My Spring Wishlist

Unfortunately I'm not going to Japan this Spring but I always have a look at the new collections and try to find out what I would buy.
Last year I was really into Garula but since the last shop in Chiba closed this February I was a little bit disoriented.
At the moment I really like the collection of DaTuRa a lot. Maybe it's time to try something new.

My spring colors are: black, white and beige for the clean look and as contrast pastel flower print.

I like jumpsuits and onepieces 'cause it's easy to dress and you don't have to think about how to combine. So now let's start my virtual shopping day.


Cecil McBee Onepiece

Cecil McBee is one of my current favorite brands even sometimes the collection is kind of too 'normal' to me. This onepiece unifies my spring colors in one dress but it's also available in other color combinations.

Price: 7,452 ¥


DaTuRa Onepiece

I don't know which color I would decide for, I like both and the print is beautiful. And it would be really cute for a twin outfit.
Also I can imagine to wear that dress at a summer live.

Price: 7,452 ¥


Ma*rs Jumpsuit

On the first sight it doesn't look special but I think with accessories, big hair and a cute jacket it will be an eyecatcher.

Price: 5,900 ¥


Duras Onepiece

Just clean, elegant but also cute is that adorable onepiece. I also really like the combination with beige on the picture.

Price: 9,180 ¥

Ma*rs Onepiece

This is a lovely pastel flowered dress. I don't know if in the end I would buy this but I guess I want to try it on and have a look.

Price: 6,900 ¥

Cecil McBee Onepiece

Maybe it looks a little bit like a pyjama but I think it's cute and it's wearable elegant or casual, for example with denim stuff.

Price: ??? 


d.i.a. Onepiece

d.i.a. changed a lot and I don't know if that brand will survive without its typical style but let's see.
This dress is kinda cool. It's black x white and I think you can wear it in many ways.

Price: 6,372 ¥


DaTuRa Onepiece

This would be my perfect spring dress but I like the whole look with the belt and the light blue jacket. I wish I would have the possibility to buy it.

Price:
one piece 8,532 ¥
belt 5,076 ¥
jacket 10,260 ¥


DaTuRa Cardigan

This is a 2 way wearable cardigan and I like the oversized look.

Price: 8,532 ¥


Golds Infinity Trenchcoat

For colder spring days I want to have a beige trenchcoat. I love that classic style.

Price: 10,584 ¥


Cecil McBee Bag

In my opinion Cecil McBee has the best hand bags. I own a black one and a beige fringe bag but for spring a white one would be great. I chose this one 'cause it's clean and chic.

Price: 6,372 ¥


Flag-J platform wedges

No matter what, I really need new platform wedges! Unfortunately in Germany you won't get similar shoes. I can't decide if black or white, I like both.

Price: 7,452 ¥

Do you have a wishlist, too?
I really like it to look at the Japanese webshops and think about what to buy even I can't. My next trip to Japan will be maybe in September so I will create a REAL shopping list for autumn fashion.

Bye!

April showers bring May flowers...

キスミー!
Last week I got a little bit depressed 'cause I returned back from Japan and I don't have any idea when I will go the next time again *sigh*.
I had a great time again, met old and some new friends and I got an eye of the changing fashion there.

I decided, I won't blog about Japan... maybe just a summary or something like that...it's too much 'cause I was there 2 1/2 weeks *lol*.
But now...just thoughts and recent things ^^

To go shopping at Shibuya 109 was, of course, one of my personal highlights again but I had the strange feeling that a lot of things changed and Japanese Gyaru fashion is going to be endangered.
You still have the 'Big One's' like Ma*rs, d.i.a., Cecil Mc Bee (which brand is very lightening and not very gyaru-ish), Liz Lisa etc.
BUT a lot of shops changed in 109 and my friend Lau told me, that there is now an Adidas shop... I won't believe that until I saw it with my own eyes.
And I was surprised that SBY shop is closed in the upper floor... does anybody know if it will be re-opened?
There was no notice...

I was also shocked when I heard that the Gyaru bible, THE Gyaru magazine EGG should be discontinued. Why? No Ageha anymore, no Happy Nuts, no Soul Sister... magazines with less readers 'cause maybe too specific but...EGG???

latest egg issue...last one ever?

So I asked one of my Japanese friends to buy that mag for me a few hours ago and she send me picture after she got it. The cover is really unusual for EGG. Should this be the last EGG ever? I can't believe it but thanks to my friend I will have this last issue.
Is Gyaru dying?

Anyway... I still like that kind of fashion so I will continue to wear what I want when I want even I did never call myself a Gyaru!
And happily I discovered a brand for me again: GARULA!

I was surprised that I now really love the clothes. Until now I just owned a romper of this brand but last weeks I bought two sweater, a top and a hotpant.
So maybe it's love at second sight for me, ha ha...
It's a more lighter version than d.i.a., much more colorful, much more cheap but a little bit similar. Hopefully that brand will survive!

Because I want to change my style a little bit I want to sell some clothes. Maybe...if you're interested have a look at my Kleiderkreisel page.
I loaded up some things and will refresh my clothes there soon.

For my trip to Japan I had done my nails since a lot of months. I missed it a lot but it's impossible to wear long nails at my work *sigh*. You feel much more better with nails! Next time I will make them green for a Gachapin style, ha ha... I can't await it!

Also I made a decision to colour my hair again. I like my brown hair but it's a little bit boring to me so I will go back to blonde soon.

Yumachi inspired me for that style. I would like to have a mix between brown and blonde and maybe some light pink. I will never have just creepy blonde again but I think this is a good option!
So let's see, how and when I will go for it!

And last but not least: I started to play Pokémon X! All my friends played it and told me, how great the games are. Thanks to lovely Mao now I can try it by myself. She lend me her Nintendo 3DS with Pokémon X.
The design and the artwork is awesome! Even my hardcore Pokémon time is gone it's fun to me to play it again but hell, I don't know the half of the Pokémon anymore! How many do they have? x____X

Next weeks will be interesting I hope: I would like to visit the Japan Day in Duesseldorf, the DoKomi, an anime and manga convention and hopefully make new plans for my next trip to Japan!

 See ya! And take care!

8th day ~ Last day in Japan

So this is the post of my last day in Tokyo and I'm happy about that. I guess it's time for new stuff and leave the old behind.

Kirschu and I prepaired for our last day and wore nice coords 'cause we had a really good plan for that day.
Aya-chan had to work so she left early in the morning.

I decided that is was a good day to wear my new Ma*rs stuff what I bought together with Kaoru-chan. It was kind of strange to look in the mirror and see myself with brown hair oO

But I guess I really like it and I try to think that brown hair isn't boring, ha ha... Actually I'm thinking about some blonde highlights but that's another story.

Last shot at the hotel, we were ready to go. Kirschu looked very cute, she wore some kind of cute Rokku outfit and combined her Mint Neko vest with her selfmade 'My heart beats for the bassist'-shirt, especially made for the Golden Bomber live...
I really like that vest and I would like to find something similar, too!

First we went with Yamanote Line to Akihabara where we wanted to meet a friend from Germany, Kukki, who was also in Japan with another friend.
We had the idea to visit the Autumn Leaf together.

The Autumn Leaf is an ikemen café owned by Utahiroba Jun, the bassist of Golden Bomber. I read a lot about that café and visited their website so I was really excited to go there.
The entry was nice and a lot of sexy guys gave us a warm welcome but then we had to follow a stair down and were a little bit disappointed.

The room had a cold athmosphere, no nice decoration or something else and the waiters were very reserved. Kukki asked for a picture but our waiter said NO! Arrogant brat!
And it's fucking expensive there even the food and drinks are not special. I had a cafe latte and some kind of banana grape parfait. Very sweet and not that delicious.

Also the other girls weren't keen about that café so we just had a look at the more or less good looking guys while eating and paid really fast.

After leaving we sperated. Kukki and her friend said goodbye and Kirschu wanted to stay in Akihabara 'cause she has never been there.
I'm not that interested in Akihabara so I went to Shibuya again.

I had to buy some things I promised like some clothes or lashes. That's why I went again to 1o9. But it was some kind of stressful, I didn't have the time to have a look for myself, that really pissed me off.
At d.i.a. store I just bought a dress in sale for myself. I needed something for the flight back to Germany.

In the evening I picked up Kirschu at Hachiko and we strolled together through Shibuya.

And of course, we did some purikura. I'm not that big fan of purikura, you know, but Kirschu really like it so we had two rounds at a game center.

When we were finished also Aya-chan left her work and we met at Hachiko 'cause her office is in Shibuya, too. So I said goodbye to my favourite place and together we went back to Hamamatsu-cho.

Aya-chan, famous Hachiko and I

After refreshing at our hotel we decided to go to our Udon-ya for dinner. We were sooo hungry and beside my niku udon I also ordered tempura.

Aya-chan

After dinner we went for a walk through Shiba Park to Tokyo Tower which was, like always, beautiful lighted.

Goodbye Tokyo Tower, goodbye Japan! We went back to hotel for packing our luggage. The night was quiet, no earthquake that time!
Aya-chan took us to Daimon Station in the very early morning to say goodbye. I will really miss her!

At Narita Airport I became very sad. I knew that I won't see my beloved Japan for a longer time. We had to take the flight via London to Berlin.

A last outfit shot at the airport with my new d.i.a. dress. I really like it but I don't wear it that often. Maybe I will sell it soon.

On board I just watched movies like 'Strawberry Night', a really nice Japanese crime movie with English subs and also again 'The Hobbit'.
After arriving at London Heathrow we had to wait for our gate and there were no possibility to have a cigarette.
Heathrow is really the worst airport I ever was and I have seen a lot!
So I was happy after landing in Tegel.

7th day ~ A chaotic day ended in Ebisu

This was one of the days I didn't plan that it ended in THIS but nevertheless it was an interesting day filled with encounters, fun, beer, hair and lots of more *lol*

Kirschu wanted to make extensions during her stay and one of her US friends made very spontanious an appointment for that Wednesday so Aya-chan, Kirschu and I got up very early. I wanted to accompany her 'cause I was thinking about having extensions, too.

So we met up with the twins Meghan and Tara at Hachiko around 10 o'clock.
And, of course, it was fucking hot even it was early in the morning.

So we went to that hair salon I found at egg magazine a few days before. It was just 10 minutes walk from the station.

When I was there I really wanted to have extensions, too but I didn't want to have blonde ones so one of the twins, Aya-chan and I went first to a hair dresser who dyed my hair light brown.
I really can recommend Japanese hair dresser, you feel like a princess and you get a massage *O*

So that was my new hair colour. Please ignore my messy look, my make up which was gone far far away *lol* and the rest of my derp face, ha ha...
I was thinking about brown hair for a really long time but I was too scared 'cause I had blonde hair since around 15 years so it was a huuuge step for me.

After dying my hair we met again Kirschu and the other twin. Kirschu's extensions were already finished.

I was surprised that it just took around 45 minutes and she absolutely looked adorable! Sooo cute!

We were hungry after that hair thing so we decided to have lunch together somewhere in Shibuya. It was a nice restaurant but the meal wasn't my cup of tea.

After lunch we strolled a little bit through the area 'cause the guys of the hair salon were full at that moment and told us to come back in one hour.
We also made some Purikura.

That are the only ones I have with Aya-chan this time Q___Q Sorry for the bad quality but I'm not able to make better pics of them atm 'cause I'm not at home when it's daylight outside.

The twins left in the afternoon, also Kirschu wanted to explore the area so I was only with Aya-chan at the hair salon. But a big surprise: her husband, Kuni, was in Tokyo for business and visited us there. I was very excited to meet him for the first time but he was sooo kind and I was happy to meet him.
Unfortunately I forgot my cam that day so I only have the pics that Kirschu took >.<

Around 7 we picked up Kirschu at Hachiko. Aya-chan wanted to take her husband to Tokyo Station and Kirschu and I wanted to refresh us at the hotel and change clothes but then...a SMS from Kaoru-chan arrived...we should go to Ebisu Station NOW 'cause Oli, the guy we went with to Odaiba, was waiting there.
We wanted to go drinking that night and Kaoru-chan made the appointment so...no shower, no fresh clothes, no make up... Q____Q

After some trouble at Ebisu Station we finally found Oli and also Aya-chan arrived. So together we went to Yokocho.

I really love the Yokocho. It has so many charme and I decided to come back when I visited it the first time in April. Nothing has changed.

Oli and I

We had to make our food by ourselves...I don't like that very much 'cause before everything is ready for eating I'm starving...so I drunk a lot of beer...it was also a good dinner, ha ha

Kirschu and Kaoru-chan

Kaoru-chan also arrived but she was late 'cause of her work. I was glad to see her once more before I had to leave Japan.

That cutie was one of our waiters. Kirschu had a little crush on him and I totally understood, why. Unfortunately too young for me, ha ha
Look at the background *lol*

And our other waiter. He was sooo funny. We found out that he is from Osaka. I really love Osaka people.

our little group that evening

my cute Aya-chan

We had a lot of fun this evening and I really can recommend the Yokocho in Ebisu if you want to go for a drink and eat something in the evening with friends 'cause it's lively, all people there are very nice and you can get in contact there easy with the people.

Ah, and I asked Kaoru-chan to have a look at Keigo's bar if he's still working there and really, he was! I saw that cutie first time in April but...I didn't want to say 'hello' to him so I told Kaoru-chan and Aya-chan to take a picture of him <3
But...maybe next time I will have more courage, ha ha...

So...our day ended with a bill over 20 beer and we took a taxi to our hotel. Next day was our last day in Tokyo.
