very pretty!

Another favorite item - as you saw in one of the previous entries - is my Gloomy bear vinyl figures, hihi^^ Why I upload another picture of them is because their group grew by one... a big one.. haha. I have been searching for a nice and cute piggy bank for a while now since I'm hopeless at saving money. And the other day I tripped over this Gloomy bear bank.. so I had to buy it^^ And another good thing is that I actually use it too! :D

So.. that was a little bit about my room. So now you know how it looks like and where I hide away when I can't go out because of money loss, haha.

And yeah! I dyed my hair today and it turned out pretty okay - though it was a war against all the hair! Seriously, hair everywhere!
I'll show you piccies later. Gotta sleep now!

Take care now, byebye then ;)

Birthday outfit

I can't believe I've been on spring break for 2 weeks already! Time flies!!

This week I have been really low since I've caught a cold, a fever AND my voice disappeared. Though I think the last one isn't only because of the cold.. actually I went out to celebrate my birthday this Monday together with my friends Jonna and Simone. And I think that a little bit too much alcohol and karaoke may have killed my voice, haha. But it's beginning to get back to normal... except from the famous nasal voice you always seem to get together with a cold.

Oh well.

This is me befor going out this Monday. I wouldn't chose those shoes if I had any other that could match the outfit better.. but I don't so.. :(

And maybe you can tell from the haircolor that I put in some new extensions..? I was actually supposed to dye my hair BEFORE I went to the salon, but it all failed.

Why?
Well. I will make it short.. I didn't plan on doing the hair the day I did it but something that made me really frustrated came up and suddenly I had new hair..
Guess I tend to spend money when I'm stressed or frustrated, haha. Too bad I didn't keep in mind that I hadn't dyed my hair yet..
Although I can always dye the extensions as well, so... no big deal I guess^^

Big and small friends

Hello!

How's everyone lately?
It makes me really happy to see that you have patience to follow me even though I quite suck at updating lately. Anyway. It's been a little bit more than two weeks since I moved to the new place. I really love it! And finally I've got rid of almost all trash that came with the moving (such as carboard boxes and paper bags..).
I even got a TV from the real estate, woho! It gives me a little bit comfort when I feel lonely, haha.

I promise to upload pictures of the apartment as soon as I've tidied everything up.. because there's still a little bit left. Same goes for the "final touch" ;D


Anyway I have put up some small things to give the room a little touch of me, haha.
For example I put up my small army of Gloomy Bears by the TV. Originally they're limited edition for a convenient store called Family Mart that you could win in a lottery they arranged. Though I was lucky to find them all in a small collectors store in Nakano Broadway^^

Grenade apple / Mango / Kiwi
Aren't they cute?^^

And the other day I got a call from Shou asking if he and Shiraishi-kun could come over. Of course they could! We had a couple of beers together and chatted for a while until the boys fell asleep on an extra futon (japanese matress) I had prepared for them. I find hanging out with friends at home is really relaxing and fun.

Unfortunatelly we never played Wii, which we actually talked about long before they came over. But I guess we we're just all too tired to think of it, haha.

So next time I hope that I have some more interior pictures to show you. Actually I'm on spring break from this friday until the beginning of April so I should have plenty of time to arrange something^^

Once again, thank you for having such patience with me. I don't think my own mother would have such patience.. you see.. she's always like "C'mon, you haven't updated your blog for like 2weeks! I wanna see what you're up to!". Haha^^

Well well. I guess she's right!

I'm going to bed now because I have a lot to do tomorrow. Hope you're all doing fine!
See you soon!

Exhsusted

Hi everyone! We finished moving at like 3AM this morning but didn't fall asleep until 6AM :O I'm so tired! And of course the Internet guy (who was kinda cute actually^^) came earlier than decided so I had to open the door for him around 9AM. Though he didn't bother me that much. I actually almost fell asleep during the time he was here xD

Anyway.. I'm blogging from my phone again so I can't give you any fancy entries but here's a picture of what the room looks like atm.
Horrible I know, I will show you pictures when everything is in place.

AAAAND I bought a set of curtains that Sakurina produced, but they where too short so I have to buy new ones today (ーー;) this always happens to me. And I left the receipt at the register so I can't change them for longer ones..gaaaah. I usually never leave a receipt at the register unless it's food or drinks I buy. So typically me!

Nail update from my iPhone

Woh! I'm on my way home from school and it's just 11:10 in the morning! Actually I just went there to talk to my teacher about how school is going and so on. I'm changing major from shop design to interior coordinator :)

Anyway, I'm moving today so I have to hurry back home to get the keys for the new apartment^^

But the main thing for this entry was that I wanted to show you my new nails! I did it my self again.. Practice practice!!

I probably will update again later today^^ see you then!

End of 2nd Stage

I've been away from blogging for a while again. Basically because I have been really busy in school. For this past week we had like at least one presentation every day.. huuuuh. Finally over though. Now I'm off school until wednesday because all the lessons for this semester is over.

I don't have much to say at the moment I'm afraid. But I was thinking of at least showing you some of the clothes I got lately. Went to 109 with Shige (though we broke up the other day..) about 2 weeks ago and I got some new d.i.a. items of course. I bought all of the tops myself but Shige wanted to buy me a pair of jeans so he did^^.. and - I actually fin in them! WOHOO!





Then I took a look at the 109 web store to see if there was any good pieces left on sale and I found three camis from Gilfy that I really liked so I ordered them right away! You can't get enough camisoles anyway^^



Theeeeen, I went to Don Quijote to get new lashes and stuff for my nails.. and make-up etc. Bought both acrylic primer and acrylic liquid for building new nails since both of my bottles were empty. I can't wait to do new nails, I just have to find the time for it...




Perhaps I'll do a nail tutorial or something as well, just to show you how I do when I build my nails.. though it feels like everyone's doing nail tutorials lately and I want to upgrade my skills before I show you anything^^ haha. But I'll work on it!


As for the lashes and make-up part I bought a big amount of lashes.. actually Sakurina's "Fairy lashes" were on sale at Nakano'd Don Quijote so I justdecided on buying some extras... and also try out some new pairs I haven't tried before..

And finally I decided on buying NYX glitter cream palette cause I haven't tried that one before either AND I have been searching high and low for the perfect-super-glittery-eyeshadow. Unfortunately it wasn't really what I expected so I guess I'll just keep on searching... haha.



Lalala, that was pretty much it. I will be enjoying another two days in freedom until I have to go back to shool to watch the presentation of the people wo are going to graduate.. then we will have some workshop thing in the end of this week I think.. though nothing too exhausting I hope ;)

I guess I have to go to bed soon cause Tim is coming here at like 1PM to drink coffee tomorrow... haha.. well, swedish people love drinking coffee and talk about... stuff... haha.. anyways.
Have a wonderful night/morning/day!!

The "me me me!!" post

Hey there!! I'm just making a very quick uptade (in fact in panic) before I go to bed. It's already 3:40AM here and I have to get some rest tonight since I spent all last night up doing this and that to get everything done for school..

AND.. I have big news.
Unfortunately my roomie is going home next month :( This means I have to move.. I have been kinda worried since I don't have enough money to get an apartment at a japanese real estate yet. But as I started looking around on the website of the real estate I use at the moment I found an apartment that just kept calling for me. So today I went to ask if it's still available - and it was!! Which means... drrrrrdadadadadaaa!! *drumroll* - I'm moving into central Shinjuku next month! How convenient^^

Anyway.. Here's some pictures filled with narcisism (and so on) of hair, make, outfit and nails that I took this morning before going to school!





Close up on the nails - that I actually made my self! I made them with plastic nail tips and acrylic (powder+liquid)
This is not the first time I make nail extensions by myself, but I was kinda pleased with the result^^ I'm still in training so don't expect too much from me ;) haha. Also you can spot some messyness around the corners but it disappeared after washing my hands a few times^^



Lately I even started to like my extensions straight.. though they're so damaged right now that they get messy in like 20secs.. anyway.. I took these pictures the other day..



And at last I want to thank all of you that are following me! I noticed you're now 500+ sweeties that shows interest in my blog and that makes me happier than ever^^
It also gives me even more motivation to update more often (promise - not only egoistic pictures of myself, haha).

That was pretty much it for today. I think I will be rather busy this week but as soon as I have time I will figure out something interesting for you to read about ;)

Take care until then!!
