♥ Gal on a Budget ♥ GO GO KLEIDERKREISEL! ♥

Today I passed my last mid-term exams, wohoooo!!! I'm very satisfied with my grades, I ended up with 2,0 in all topics, which is a very good result considering that I didn't study 100% of topics yet. xD" I'm super happy and in the mood to party hard tonight! ;)


Kampai ♥


Back on topic!

This is for all the Gaijin Gals out there that have the same problem with me: Shopping those ridiculous awesome clothes from Japan. I wanna get ALL OF THEM! >///<

Well, but that's where all the problems start - even the cheapest 2nd hand catch on mbok can turn out beeing a rather expensive deal, adding the shopping service + custom fees. Q__Q (Not to mention that going to customs office isn't a pleasant experience nonethless. ^^")

Luckily there are some alternatives! ;)
My absolute favorites are the european sellers on Gyaru Community Sales (because within Europe, no custom fees will apply for me), taobao.com for insanely cheap catches (unfortunately 98% are replicas), and for all residents of Germany & Austria: kleiderkreisel.de. OMG I GOT A CRUSH ON THAT WEBSITE, SRS. 


Kleiderkreisel is a 2nd hand base were you can find countless clothes for Girls, Boys and even Kids! It's not really Gyaru related, but they do have some Gal pieces tagged in - just check here!
Can even find japanese brand for a nice price ♥ I got my Tutuha Onepiece and some Ma*rs & d.i.a stuff from there, lucky me! ♥

Considering the Gal section has only 5-6 pages mostly, I suggest you to dig into the other categories to find some nice items - it surely takes a while, but there are great deals hidden everywhere! If you already have an outfit in mind, it should be an easy bite for you to find your desired clothes for really cheap! ;)

Let me give you some examples! =D
Some posts earlier I was talking about some coords out of EGG magazine that really inspired me a lot! Check here ♥

GET THAT LOOK!
 God... Awful feeling to see my pity self beside that hot chick model... xD"
Obviously it was impossible to get exactly the same style of clothes that the model is wearing, but I did my best to get as close as possible - and I'm very pleased with the outcome! ;)
My No. 1 focus was the flower print on white ground ♥
That coordinate cost me ~35€!  ♥ LOVE LOVE 
If I ordered all that brand stuff from Japan, it would have taken me at least 250€ I suppose - what a big hole in my wallet, haha. :´D 

MIX AND MATCH, BE CREATIVE!
I also absolutely crushed on that High-Waist Jeans, OMG ♥ Instant sexy ♥
I didn't really dig the shirt of the model, though - so I switched to pieces that suit my taste a little better! ;)

First attempt on the left side is "Glamorous code" - Full coordinate for 15€, LUCKY ME ♥ I liked it a lot, but it's not exactly matching the Gyaru-theme, I guess. It looks more like european fashion, beeing kinda tight on the body. =/

My 2nd attempt on the right side is "Casual / Boho Code", it cost me 20€ alltogether ♥ (Sandals were a present from my mum). That one fits the gal silhoutte a little better I think ♥

CONCLUSION: High-waist jeans are unforgiving, gotta work out a lot more. lol (And god, how a camera angle can change you from SUPER SEXY BITCH to OMG FAT LANDWHALE instantly... its sad. Q__Q)

Okay okay... xD"
REAL CONLUSION: Awesome 2nd hand clothes database + some spare time to go on clothes hunt + creativity = sexy new code for less money! ;) 
 Its so much fun, and also a big satisfaction! I'm addicted ♥ 
You should try it out, too! ;)





Since I was already about to take photos... some recent make-up ♥

 
Nyah, not perfect - but I'm getting there! ;)  
Dammit, I need new hairpieces. Hate that ratty hair! (Tried to dye in some strands some weeks ago, but they ended up beeing quite bold and too visible. Q__Q I ruined that hair even more... ^^")




Doing my work-out routine now to get that sexy body for summer vacation! (Bikini time giiiiirls! ;D ) 




After that I'll celebrate todays effort, oh yes. Some champaign waiting for me in the fridge, wohooooo ♥
Wishing you an awesome time, too! ;)

P.S.: I got the "one versatile blog award" from 3 really awesome bloggers, so looking forward to do this as my next entry! Stay tuned ♥



It's such a sweet, sweet life, isn't it?

Follow me ♥

Just a shortie today. ;)


I decided it's time to renew my blog a little. I started with adding two more options for following my blog!

I embed two icons in the sidebar on the right, you can now follow me with bloglovin' and blogconnect! Please check it out! =) 

At this point I wanna thank all of my followers so far, I really appreciate that you're reading all that random stuff I'm throwing on here! >///< Thank you very much!


If you have any wishes for future entries, just let me know! I'll do my best to make this blog more interesting! =D


I just got my new Tutuha onepiece in the mail last week, absolutely couldn't wait to wear it out ♥ That kinda more mature style is slowly growing on me!

Onepiece: Tutuha
Top: H&M
Shorts (not visible), Stockings, Accessory: Offbrand
Shoes: Bodyline

Dammit, I really need a new halfwig - it's getting really hard to style it the way I want! >///< Absolutely hate the gap in my hair on this photo! Q__Q
I wasn't really sure how to coordinate the Onepiece, in the end I went for a layered look. I think it didn't come out too bad at all, but I'll try another code soon (already got something in mind, hihi)

Close-up
Love that skull ♥


I also bought a second-handed Ma*rs set, and I LOVE IT TO PIECES. ♥

Shirt, Skirt: Ma*rs
Stockings: Yumetenbo
Shoes, Accessory: Offbrand
Hairpiece: La Pafait

Gotta admit that I wasn't brave enough to wear those stockings out. xD" I'm such a chicken, I know... but maybe they'll grow on me one day. =) (I don't feel THAT comfy about my body yet)


I'm was kinda pleased with my hair that day! I took inspiration from Ma*rs models, a lot of them wear a hairstyle that is kinda flat on the top, but very curly on the bottom ♥

Close up
Yeah, absolute make-up disappearance. 
Thanks Fuji Finepics. ~__~

Enough of my face-spam. :´D



I got my big pracitcal exams the next two days... I'm not really nervous, but too lazy to do all the work. xD" (It requires writing a lot of documents) 
And just now, the sun finally started to come out in my area - spring fever! I just wanna go out and have fun! :´D

Seems I gotta delay it for a while...

Well, I'm off to study now! ;)

 I don't want to...
xD"

 

It's such a sweet, sweet life, isn't it?

Happy Easter! ♥ Spring inspiration ♥

Happy Easter sweet Princesses and Princes!
Hope you found a lot of choco bunnies and eggs waiting for you, haha! ;)


It started snowing again at my place! x___X So I'm trying my very best to not get my easter holiday mood ruined, haha!
I already got a small milk choco bunny from my Mum, it is so cute! I have a hard time eating chocolate figures, because I just can't sacrifice to rip off the cute wrapping! :´D *silly girl is silly*

I'll spend the day with my family, it has become a tradition in my hometown that everybody is gathering on Easter Sunday. I'm so happy to see my godson again, he has grown soooo fast! ♥

Do you also have plans for Easter Holiday? =)


I might be very busy soon, because I just got myself a 2nd job at an outpatient care service! I'm not announcing a hiatus though, I will still keep on blogging every now and then - but the entry's might decrease a bit, or become shorter in general. Plz bear with me until summer. =/

I took the 2nd job in order to safe some money for a biiiig vacation in Taiwan and Japan this year ♥
I'm having a hard time to control my spending habits, not going to deny this. xD" *obvious habit is obvious* So the only way to get that money is working even harder. ;) 
(Sounds like a punishment, haha - but I actually really like it. When I had to work really hard for something, I enjoy finally getting it even more!)

I wanna travel to Tainan City, Khaosiung on of course Taipeh ♥
Beautiful Khaosiung Love River ♥

Yesterday I had some time to check the latest issues of Egg and Ageha! 
I was kinda disappointed with Ageha again. =/ The make-up tutorials are way too toned down for my taste (I miss the times when HEAVY EYELINER was the real deal... Q__Q), and the outfits were just so-so. =/

From Ageha:
Beloved Sakurina ♥
Red x Black is always KILLER, I love how she combined it with that chunky jewelry all over!

THAT HAIRSTYLE. *___*
I'm definately gonna try that out as soon as I got my new (second hand) prisila hairpiece! >////<


From Egg:
Old trends like high waisted Jeans seem to continue, just as long denim skirts (perfectly pulled off by Yun here, love her ♥)

Not that awesome at first glance, but I love how she mixed Kuronba & Ora Ora elements! 



Flower prints on white base tone might be trendy next season! Perfect match with dark, distressed denim - love that look ♥ 

My fav. Outfit of all ♥
I find it a very creative mix of pattern and material, and it's just TOO HOT to resist ♥




I'll be off hunting for some more choco bunnies now! =P Cross your fingers for me, haha!



It's such a sweet, sweet life, isn't it?

♥Kyabajo LOVE♥

 I'm sure many of you share my obsession with sexy Kyaba Gals, so I thought I'd make an entry about that. ;)


WHAT IS "KYABAJO"?

Kyabajo are basically Hostesses, working at "kyabakura" (Hostesses Clubs, counter part of a Host Club). 

I'm sure most of you know this fact already, but to complete the list: Kyabajo are NO prostitutes. 
Most of the kyabakura are just clubs were you can drink, play games and have fun with pretty ladies for a specific amount of money - Sex is an OPTION, but not a MUST. To make it more specific, Sex is even discouraged!

Sweet Amani has put it very well in the comments section, here's a quote:
With Kyabajo, sex is -usually- discouraged since the job is all about manipulation really... You're sweet-talking and trying to make good conversation and stuff and trying to make guys buy more drinks. But once you sleep with them there's always the risk of loosing that customers interest in the process, and that's very detrimental to your employment at the lounge. So unless it's a really shady club or something that pushes you to prostitute yourself, sex is usually a huge no. 
Thank you Amani ♥

So there are definately Pro's and Con's regarding this Job, but I don't wanna start a big discussion now. =)

For me, the most important PRO is the fashion Kyabajo mostly wear ♥



THE FASHION

Kyabajo mostly wear Agejo fashion including the typical Agejo hairstyles (like Sujimori). The make-up tends to have an extra bling, layered eyelashes and thick eyeliner ♥ 
Also, heavy deco-ed nails (Sakurina style!) are often seen, along with nice sparkling jewelry to complete the look. 
For a sexy touch, Kyabajo tend to wear a deep neckline showing much bust, and hot garter stockings. 
During daytime, big sunglasses are beeing worn (mostly to cover the black circles after a night of party).

The brand that mostly fits these specifics is, by no means: MA*RS! =)

Hmmm, sounds nice, but not that special... right? 
So what actually makes Kyabajo really special for me is...



SPECIAL WEAR

Kyabakura are famous for holding "theme nights" or "costume events". During these events, Kyabajo will dress according to the topic of the night. Here are some examples!

Gown Night (my absolute favorite ♥)
 Love the mix of light pink & turquoise ♥

So sexy! *___*

 Kimono-style gowns are also very famous!

Oh how I wish I would also have any occassion to wear such a dress... I would buy one in an instant, so beautiful! ♥


Suit Night
 Set by Ma*rs. Pink x black color combination is very famous amongst Kyabajo!

 Another Ma*rs Set - I love the chain detail sooooo much! 

 This set is done by Yumetenbo, it was featured on Ageha! ♥ (A tad too sexy for my taste, but very nice to look at nonethless. ;D)


Costume Night
 Oh well... since easter holidays are coming... xD


The infamous Santa costume! All over the Gal shops every year during November & December, haha. =)



LIFESTYLE

Mostly getting up in the afternoon, Kyabajo have to get ready for work SOON. And I mean SOON. 
The coordination of the outfit has to be done, as well as the heavy make-up. Also, the usual preparations mostly require a hairset by a professional hairstylist, which can take up to 2-3 hours (especially complicated Sujimori hairstyle). And that's not even counted as "working time" yet!

Work starts in the late evening at the Kyabakura - that means playing out all social skills, constantly keep your smile up, keep flirting, keep trying to sell drinks (because that's what Kyabakura actually make their money with) and keep drinking. 
Sounds like a big Party, but imagine you have to do this EVERY DAY, 6 DAYS A WEEK. x___X

Closing time is mostly in the early morning, which basically means: Hurry home and go to bed, to get up in the afternoon again. And the circle is repeating... 


As you see, keeping up a "normal" life as a Kyabajo is kinda hard.
Donki & Conbini stores are the best friend of those Gals, because they're open 24 hours a day. 
There's even a solution for shopping clothes during the evening and nighttime! Around famous Kyabakura districts, you will always see a couple of clothing shops carrying Kyabajo-style clothing. The opening times absolutely fit with the working times at the Kyabakura +/- 3 hours! Quite handy - at least a few stores for them to shop in! =)

Working mostly at night and sleeping at day surely costs a lot of energy, and they still manage to look absolutely flawless - I pay a lot of respect to all those Kyabajo out there! >///<




FAMOUS KYABAJO

Some of Kyabajo made it really far, becoming actresses, models and the like. 
I once heard that Himena Ousaki, the role-model of all Himegyaru, used to be working at a Kyabakura before!


Makes her even more adorable, I think! ♥




If you have more info for me to add to this post, please let me know! =D 
Special thanks to my better half over there in Japan, Mai-chan - thanks for sponsoring so much input (maybe...70%? xD) for this entry! ;)



Now some personal things... I'm happy that I could successfully complete my last big exam today, I'm so happy its over! It was really exhausting! x___X Now I'm excited to see my grades... xD" (Hope they're not too bad...)

During all this stressful time, my boyfriend was a big help for me! He was coping with my mood swings all the time and without complaining, always trying to cheer me up and care about me... Such a sweetie! Q__Q

One day, I was very down... so he allowed me to play dress-up with him! :´D It was so much fun, I dressed him like a korean idol, kihihi ♥

Ahhhw, I love this photo a lot. :´D
But it is so NOT him, haha. xD 
He felt kinda awkward in this outfit, even wearing make-up and shit. And to be honest... I also like him a lot better in his usual style, haha. 
But we both had a blast playing dress-up, thanks for that awesome day Honey ♥


Today, a very embarrassing thing happened to me... I'm still blushing when I think about it! xD"
I wanted to post a message to my facebook journal, just some personal spam about weight loss AND my latest measurements... BUT I accidentally posted it public at the Gal Sales, so embarrassing! And I didn't realize that until 45 minutes later, OMG... Please let me dig a hole and jump into it. xD"
I really hope I didn't disturb anybody, since the Gal Sales are for SELLING & BUYING things, but not for personal bullshit. =/


Anyways, I wonder what is the most embarrassing situation that happened to YOU recently? Let's share some funny experiences, haha! ;D


It's such a sweet, sweet life, isn't it?
