Update in life

Hi everyone!

Once again I´ve neglected this blog and I´m sorry I´m not so sorry. 

Taking a break was really nice because at one point I simply felt I were obliged to update this blog regularly, even when no shit has happened. Either way if there are still people reading my blog..I´m very humble and grateful!

The stuff with school which has held me down is still not solved, but they haven´t contacted me yet and for now I´ll just live my life and stop worrying about it.

This post will be very picture heavy so if you feel like frilly clothes, floral and pink is not your thing then exit is at the far right.

On friday I had a date with my girl Ingvild. I´ve been stuck in my room lately trying to finish my obligatory essays and hand-ins for Uni, however staying locked-up in my room forever is not healthy at all so I met up with Ingvild. We ended up going to Burger King and having bubble tea!

I haven´t had bubble tea since my best friend left for Korea so it was really great!

I don´t know many that likes bubble tea : ´(

As for the hair this day I was inspired by Liz Lisa GAL Minami. 

I french braided the side (not very visible) and made soft curls. Minami always have perfect hair and is such a great inspiration!

After tea and burger, we went to her flat. Ingvild had just bought this new gel nail-kit so she helped me fixing my nails while I watched Mean Girls. I felt like a queen lol

I recently got a job as a waitress (really happy about that) so I´m not allowed to have fancy or long nails for work so I had to keep it short and simple, but they are super cute and I love them! The color is so adorable!

And here is what I wore on friday!

Dress: Ma*rs

Knit: H&M

Necklace: gift

Shoes: DreamV

I feel like I´m the only one who has in dress in pink. All the other Gal´s have it in white. Actually I was considering buying the white one, but the pink one is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S so really glad I chose the right color!

Also a week ago I got this lovely Okarie birthday book and when I uploaded this on Instagram, she liked it!

I thought I was going to faint. I literally love Okarie more than I think I´ll love any man in this whole wide world so having her noticing me at was a life dream come true! 

Last but not least, my life is really stressful nowadays, but to be honest I like it. My work can become very hectic, but I love my co-workers. They are all so nice and we joke a lot which I think it´s important at a workplace. I also get quite nice with tips so I´ve bought some stuff recently.

New lenses in choco from the diamond serie. They don´t have the black timbal ring so I think they goes well with a more relaxed makeup-style!

 Ank Rouge 3rd anniversary stationary set.

Also bought Popteen and loads of Liz Lisa clothes!

I also got this furry Liz Lisa hat from Ingvild.

She used to be a great Liz Lisa gyaru long before I started to do the style myself (my inspiration), but now she is no longer gyaru and so I got this hat from her. I´m so tremendously in love with it and can´t thank her enough ;__; What do you think?

So that was some updates from my life! More to come hopefully, but now I gotta carry on with my essays!

So long sweeties!

Lilac all the way

Haiii gals!

Long time no blog. I´m not even going to apologize as I have completely fair reasons to not bloggin the past week.

Maybe not the funniest reason, but uniwork is at the moment my first priority. I had so much to do that I actually deactivated my Facebook for a short period. My past weekend wasn´t really ´´weekend´´for me. I spent all my time in the library reading as I was to hand in a essay on monday, have midterm-test on tuesday and hand in my ex.phil assigment on wednesday. 

Yesterday everything was handed in and I had some time to spare doing things I like. I went to town with my friend and we had some bubble tea and sushi. After that we went shopping. I haven´t been shopping in normal stores for ages and had a really nice day!

As I already wore make-up I didn´t want remove it so I just applied make-up over my casual make-up. Maybe not many of you guys know it, but I used to wear a lot of purple eye-shadow back in the old days, but then I went over to gyaru and thought it didn´t really fit. Pity because I like it a lot.

I´m trying to figure out how to make this go with gyaru because I´m considering using my lilac YSL eyeshadow-palate again and I haven´t used it for a long time. It´s almost as good as new.

Here was what I wore yesterday:

Dress: ACDC RAG 

Hat: Vintage

Collar: Accesorize

Top: New yorker

I bought the dress in Harajuku when I was in Tokyo last summer, but never worn it until know. The reason why is that it´s a bit transparent, but I figured out that my old prom-dress had the same shape as this one so I could wear it underneath.

Coat: Gant

You may not see the difference on the pictures, but I recently started to go to tanning salon and I´m trying to build up a nice tan for this summer! I actually look quite tan in real, but the pictures are not being very fair : (

I also tried to do my hair in a new way. I usually curl my hair all the way and tease as hell, but it´s not good for the hair especially not teasing. I tried to do some ´´sleek´´-curls, it takes me about 5 minutes to do it and it doesn't straight out right afterwards. What do you think?

Saturday in town & outfit

Hi gals!

On saturday I met up with my friend Keziah. We went to have some bubble tea and had a long chat about girlish stuff!

My make-up for the day! I like this picture, but somehow it doesn´t really resemble myself.

I look...younger here(?). Maybe that´s why I like it haha!

After bubble tea we went to do some shopping before we ended up at Burger king. What a ´´galicious´´ life. We took loads of pictures, I think the lady in the front of us was thinking ´´wtf´´ or at least her facial expression was telling us everything! It´s not fault we´re still young and wanna have fun! Can´t blame us can you? ´´Gals just wanna have fun!´´

Keziah bought Ageha from Neo Tokyo. I was considering buying it, but the gift that came with the magazine was a ´´Glad news´´makeup-puch and I´m not in particularly fond of Glad News so I dropped it.

There were many nice snaps in the magazine though..

This is my favorite. I really like the contrast between Himena and Sakurina.

I´ve never really been such a big fan of Himena, but after I watched her in kawaii international I gained new respect for her. Being a DOKUMO really isn´t just a piece of cake. Also some of her more ´´toned-down´´outfits where she wears Liz Lisa are quite inspiring so I might just give her a new chance!

After Burger King we went down to the Central station to take some pictures. 

Hahah this guy wanted to be in the picture so bad. He was funny and I wish Oslo had more people like him! Completely without any prejudice or negative reactions towards us.

He also offered to take our picture :

Me & Keziah. I don´t know what I´m looking at. Maybe a UFO.

This is what I was wearing for the day:

Sorry for the green´ish tone in this picture. I tried to adjust the color on my phone, but for some reason it still stayed green : ((

Top: Random store in Harajuku

Skirt: Liz Lisa

Boots: Mary Rose (dreamv)

Jacket: Liz Lisa

Bag: Dreamv

And this is what got that day:

Note. Some of the stuff I didn´t buy in Oslo, but it arrived the very same day in my postbox. 

I few weeks ago I had gone ahead and ordered some makeup I needed. 

From left to right:

Jewerich eyelash-glue

Candydoll blush in peach pink

Diamond eyeliner

Flower collar from Accesorize

Caramels with the flavor of White strawberry from Neo Tokyo

Micro fiber eyelid tape.

Hope everyone had a nice past weekend! I have so much to do nowadays so I apologize for being a little bit late with this entry, but I´m trying to keep it up.

Spending my day with good friends

Hi gals!

Today was indeed a very fun day. Most people have what we call ´´winter holiday´´, but as I´m in Uni I don´t have one, instead we have something called study day. I´m supposed to study on this day, but since my friend Christine was coming all the way from Sandefjord to Oslo I thought the reading could wait for tomorrow. So I went down town to meet her. My friend Martin was also there so we three went to have some bubble tea at the new bubble tea store  inside Oslo city.

peak-a-ru! I see you!

I had passion fruit milk tea and Christine had mango milk tea, Martin had mango fruit tea. I´m not really a fan of the fruit tea myself though.

The man behind the desk at the shop was really sweet and friendly, I prefer the tea they have at Grünerløkka more, but the service at this shop was so SO much better!

It´s been a long time since I last curled my hair so today I had to give it a go. Only sleek curls, didn´t have enough time to ´´mori´´it up, but I like it nonetheless. 

After that we went to have some burgers and chit-chatted for a looong time, then we went out to take some pictures.

Taken by Martin when I wasn´t paying attention, but somehow the best pictures of me are always accidentally taken by someone else heh.... I really like this picture!The shadow on my forehead is kinda weird, but never mind that ok?

I don´t post outfits very often as the lighting inside my room is terrible and I don´t have someone else to

snap pictures of me, but since Martin is studying photography I made him snap one.

If only I had my personal photographer or something hahah!

Jacket: Liz Lisa

Top: Tralala

Shorts: Ageha Shibuya

Bag: Tralala

my roots are unforgivable, but please bare with it. Gonna fix it soon!

Got myself some new stuff. I recently lost my MAC lipstick so I had to get a new one, this time I went to the drugstore to buy one . Since I always seem to loose my expensive make-up I might as well stick to cheap ones :´(

...and the new issue off EGG. I love this issue as summer is coming and there were a few tan gyarus and interesting street snaps!

Bonus:

I TOTALLY WANT THIS SANTA

Hope you guys had a great day!

Back to studying tomorrow : (

Old Popteen issue & new iPhone case.

Hiya! 

When I opened the postbox this morning my package arrived.

Last week I bought a old issue of Popteen from Gaijin gyaru sale. Wanna know why I was after

this one so desperately? ;)

Perfection!

I can´t wait to read it!

As you could see on the picture above I also got myself a new iPhone cover!

The Cocolulu one is cool, but kinda didn´t match my style anymore so had to get something more ´´sweet´´.

I love it! Got it from ebay for only 15 NOK. That´s crazily cheap!

It´s pastel pink although it looks coral on my screen.

Also today´s look. Decided for once to not have my hair braided up, but I guess it´s still a bit too cold for that so I´ll go back to ponytail lol

(yes my hair tends to be electrical when I have it down so that´s why).

Weekend and spending money that shouldn´t be spent.

My friday morning started with terrible luck. The way to Uni that usually takes me around 15 min took me this morning one hour.

ONE HOUR!!

....what a waste of time. I hate wasting my time.

First I managed to board the wrong subway. From where I live, only number 3 and 4 goes all the way to Uni, but I managed to go on number 1. This was not the first time, it has happened before, but here comes the better part of the story:

After I took the train back to the center I boarded the number 5 which I was sure went to Uni, but heck no. So I managed to take wrong subway TWICE and had to take the subway back to center one again to get on the right one.

I guess it was due to lack of sleep the past week and so being tired I could´t focus at all.

Friday night I went home to my parents. My brother was celebrating his 11th birthday and mum asked me if I could come and help. He had invited 10 classmates over for an sleepover-party. Crazy kid. I haven´t felt to tired since I started at Uni. I know this weekend has been completely alcohol free, but it feels like I´m having a terrible hangover right now. Last night I only got 2-3 hours of sleep because the boys would´t shut up. 

This was how I looked like. Right now I hate my hair....I have no clue about what to do with it .

The first thing I heard when I arrived was ´´Did you dye your hair again? IT´S TOO LIGHT´´.

Having a old fashioned mum and me being into gyaru has never helped me much hahah :´D

On my way to the train station I decided to drop by Neo Tokyo to get my monthly issue of Egg.

I love the cover of Egg february. After the disaster of a cover from Egg´s january issue, I´m glad they choose to have Mirai Saito as cover girl (with blonde hair). I´m not a big fan of Hana (brown hair), but I´m a really big fan of Mirai so it´s ok.

Last, but not least... I know I should be doing this right now as I don´t have much money to spend, but...

This Liz Lisa skirt wanted me to buy her! It was love at first sight when I saw it on gyaru sale.

The price was fair so I thought ´´why not?´´. I´m not gonna spend much money this months anyway since I´ll be going home to work every weekend.

Yeah, my dad is going to China so I´ll be working every weekend in february. It´s okay since I get paid, but it also sucks because I wanna spend my weekends with friends and go out.

Welcome to my closet my new Liz Lisa darling

Last week I finally got my Liz Lisa order ! If you read this blog regularly you might remember I made an order on a winter jacket from them as I was in desperately in need for one. 

...................

Not really, but yes I had to have a light pink one. I´ve got a hot pink from Gant, furry white from River Island, khaki green from Garula, off-white from H&M and so why not a different color this winter? The last thing I want is to wear boring black(ok black can be pretty fashionable sometimes, but you get my drift).

So here it is:

Tadaaah! I LOVE IT! It was not a long as I had hoped for. It looked bigger on the model, but hey it was one size and I´m obviously taller and bigger than the model. I´m just grateful that I can fit into Liz Lisa´s clothes. 

The jacket is kinda simple, maybe not very Liz Lisa´ish ? That´s why I fell for it, I can use this whenever I want as it´s so casual and comfy. Welcome to my closet baby! 

Those star-printed pants are by the way from MarpleQ. I know it looks weird with the jacket, but I was in a hurry and didn´t really bother to change :´D 

Still got the time for pictures thought. I´m a dedicated person, be glad.

(I like my smile in this picture though :´-D I often get to hear that I can´t smile. Yes sweetheart I can, but what I CAN and what I WANT is two completely different things)

...also I just noticed how stupid red lipstick looks with this jacket. Ok, lesson learned. Never again. Besides having pink bed sheets, pink towels, pink garbage can, pink make-up purse, half of my closet filled up with pink clothes (wanna guess my favorite color?). I´ve never actually owned a PINK LIPSTICK. I never gave it any thought since it never bothered me, but now...

Anyone wanna recommend me a good one?

Brand and color?

I´m looking for a pale pink one, not Barbie´s hot pink.

New Liz Lisa jacket soon to be mine

Happy 2013 guys!

I didn´t exactly had a great start this year . I caught a flu (not swine flu) and I´ve been in bed for 4 days, sleepless at night with running nose. I look like Rudolph. Only yellow. Today I got a little better so I decided to go and earn some precious money, but dear ...that was painful. I had a hard time concentrating so I had to go home early. 

Anyway I´m slowly getting better and this is s not what I want to talk about eh...

I actually wanted to show off my latest purchase!

This lovely Liz Lisa winter jacket! 

One of the things I love most about new years is sale as in  S  A  L  E , my four favorite letters.

This coat was originally 16 590 yen, but was on sale for 8295 yen. 50 % off! So I had to have it.

I actually wanted a more classy coat from Ank Rouge, but the one I wanted was sold out in the color I liked (and I didn´t liked the other colors) so I went for this casual jacket. A coat also has its cons, like compared to this jacket it´s uncomfy to have/wear when you spend so much time in the library. 

Like when I wanna take a power-nap on the table then I´d prefer to have this over me than a heavy coat. So overall I´m glad I went for this one : ) I just hope everything is gonna go smoothly and safe so I receive it soon!

Here is the model of the coat, but I picked the pink one. Actually I got a mail from the service that the pink one was out of stock...then I said they could go for the white one, but as they were placing the order they saw the pink one got a little re-stock and ordered the pink one instead! Thank you for making the right choice!

you can wear the hood two ways. 

From distance it looks like a normal coat you can get in any store, but baby Liz Lisa always make something special out of it! The details. Yup, I fell in love with the lacy details and the tiny ribbon on the zip. I´ve always loved details and I never overlook them. Sometimes it can make a boring item really interesting!

kira kira kawaii sugoi lolita bbq (≧▽≦) kya nya

... here is the pink version I ordered! I can´t wait to get it! Come at me mister winter!

I´m prepared!!
