Summary of the past weeks! ♥

Hey Gals, how was your summer?

My summer was basically non-existant, due to horrible rainy weather in Germany... I rarely go the chance to wear any of my sexy summer clothes, what a giant waste!! I'm still upset that autumn is already here... Q__Q

I've been asked why I went on a hiatus again... it actually has a very happy reason! I'm getting married this month! ♥ (Just at the register office for now, but yay! xD)

I'm super excited and happy, I hope you all can be happy with me! 25.10. will be the big day ♥

Well, but such an important event also comes with lot's of preparation work... which explains my hiatus, I think. ;D

I'm going to wear my Jesus Diamante dress for the wedding ♥

I hope I can be a beautiful bride ♥

Some of you might know that my future husband is coming from Taiwan... his native languages are Taiwanese and Chinese (but he's also fluent in English and German), so I decided to learn Mandarin!

Obviously, this is just a random page of one of my study books. lol ~ Way too advanced Chinese here! I'm still at a beginner level. =P

It's still quite hard for me, especially because of the writing... I have to work out a learning strategy. xD" Thanks god I have the best teacher at my home ♥

Besides Chinese, I also improved my Gel-Nail skills, I guess! ♥

Favorite Nail-Set so far... I especially liked the middle finger! That's gonna be my wedding nails ♥

My coworkers always make fun of me, because any of my nails looks different... they won't believe it's supposed to be like this. lol

That was my Mermaid-style Nail-Set... wasn't too happy with this, but at least it gave me a little summer vibe.^^"

I also got new clip-in hair extensions from dirtylooks! They're really fabulous ♥ But I had a hard time to tone them to the matching color...

Left: Original Color, Right: After toning 3 times

And it's still not perfect yet! xD" Don't know if it'll ever be, but I'm not giving up! xD"

So... as I'm already talking about my shoppings...

 2nd hand d.i.a shorts ♥

I'm so happy to fit into d.i.a pants, I can't even describe the feeling! ='D

Super sexy d.i.a pants! Needed them in my life after I saw Yumachi wearing them on an EGG photoshooting ♥

 2nd hand d.i.a top! It's super sexy as usual, but unfortunately it makes my boobs look like meatloafs. ~.~ I guess I'm going to sell it soon!

ABSOLUTE FAVORITE D.I.A SET-UP SO FAR!! 

The first time I saw it on mbok was in February... but I couldn't bring myself to buy it, because it was quite expensive. Same thing in April, and then I couldn't forget about it anymore. (God, I am so sick. lol) When I saw it still for sale on mbok last month, I took a heart and bid on it! BEST DECISION EVER!

The skirt has built in shorts, and the material is fluffy and warm! I already have unlimited outfit ideas with this! :´D

Super comfy Ghost of Harlem shirt, because I'm absolutely into wings atm! ♥

Super cute Ma*rs Set I exchanged with Chewiee ♥ That's actually the back of the top, the front is just plain black - thought this side is more interesting. =P

Somehow I didn't take any full outfit photos recently, just some snapshots... but better then nothing, I guess. =/

That's actually a year old, I just happened to find it on my cellphone. lol

I was in Tokio back then, this was my cozy outfit for exploring Ikebukuro. =) I've met some super sweet girls at the train-station back then, they were all like "Wah, kawaii! Neko-chan!!" I wish I would have been brave enough to ask for a photo with them, they were so pretty and cute! Q__Q *forever too chicken*

Topic of the day: Put as much d.i.a on your body as you can. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. lol

Aaaand the cute Ma*rs Babydoll I just bought from Sui Princess ♥

What a mixed entry this has become! xD" But that pretty much sum's up the past weeks! =)

Thanks for reading, I'll try to blog again soon!

xoxo, Chira ♥

♥GAL IDOLS♥ [JP VERSION]

Hey sweethearts, thanks for staying tuned! ♥

So happy to see that I didn't loose any followers so far, but gain some instead! Thank you so much, I'm the happiest girl in the world! xoxo ♥

Seeing how "My Idol is..." posts are ever-so-popular, I thought I might as well make one! ;D 

Sakurina used to be my fav. for really long time, but now my taste seems to have changed... I still love her style, but other Models inspire me far more nowadays! Maybe because my own style changed a bit?

However, here's my listing! ;D (No particular order)

♥RIHO KATE♥

 She is not sooo famous nowadays, but neverthless has an AWESOME taste in fashion ♥ I love her rocking so many different styles and haircolors/hairstyles, and her face is just soooo cute and perfect ♥

♥YUN♥

Come on, everybody loves her, right? :´D

She's a bag of surprises, and she's so *** funny! I absolutely love the positive aura of hers, and her style is RAD. She never fails to give me inspiration - and she's the reason I got into D.I.A at all ♥

♥AMIHAMU♥

Goshikku at its best ♥ Whenever I think about this style, she immediately pops up in my head ♥ In my opinion, there's nobody that can compare to her. You are perfection, Amihamu ♥ 

♥YUMACHI♥

QUEEN OF AWESOME HAIR.

She's so perfect, I don't even know where to start. ♥ I adore her fashion style so much, there's no word for it! She never fails to motivate me to work on myself even harder (style and weight-loss), if I could just reach half of her level I could die peacefully. :´D

Even thought about cutting half bangs like her. Didn't have the balls for it yet. ~__~

♥COCONA/SERINA♥

She's a very well known AV Gyaru - and not only famous for her AV movies, but also for her rad style and make-up! 

Now that Gyaru style is shifting towards natural style, I just wanna kling onto Gals with heavy make-up like hers... This is how I would like to see Gyaru ♥ I absolutely adore any of her make-up styles, that heavy eyeliner is simply PERFECT ♥

I am trying to work really hard on myself, in order to become as perfect as they are... I might never ever reach that level, I am quite sure - but it still keeps me motivated to see their photos! I got so many ideas from them, I wish I could thank every single one of them personally ♥

THANKS GALS! ♥ You're forever perfect to me ♥

Oh well, before I end this post, I might as well photospam a bit. =P

Took them on the same day, was not sure about my outfit. =/

♥ROMA CODE♥

Dress: Liz Lisa (Sailor Dress)

Leather Jacket: Lodispotto

Boots: Esperanza (OMG I LOVE THEM)

♥MA*RS CODE♥

Dress: Ma*rs

Boots: Offbrand

Garter: Ageha

Now I feel like the outfits were kinda boring and under-accessorized. Gotta do it better next time. =/

But I was really fond of my hair ♥ I wanna stop using prisila hairpieces and use my own hair + extensions in the future - I find it suits me a lot better ♥

Ooooh, and a photo of the latest Iphone5 case I made ♥

My Mero ♥

See you next time, bye bye ~

♥♥♥ xoxo Chira ♥♥♥

I'm still standing

Hey sweethearts ♥

Sweet Queenie mentioned she can no longer access my blog... would even make sense since I abandoned this site for SO *** LONG. lol

It was a big shock, since I actually always loved blogging... the more relieved I was to see that I can still enter my dashboard, and see my blog. 

That tought me a lesson.

Here I am.

Time to write some entries!! (ò___O)/

And I actually really have something to talk about! lol And its Gyaru-related, YAY!

Recently I really got into crafting - my latest passion is deco-den ♥

I always thought I am way too clumsy to do some fine artwork like that - until my BF encouraged me to try it out. =)

So I got myself some blank Iphone cases, kabochons and rhinestones online, and started remodeling cases of chinese deco artists to begin with. 

IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.

And the outcome is not bad at all, I think. ;D

Kitty Case ~ Iphone5

 

Kuronba Case ~ Iphone5

 

Glamorous Case ~ Iphone 5

I am very happy with the outcome ♥

Now I feel confident enough to do own designs, and various cases / Items. 

I am very happy that I found a new hobby ♥ Its so relaxing!! 

Now I am gonna bling up my overknee boots, kihihi ♥

Sorry for this shortie, the next entry (or one of the next entries) will be about keratine hair treatment ♥ That will be a more refined post, I swear. lol

xoxo Chira ♥

Prisila loves Cecil McBee ♥

Hey sweethearts, are you enjoying summer? ;) 

Weather finally got better in Germany, no more rainclouds! Let's see if I manage to get a tan this year! xD

My favorite wig brand "prisila" came out with a new line dedicated to the japanese clothing brand "Cecil McBee"! ♥

Cecil McBee is a brand that you can mostly file under the keywords "adult cute". Their clothes have a cool, but playful look onto them. The wigs are created towards this image! 

Let's take a look at them! ♥

 Wavy extensions - 4,725 Yen

See more styling ideas here

Nothing too special, they don't differ a lot from prisila's usual extensions. o.O

Curly ponytail - 4,935 Yen

 See more styling ideas here

It's an extra curly ponytail to give some more fluffy volume, I absolutely adore that! *___*
Once my ponytails are dead, I'll go for this type!

Dango with removable braid - 4,935 Yen

 See more styling ideas here

Adding a braid is such a simple, but cute idea! I love that, but I guess it's cheaper to buy a normal dango wig and add a simple braid hairband. o.O

 Wavy curl full wig - 9,660 Yen

See more styling ideas here
Not really my thing, since I dislike the bangs and lack of volume here. But it might be very appealing with more adult fashion styles!

Little curl full wig - 9,660 Yen

 See more styling ideas here

I really love the girly cute look this wig does create! ♥

 Braided bangs full wig - 9,660 Yen

See more styling ideas here
Braids are a big trend in Gyaru for the past years, but I never saw a wig like this one! Very cute idea ♥

As you can see on the product pages of those wigs, they're coming with a limited Cecil McBee wig purse! Very cute to keep your make-up inside I think ♥
The prices of some wigs differ a little from prisilas usual range, Cecil McBee series tend to be a tiny bit more expensive. But they're cute neverthless. I just love brand collaborations ♥

To end this post, some more photos of moi ~ as if you would be interested in that, hahaha. xD"

 Tried out retro girly...

...and decided I'm too chubby for that style. lol
It was fun wearing that neverthless! But the flowy dress isn't really flattering. =/

Promo photo for maplelens.com monthly contest

Oh my face wtf. xD"
But it was the only photo you can see the blue lenses nicely, so well... ^^"

 Yaya, I admit it. I only wanted to show off my nails... lol

I really have a problem with my nose make-up recently! I have the feeling it makes my nose look way bigger then actually making it look smaller! I guess I have to practise a lot more on that... if you have suggestions for me, I would so love to hear them! ♥ I'm always eager to learn!

After going out...

...looking like a hot mess. xD"
I'm having a hard time keeping that ponytail tamed, since I'm too scared to spray loads of hairspray onto it. xD" (I fear it'll damage the wig fibers)

 Obligatory webcam snapshot!

 Okay, I love those glasses. I admit. 

They make me look smart at least once my life. :´D *forever blonde*

I'll be working on traumatology ward from tomorrow on, which I really look forward too ♥ It is one of my favorite fields in medicine, even though most ppl would find it horribly disgusting. xD"
Hope you're all having a fun time, too! ;D

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

Weekend plans ♥

Hey sweethearts, how are you doing? =D - I hope you´re all having a gorgeous time! x3

~This one will be more of a personal entry, not really an informational one - just to let you know, I don´t wanna bore you. =)~

This weekend, there´s a japanese festival held at my city - there will be a lot of visitors from Japan, that are coming from a japanese partnership-town of my city! My dear friend Chiho-chan will be coming, too - I´m so looking forward to meet you again, Krümelchen! x3

And since it´s a summer festival - I figured it´s the best decision to wear my Gal Yukata! *__*
I would love to try wearing it a bit more sexy and unique...

...like this!
Really challenging, since I don´t wanna look cheap. I hope I can pull it off like the model does, she´s so BREATHTAKING pretty! >///<

So, I didn´t wear Yukata for about 1 year...
That´s why I spent this afternoon trying to relearn how to put it on perfectly. lol

Even though I´ve got a lot of equipment that makes putting on the Yukata pretty easy (koshi himo, obi ita, etc.), I still needed 1 1/2 hours (!) to finish. x__X
Too many bows to tie, too many laces to get in place, too much accessory to pin on.
But well, that´s what makes a Gal Yukata pretty much... Gal. XD" = I simply suck in putting it on right now. lol

I used to even tie my obi on my own, which is quite complicated - but managable.
Now I got a pre-tied one, and guess what - takes me the same time to put that one on, since it´s tied with a string that just doesn´t want to stay in place. ~__~
*bothered me the most this afternoon*

Anyways, I´ll give it another try tomorrow. I need to practise so that I won´t look too silly this weekend.
If I really can´t manage it, I´ll just go out in my new Liz Lisa dress. lol


When I was looking for inspirational photos on yumetenbo, I found these cute kid´s modeling in Yukata!

Enough space for diapers! xD
That´s really somewhat cute, don´t you think so? :´D

But I like this one even better!2piece set with a cute bow!


I´ll try to take some photos of my outfit and the festival, and post it here soon! =)


BONUS:
My recent nails. ^^
It´s school time now, so I´m finally allowed to wear long/fake nails again! :´D
It´s a bit more rokku style - I`m really into that right now!
The thumb nail has got a big crown on it. And there´s a little pendant attached to the ring finger, it has got a bow and a heart that is saying: "Made with love"
x3

Have a gorgeous time! =D


It´s such a sweet, sweet life, isn´t it?

Strawbag customization ♥

I prepared this entry weeks ago, but I never found the time to edit and post it. =/
Before this entry´s going to die on my desktop painfully, I rather post the raw version now. XD" (Sorry, I`m still lacking the time for a proper, perfect post~ T__T)

Hope you´re all doing well girls, have a gorgeous summer! =D


It´s summer time now - time for light dresses, stylish hat´s, and of course strawbags! Haha, at least for me, strawbags are a big MUST-HAVE during every summer season. =)

Ever since I found out about Liz Lisa and Curvy´s, I fell so in love with their deco-ed accessory´s and bags - especially the strawbags of the spring&summer collections!

So cute!Liz Lisa Bags: left upper corner, right lower corner
Curvy´s Bags: right upper corner, left lower corner

But I never got myself to buy one in the end...
Some weeks ago, I found a very nice looking and cheap strawbag at a discounter, such as lot´s of cute flowers and ribbons - and so I decided to deco my own strawbag.
(NOTE: I didn´t do any crafting since I was maybe 15 years old. xD")

This is the outcome!

Haha, quite different from the bags shown above - but I still love it to death! =D

It was so easy to customize the bag! Definately worth a try, it´s really fun - and it can also safe some money. =)
I took a few pictures / walkthrough for you, to see how easy it is to create your own cute strawbag! =D

Up on the pictures! x3


Some of the material I used:

NEEDED:

~ plain strawbag (you can find them pretty much everywhere now, and for quite cheap! Mine was about 10€, if I remember right!)
~ plastic flowers / ribbons / dolls / whatever you find cute! =)
~ different ribbons
~ pearls or some other blingy things
~ glue gun (VERY important! You could try another kind of glue, too - but using the hot glue is the fastest and most solid way)

ADDITIONAL (if you´d like to add a drawstring closure like mine):

~ some cute fabric (I used and old tuniq that I didn´t wear for ages)
~ tape measure / pins / matching thread to your fabric / sewing needle / maybe sewing machine
~ sturdy ribbon

AMOUNT OF TIME:
Depending on how many details you wanna add. =)
My customization took me about 3 hours (mainly because of the *** sewing part. xD")


At first, I started with sewing the drawstring closure - this is an additional step and not really required. I just wanted to add it to my bag, because I feel more safe when no stranger can take a straight look into my bag. xD"

Sorry, I didn´t take much photos of this step, because I`m such a NOOB in sewing (especially when using a sewing machine. xD"). I guess it wouldn´t be a great help anyways. =/

This is the outcome of my amateurish try´s. xD"

Top: Those ruffles were added to the seems of the sleeves of the tuniq. I just cut them off from each side, and sewed the two of them together again to get one big line of ruffle.
Bottom: I cut two big rectangles out of my tuniq, and sewed them together at the short sides. Then I prevented the edges of the fabric from fraying with using a special kind of zig-zag stitching of the sewing machine. Next step was sewing a kind of tunnel on the top of the big rectangle. When I finished all the sewing, I slowly pushed a sturdy ribbon through this tunnel - to create the drawstring closure effect.

Aaargh, sorry. It´s so hard to explain that, so you may rather check some tutorials about "drawstring sewing" on the internet. =(
Sorry, but I don´t have the time to research for suitable links now, plz forgive me that! Dx

Here´s the outcome anyways!
After glueing the fabric inside the bag:
Not perfect (since not perfectly closing all the way up... lol), but still nice! XD"

After the sewing was done, I started decorating the outside of the bag. =)
I found a cute heart lace at a department store, and I just had to stick it onto the bag ♥
It´s plastic lace, so it´s easy to clean... but a tiny bit itchy therefore! xD"

Adding the lace...
I sued the glue gun to stick the lace to the bag. I glued the edge of the ribbon right behind one of the handles, so that nobody will recognize the beginning and ending of lace.
I only used small dot´s of glue every 5cm to stick the lace on the bag, to make the glue more invisible. (lace = has got lot´s of holes = easy to see shiny glue SOLUTION: only use small dot´s of glue every 5cm. =D)

Outcome...
Pretty nice, but still so naked...

So let´s add some flowers (or the cute deco that you prefer most)! =D
First, just lay the deco down on your bag to see what it looks like - don´t use the glue yet!
Just to get an idea how to arrange the deco at it´s best. =)

HINT: If you wanna glue a lot of different kind of / size of pieces on your bag, make sure you arrange the biggest parts first - then arrange the smaller parts after that. This will make coordinating your deco a lot easier for you! =)

Once you made up your mind, you can start glueing one by one...
This is how my bag came out after that...
As you can see, I rearranged the flowers - my first idea wasn´t the best, I found out. xD"

The bag´s look is pretty sweet already, but I wanted it to be more cute and princessy...So I made myself a big bow of one of the ribbons I bought before, and glued it at one corner of the bag. (You can find an example how to make a cute bow here! =D)
There was still some princessy bling-bling missing, so I glued on some different sized white pearls that I found somewhere around my house. =)
(Not easy to see them on the photos. =( It´s looking way more elegant and blingy in real life!)


FINISHED~
I decided to leave the bag like this. =)
As much as I love over-the-top deco-ed things... in this case, I prefer this simple and a bit more elegant look! =D


So that´s it for now! =D
I hope I could give you some inspiration to decorate your own super cute strawbag! If you do so, I would love to see some photos of the outcome! ;D


Have a great summer! =D

It´s such a sweet, sweet life, isn´t it?
