the ViVi coordinate

Tadaaa~~ Another coordinate!

[caption id="attachment_2631" align="aligncenter" width="379"] コーディネート[/caption]

LOL. Le me taking photos with my noob camera,(>.<,'')

This one is my choice of coordinate for ViVi star search ,(//A//,) Yessie~ that's what's been keeping me busy last week. Randomly decided to join when I decided I wanted to make a dress about a month ago. I only started planning after I completed my part time job in KL so everything is so last minute. Initially, I wanted to make my own dress to match with the layered lace outer but the fabric I got online didn't turn out as I picture it so I scraped the idea even though I've got my prototype done :S

Didn't have a choice and decided to dig into whatever's available in my tiny wardrobe and came up with two coordinates. Here's the other one~

[caption id="attachment_2665" align="aligncenter" width="356"] コーディネート[/caption]

I don't look the least photogenic in the photos I submitted (,T.T,) I'm not referring to these photos though. The real shot is a full body shot with makeup. I took it with the help of the camera timer. I got 10 seconds to hit the button and then take a few steps back and pose. Then repeat the entire process again until I get a shoot I deemed OK enough. Plus, I didn't have a tripod so I have to place the camera on a ironing board, adjusted so it's high enough to get a whole body shoot. fml.

Anyway, what do you think? ヾ(//v//)ﾉ Which coordinate you like better?

Shopping & Hauls

August 2012 ViVi Malaysia issue is finally out~ Been hunting for one for weeks! X(

 

ViVi Malaysia 3rd Issue

Now I got so many magazines to read. Downloaded the entire 2012 issues of SEDA magazine scans and even Mori Girl Lesson scans I got from a Mori Girl blog I've been frequenting the past weeks. Gonna check out Fudge too after I finish reading all the scans.

OMG, I'm so obsessed with everything Mori these days!!ヾ(＠♡▽♡＠)ﾉ

 

SEDA July2012 Issue

Earlier this year I said I wanted to do some wardrobe overhauling, gyaru-style and now that I've got some time_and some cash_been shopping around KL. I'm IN LOVE with this one boutique at Tropicana City Mall called Lovely Charms Boutique! Frequented the boutique a couple of times and my colleague introduced me to the owner so now we're like good buddies. LOL.

Here's 2 apparels I got from her boutique_a stripe, peplum(?!) top which is so Tsubasa-inspired and this really sweet dress with lace collar. I can never get enough of laces, I tell you!

I actually purchased the top first and overlooked the dress. So when my colleague and I dropped by to chat and I saw the dress and I fell in love at first sight but was strap for cash, she had it reserved specially for me! Obviously, I got it-lah WITH a belt she gave me. I'm loving her boutique more! (TvT/)

 

hauls for my gyaru wardrobe makeover~!

Ooohhh~!!! Also, she has this array of really awesome handmade rings which I also fell in love with! Trust me, I don't remember how so many ended up in my shopping bag（*/∇＼*）

 

swooning over my new collection of rings! かわいい to the max~

Did I mention there'll be a new collection of the rings coming in end of this month? Well there will be. And guess who's gonna be the first to check them out? LOL. If I'm still around KL, that's it. I'm gonna miss the boutique when I get back to my hometown. She does have a fb page but doesn't sell the stuff online... ,(T^T,)

Anyway, here's my accessories hauls this month. Got some really pretty necklaces for my sis and I~

 

prezzie for sis's belated bday

 

pretty boho beaded necklace~!

I wore both the blouse and the necklace(as a bracelet) last weekend when I went hanging out with my bestie~ Paired it with my blush-colored lace handbag I got for a bargain early summer and my scallop lace skants a.k.a. skirt pants I got online ♡

Photo isn't so clear since I only took a quick shot in front of the elevator. Didn't wanna look like a camwhore b*tch there. A lil' too late for that maybe? *shrug*

 

Gyaru コーディ #01!

Other accessories I got~! I'm really obsessed with Gingham checkered, an influence from Ray mag.

 

A pair of earrings and plenty of bows hair clips!

 

While shopping around at Sunway Pyramid, I found this really awesome booth_ Gemini Leather selling colored leather accessories! The bright, bold colored flowers made of leather really got my attention. Swooning over they keychains, earrings and necklace.

OMG. I want them all!!!

Also, I found this shop Mori Zakka, as the name have suggested, the cutest Mori-inspired shop I've ever(and only) come across in KL! Their dressing room is so cute with a tiny window on the dressing room door covered with a curtain. Found a crocheted cardigan which I really like but decided against buying it since it was too expensive... :(

Lots of Love! ☆-(≥vO)v

ViVi Malaysia premiere issue!

Went to One Utama two days ago and while I was checking out the magazine stand, spotted ViVi Malaysia premiere issue! What's more, it's in English too!!

ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ

There's even Ray issue Malaysia&Singapore edition in English!

Grabbed my own copy of the ViVi June issue. I wish I have spotted it sooner, it's almost the end of the month already.

Here's some snapshot from pages of the magazine~ It's a lil' unclear since I took it with the lousy camera of mine. Didn't have the scanner around... ||,(>.<,)|||

Magazine woes

Just got myself this May issue of Popteen with Tsubasa on the cover.

[caption id="attachment_1764" align="aligncenter" width="490"] Translated Chinese version of Popteen[/caption]

Some might have realized this was supposed to be last month's issue but over here, in Malaysia,  they issue Popteen's mags a month later which means I only get the Japanese April issue in May, what's more, they're all translated to Chinese!!! (T^T) Sadness to the max! I purposely went all the way to KL just to find it but couldn't so I decided to get the Chinese version one even though I can't read it at all....

I was actually really eager to try out this one hairstyle here but then found out some of the pages were missing!!! And this includes the hairstyle page and a few others. Like wtf! The original Japanese version has over 150 pages and this one ends at 120-something. Whyyyyyy???!!

__________(,TAT,)________

And because I really wanted to try out the hairstyle, I went hunting for the scans at the site I usually go for my dose of monthly Japanese magazine but....

[caption id="attachment_1763" align="aligncenter" width="490"] Wanna try styling my hair into the bun(bottom left page)[/caption]

... the scan isn't complete (TAT)

Anyone knows how to do that hair updo?
