Weightloss and Gyaru

So! I am totally not posting what I said I would, haha, sorry kids!
But I wanted to blog about something that is a big deal in the gyaru community all over the world really. And that is the factor of weight and weightloss.

I myself have lost weight before and am in the process of losing more as we speak!
But before I get into that I want to talk about the struggles some of us gals face with dealing with trying to be gal, but yet not being the right size.

Favorite Spring Coordinates via Tumblr

Along with blogspot, my blog of choice would have to be Tumblr.
I know you all have 'em, and as we all know they can be a great source of coordinate ideas. People post blog coordinate pictures and magazine scans all the time.

Just because of who I follow I can scroll through my Tumblr dashboard and get tons of ideas and note some amazing coordinates and pieces~

here are some of my favorites that I've seen as of late.
Photographs are property of their respective owners~~~!





I love this girls' style the most:




Either way my preferences run true, haha. I really love natural and light tones. Generally stuff that is light and airy is ideal for living here in Florida. And the light colors do not absorb heat like dark tones do.

Nonetheless~ I'm always happy when spring comes around to see some great coordinates and wear all of my florals~! (though I wear my florals all year long because I'm obsessed, derp)

Well I'm thinking of doing hair accessories next....
That or my haul once my clothes arrive~~~~~~

See you later kids!

Belated Knightrokon post~ and SPRING BREAK!

So at the beginning of this month, I went to Knightrokon.
This was an anime convention held at my University: the University of Central Florida.

While it was very small, and the panels I did visit were not that good. I had a good time seeing friends and getting pretty.



And I met some great friends <3 But~ I don't want to post an incriminating pic haha, so here are their outfits :P you can try guessing who they might be!!
They are both from my gyaru circle! <3 The following week I had Spring Break! Needless to say, I only did ONE THING this Spring Break:
I played me some Animal Crossing or どうぶつの森. One of my favorite games of all time <3
I spent a lot of time at home being lazy. It was so nice to take a break from volunteering and stuff!

Florals~

Some may find it obvious after noticing my wardrobe and the clothing I like to wear, that I have a slight obsession with floral print~





Well needless to say, floral print is a print that works well with both Mori Girl and Gyaru styles, so therefor adding florals should be key to creating the 'mori gyaru' look. Mori girl itself is all about natural beauty and tones. The trend follows people that enjoy nature and looking like they belong in nature as well. While most mori girl style revolves around a natural and light, generally beige tone, incorporating floral prints in accents and sometimes dresses brings an even more whimsical feeling to the look.

The key hear is to keep the look airy- and light.


I'm particularly obsessed with the floral tights that seem to be popular in Mori Girl fashion rather than gyaru fashion.




Some Gyaru brands that tap into florals are as follows:

LIZ LISA


LIZ LISA is probably even famous for their florals. A lot of their items are great spring looks and even fall. This is probably my absolute favorite gyaru brand of all time. I actually got into gal because of this brand. My first trip to Tokyo I saw the shop on 竹下取り(Takeshita-dori) and that really got me going :)

MA*RS even has some floral print~ If you wanna get a sexier look (which is always GREAT!)


While MA*RS typically revolves around deeper pinks with black, and bows, when they do florals, they do it right! I really enjoy this brand a lot and plan to get some things in the future.

La Pafait has some floral prints~



While La Pafait's hime style is a short step away from sweet lolita, the florals in some of their collections are to die for.

I would even take it so far as to have floral nails~



//

Either way, I love florals, and need to definitely add more floral printed items to my wardrobe, especially from Gyaru brands :)

DreamV also has some amazing things at great prices I would like to get when my tax return comes in Yaaaaaaassss~
Click here to visit DreamV's Rakuten shop~!



Well that's all folks!~
See you!

More Frequently!

So I have been doing my makeup more frequently as of late.
I tend to not go all out in my style because I will spend probably close to the entire day at university, or I'm volunteering and teaching lessons at Elementary School.
But something bit me in the ass (partially getting back to blogging and filling out the meme)...and I really just am going to stop being lazy!

On Monday I just did the makeup, and let my hair free.


But on Wednesday I did my hair a bit and while the curls did fall, I ended up with wavy kinda curls that I liked!


I need to use my real camera~~~

Well this was meant to be short~ And I don't have any photos of my outfits because last night I misplaced my iPod!

Gonna get back into blogging! LET'S START WITH A MEME!

Gyaru Manifesto Meme !


Name: Jenn
Location: Orlando, Florida
Occupation: University Student
Height: 5'3"
Hair/Eyes: Medium/Dark Brown

First discovery of gyaru:
I think I first discovered manba waaay back when it was actually done a lot and that first got me interested in the style back when it was much more extreme. I had forgotten about it and really didn't want to work into getting into such an extreme style as manba. Then when I traveled to Tokyo in 2005 I was introduced to a lot of the different subgenres and got interested in it mainly because of Shibuya 109!
