crying over tutuHA & barbie gossip aqua

Yay, finally I have some time again to blog. So, do you remember the tutuHA shirt I bought?


Can you see what happened? The colour went off, especially that on those parts that appear as horizontal creases ; ;' (Since that kind of fabric is heavy and smooth, it's not suppose to have any vertical creases when it's hanging like that...) Actually those parts around the belly area that appear lighter ARE really that light because the colour went off. You might be able to see it well here, in the back.


Of course, it is kind of my own fault but I didn't expect the colour to go off so easily. I was wearing this top in summer, which means, hot and humid japanese summer. This shirt made me sweat a lot because it wouldn't soak up the sweat or anything (the fabric is really... plastic-like, which I even liked because it has a shiny effect, but I didn't know it would all end up like this ; ;).
Anyway, I'm quite disappointed by this shirt... I really like it and all I can do now is wear it beneath other shirts because I think if I wash it will even be worse.
Does anyone have similar experiences with tutuHA? I'd really like to buy more stuff from them but from now on I'll be more careful.

I bought a lot of stuff lately, like new lenses, that I'm eagerly waiting for and I was looking for new pants but I just don't really like those pants they sell here in Germany. Then again I'm unsure of how Japanese long pants would fit me. Most jeans in Shibuya 109 didn't fit ;<


I liked these, they had some キラキラ on them, and made the legs look more skinny, it was pretty awesome. Like a push up effect of some kind! Only more like a 'push fat away' effect. Will still be looking for more on days when university doesn't wear me out, because long, fitting pants are still a must for winter~

There's a pair of lenses I wanted to talk about: Barbie Gossip Aqua / Gossip Blue
(bought them here)


Comfort ★★★☆
Colour ★★☆☆
Overall ★★☆☆
I've been wearing them for about 10 months now, but they started hurting in one of my eyes when I wore them last week so I think I will be throwing them out. The comfort level was good first, as the colour is not too light (mostly in natural light it's not really visible, only the inner yellow ring stands out a lot), however, after a while they got dry easily. With 14.5mm they are rather big and have a 'natural' enlarging effect.
I suppose they were made for blue and green eyed-people so the colour blends in nicely. Though, on Purikura the colour shows up naturally and kind of nice on brown eyes, too.


I would recommend them to brown-eyed people only if you want a very subtle blue and if you like the idea of the inner yellow ring. That ring will make most people notice that you wear lenses, but almost no one will be able to guess the colour, haha. That's why I don't think I will buy them again.

As for the next posts, I will be trying to do more outfit-shots but it's so damn difficult if you don't have a full-body mirror at the new place ; ;'

to lack what they have.

Ahh, long time again. I thought I had decided to come back to blog at ameba but I'm not so sure anymore. It's good for practising Japanese, but very tiring. Just like school (x_x)
And on top of that, last week 3 (!) of my 30 prescious extensions fell out while I brushed my hair. I suppose my long hair period will come to its end soon...


So, this might be the last time you see me like this for this year!
Which is somehow not so bad because I am always longing for short hair when I have the opposite. Here's some pictures of my hair's condition. The ends are quite healthy-looking but the shorter side parts are a little dry (it gets greasy easily when I put my treatment in after washing my hair ;<).



lashes: Diamond Lash 'Celeb' type
lenses: Candy Magic Big Size Brown
top: d.i.a.

Different editing because my phone has the very special ability to turn people into soft-skinned beauties and my computer doesn't, haha. (I forgot how much I love my phone!)
Another thing to mention - the treatment and shampoo series I use is Shiseido Tsubaki Damage Care. Very recommended! It was even gentle to my scalp while usual shampoo would often cause it to bleed (from that hardcore bleaching in the Tokyo hair salon).
Besides, anyone interested in lash, lens or hair treatment reviews? Or something similiar? I'm not sure if anyone would read, since many people get bored by reviews and I already think of writing a tutuHA related review soon because I'm quite disappointed with something I bought.
Now off to sleep some more and later do something university related... (>_<)

let's rock. sometime soon.

Looong time no see. University is stressfull ; ;'
I managed to take one (1!) outfit shot and the other days I was really unmotivated and sleepy and it got cold so quickly that I wore hot pants only about 2 times the past two weeks, haha.

You can't see it well because it was early in the morning... but it's no special brands there, apart from the Diavlo belt, some engineer boots from Alta and a d.i.a. top & choker that you can't see properly~
In contrast to the heavy rock/dark dark kind of style, my make up was very light lately because of the long train ride and sensitive dry eyes~ It felt okay these days but I like heavy make-up a lot more. 
On a side note, my extensions are in a quite good condition still! I hope they last me some more time.
And fashion wise, I feel like dressing more ... host-ish these days? Kind of like this:


More suiting for winter here than the d.i.a. short pants & skirts style, if you ask me~ But I want to buy some light blue pants like this before... (Which is only if I don't have to pay the subsequent recovery I got from the german railways XD;)
Besides, I decorated some nail tips! Which are not suiting for the host-style, but anyway!


That's all so far. I'm still missing Japan as hell and can't wait to go back as soon as possible ; A ;
As for now I will leave you with a picture of my university~

latest buy & small room ideas

Hello everyone~
I'm greeting you with a sweet treat that is my latest favourite. Really reminds me of strawberry cake!


First of all, I brought my d.i.a. top home safely.
I was really happy about it, it's just as lovely in person as on the pictures. I wanted to buy some fitting pants and since my friend has some ripped pants with lace showing (take a look at the purikura from the last post), I wanted some like that too! They're pants from d.i.a. that are the same design.


I got a pair in black that was said to run small, so I bought a size bigger. But they are a little bit loose now ; ;


I'm thinking of giving them back now/selling them. Of course they can never achieve that fierce d.i.a. look, but they were way cheaper and I could still modify them. The endless question: Should I keep them or not?
On the other hand, apart from one pair, I don't have any fitting long pants anymore! Which is bad because I can feel winter approaching next month. This is not Japan, haha.

In the meantime I've been looking for apartments/places to live some days ago because -in case anyone missed it- I'm a university student from now! And my place is about 3 hours by train from the university ( ; ; )
I know I know, the semester is about to start, I am always late like that and never really care, haha. I have one more visiting coming up, and then an agency that promised me a visiting next week, but those agencies don't seem trustworthy to me!
Anyway, I hope I'm going to get something very soon and then I have big plans for the interior design (unless the uni stress will kill me). I looked through my collections of ageha issue scans and found quite nice examples of what I want. Those ideas are all for small rooms and I actually like the cozy idea more than big wide rooms.

One exception from happie nuts. I like how clear & white it is, even though very small, the white seems to make it appear at least a little more 'wide' and not too packed.


A possible reference for mature gals/gal mamas: Momoeri's room~ 
Not very stuffed, a bigger room with a clean design. Looks more 'useful', right? I'm not fond of it.

Sayo Hayakawa's room. She was my idol three years ago and even now I like the design she chose.
I'm not sure why she needs two beds, but the idea of having your couch next to the bed somehow pleases me.

Now my two top favourites

Bed next to the couch again, all in stylish black with sublte highlights. Looks like a guy's room almost, doesn't it?
I love the 'cool' feeling of it (though the audio equipment feels misplaced), I definitely want a room like this!

My favourite ever since I saw this in 2008.
Black and white/cream designed, combined beautifully and in a very clean composition. Even the bathroom, the fridge and the vacuum cleaner fit in the design!
I am dreaming of an apartment like this, but in Japan, not here. One day, one day, haha.

& at last, a bonus room picture

Ryoma Saegami's room.
Looks like 1K since you can't see much of it. Hosts have to save up, huh? Maybe he has a different room now.
