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

A Picture with Fifteen Facts ~Gyaru Blogging Meme~

I know this isn't the most beautiful photo of me, but this is the real me. And I love that little marshmellow next to me.

1. I am a mother.
Some of you might know that already, but for those of you that don't, I have a beautiful 17 month old daughter named Yuuna (優波) and she is everything to me. Sometimes I get sick of motherhood, but when she smiles at me or calls out for me, I snap out of it and realise that I would never give this up for the world.

2. I still want to move back to Japan.
When me and Shun decided to move to Australia, he said to me it would be good to go back for a year and see if I still want to go to Japan. It's almost 3 years later and a day hasn't passed that I didn't want to go back.

3. I actually went to Japan because I wanted to become an Idol.
Okay, I'm a bit embarrassed about this one. I used to do my own fandubs of anime songs and I was so into it. I didn't think I was the best singer in the world, but it was my dream. And I wish I pursued it a bit more instead of procrastinating the whole time I was in Japan.

4. I'm half Italian.
My dad's parents are both Italian and were born in Italy. My dad was born in Australia and his first language was actually Italian. He taught me a little when I was younger, but ended up stopping so I never fully grasped it.

5. I've been to 3 different high schools.
The first one was before we moved. The second one I left after a year because I was being bullied really badly. The third and last one is where I have all of my memories, and I'll never forget my friends from that time!

6. I'm studying Early Childhood Education and Care.
This means I can work at a daycare or preschool. I am about to start my Diploma this Monday and that will go for another year. I have already completed my Cert 111, but the Diploma will give me more power in the field, and it has better pay. Eventually, I am thinking I would like to get a Bachelor in Early Childhood Education and become a Primary School Teacher, and I would LOVE to teach Kindergarten!

7. I am a Jack of all trades, and a master of none.
I have a lot of hobbies, drawing, singing, craft, making videos, fashion, makeup.... but I never pursue anything fully because I get bored. So I'll move onto the next hobby... and because I do that I can never get REALLY good at anything, just better than average good. It's a blessing and a curse, because I can pick things up fairly quickly, but I'll never be amazing at anything.

8. I am a Libran, and a Libran through and through!
I am so indecisive, and hate confrontation. I would rather sit there and eat the wrong meal than bring it up. And if you ask me to make a choice, you better be willing to wait all day because I can't! I also am normally the peacemaker, and the person everyone confides in.

9. I like shopping... maybe a little too much.
I find myself shopping a bit more than I should. I would never spend more than I have, and will NEVER get a credit card, but I know I could save so much more money, but it just burns a hole in my pocket!

10. I'd love more friends from the gyaru community.
Infact, I don't really have any. Please don't feel afraid to comment or leave me a link to your blog, I'd love some friends who share in this interest!

11. I love spicy food.
Yes, the hotter the better. I do have my limits, but they are pretty high above the norm. I never really cared for spicy food until I got pregnant, now I need spice if there should be. And tabasco has become my best friend!

12. I also really love cooking.
I love finding new recipies, cooking them through and trying them. The next time round, I always put my own spin on it. I love finding new food combinations and cooking for my family!

13. I am a vegetarian.
I was vegan for 2 years, but since going back to Japan last year, I've gone back to being a vegetarian. I still feel guilty, and know that veganism is the best diet. But... cheese!!!

14. I used to have really bad depression.
I went and saw therapists, was on medication, the whole shebang!! But I got over it by myself and have never looked back. I still get sad sometimes but I can deal with it so much better now, and I love myself and am starting to feel more confident within myself.

15. I lived in Japan for 1 year.
I went to two different language schools, and have a few videos about how I got to do that. I am also going to make some videos about each school to give you guys an idea on what they were like!

I hope you enjoyed reading this, and be sure to comment so I can meet you guys!

Thanks,
ViVi

Sparkly Gyaru Nails キラキラビジューネイル

Video Here

Hi guys! I know it's been a while but I am near the end of my course now and we've got 3 assignments due every week, and I'm about to have 2 40 hour weeks worth of work placement so, I hope you can understand! 

こんにちはみんな〜　最近あまりアップしていないけど、今のコースはもうすぐ終わるから、宿題が半端ないいっぱいあります。そして、もうすぐ２週間の仕事の練習を行いますから、時間が全くないです。このコースが終わったら、もっとアップするのでお楽しみに〜

I did these nails two weeks ago, and I really loved them so much! So I thought I should make a tutorial to share them with you. They are fairly simple, but look so good and match a lot of different outfits. You can change the colours around to suit yourself as well

２週間前このネイルをやって、めっちゃ気に入りました！だから、みんなに教えたいと思いました！このネイルがそんなに難しくないし、いろんな服と合わせても似合いますので、オススメです！好きな色のアレンジでも、是非是非やってみてください！

If I can find the time, I'll try and do a talk-through tutorial on this blog post later, but for now I'll just leave you with the video!

もし時間を見つけたら、このブログにやり方を書くつもりなんですけど、今日はここまでにします！

See you later!

次のブログまで、

またね〜

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~

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！
