Expanding the Availability of Japanese Fashion Brands

It’s a no brainer that I am in love with eccentric fashion! If you haven’t known… well now you do! I have been a part of a particular Japanese subculture called gyaru for about seven years, experimenting with my looks and fashion sense as I saw fit. I initially used shops catered towards teens around Chicago, went to thrift stores and second hand shops, even customized clothes and made some by hand to be able to create my looks to show off my creative side. Whether they were all on point or nah… is a different story, but I had a lot of fun creating looks and merging things I liked together.

One of the biggest things for the people who were into this fashion over the years, was that unless you had a hook up with someone in Japan, you had to make do with what you could find in the states. Some people where able to use shopping services, or shopped at stores that catered to this fashion in Japan to be able to copy the latest styles that catered to the fashion subculture. If these people decided to resell their clothing, then maybe you would be able to get your hands on some Japanese brand goodies.

Japanese Brands Breaking into the Market

With the last two Anime Expo’s in Los Angeles, there was a breakthrough for people who had a love for some of the brands. They were able to purchase from some of their favorite vendors in person without the hassle of traveling to Japan, going through shopping services, or just simply missing out. Along with this, some of the shops that had more popularity in the states decided to open up their sites for Western shoppers to be able to partake in the shopping experience.
Though a lot of the clothes still run quite petite, it is still wonderful step forward for fashionistas who like Japanese fashion!

Brow game

It has been soooo long since I've done my eyebrows! I finally got around to doing the whole 9 yards with them: bleaching, trimming and tweezing.

I usually just tweeze a bit and trim when the lil hairs get long and my brows start looking a bit thick. Just doin the bare minimum too keep my forehead from looking caveman like. Lol.

I feel that my new phone cam is not up to par with my IG and mobile blogging needs! 😖

Oh well..
Til next time chocopies!

King of the Fall

I'm in my city camoed out, leather booted, kissin b(&*^%^^& in the club.

So, I decided to Abel-ify myself last night. I was having wayyy to much fun with this. lol.

It was on my mind for a while, so I decided to try it out. I used black eyeshadow, a bit of mascara, gel liner, and my dark brown eye brow pencil to create my brows, beard and moustache, and to also help with that sleepy, tired, and kinda stoned look that he always has going on... Well, save for some pictures where he is smiling. LOL

d'awww!

So moody!

Though I totally couldn't get my hair like his... nor a wig that I pretty much destroyed... I think I came pretty close for my first try!

And you have to do it all just to know where it gets you.

Until next time!!

Be Cool Cat as You Listen to Music

In a world where the majority of the population has a music player of some sort attached to them, it is no question that having a trusty pair of headphones that also look good is a staple.

The thing is, that in this world where you need a trusty pair of headphones to listen to your favorite tunes, there are so many different varieties, looks and colours that are available to choose from!

Loving technology and being a part of a tech and gaming group, I think it was a no brainer that my attention was going to be captured by these nifty pair of headphones I saw on Tumblr from Axent.

Being a kawaii item lover, these won even more points in my heart!

The design of the models from Axent is sleek, futuristic and to top it all off very trendy even for the more discerning of eccentric otaku, nerd and techie tastes.

Besides being stylish and just super cool, you can also use these headphones as speakers too to share your music with your friends and the world! Or, if you would rather listen to your music by yourself, that is always an option too.

You can also have the ears light up. Another thing about these headphones is that you can either have the cord attached or not to the ears while listening to your music, giving you a little bit more freedom compared to some other models of headphones on the market.

What do you all think about these headphones? If you were to get one, what would be your go to colour?
