Back To School Preparations!

                   Back to School!

Summer vacation's over and you know what that means. Time to go back to school! The beginning of the year is EXTREMELY important. This is when you have to make a good first impression to the teachers. If not, you're not going to have a good school year. Make sure to have everything prepared so you don't need run back and forth from the store during the school year. Unless that's what you want to do... Anyways, I'm going to show you some videos for great back to school outfits and some great ideas for school supplies.

              Back To School Fashion!

I don't about you guys but I really enjoy having different clothes for a new school year. Sadly I'm not able to afford new clothes every year so I reuse my old clothes and do some cutting and sewing and I have something new and different. Here are some videos on ways to recycle your old clothes to make better ones.

                Simple Knee Length Skirt to 
                  Cute Asymmetrical Skirt


                       Plain Shirt to
                    Simple Gradient Vest    
          

                         Tanks to 
              Lace Sweetheart Top 



             Normal Sweater/Top to 
            Cute Printed Sweater/Top 


                  Cute Bracelet
 (This has nothing to do with reusing anything        but it's cute for back to school)



          Back To School Decorating

Most school supplies are plain, if not too colorful. So instead of buying expensive ones that match your tastes, you can just buy plain ones and decorate it yourself. Also, school lockers are usually very ugly on the outside and inside so at least what we can do is make it prettier inside right? Here are some DIYs and locker decorating tips for school.


            Decorating and Organizing Your Locker



                       DIY Bookmarks


                          Dull to 
                         Cute Pens 


                    Pen Pocket Notebook


                   Personalized Notebook



I hope all of you students this post helpful. This DIYs aren't very expensive and very cute. All of these videos were easy to understand and really well made thanks to these great YouTubers. I hope everybody has a great school year and make sure to make a great first impression!   O(≧∇≦)O

Independence Day!

                                                          The Fourth Of July!!!

Tomorrow's the Fourth of July! YAY! Time to go to out and celebrate with everybody else! Well sadly I'm can't go since I live in Canada but I did celebrate Canada Day!

This post will probably be a lot better and a lot shorter than the one for Canada Day because I'm going to post video from YouTube for outfits for the 4th of July. Of course this way I don't need to explain much since it's already explained in the videos!

                           Nails!

Another great tutorial by Cutepolish! I love her videos! Anyway, the nail art is extremely easy! Simply draw stripes and stick stars on your nails, not that hard. Unless your hands shake a lot when you're doing your nails. 

                           Outfits!

                                              

ClothesEncounters' outfit video is just amazing! Her outfits are really cute and very simple! Plus she explains perfectly well why she chose them and what she paired them with. Unlike me who can barely explain something properly. XD


                                    

I love these shorts! They look so awesome! Since this is a DIY it may not look as good as the ones in store(sometimes better than the ones in store) but at least you can change it to however you like it! Plus they're probably cheaper than the ones in store.

Wow! This post is a lot shorter than the previous one. Maybe because I didn't have much to write about since the video explained everything. Anyways lets end this post with the USA's nation anthem!

CANADA DAY IS HERE!

                     Great Ideas for Canada Day!

Tomorrow is finally Canada Day! Is anybody going to the carnival, events, firework show or parades? If you are then here are some great things you can wear or make for Canada Day!

                             Nails!

                                         

Here's a nail art tutorial by Luvablenails. The red maple leaf and the beaver, isn't that enough to know that these nails are representing Canada?! Sadly they're a bit hard for those who can't draw on their nails.


Now this one is much more easier than the one above. This tutorial is made by Cutepolish. Her design is much more simpler than the one by Luvablenails. Even though it's just a red heart and some red and white nails, you can immediately recognize that it represents Canada. 


                        Accessories!

Nothing can go wrong with wearing a bracelet with a Canadian flag! You can wear it whenever you like! This bracelet is really just a sign of how we are proud to be Canadians or it can be a great souvenir for tourists! XD

I found this ring while I was searching for rings online and WOW! I love this ring! It's a maple leaf that wraps around your finger. The design is simple so it can match any outfit.

When I searched up necklaces for Canada Day, all I found was those Canadian flag tag necklaces. It wasn't cute at all. So instead I decided to search up maple leaf necklaces. A red maple leaf is one of the best ways to represent Canada right? Well this necklace is just a simple red maple leaf so I thought it wold be great for Canada Day. But personally I think this necklace is best during Autumn.


Well I really don't have much else to show you guys for Canada Day except for this awesome version of Canada's national anthem by Classified!

                                 

Have a great day tomorrow to all of the Canadians and of course to everybody else!

SUMMER IS HERE!!!!!

                   Awesome Summer Outfits

Summer is finally here! YAY! The terribly hot weather and the blazing sun mean it's finally time to take out those shorts and dresses! Well this only concerns those who live in cold and hot places like Canada but if you live in California... You're likely to never feel cold. (≧∇≦)

So today I am going to introduce you to one of my favorite fashion YouTuber and show you some awesome DIY for summer outfits! So let's start!

               Clothesencounters


Clothesencounters is a fashion YouTuber like I said in the beginning. Her name is Jenn Im. She is Korean American meaning her parents are Korean but she was born and raised in the US. 

Her videos are mainly just about fashion. She doesn't have much tutorials or anything but she has so many ideas for outfits. She shows us a lot of types of clothing and ways to coordinate them. Her style is very unique so it inspires me a lot.

Here's a video one of her video for Summer outfits.


              Summer Fashion DIYs

So during the Summer most of us girls tend to wear more shorts and dresses right? Some of us prefer to wear tights underneath our dresses or shorts to shows less skin or is that just me? Anyways, I wanted to introduce you guys to the Harajuku fashion trend Tattoo Tights. 
They seem like tattoos but they're not. It's just a print on a clear tight! Sadly there's not many stores in North America that sells Tattoo Tights. Maybe there are but not where I live since not many people actually know about this trend. Of course you could always buy it online but for those who like to save as much money as possible then here's an awesome DIY.

           
Easy right? Just make sure not to choose a complicated print cause it's going to be very hard and it'll take a lot of time.

From time to time I miss wearing long jeans during the summer. It's just so comfortable but it'll be too hot to wear! But likely, one day I found this awesome DIY on a Korean fashion trend. I don't really know what it's called but it's very cute. It's a pair of jeggings or jeans that has cut outs of bows.

                                   
It's actually quite simple but hopefully not too hard for those who aren't good at these types of DIYs. Only bad things is that you might get a weird looking tan on your legs. XD

Anyway, this is the end of post. I hope you guys will try one of these DIYs and be inspired for your awesome Summer outfits! I will be making a post for Canada day outfits and Independence day outfits in July so make sure to check them out! O(≧∇≦)O

         SecretLifeOfABioNerd!


I have only recently started watching her videos. Actually I started watching them yesterday but I instantly fell in love with her DIYs! She's aiming to be a fashion designer so she has a lot of experiences which makes her DIYs better. Her DIYs for clothes will be more complicated for those who doesn't know how to sew but DIYs on decoration or styling, no worries because she explains them very well! Here's one of my favorite DIY:
This is an example of DIY concerning sewing but she has many more without sewing so please go check them out on her YouTube channel SecretLifeOfABioNerd!


                                                            BubzBeauty!
Ah...Bubz, such a funny and adorable girl. I've been watching Bubz for a very long time. I remember her first video I watched was called Asian Invasion on her comedy channel Bubbiosity. After that I found out her main channel was Bubzbeauty and well now I've been following it since. I don't even remember when I started watching her videos XD 
Her videos are mainly makeup tutorials, hairstyle tutorials, beauty advice for girls and sometimes DIYs. She explains her DIYs and beauty videos very well. She also makes a lot of DIY facial treatment which are very easy and cheap! Like this one:
So cheap and easy to make! Plus your reusing the tea bag so you're not wasting anything! It's a pretty good thing because I'm Asian and well I drink a lot of tea! Anyways, make sure to check out her awesome channel BubzBeauty and her website Bubzbeauty.com!

Well,this will be the end of my first post in a month! I will be making my next post when I find something good to write and I'll also make sure it's going to be in June. I'm just so happy that Summer vacation is close!


Oh! Forgot to mention, I'm writing this post because I wanted to and not because they told me to. Plus there's no way those 2 awesome ladies know me.

Tokyo Fashion + Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

 Tokyo Fashion + Kyary Pamyu Pamyu



Tokyo Fashion is a magazine site on, as the name says, Tokyo fashion. They introduced to me many awesome brands in Harajuku. Of course not in person but they do put many videos on YouTube. They upload many interviews, parades, fashion walks and a lot more. They upload many photos daily on their website or app of people with crazy outfits or to them normal outfits. They are always up to date of fashion news in Tokyo. Even though I cannot attend to ANY of them but it's still fun to see some pictures of the event.

They recently went to 6% DOKIDOKI's photo shoot for their first bilingual mook(magazine/book)!



I just ADORED the outfits and background! The models were also very cute! I also loved Masuda Sebastien's hat, it looks like the mad hatter's. 

How many of you readers know Kyary Pamyu Pamyu? Not many, right? Well she is someone just as good as PSY. Maybe even better. Kyary is a model and JPop(Japanese pop)singer who wears crazy but cute outfits. She is well known in Harajuku because of her Harajuku style clothing. She also represents 6% DOKIDOKI. Kyary is not only cute but her music is just as cute and weird. Her music videos are weird as heck! Check out her MV PONPONPON!




Any of guys find that normal? Well I don't but I still like it very much. It's repetitive but very catchy just like Gangnam Style! Though Kyary's is more cute.

Anyway I know this post was short and not that good but I really wanted to do at least two post per months so ya... It's 11:53 pm so I better go to sleep and maybe I will update this post to make it better. If not I will remake this post in May! Hope every is excited for the sunny Summer that is coming soon cause I am!!!!!!! C:

Harajuku

            COLORFUL HARAJUKU

Have any of you guys ever heard of Harajuku? Well if you haven't then you'll discover a  crazy colorful world! A place where nobody is can be called weird or ugly.


Harajuku is a shopping district between Shinjuku and Shibuya. Every Sunday, a bunch of young people will go to Harajuku to hang out and of course most of them will dress up a bit or more like a lot. The picture above is just an example of a tiny portion of the people in Harajuku. As you can see, they aren't dressed like how we would on a regular Sunday. All of the styles of the world unite in this shopping district. Emo, visual kei, goth, lolita, decora, ganguro, hipster, vintage, hip hop, rockers, cosplay, every kind of style you can think of!

Today I will be introducing to you guys some of the most seen fashion styles. So let's start! XD

               KAWAII DECORA
              
Kawaii Decora is probably my most favorite fashion style out of all of them. If you translate it in English, it would be Cute Decoration. It's a very crazy, colorful and overloaded fashion style. The arms are usually full with crazy bracelets and the hair will be full of hair accessories. Usually the clothes are colorful and same with the shoes. Toys and plushies are a big part of Kawaii Decora. Sometimes it's a hair accessory or a bag. OH! I also forgot to mention that they have colorful hair as well. :D

                Visual Kei


Ah~ Visual Kei, I love this style just as much as Kawaii Decora. It's kind of a mix of punk and goth. Their clothes are usually black, red, white, the usual dark colors. It is more crazy and less casual. They tend to have medium length or long hair. The hair's usually  layered and styled like the ones you see above. Of course, some or most of the people will wear makeup. Usually heavy eyeliner and lipstick. Visual Kei is actually quite normal in Japan. Most rock band are either goth or visual kei like Dir En Grey, The Gazette, LM.C, Ayabie, Malice Mizer, etc.

                  Lolita

Lolita is a really elegant and cute style. The clothing involves a lot of frills and ruffly knee high dresses. They use a lot of floral accessories. Also bows and lace are used a lot. Most lolita are either Gothic or bright and cute like the 4 girls in the picture. Simply described, Lolita is a cute and floral princess like style.

So I finally finished introducing to you guys, the three main styles in Harajuku. There is more but I wanted to finish this post before the end of April. I had so much to do this month, I couldn't find anytime to finish this post. But I still hope you found out a bit more about Harajuku and make sure to check out TokyoFashion to find out about the stores and more on Harajuku!
