Gyaru One Week Challenge!

Finally it's ready XD I've spent a lot of time thinking about the best inputs for this challenge (also making coords and taking pics LMAO) but now it's here! 

The challenge I made this time was thought for this lockdown period, hoping to inspire more gals into blog posting LMAO (sorry I'm addicted)

I structured it on a week schedule giving a different "theme" to each day :D

The point is to make a different co*de for every day, giving your interpretation to the theme of the day :D

Here is my version, in the end of the post you'll find the challenge form if you want to try it :D

 

Gyaru One Week Challenge

 

 

Monday: A coord that makes you feel comfy

Shirt: Pull&Bear - Sweater, Necklace: Disney - Skirt: Hollister

Shoes: H&M - Acce: 1$store, Flea Market, Aliexpress

 

Nothing says "comfortable" more than a hoodie, sneakers and tied up hair! I also added (fake) glasses (so I don't have to wear cl? XD I dunno) and the whole look is Chie inspired for extra comfort (? is Chie my comfort zone? or am I just too lazy to create a look from the start wwww XD)

Tuesday: A coord that says "spring"

Dress, necklace: MA*RS - Cardi: 

Bracelets: Glamorous Jane, 1$Store - Earrings, hairclip: made by me

Shoes: Local shop, customized with Aliexpress stone clips 

I wanted to wear this co*de since April but the weather didn't allow me to XD Since spring means flowers to me, I decided to assemble a coord inspired to Himegyaru with light colours and lots of cute flowers :D

 And look at the butterflies on my dress ;w; I think it's the perfect print for spring!

Wednesday: A coord that makes you feel cute&romantic

Hat: bought from Georgiepiyo - Shirt: INGNI - Skirt: MA*RS

Bag: Sanrio Vivitix - Boots: Flea Market - Acce: 1$Store, earrings made by me

I wanted to wear this co*de since a lot of time T____T Actually it's inspired to another gal's co*de but I can't find the picture anymore ;_; I want to wear this to go to a cute cafè with my (imaginary) boyfriend, it's my "perfect date" co*de XD

And it goes well with my MyMelody bag which I never get to wear XD

♡Earrings Details♡

 

Thursday: A coord that makes you feel badass

Whole outfit: d.i.a - Necklace: made by me - Shoes: LITA

For some reason I think I look more sweet with skirts and tougher with pants, so XD when I want to feel "tough" I prefer pants and those d.i.a denim ones are the best! I took inspo from Soul Sisters photoshoots, their d.i.a looks were always soooo badass, I love the "thug" feeling they had :D

 

Friday: A coord to party hard

Setup, bra, necklace: d.i.a - Shoes: Local Shop - Acce: 1$Store, Flea Market 

 

♡Back Details♡

This is my "passepartout" for parties lol

Parties for me mean beach party, I usually don't go out a lot but there are a few parties I go every year with no exceptions and those are always in summer, on the beach! So I use this co*de a lot when I don't know what to wear XD I love that it shows my back and my tattoo, I think it is really sexy ;3 and it's really comfy too! It has also pockets so I don't really need to carry a bag, if I do I just wear a waistbag and it's enough ~ so I can dance comfortably (and I avoid being robbed cuz it happened last time I carried a bag at one of those parties lol) 

 

 

 

Saturday: A coord that makes you feel like a celeb

Setup, bag: Rady - Tank top: Skinny Lip - Shoes: H&M 

Sunglasses: Playboy - Acce: Ma*rs, Roxy, AlbaRosa

For me, Rady is the celebrity brand XD maybe because my favorite models wear it, but a Rady setup combined with brand sunglasses really makes me feel like a celeb in disguise, on her day off XD the pink marble print (which my light ring washed off -_-") is so elegant but the setup still looks casual, it's perfect for celeb look imo!

 

Sunday: A coord for a family dinner 

Dress:   - Jacket: Tralala

Bag, hat: bought used - Acce, boots: Flea Market 

When I meet my family my dressing choice is often onee or himekaji! This dress in particular is my mom's favorite, she really likes it and since I want her to like me I often wear it on family dinners lol when I was young we spent too much time fighting cuz my other styles like agejo or tsuyome are too revealing for her, so I found this way to compromise~ also the dress is really large on the waist so I can hide my food belly LMAO

 

That's it XD what do you think? Do you like my co*des for this challenge? Would you change anything? 

Anyway here's the challenge form without my blablabla XD:

 

Monday: A coord that makes you feel comfy 

Tuesday: A coord that says "spring"

Wednesday: A coord that makes you feel cute&romantic

Thursday: A coord that makes you feel badass

Friday: A coord to party hard

Saturday: A coord that makes you feel like a celeb

Sunday: A coord for a family dinner

You can obviously post old coords to make this challenge (I made it for entertainment, not for a real challenge XD), the matter imho is that you try to explain a bit why you choose them, that's all :D I hope it's fun for you at least how much fun it was for me :D I can't wait to see yours! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ 

Pls tag me or send me the link if you decide to do it!

Ok that's all for today, I hope this post wasn't boring (btw the next challenge will be about makeup, so don't worry I won't make only coords challenges XD)

See you soon and take care of yourself!

 

 

Yours, Natsumin~

SamiiChu accepted the challenge! Her week here 

EGG 05/09 inspo post!

Actually it's afternoon but I took the pictures this morning

Hello again! As I promised finally here's the post about May '09 issue!!

May is almost over but let's just pretend I did it at beginning of the month www
So! What about this issue? Guys I loved it ;___; The trends for this month are my favorites I can't believe ittttt

I have to say that I don't speak japanese at all, so I'll try to write down just my impressions, if I say something wrong please tell me in the comments! And sorry for low quality, but seems like I can't avoid blurred pics in bad light, sorry (￣▽￣*)ゞ

Anyway now let's take a look through the magazine, shall we?

Here you can already see what the most important trends are for this month: pink and marine!

There's a lot of sub-trends (is it really a word?) but imho those two are the connecting thread between them, cuz pink is really present like, EVERYWHERE, and marine means blue and red combined with white and stripes, which lead to the other trends

1. Marine theme, lots of blue and stripes with red/white/black accents

 

2. Romantic Casual, mostly flared mini dresses

 

3. American Casual, intented as a sort of toned down amekaji

4. Preppie, I love this cuz it's trending now too XD

5. Simple Glamorous, and it looks like a Cecil McBee runway wwww

6. Bohemian Safari cuz summer is near and what screams summer more than thisss! I used to call this "coachella style" LMAO cuz it looks like the perfect style to party on the beach!

Also black x white is really a trend in anyway you wear it, rock style or girly style

 

Now the real big trend: PIIIIIINK XDDDD in every shade, shape and pattern XD

 

 

I love so so so much that they made a lot of different coords with pink accents, like I love the coord Kanako is wearing, the pink is in her skirt! O the one Nori is wearing, the pink accent is in her stockings, how cute is that??? T___T

 

 

I also loved the suggestion of using pink in your accessories instead of the clothes, like a blackxwhite coord with pink shoes or bag:

 

For the second big trend: Marine theme! This time is more intended as the combo red x blue x white

 

 

I also loved the idea of "colorful marine" www if you don't want to use red or blue you can do it in other colours, like purple or pink!

 

 

And now my fav part: STREET SNAPSSS 

 

Naisu JSG article (more like an AD lol) 

 

 

Looks more like bodyshaming but OMG YUMACHI 

 

The usual "school trend" part! All about accessories~ 

 Looks like this bean doggie thing is really popular, I want it too www 

 

Now for the makeup part! I'm sorry for the teared page but I still don't know how to fix it (if I used tape it would've reflected light even more than this and I don't know if it would be visible www)

 The Holy Trinity

Last street snaps!  

 

And that's it! I hope you liked this issue even if the pics weren't in good quality ^^"

I tried to take them for all the past week (LOL) but it was always too dark inside and looks like I can't stop shaking when holding my phone www sorry, I'll try next time to improve them!

Next issue will be June '09 :D I'll probably start tryin to take pics now wwww

See you next post and take care!

 

Yours, Natsumin~
