More summer inspo

I’ve been reading through my summer mags today! 

I liked these outfits with Bermuda shorts.. on one hand it would be nice to have those for work maybe but on the other hand I’m not totally sure if I like them on myself xD I never liked Bermuda shorts until I saw this magazine. 

What do you think? 

I finally got this top in the mail today!! This has been a serious dream item for me for a few years now and I never thought I’d find it at a non scalped price. It’s in perfect condition (✿ ♥‿♥)  

Shopping ^.^

 Hello!! I’ve had a busy weekend so far!! 

Yesterday I met up with my friend to go to the mall! I had to return a couple things and wanted to go pick new glasses. 

These are the glasses I picked! I’m so happy I was able to find sunglasses and clear glasses. The saleswoman said they should arrive in 2 weeks!! 

These were my inspo photos!!

I also got these two tops!! 

This one is from aerie! I was so excited when I walked into the store bc their theme right now is bright colors and tropical prints :0 

And I got this at Hollister! This has been my favorite brand recently, all of my cute jeans are from there. They’re the only store I’ve found that has casual clothes with cute details like bows and jeans with hearts and butterfly patterns. 

That’s all for this post!! I have more photos from today but I’m blogging from my phone and it won’t let me post any more photos rn ._. Look for the next post soon! Thanks for reading! 

Summer inspo

 Hello!! 

I wanted to share some of my inspo for the summer. Recently I’ve realized that as much as I like inspo for cute and sweet styles, I don’t really feel like myself wearing them. I still like wearing himekaji or ryosangatta outfits sometimes, but it just never ends up being something I reach for daily. So I’ve been trying to find inspo that works with the clothes I have that I feel comfortable in!! Sometimes I don’t feel gal enough in them but I guess that’s sort of my chronic confidence issue haha. It always feels like fancier styles are special and casual outfits are boring so I don’t end up posting them ╥﹏╥

Anyways I love this issue of Egg, I read it every summer!! 

I thought that lightweight baggy jeans and capris would be good for summer when I can’t wear shorts! I’ve been working from home since we moved but I think I’ll eventually maybe wanna go back. I’m just lazy bc it’s a longer walk now xD 

I like how she paired running shoes with her outfit! 

The makeup in this mag is really interesting! There’s so many different styles. 

I love her bright eye shadow, I haven’t found any bright shadows I can use yet but hopefully someday!! 

That’s all for now, see you soon!! 

Computer searching ●︿●

 Hello!! 

Today it finally happened... my macbook from 2017 is officially gonna retire. Tried booting her up to watch a stream and she totally overheated ●︿● I just finished backing up all my photos and photoshop files for my blog at least. But now I gotta find a  new one ... what do you use? I really only use it for blogging, shopping, and using photoshop sometimes to create blog deco. I looked at the price of new Mac laptops o(╥﹏╥)o and I really don't wanna spend that kind of money rn. 

Leave me a comment if you have any recommendations!! 

Here's some pictures of Luna and my husband in our new apartment as payment for you reading my boring post xD 

My Birthday (✿ ♥‿♥)

 My birthday was a few weeks ago! (✿ ♥‿♥)  

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

My husband and I went to a local cafe for lunch, I got a sakura late that was pretty good! Honestly it didn't really taste much different than a vanilla latte xD 

My birthday gift to myself this year was getting pink exte ★~(◡﹏◕✿) I've always wanted pink highlights but I was always too afraid to bleach my hair, I really know nothing about dying hair since I've never had it done before. So I was super excited when my hair stylist said she could give me colored exte. 

They look so perfect, I'm in love ♥‿♥ 

Next are my birthday presents. I hope this doesn't come across as bragging.. I just really like to see what people buy/get as gifts haha so I thought I would share.

My dad recently traveled to Japan for work and brought me this pearl necklace. It's so perfect, I love it! I've been really into star and cloud patterns lately, so I'm super excited to wear it. 

I was so excited that I got these sandals because I don't own any casual sandals for the summer! We're supposed to have really hot weather this week, which is perfect for sandals. It's going to be around like 85F/29C which is usually weather we don't get here until the middle of the summer. I need to make some hot weather outfits!

Some manga and one of my favorite disney movies ≧◡≦ I am trying to collect some on blu ray so I don't have to rely on Disney+ 

Lashes!! I wore the bottom ones at the tea ceremony which is why they're backwards in the case haha. I can't really wear lashes daily anymore so I usually go for an old school or reiwa look, but I'm hoping maybe I can wear these since they're much lighter than the lashes I've worn in the past! They were super comfortable for the tea ceremony so hopefully that's a good sign. 

New paints! All of my paintings are sparkly/metallic so these are perfect. I can't wait to try them out!

That's all for now, thanks for reading! see you soon (✿◠‿◠) 

Ego System inspo part 1

 Hello!! It's been a while since I got my ego system mags... I lost wifi when I moved to a new apartment and then i got lazy. lol. But I wanted to post a few pages from one of the magazines today!! They're just taken on my phone so they aren't super high quality or anything, but I wanted to share them since there's so little old school inspo online that isn't one of the more extreme gal styles. 

I really like Ego System because the gals seem really relatable to me. Don't get me wrong, I do love seeing the "fancier" magazines, but there's something about 2005 and earlier mags that are just really authentic and fun. These Ego Systems in particular feature a few gals without tans as well, which I thought was really cool. I wish more Ego System mags were preserved, but at least I can try to buy them when I see them (⊙﹏⊙✿) 

I really love the black and teal pants :0 

This reminds me that I wanted to buy another pair of lighter baggy jeans for summer!! Due to some of my health issues I can overheat really quickly now, so even when I'm just walking to work I want to have something cooler on. 

This makes me wanna get some capris xD 

It's so interesting to see that Cecil McBee had an old school presence as well. I always associate them with onee looks. 

I love the colorful tops that the gals in the top photo are wearing ♥‿♥ I always look forward to breaking out my bright tops for the summer!

The makeup section in gal mags is always my favorite ♥‿♥ 

I seriously wish that old school clothes weren't so hard to track down bc I NEED that orange print shirt.

I feel like I've seen some pink pants like this being sold somewhere recently.. maybe some of these trends are coming back (at least in the US)? 

It was so cool to see a pale gal with my hair color ≧◡≦  It's funny because in the US I can never find hair extensions or fake braid headbands etc in my hair color, so I was very surprised to find out that gyaru's dye their hair to my color! Maybe I'm genetically destined to be a gyaru xD 

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this brief Ego System inspo post and my commentary! I actually got the new Egg and Ageha for summer 2024, there were some cute trends in there so I'm gonna post them when I can. It's funny that my 2 biggest inspos are super old school or super current. I'm just a magazine hoarder xD 

See you soon!! ★~(◡﹏◕✿)
