Self Introduction 自己紹介

So I think that this post should probably have gone first, but better late then never! I've also been a bit sick lately so sorry this post is a little late...

最近私と優波ちゃんが病気で、このブログが遅くなってけど、そろそろ自己紹介をしたいと思っています！

Me! 私です！

Hi! My name is Vincenza, but on the internet (or in Japan) I prefer to go by ViVi, because it's easier  (>w< ) I'm 21 and I currently live in Australia. My partner is Japanese, and his name is Shun. We met in Australia, but lived in Japan when we were over there (I'll talk about that a bit later in the post, and I might even do a post about how I met him if anyone is interested). I also have a beautiful 1 year old daughter named Yuuna, which means 'gentle wave'.

初めまして、ビビです！実の名前はビンチェンザなんですけど、インターネット上や日本に行った時はみんなが簡単に覚えるように、ビビにしました！ 私のダーリンは日本人です。w　そして、１歳のとっても可愛い優波という娘がいます！

Me and Shun　私とダーリン

Our Family　家族

Yuuna 優波ちゃん

When I started high school, the school that I was at had Japanese as a compulsory subject for years 7 and 8. And boy, am I glad it did. (I can do another post about how I got into my Japanese study history, or why I got interested in Japan at a later point, but I want to keep this post short and sweet for now). I ended up moving towns when I was 15, and sadly that school did not offer Japanese. I changed schools again after that. A year later I was in my senior year, and I ended up choosing Japanese as a subject.

高校を始めた時、日本語を２年間勉強しました。その後、私の家族が引っ越しました。次の学校に日本語のクラスがありませんでしたが、１年後私は違う学校にか通い始めて、その学校でまた２年間日本語を勉強しました！

It was during my second last year of high school, that my family went to Japan. I was so excited! I had always wanted to go, and had honestly wanted to do an exchange program during high school. We went for two weeks and visited Tokyo and Kyoto, and did heaps of tours and I just fell in love with Japan that much more!

学校を卒業する２年間前、私の家族が初めて日本で旅行しました！東京都京都に行きました。本当にその時、私は日本のことを大好きになりました。元々好きでしたけど、本当に本当に大好きになりました。

My first Liz Lisa purchase!　初のリズリサw

 (I have way more pictures if anyone wants to see posts of that trip)

When I finished school, I took a year off to just find myself. All my friends moved away to the city, and I was behind and honestly didn't do much. It was at this time I decided I needed a change in my life, and after consoling with my family, I decided I was going to do a years worth of study in Japan at a language school. (I can make a post about how I did this too if anyone is interested ;D)

 学校を卒業した後、私の友達全員都会に引っ越して、私だけ残りました。その７ヶ月間の間、「後悔しない人生を送りたい」っと思って、日本で留学する事にしました。

So it was set, and I was to go to Japan. A month before I left, I met my partner. Then I was off to Japan. I lived in Sangenjaya, which is a part of Tokyo, and I attended a language school in Shibuya, called 'Shibuya Gaigo Gakuin' . I absolutely loved this school and would highly recommend it. February of the next year, my partner came back to Japan and we decided to live together. We stayed in Tokyo for another 4 months, then decided we would move to his hometown, Shizuoka. I went to a different language school for the next 6 months, 'Shizuoka Nihongo Kyouiku Center'.

留学する１ヶ月前、私は隣の町で偶々ダーリンに出会いました。もう日本に行くことが決めていたから、そのままバイバイをして、日本に行きました。私は三軒茶屋に住んで、渋谷の語学校に６ヶ月間通いました。日本に住んでから、４ヶ月後、ダーリンは日本に戻って来て、一緒に住む事にしました。私達は４ヶ月間東京で一緒に住みました。ある日、ダーリンの地元静岡に引っ越そうと思って、そうしました。そこで６ヶ月間住みました。

My graduation from the school in Shibuya　卒業（T_T）

During that time, I got pregnant with Yuuna. We decided it would be best for me to come home to Australia and have her, because I would feel more comfortable and have more support from my family/the government.

東京でダーリンと一緒に住んでいた間、私は妊娠しました。だから、静岡に６ヶ月住んだ後、オーストラリアに帰る事にしました。オーストラリアでサポートの方があるのですから。

When Yuuna was born　優波ちゃんを産まれた日

We went back to Japan last year in October to show Shun's family Yuuna, and we are going back this year at the same time for the same reason. We want to take her back every year so they can spend some time with her, and I also want her to see what Japanese life is like. One day when she gets a bit older, I'd like us to move back to Japan for a while. But with visas and what not, it's going to be a bit tricky. Oh well, we'll figure something out!

去年の１０月、私達家族がダーリンの家族に優波ちゃんを見せるように、日本に一時帰国しました。今年もするつもりです！毎年できらた、私達は日本に２週間ぐらい行きたいと思っています。優波ちゃんに日本はどんな国か知って欲しいし、ダーリンの家族にも優波ちゃんに会わせてほしいからです！

Traveling to another country with a 6 month old @_@　日本に一時帰国した時

Now I'm up to today. I am currently studying to become an Early Childhood Educator. I only have 6 weeks of my course to go. From there, I am going to decide if I want to start working, or go on to study the Diploma for another year.

現在は幼稚園の先生になる為に勉強しています！コースはあと６週間しか残っていないです。終わった後、また次のコースに進むか、 仕事を始めるか、まだ考え中です。

During my time in Japan, I also really got into Gyaru fashion. And that's where this blog comes in. I also have a youtube channel, which I started to share with everyone my time in Japan, but now the channel has expanded into little weekly updates of Yuuna, fashion hauls and make up tutorials. I finally have more time to keep making videos, so please subscribe so you don't miss out on any new videos!

日本に住んでいた時、ギャルのファッションに興味を持ち始めました。w　だから、このブログには、メイクのやり方や、ファッションのことが結構これからあると思います！YouTubeもやっています。優波ちゃんのビデオもそこでアップしたいるので、是非是非チェックしてくださいね！

Recent Purchases + Shibuya 109 Webshop 購入品の紹介

So I've sold a few things on my Storenvy lately, and I decided I'd use the money to Purchase a few things. I also thought this would be a good idea to talk about the Shibuya 109 e-store because I've never used it before, and also talk about a few new brands I discovered. (You probably already know about them... orz)

私はStorenvyというサイトで、もう要らない服を売ってお金貯めてそのお金で新しい可愛い服を買おうと思いました！今日私はその購入した物を紹介したいと思います！

1. DaTuRa Shibuya 109 e-shop blanccloset

Sold out, so no link. Sorry guys.

I also bought this ages ago, and it finally arrived. It looked HUGE but once I tried it on it fit nice and snug.

If there are two things I love, it's pink and floral. And DaTuRa just does it for me haha

これは１ヶ月前ぐらいに買ったワンーピスです。バラ柄だし濃いピンクも大好きから買ってしまいました！

昨日これが届いて、パケージを開けた瞬間「ヤバー　これデカくない？？」っと思って凄く不安になりましたが、今日着てみたら、ぴったりフィットして、安心できましたw

Here

This is the one I showed in my wishlist. I did end up getting it, and I am so excited to wear it this winter with my new jumper/sweater thing. 

このスカートは欲しい物の紹介に出たやつです！
買えて嬉しいです！

Here

I already have this in camel, and I've wanted it in black for a while so I thought I might as well grab it. I still can't tie it very well though, so I'll have to keep practising.

スカートだけじゃ物足りないから買っちゃいました。キャメルのやつはもう持っていますが、上手に巻けないです。練習スレベ上手になるはずなので、頑張ります！







 

2. me jane    Shibuya 109 e-shop　lilimpark

me jane is a brand I had never heard about until I was browsing through the sales on the 109 webstore. I really like the style, it's like a mix of DaTuRa and one way, in my opinion. The items are not expensive, and not cheap. Like a fine medium. I love the floral prints and their shirts. They all seemed to sell out really fast, then when I did a bit more searching I realised that it was a brand under MA*RS.

このブランドは聞いた事がなかったが、１０９のオンラインショップのセールを見た時、一番したのワンーピスを見つけて、ミージェーンのサイトをもっと探して、凄く好きになりました。ダチュラよりやすいのに、同じぐらい質が良さそうに見えたからとりあえず買ってみました！

I've never really been that into MA*RS, but I'm actually starting to like a few of their items, I really want this dress from their new collection!

ミージェーンはマーズと同じ会社から作られているなので、マーズの服も少しだけ見ました。前はマーズの服に全然興味を持たなかったけど、このワンピースめっちゃ欲しくなってしまいました！これからもっとマーズの服を買うと思います！

Here 

Anyway, back to my purchases. I got 3 things from me jane through the Shibuya 109 e-Shop.

購入品の紹介に戻りましょう。これが私が１０９のオンラインショップで買った三つのミージェーンの購入品です！

Here

This is the reason I made the order. I've been wanting a hot pink skirt for ages! I was actually going to buy all of this on the lilimpark store, but it sold out in pink T_T

The thing is, the things on their website are cheaper (only by a few dollars, though), so if possible I wanted to buy them from there. But alas, because it sold out I quickly headed over to the Shibuya 109 e-store and THANK GOD it was there! So I decided to do my whole order on there.

このスカートを買う為に今回のオーダをしました！実は、リリムパークのサイトからこのオーダをするつもりだったけど、私が欲しかったピンク色のスカートがあのサイトで売り切れちゃいました！（；ー；）なので初めて１０９のオンラインショップでこのオーダをすることになりました。

Here

I also got this, I think it'll be good to go with everything. They also had it in white but I think black is sexier. This was actually not even listed on the lilimpark store!

これも買いました。白もあったけど、やっぱり黒ですねw　もっと使いやすいし、ブラの色を気にしなくていいから黒選びました！

Here

And this beautiful dress. Isn't that print at the bottom to DIE for? So gorgeous. I don't own anything like this dress so I'm really excited. I couldn't decide between orange or blue, but I decided to go for something different and get the blue!

私が持っているワンーピスの中で、こんな風んなワンーピスがないので買ってみました！スカートのところの色が凄く綺麗でしょ？　オレンジのバーションか、このブルーのと、どっちを買うかずっと悩んでいたけど、この色の服を持っていなかったからブルーにしました！








3. Sneep Dip Shibuya 109 e-store

I also got a pink jumper type thing from this brand, because it was only 1080 yen. But it was the last one, and I didn't think to save the image so I don't have it T_T

そして、スニープディップというブランドからピンクのアウターを買ったけど、それが最後のやつで、買った時に写真をパソコンにセーブのを考えなくて、写真見せられなくてごめんなさい〜

I actually didn't know of this brand, and I didn't look at their page again until today when I was searching for the photo. But their clothes are REALLY CUTE! It's like a cheaper version of me jane or DaTuRa!

実はこのブランドも聞いた事なかったし、アウターを買った後でも、もっと見たいと思わなかったけど、買ったアウターの写真を探した時ほかの服も見たので、可愛い服がいっぱいだったから、またいつかこのブランドから何かを買ってみたいと思いました！

I didn't buy these things, but I thought I might share some pictures of some cute things I wouldn't mind buying (But not until my wallet can recover lol)

下の服は買いませんでしたが、みんなにこのブランドの服を少し紹介したいと思います！

 Here

If you couldn't tell, I also have a soft spot for lace and peplums!

本当にこれ買いたいんだけど、何かが売るまで我慢しなきゃー！！

 Here

This is VERY similar to the tops I shared that were from one way in my Winter/Autumn wishlist

前の欲しい物の紹介のブログで紹介したトップスと同じ感じですね！

 Here

Okay, I don't want this. But I was just surprised when I saw it, because it's almost exactly the same as the dress I got from DaTuRa. It's oviously a lot more cheap looking than the DaTuRa on, but if you don't have the money to buy the DaTuRa one, I think this one is cute too. They have it in purple as well.

このワンピースは私が買ったダチュラのワンーピスと凄く似ていて、ちょっとびっくりしました。もちろん、これはもっと安いからお金をあまり使いたくない人に優しい選択です！

Here

I think this skirt is beautiful. The colours are amazing and I love how it's like watercolour.

これも買いたいなぁ！ダチュラのスカートみたいです！しかも色が本当に本当に可愛いです！












So, I am going to say that the Shibuya 109 e-store is really easy to nagivate and use. I like how you can even search by price! I normally try and buy clothes from the main website of whatever brand it is, (eg. my Liz Lisa purchases are all from TokyoKawaiiLife). But when that site is sold out of something, there is a chance you can still get it on the Shibuya 109 e-store, so I highly recommend giving it a check out! For people who have never been to Japan, but are going to go and want to shop, it's also a cool chance to see what kind of things they have, and if you don't have much time you can look at what's on each floor and make a plan of which stores you want to visit.

上の部分は海外の方に１０９のオンラインショップについての話です。みんなは多分もう知っていますが、知らない人の為に少しだけ話します。１０９のオンラインショップはとても使いやすくて、円で探せるチョイスもあるのでとても良かったです！そのサイトで買い物をした事ない方は是非買ってみてくださいね！

ANYWAY, I think this post has gone for long enough. I might do a post about my favourite brands in the future, but for now I'll leave it at this! I won't be buying any more clothes until I can sell a bit more. Most of the stuff on my storenvy is new with tags and I have a LOT of Liz Lisa on there, so check it out!

私はほかの服を売るまで何も買いません。（T_T　）

Thanks for reading and see you next time~

Where I've Been + Future Plans 最近何をしているのか

 So, I think I'm going to make a post about why I stopped making YouTube videos. 

さあ、今日私は「何で私は急にYouTubeを止めた」について話したいと思います。

When I went to Japan, I filmed a lot. But when I got home, I couldn't really find any time to edit the footage I took. (I've made a few videos I need to upload now though!). And before I knew it, it was already 2015.

日本に行った時いっぱいビデオを撮ったけど、オーストラリアに帰って来たら中々動画にする時間を見つけれませんでした。気がついたら、もう２０１５になってしまいました。

I had been a housewife for almost one year, looking after Yuuna and doing housework. I was sick of it! I couldn't stand being constantly at home, and it was really lonely. So, I started searching for work but couldn't really find anything. As I was about to give up, my great grandma handed me a Tafe magazine.

１年間私は主婦として優波ちゃんの世話と家事をやりながら仕事をずっと探していましたが何もなくて、「どうしよう」って思っていたとき曾祖母が私にＴａｆｅの雑誌をくれました。

Tafe is a school in Australia (maybe you have Tafe in your country too, but I think it might just be Australia). You can go there after you finish high school, so it's like university. But it's mainly for things that don't take as much study to finish, like studying to become a chef or a nurse in an elderly peoples home, and it's also a lot cheaper. I decided to study early childhood care and education.

Ｔａｆｅというのは簡単にいうと日本でいう専門学校のようなものです。例えば、 チェフになりたい人とか、介護をしたい人とかは大学じゃなくて、Ｔａｆｅに行きます。色々考えましたが私は幼稚園の先生になるために教育のコース を選びました。

I've been doing this course for about 3 months now, and I am loving everyday. Last week I did one weeks worth of work placement in the town next to mine, and it was so fun! I really think this field of work is suited towards me.

今はもう３ヶ月ぐらいそのコースをやっていて、本当に毎日が楽しいです。先月私は隣の町の幼稚園に入って、１週間の仕事の練習を行えました。この仕事は私にぴったりっておもいました！

Up until now, it was either me or my grandmother watching Yuuna. But 3 weeks ago, Yuuna started to go to daycare. She went really well on her first day, so we decided to put her in twice a week. It's a great chance for her to play with other children, and there are also so many more opportunities for her for her to learn then there are here at home. Also, for one more day of the week we decided to take her to my dads house to spend the day. 

今までは私か私のおばあちゃんが優波ちゃんをずっと見たけど、３週間前から優波ちゃんは保育園に通い始めました！一週間で2回通っています。優波ちゃんはこれ本当に楽しんでいるそうです！ほかの子供と遊べるチャンスが増えたし、家にいるよりもっと色んな事できるから本当に入れてよかったと思います！それと、一週間の中で一回私のお父さんの家に遊びに行っています。

So, I've finally got time to make videos and also this blog!!! 

だから最近やっと私の時間が増えて、ビデオを作る時間とこのブログを作る時間を見つけれました！

I'm going to try and make videos to go with posts, but sometimes it might just be a blog post. I'll be more active on this blog then I am making videos, but I am going to try and do 1 video every 1-2 weeks. 

このブログの方が動画よりアップすると思いますが、できるなら動画は一週間か二週間ずつで一回作るつもりです。

Here is a list of things I want to make a video/blog post about:
Last years trip to Japan
Yuuna's videos up until her 52nd week (1 year)
And also, I want to do a post either about all my Liz Lisa clothes or just a big one about all my Japanese brand clothes.
(Let me know which one you'd rather see!!)

これから動画／ブログにアップしたい事は
去年の日本の旅行
優波ちゃんの５２週間目までのビデオ
そして、私が持っているリズリサの服か日本の全部のブランドの服の紹介

Please look forward to more posts from me, and let me know if there is anything you'd like to see! I'm also going to be holding a giveaway to celebrate 1000 subscribers on YouTube!!

これから少しずつブログとYouTubeをアップしていきますので、是非またチェックしてくださいね！そして、１０００人登録者 にやっとなりましたので、私の私のYouTubeチャンネルを登録してくれている人から１人選び景品をあげるつもりなので、そのビデオを是非作ったら見てくださいね！！！！

 Thanks for reading and see you next time~

My Wishlist! 欲しい服の紹介！

Hi Everyone~!

こんいちはみんな〜

As you may or may not know, I am currently living in Australia. And FINALLY,  Autumn has come so it has started to cool down!! I think Winter clothes are sooo much cuter so I've been dying for it to get colder!

知らないかもしれないが、私は今オーストラリアに住んでいます！なので、今秋にやっとなりました！冬の服の方が可愛いから、ずっと寒くなって欲しかったんだ！

So here is my wishlist for Autumn/Winter~

これは私が秋冬に買いたい服の紹介です~

1. DaTuRa ダチュラ

Here

I really want this one, it's so cute and I like how the sleeves are fitted. I think the purple colour is really nice too, but I don't know if I need it or not.. I think I just want it. But it would go so cute with all my DaTuRa Skirts!!

これめちゃ可愛くないですか？？　袖が腕のとこにギュンとフィットしているから、とても体をよく見せてくれると思います！そして、色も私が持っているダチュラのスカートとめちゃ似合うと思います！

でも、必要かな？もう似ているやつ買ったし。。。迷っちゃいますね！（下に買ったやつが乗せています）

Here

This isn't on my wishlist, because I actually bought it the other day! I love how it shows that bit of skin on your back, it's so sexy! But the ribbon makes it really cute as well. And because it's white, it will be easy to put it with anything!!


これが買ったやつです。白だから、何と一緒に合わせても簡単に似合います！　下のリボンもとっても可愛いです！

Here

I am so going to get this skirt. I can't wait until it comes out on the 17th. The colours are so beautiful, I like the subtle yellow that is thrown in.

これ絶対に買います！販売開始は今月17日だから、絶対に買います！










2. Delyle NOIR  デイライル ノアール

 Here

 I want this one cause it would be a great staple to have in my closet, but it's a bit expensive for such a simple piece...

これシンプルで使いやすいと思いますが、値段がちょっと高いかなー











3. Liz Lisa リズリサ

 Here

I think this would just be a nice staple to have in my closet, and it's on sale!

これセールになったから安いし、シンプルで絶対にいっぱい使えると思います！

 Here

 I want this one for the same reason as the one above. Plus off the shoulder things are so sexy :)

 これも上のやつと同じ理由で欲しいんだけど、肩見せもあるからセクシーw










 
Here

I wanted these when they first came out, but they were so expensive so I didn't get them. They are on sale now but aren't that much cheaper. If they get to like around 6000 yen, I might buy them. I like the beige one the most.

これ出た時に欲しかったんだけど、高くて買いませんでした。今少しだけ安くなって来たけど、６０００円になったら買うかな〜
ならなったら別に大丈夫です。ベージュが気になています！





4. Cecil Mcbee セシルマクビー

 Here

This is so gorgeous! And I could wear a shirt under it to wear it into Winter. But it's almost $100. I don't think I can pay that much for a maxi dress... even though it's so beautiful...!

これ本当に可愛くないですか？！でも９０００円もします　ｏrz
凄く欲しいけどなぁ！！迷う〜〜！













Here

This is like the one I wanted from Delyle NOIR, but it's cheaper!! And I think the beige colour looks nicer in my opinion.

これはデイライル ノアールのやつと似ているけど、もっと安くて色も白じゃなくてベージュだからもっと可愛いと思います！
















6. one way ワンウェイ

Here

This is super cute and I think it would go with my DaTuRa skirts so well! I also like the ribbon in the back!

 これめっちゃ可愛いし、後ろにリボンは大好きです！ダチュラのスカートと一緒に合わせて可愛いと思います！















Here

This one is kind of similar to the one above, but I like the jewels and the lace panels. I also think this will go well with the skirt from DaTuRa I have on my wishlist here!

これは上のやつと似ているけど、この色のシャーツを持ていないし、レースとビジューがいいポイントになると思います！

Here 

This is just a really cute dress and I think I would get a lot of use out of it!!!

これはとても大人可愛い感じがしますね。とても着やすく見えるし、後ろのリボンの胸のところのビジューが最高です！














And also, I finally found some time to do myself up, so here are some selfieeeeeeees (>w< ) 

そして、今日メイクをやる時間見つけたので、今日はこんな感じでした〜！

See you next time! Bye Bye~

じゃ、次のブログまで
またね〜

I'm staring a blog! ブログを始めます！！

 Hey guys!
こんいちはみんな~

It's been a while since I've done anything, I never meant to quit my YouTube channel after that trip to Japan. But when I got back I was so tired, and I just never really made another video. I keep thinking to myself "I should make a video!" but I never get around to it.

いやー　久しぶりって言っても、意味なくなったね！本当にずっと動画をアップしていないんだよね！日本に一時帰国したら、YouTubeを止めるつもりなかったけど、オーストラリアに帰った後、ビデオを作る時間中々見つけられなかった。。。

Yuuna has been sick lately, and I've got assignments from my classes. But I figured, I should be able to keep up with a blog, cause there isn't as much editing to go with it as there is making videos, and I don't have to do myself up or get someone to watch Yuuna while I film.

最近優波ちゃんが病気になって、授業の試験もあるので、本当にビデオを作る時間がない！だからこのブログを作り始めようと思っている！動画を作るより簡単だし、優波ちゃんを見ながら作れるし、やってみたいと思います！

So here I am, I think I might post life updates, make up tutorials, outfits and little what nots on here too. 

このブログに最近の事、メイクのやり方、服の写真などをアップするつもりなので、

So please follow me or whatever you do on blogger :P! I look forward to starting something new!

ヨロシクお願いします！
