Liz Lisa Lookbook - Christmas Outfits feat. Recently Hauled Items!

Click here to watch on youtube <3

Hi guys! Yuuna went to have a sleepover at my mums house on Saturday, so I got to be really productive and film two videos for you! I thought I might do some outfit posts using items I have recently hauled, but because I had so much time today I decided to do a video!

久しぶりに日本語も書きます！今週末、私のお母さんが優波ちゃんを扱ってくれて、ビデオを作る時間があったので、最近購入したリズリサの服を使って、冬コーデのビデオを作ることにしました！

At first I was going to do Christmas coordinates, and I think these are still fitting for Christmas. However, it's Summer in Australia and I was sweating so bad making this video for you all haha. I wanted to do Winter outfits, because most of you are from the Northern part of the world, so now you know how much I love you <3

今オーストラリアでは冬ではなく、夏なのでこのビデオを作ったときめっちゃ暑かったw
なので、あまり服っぽくなりませんでした　orz

Outfit 1 - Pink and Red

These earrings are from my October trip to Japan, but I can't remember where I got them...

Outfit 2 - Strawberry Fields

Again, these earrings are from my last trip but can't remember where I got them...
このピアスはどこで買ったか、全く覚えていません。。。
 

Dress from Liz Lisa. I got in in 109 and it was the last one!! Lucky!!! The socks are also from Tutuanna, and shoes are from my 2014 trip to Japan and were purchased at Shimamura. 
リズリサのワンピース、靴下はチュチュアンナ〜！

Outfit 3 - Pastel Pretty

These earrings are from 109. I got them at a shop called Ruby-Rose. They have SOOOO many cute things and decora phone cases, clocks, mirrors, phone charms ETC! If I hadn't run out of money, I would have got WAYY more from there T_T

ルビーローズという１０９にあるストアで買ったピアス。そごく可愛いで、お気に入りです！

Top, skirt and shoes from Liz Lisa. Although, I got the shoes from Buyee and I think they might be fake, because they don't have the Liz Lisa decal on the bottom of them. T_T I'll be so sad if they are fake!

このコーデ、全身リズリサで〜す！

Outfit 4 - Milky Tea

These earrings are also from 109, but again, I cannot remember which store. There are so many cheap accessory stores so there is no way I could remember them all.
ここピアスも１０９で買ったものです！

Dress is from Liz Lisa, boots are from Penderie. I actually got the boots a little while ago, they were in the outlet section and they were the last ones. I'm glad I got them, they are my first OTK boot. I hope to buy more LL OTK boots in the future!
ワンピースはリズリサで、ブーツはペンデリーです！これからもっとリズリサの可愛いブーツを買いたいです！

And the pompom hair bands are from my 2014 trip to Japan, from a store called 3 coin. It's great, because everything there is 300 yen (not including tax).

髪の毛につけたアクセは去年３coinで買ったものです！

I got this coat last year for Christmas from my sister, and it's from Tralala. But I wanted to include it, because if we had Christmas in Winter here in Australia, I would love to wear this coat!!! Sorry the picture is blurry, but I was SOOOOO hot by the time I took this photo I could not even stand to take another one that wasn't blurry.
最後トゥララのコートです！本当にこの写真を撮ったときめっちゃ汗をかいて、超暑かったから、はっきり撮ってないけど撮り直せませんでした！すみませーん！

And that's it! Please let me know which coordinate was your favourite, or maybe tell me if you have any Liz Lisa items on your Christmas wish list.
どのコーデが一番気に入ったか、クリスマスに欲しいと思っている服とかあったら、コメントで教えてくださいね！

See you next time!

Day Out With Sister + Mini Haul

Hi guys! It's been a while since I did a post like this.

Today me and my sister went to the op shop to donate a heap of our old clothes, and we decided to have a look to see what we could find. I found some really nice clothes and a bag! So here is my mini haul!!


First this is my coord for the day~

Don't mind my baby hairs... I have no idea what to do about them T_T

Dress: DaTuRa (I bought it off Kati from Dentelle Noir)
Shoes: K-Mart (Australia)
Outer: Liz Lisa (I bought it off HoneyBloodxx)
Bag: Strandbags (Australia)

The first thing I got was this cardigan. It had a price tag still attached for $50 and I got it for.....


.... $8!!!!

It's so cute!! It's a low v-neck one, and there are sequins which sparkle in rainbow colours when you move with the light (It didn't pick up in the photo though..)

I got this cute sweater, with pastel bits of different coloured balls sewn in throughout it. It also has rainbow sequins too!

This large top (which I am wearing as a dress) and the lace-decal smokey rose coloured bag. These were both only $6 each! I really liked this top because it made me think of Cecil Mcbee!

After that we went and had lunch, and come home!

Thanks for reading~! xx

Australian Gyaru Unite!!!

I know I haven't been active lately, my new course is so full on and my grandparents went to Hawaii so I've been trying to look after Yuuna while I study and also keep the house in order.

But, I just wanted to make an update that I have created a Facebook page for Australian Gyaru.
I am the only gyaru in my area (to my knowledge), so I wanted to create a place for us to all gather together and form a community.

If you are interested, or know any Australian Gyaru, please have a look at this page:
Here <3

I hope I can find some other gyaru from Australia.

I wanted to make a group, but I didn't have any gyaru friends to add to it, so once we've made a small community we can turn it into a group page!!

Gyaru Blogging Meme! ~ When did you start dressing gyaru? ~

Hey guys! Even though I've been on holidays for almost 2 weeks now, I haven't done any blog posts. D: Sorry!

I thought I might do the gyaru blogging meme to fill in between other posts. I've got another haul video coming up soon, and there will be a post to go with it, so stay tuned for that!

The first question in the meme is, 'when did you start dressing gyaru?'.

I'm going to start with when I first began to be into 'fashion'. I was into the whole, thrift store style. I also live in a beachy area, so the boho look is really popular here. So I used to dress a lot in that style, and I was also coming out of my 'emo' phase too. During this time, I was also interested in Japanese fashion, but more of the stuff you'd see in Harajuku than gyaru.

The grunge, oh how it lingered

Boho/Thrift store kinda look

I also had another side to me, where I liked to dress up a fair bit and be quite girly, I like to think of this as my pre-gyaru phase.

The first time I ever wore anything gyaru, was my trip to Japan in 2010. I went to Liz Lisa and got this dress. Now, I know that gyaru is more than just putting on a dress, but that is the first time I ever even came into contact with anything gyaru!

How embarrassing~

After living in Japan for a while, and the fact that my school was in Shibuya, I saw a lot of gyaru girls walking around and fell in love with the style. I started to dress more and more 'gyaru'ish.

This is the first week of me living in Japan. It's more gyaru than the last time I wore that dress, haha.

Then I exploded in my gyaru-ness. I was wearing false lashes daily, I just couldn't get enough of it. My make up improved a lot, but my fashion still wasn't 100% gyaru.

Now, most of the stuff I buy is gyaru, I rarely buy from Australian stores... I don't wear false lashes too often anymore, unless I'm going out on a date.  I also started wearing circle lenses on the odd occasion too, and when I go to Japan I want to buy more so I can wear them more often without feeling like I'm going to waste them.

Yep, it's that dress again!

So I started out fairly hime-gyaru, and now I still do that but I am also delving into onee-gyaru. I'm liking the contrast between the two styles, and it's nice to be able to switch things up every now and again.

I wish I knew people in the local area who were into gyaru, or any Japanese fashion sub-culture for that matter, because I always feel so judged when I am out and about. I live in a town where people wear jeans, thongs or board shorts no matter where they go... PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE AN AUSTRALIAN GYARU~~

That's about it for my fashion journey. I hope you found this interesting, and you should let me know about your history in the comments!!! :)

See you next time~

Recent Purchases feat. Liz Lisa, DaTuRa, me Jane and a special shoutout to Luck and Lustre!!

Click on the picture to go to the video~

Hi everybody! I handed in my work on Monday and now my course is done!!!! (until my new course starts) So of course, I celebrated by making a video.... That I was actually in!!! This is a video of my recent purchases, in like an ootd format. I have bought way more than this, but I'll make another video when it arrives.

こんいちはみんな〜　今週の月曜日課題を渡して、今の幼稚園先生のコースがやっとおわりました！お祝いするために、昨日このビデオを作りました！私も珍しく写っています！このビデオに、私が最近購入したものを紹介しながら、コーディネートを見せます！

The first part of the video features some items I bought from the brand me Jane, which is part of the company who runs MA*RS. And there is also my new DaTuRa skirt. The me Jane items were bought from the Shibuya 109 webstore, and the DaTuRa skirt was bought from their own website. You can see these items in my recent purchases blog post I did a while back. (I forgot to include the belt and the dress @_@)

ミジェーン、ダチュラ、リップのものを見せるので、全部チェックしてくださいね！

 

I'll start with this top and skirt from me Jane. 

The top is beautiful, it has lace detailing on the top half, which goes all around the back and down the sleeves. It fits really nice, it's a little hard to get my head in (when trying to avoid makeup) so it's best to put it on in advance. It also has lace beading around the neck area, and this does not go around the back. I love this top a lot, it's really beautiful and easy to put into different outfits, and it doesn't scream gyaru so I can wear it out without feeling prejudice. 

The skirt is also really amazing quality.  It's made of a thick material so it is completely opaque, but the material is so light and bouncy. I've never felt anything like it, and I am so glad I got it!

このトップスから始まります！

とても可愛いで、他の服簡単に合わせることができます！パールのアクセントも素敵だと思います！背中にもレースの部分もありので、セクシーな感しながら、 とてもソフトなイメージもします！

スカートもとても質が良かったです！知らない生地から作られていますが、とても軽いのできやすいです！

Next is this skirt from DaTura.

It's not the one that is in my previous haul blog post, I got this one earlier just to try out the brand. And I am glad I did, because this print is soooo beautiful and unlike any other. It goes around the whole way to the back. The only problem I have is that the lining isn't attactched to the bottom of the skirt, so when you pull it up for example, to go to the bathroom, you have to make sure you pull down the lining as well as the skirt. It's also a bit sheer in spite of having lining, so you cannot wear black underwear or tuck in a black shirt into it. In the video here, I just folded my shirt until it looked like it was tucked into the skirt.  

 次はダチュラのスカートです！もちろん質がいいんですが、ちょっと透けますね。そこはちょっと残念だと思いましたが、それでもこのスカートは気に入ってます！

 The last thing from my previous blog post is this me Jane dress. 

I was having trouble deciding if I should get the blue or the red/orange, and I am so glad I got the blue it is so beautiful. The material is lovely and light, but not good for a windy day as it would fly up. The belt also came with the dress, and while it does it's job, it's not the best belt. But it is alright, especially because I think I only paid 4900 yen for the lot.

このワンピースは１０９のウェッブストアから購入したものの最後です！スカートのところの柄がめっちゃ綺麗です！デートにこのワンピースを着た時、とても可愛い自分になったと思います！おすすめです！ベルトはちょっとやすっぽいけど、値段を考えたら別にいいと追います！

The next set of items I bought from a rakuten store called WanBoo. They sell second hand gyaru items, and some of the things are so cheap! (like 390 yen!!) The only downside, is they do not sort out their items, so you just have to go through page after page. The only way you can find anything specific is by searching for it (and even then hundreds of things can pop up)

次の服たちは ヴァンブーという楽天ストアから買った服です！もういらないか古いギャルのファションいっぱい安く買えるので、絶対に興味を持っている方、チェックしてください！

 

The first thing I got is this Liz Lisa camisole. I didn't want to show it in full, because I have large breasts so the camisoles look awful on me. But I like having the charms on the back, and I thought this one was really nice and simple!

まずはこのリズリサのキャミソールです。私胸が結構大きので、リズリサのキャミソールを着っているままが見にくいから見せないけど、後ろにチャームがちょっと出るとこがめっちゃ可愛いと思うので、購入しました！

 The next thing I got is this maxi skirt.

I don't know if I knew at the time and forgot, or if it didn't say, but this is actually from Lip Service! It's fairly long on me, so I'm only able to wear it with heels on. And the slip underneath is SO DAMN SHORT! I don't know what I'm going to do, but for 390 yen, I'm sure I can figure something out. It's alright if I wear black stockings underneath, just don't know what I'll do for Summer wearability.

購入した時知らなかったけど、ものマクシーのスカートはリップのだったから、びっくりしました！この柄のところがすごく可愛いです。ただ、私は１５５センチしかないので、ちょっと長かったです！それと、下にあるパンツが見えないようにある生地が短すぎます！！どうやって直せるかわからないぐらい短いです！

Next is these floral pants.

I'm actually slowly starting to get into wearing pants for the first time in my life. And I am so glad I got these pants! They fit so snug, though they do come down when I bend over. The pattern is soooo lovely and I can't wait to add this into a bunch of my cords. It's by the brand GAUDE, but I've never heard of them. For 390 yen, this was a steal!!

最近、人生の中で初めてズボンを履くようにしています！ なので、このズボンを購入してみました！購入して良かったと思います！バラも可愛いしい、パステルカラーなので春と夏っぽいです！絶対にいっぱい履けると思います！

 

Now these earrings are actually from my high-school friend who owns the store Luck and Lustre.  They are hand-made and come in a bunch of different colours too! She even has silver jewelery such as rings and necklaces. Please be sure to check her out, she is sososososooooooo amazing!

このピアスは友達が作ったものです！他にいろいろ作っていますので、ぜひ友達のサイトをチェックしてください！ここで見えます！

Lastly there is this skirt from Lip Service that I got from WanBoo. I was so excited to get it, it was the reason I made the order. But it is so small! I couldn't do it up at all.... There is absolutely no stretch and so unless you are super duper small, there is no way this could fit. :( I'm going to sell it on my Storenvy because it deserves a good home! The waist of the skirt is 60cm with NO stretch!!

最後はこのリップのスカートです。残念ながら、私のとってちっちゃすぎたです！なので、わたしのストアで売っていますので、気になる方はチェックしてくださいね！

Well that's it for this blog. I'm going to try and do a few more videos before my next course starts, so I'll see you then!!

これで、今回のブログが完成です！

次のブログまで、またね！
