Julia Boutique x Mipochi & other models

New random post!

Been stressed the past week but now I'm taking some time off. Being lazy now. Can't study anymore, need my break ; ;

Okay, I am done with my lousy excuses.

I haven't really seen anyone posting about Julia Boutique ever.

So I thought, let's make a post and ask your readers if they have heard of that or even ordered?

A few months ago soul sister model Mipochi started modeling for this shop. Mostly she represents her Ora Ora style, which also reminds a lot of d.i.a. clothing.

I found the site while I was browsering for clothes. I don't even remember what keywords entered, it was mostly Japanese words. I found what I meant to find: cheap gal clothing!!

They often have items below 1,000yen!

On top of that, a lot of other famous gyaru models are seen on their site: Shizuka Takeda (nuts), Manya (egg) & Erina Kanzaki (model for the brand Stella) all model for Julia Boutique.

The more I mentally convinced myself to buy something from that store, the more I finally realized something. If you look through the items, you'll notice most items are marked with 予約 (yoyaku = reservation). There is a date stated when it will be shipped (usually a few weeks or a month later). But the worst - those items cannot be combined with in-store items!! And in-store items can't be combined with 予約 items. I was so sad when I realized that.

Still a lot of people seem to buy from that shop (the popular colours are often sold out early, like at Yumetenbo) and noticeably, compared to other online stores and stores in Japan, this site is really damn cheap. They often have sales on 予約 items that aren't sold out within a certain time, making the items extremely cheap.

certainly a plus: sizes for certain bottom items seem to be bigger than standard 109 ones

Now the other downside is when I was in Tokyo I wanted to buy just one piece but then I realized they also don't accept credit cards and you will have to pay by bank transfer. Of course I know that it's possible to pay via bank transfer even if you don't have a national bank account but going through all the bother, with the additional bank transfer fee and then I wasn't sure if it would arrive in time because I only stayed in Tokyo for a few weeks - I decided to not do it. The whole procedure seems quite bothersome for foreigners, I think.

Besides, a shop in Shinjuku ALTA (Vincit) seems to sell partly those clothings. Though they do not sell all of the things that are listed there, I thought it was much easier to just buy a few things at Shinjuku ALTA because then I could try the things on and I was aware of the quality. Downside: Vincit is more expensive...

d.i.a. style clothing dirt-cheap! ... only if I knew now if it's keeping you warm or not :<

Anyway, one day I do want to buy from that store and maybe I will, though if I buy with a shopping service, buying only one item always seems like some sort of waste of money, haha. And then I always want the 予約 items - but the sale items are just as alluring if the colour you want is not sold out yet. Damn that system 笑

As a review of the clothes, the things I bought at Vincit that were also offered at Julia Boutique were rather cheap quality but I have high expectations when it comes to good clothing and I am very picky. Considering the price though, my items were okay (stay away from lacey items though... the cheap lace won't look as good after it has been washed).

Pros: affordable gal clothing; fashion always seems up to date; bigger sizes for certain bottoms
Cons: not the best quality (understandable due to the price), bank transfer & the rule about combining in-store and reservation items can be a hassle, a lot of items are sold out quickly

Has anyone made experiences with the shop or their items yet? I'd love to hear your opinions too ❤

days to treasure [modeling, karaoke, lives, friends]

... I'm always late with updates.
My life isn't so exciting while I am in Germany. Mostly I am just busy with studying and lazing around.

Anyway. I found a lot of pictures (and one video) from my holiday I still want to share. Very random and mostly no real photoshop. It's the pictures/impressions that count for me not how pretty they look.
I enjoyed my last stay in Tokyo a lot, probably because I was generally very satisfied with my life and still am, for the most part. There is always ups and downs. I want to treasure the good times and not pay too much attention to the bad ones.

Obviously (yes, finally took a picture), this is one of the reasons why I enjoyed my stay. I am seen in the Hot Pepper magazine for the salon 'mad Rip'. Being able to be in a magazine, to be seen by others, even though I am not a celebrity or tried hard to get a modeling job makes me really feel strong and beautiful.
Last time I got my exte I told the staff I was really happy when I saw my picture. They smiled about it. I don't believe they understand how much they gave me with this. I am glad to have experienced that.

A few things I bought. d.i.a. on the left and right and in the middle fernopaa. Right d.i.a. top makes me feel very cold because of the open back TT; Though pretty clothes just make you feel good, right?
 

Karaoke, food, beautiful evening scene... what more do you need to be happy? ❤

 

definitely lives to go to, with friends to watch beautiful men ❤
(Quench perfoming at Ikebukuro Cyber)

then more random karaoke with friends and thus = happy random me.

(blue lenses that dried out during the flight back home need a replacement :< )

I miss it! Now I want to go back to Tokyo really bad. But, missing it is a feeling on it's own that I enjoy too. Can't wait to go back again. Hope you enjoyed the spam of mostly my face!

back from japan / past outfits / fernopaa snaap

Hello everyone~
New post because I have to show off a few of my new clothes!
I bought a lot of stuff in Japan that I like, having spend 21,000yen merely on d.i.a.!
I do have some regrets with other brands though, so I will make a sales post soon with cheap cheap cheap cheap brand clothing! (cheap because yen is really high these days and buying from me in € will save you lots of cash :D)

Let me randomly throw in a picture of myself when I had a more or less good make up and day.

And below, my outfit that day. I know I know, the blue FERNOPAA tank top is worn too much (; ;) But it looked best with this tutuha skirt I thought! Maybe I will combine the skirt with one of my d.i.a. tops in the future.
That day I met up with two friends who were on vacation & we went for food, karaoke and purikura during daytime~

Can't help but think I lost weight but I only lost about 1-2 pounds. Maybe toned up body... but I think after all it's the long hair effect that makes the body look slimmer haha.

And outfit shot at the airport. Flight had four hours delay (screw you, KLM!) so I had a little time for this (before I passed out from lack of sleep at the waiting area!). Top and skirt are from d.i.a., beloved studded boots from a store in ALTA Ikebukuro. Belt is from Diavlo. I feel incredibly comfortable in these clothes! The pants inside of the skirt are a little bit uncomfortable in the crotch area when zipped up though... I hope they will be more comfortable after washing them.

Last purikura! Same friends, we took this after a live in Shinjuku  Holiday for 1,000yen nomihoudai days before ;D I had a lot of fun talking to Dearest's vocalist who also wrote me on Ameba after the live~ ★

And with that the very last shot that was taken on last Friday! I didn't intend to wear glasses that day but was so tired and up from morning until evening and meant to wear contacts for the all-nighter in Shibuya so I ended up with wearing glasses to FERNOPAA to buy another shirt I wanted. How could I know they'd ask me for a picture!!!
I told the shop staff I felt so embarrassed to wear glasses but she kept saying I was beautiful 笑

Embarrassinggggg~ (゜д゜；)
But okay, you can't see me too well! And I was quite satisfied with my coordinate.
(shirt: vincit, skirt: tutuha)

As for insider news, I think I know now why tutuHA changed to Gravil tutuha!
The FERNOPAA staff told me the designer of former tutuHA is now the designer of FERNOPAA.
I really kind of noticed a change with tutuHA clothes I think. FERNOPAA is more my style, mostly!

Also you can see me in the Hot Pepper Beauty Magazine (Shibuya) at the extension shop pages now!
I might upload a picture in the next posts. Seems like my face is popular everywhere but on the internet 笑

いやいやいやいやっ～

久しぶり　笑

I returned to Tokyo! Since three weeks already.

Just to be honest, (mindless) blogging is not always interesting and there is more things to enjoy than this but I hope someone is going to come and change my opinion about this! Please always feel free to step into my life.
Lately I am doing a good job spending money, especially on clothes, or well, hair.
(Also thinking of buying a prisila wig/wig set soon. Any experiences? Which one is best?)

Shirt: FERNOPAA
Skirt (left): Ghost of Harlem (right): d.i.a.

Diet's not going too well! Lately I have too much appetite, also mixed with the appetite for life (rare case笑 ). I can truly say I am going through one of the happiest phases in my life. Even just finding people to talk to and hang out with and it actually 'clicks' when you talk, it is amazing for me.

Also wearing my glasses a lot lately which makes people stare at me. But I am beautiful with glasses too, hokay!

Besides, I have bought the Gazette album that came out 8/29, was first too lazy to go to Like an Edison but am so happy I got it. Didn't listen to it yet. After going to a live yesterday (8/31), roommate I made friends with and I went to Shibuya tower records and 'by chance' I spotted my favourite five man line up ♥

Face was unbearable after long day starting at 10:30 and the live around noon, then this at night (fell asleep at my friend's university lounge later lmao) but look at this WALL.

And hell I know I am wearing this shirt out but it's so perfect!

About the live now! Went to Ikebukuro Cyber that day (8/31) because there was a live from 12pm. Friend and I came in late cause I had overslept kind of. 

First band was 'oh my god this sounds like plain western indie' impression. There was a bit of 'wtf are you' feeling to some bands (one vocalist had real long devil horns, that is when we left haha) but overall there was two awesome bands: Quench and riot labyrhinth!

Quench had really good music I thought! They gave out sample CDs, rather, the vocalist himself did and then he thanked us in English~ Plus, the name written on the CD, all hand writing!

Riot labyrinth had some really cool music/synthesizer sound, shown here!
Was kind of good and 'new style', and they looked good (younger than me also lol) but a bit too oshare for me. Vocalist was super fun. A lot of people talked to them but then vocalist suddenly talked to me (just very short), thanking me in Japanese for raising my hands during the live which I really didn't do haha. I somehow was just surprised and couldn't say anything. Later he came along through a narrow path and just turned his face towards me and smiled charmingly all of a sudden. There was something about it that made me want to grab this ass but I didn't, hell. (Hell this is why I have to drink before lives!!)

I have a small video of an awesome Quench song, might upload that in the next post~ Their music was super addictive but unfortunately I can't find their CDs anywhere (TT)

Some high school girls also came up to us after we had seen Quench and told us we were sooo beautiful and cute! Some Japanese girls are so cute omg ; ; I was never really liked by girls but slowly I can understand their life here and maybe there mindset also. I hope I can sometime make good friends with them.

Also almost everyone at the live was really supportive and nice to foreigners, I was so glad ★

I wrote the vocalist of Riot labyrinth when adding him on mixi and he even replied me, thanking me I came to the live and that he was 'particularly happy if I could enjoy it'!

Now I do want to spend my life like this day! ♥ Life is awesome if you keep going forward! ♥

Besides, I bought one of the new tutuHA skirts in black today... actually wanted the white one though. Now sure if I should try to exchange it, has anyone tried yet?

Also, anyone interested in that skirt?  笑  Then I might just try to sell it!

I managed to exchange my damaged d.i.a. skirt! Shop staff was super nice after all, I could explain myself fortunately but I couldn't understand all of what they said apart from 'it might break again so it would be better to be careful' haha. Man, Japanese brands and their cheap quality stuff!

So for now, I am happy enough! Going to continue shopping as much as money allows it & then you are going to have me back in Germany around 9/9. Now off to dance randomly happy in a circle~
