スジ盛り ♥♥ Sujimori!!

Hey Gal's, long time no see. ;)

Today I'm gonna give a short explanation about the most Gyaru-ish hairstyle of all:  
SUJIMORI ♥

What is "Sujimori" / スジ盛り?

Sujimori is a special way of hairdo, that is very popular not only in Gal styles - it can also be seen in Visual Kei, Oshare Kei and many other japanese fashion styles.

Most important for Sujimori: VOLUME & DEFINED STRANDS.

Sujimori is probably one of the most detailed hairstyles EVER, so it takes lots of practise and time to perfect it. If you look at the following pictures, you will understand why. ;D

 Gyaru Sujimori

Example of Visual Kei Sujimori

Different Variations - be creative!

Sujimori can come in different styles as well! There are countless cute updo's, hairsets with sexy braids, with short hair, straight hair... and the list goes on! Here are some examples:

Suji x Cornrow

Suji x Updo

Suji x straight hair

Suji x short hair

Sujimori evolves too... MEGAMORI!!

lol

While Volume is a MUST for Sujimori anyways, there are HUGE over-the-top hairstyles as well! They are still very famous for Kurogyaru and Goth Gyaru! Such big hairstyles often come in different haircolors, and adorned with little feathers or flowers ♥

"Black Diamond" Gyaru-sa made those "MEGAMORI" hairstyles really famous in the west!

How to Sujimori ♥

Japanese girls will most likely go to a hairsalon to get a hairset done by a professional. It's still something special to most of Gyaru, but there are certainly girls who get a Suji done every day (I am mostly talking about hostesses - having great hair is somewhat of their job requirements, i guess. lol).

Since westerners don't really have access to hairstylists beeing capable of Sujimori, we have no choice but to do the hairset on our own. lol

For obvious reasons, this is not the easiest job to do. Making a hair arrangement on your own head is quite hard already, so creating hundreds of perfect strands for Sujimori is really tough. It takes lots of practise, time, patience and motivation.

If you still wanna challenge Sujimori, here's what you'll probably need!

- Layered haircut (MOST IMPORTANT!!)

OR

- Wig with a layered cut

- Teasing comb

- Hairspray with strong hold

- Hairties & Bobby Pins for updo's or creating fake layers

- Curling Iron / Flattening Iron OR (hot) rollers

- Hair accessory if wanted

Obviously, I am not a master in Sujimori - so I don't even wanna start giving instructions or whatever. xD

But I wanna encourage you to watch some Sujimori Videos on youtube, they're really helpful! I'd show you my favorite ones! =)

Suji Updo

SUJI PERFECTION 

Cute half updo

My last 50 Cent:

Sujimori is probably the most GAL hairstyle of all, but it requires lots of practise and EVEN MORE patience. But obviously, it's totally worth it! Sujimori is an absolute EYECATCHER!!

I already failed countless times, giving good laughs to my BF because of looking like an exploded broom. ~lol
But I won't give up trying to perfect my Gal style, and hairstyling is a big MUST for me! So Suji is the way to go ♥

I hope I could inspire you a little bit. ;D

Let me end this blog with a little photo spam... lol

That day, I only wanted to practise Suji... but ended up fully dolled up. Stupid me. :'D

CHIRA SALE

Recent GET'S ♥

I just figured out that I didn't do a "recently bought items" post for soooo long... so here I go. ;D

These are the "best" items I collected since Christmas. =3

♥TALLY WEIJL zebra dress♥

Bought it 2nd hand for only 8€, lucky me! :'D It creates such a nice figure, I absolutely LOVE that dress ♥ Looks stunning with a tight blazer and highheels ♥

 D.I.A cropped top

As this is a belly revealing top, I wasn't sure if its really my thing... but it looks soooo nice when worn!! 

Now I only gotta find enough self-confidence to show my belly to public! xD"

 LIZ LISA sailor dress

 I wanted this dress since it was first released a couple of years ago... but back then, my bust measurement was just too big to fit in. Q__Q

I am very happy that I don't have a problem with that anymore!! LOVE THIS DRESS ♥

 GHOST OF HARLEM spiderweb dress

Sakurina has the same one in red ♥ How could I ever resist it? :'D

Looks awesome with red TutuHA zipper skirt and simple black top underneath ♥

 LODISPOTTO biker jacket

 OMG this jacket is sooooo comfy ♥ One of my favorite items forever ♥♥♥

It's super fluffy on the inside, and the pink leather feels so soft and cozy ♥

 MA*RS cat ear jacket

The infamous jacket I was chasing after for WAY TOO MANY YEARS. lol

Very happy to have one in my collection now, the quality is FAB!! ♥

 GLAVIL skull onepiece

I was literally crying happy tears when I bought this! :'D For me, this is the best item that Glavil EVER released ♥ I am soooo lucky to have it in my collection now, so thankful!! :'D

 D.I.A lacey top

Super sexy because it has an open back and a zipper up front, but it still looks kinda romantic ♥ Can't wait to wear it out with a long skirt ♥

Aaaaah, I really love the fact that spring is (finally) coming now. 

During winter time, I always feel soooo lazy with fashion and dolling up... but as soon as spring is coming, it's like my spirits awake again, haha! xD 

Now I got sooo many outfit ideas, can't wait to dress up!! ♥

xoxo, Chira ♥

♥♥♥ ...because Gals come in all sizes ♥♥♥

I just discovered Yumetenbo's new line "plum primo", and I am absolutely thrilled about it! I am not really their targeted group (body size wise), but I still LOVE this new concept! Finally a wide spread Gal "brand" is stepping up to cater bigger girls!! 

Girls come in all frames and sizes - and it doesn't have any influence if you can be Gyaru, or not!! Fashion is for EVERYBODY! 

And let's be honest - jp sizes run CRAZY small on most westerners. Beeing a size XS / 34 nowadays in Germany, I can consider myself VERY HAPPY to fit into a "Yumetenbo Glamorous" size M or even L (!!) most of the time. ~..~

Enough of the rant, let's look into the new brand!!

♥PLUM PRIMO♥

 ~CONCEPT~

Making cute and sweet styles available to size 3L to 6L sizes as well, because style is not limited to body measurements. ;D

~ Opened on 20. March

~ Available in japanese & english rakuten webstore

~ Catering a wide range of styles: Roma, Mode, Glamorous, Ora Ora... no limits ♥

~ Sizes from W3L to W6L

~ Max. Bust mostly like 130cm, max. Waist mostly like 100cm, max. Hips mostly like 120cm (depending on item)

~ Using stretchy fibers

~ THE MODEL IS JUST TOOO CUTE ♥

Let´s take a look at some of their clothes ♥

Sexy shirt of their GLAMOROUS line 

 Very flattering, I think ♥

 Ever-so-trendy long pastel skirts! 

OMG that model is sooo cute ♥

 Kawaii-kei offshoulder dress

 I always found this cut super flattering, and it looks absolutely comfy, too!

 Remake of the famous sailor dress!!

 ...now if this doesn´t scream Gyaru, I don't know... *__*

 And because Ora Ora rocks...

 *___*

Do I need to say anything more then that? :´D

Yumetenbo is stocking "Plum Primo" clothes little by little every week, so you should definately stay tuned if you're interested in their products! I believe they have lot's of awesome things to come!! 

I will definately check their stock every once and a while because I am obviously in love with their model. lol

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♥

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 ♥

Sweet Valentines Day ♥

Happy Valentines Day to all of you!  ♥
May you all have a sweet time ♥

I know most ppl don't really like Valentines Day for various reasons - but I can't help it and be crazy about it! I'm looking forward to this day for the past 3 weeks already ♥

Obviously, I made chocolates again this year - it wasn't a big surprise for my BF since I do this every year, but of course he loved them anyways ~ xD

Sweet Valentines Day  ♥

 Strawberry Cream chocolates & Peppermint Cream chocolates ♥

I was really happy to prepare these! I love making sweets  ♥

Since we're talking about "sweet"... once recent outfit that made me think about "graduating sweet styles" even more... I don't really dig it 100% anymore. =/

Giant hips... lol

Kay... 20 extra minutes of workout tonight. lol

Outfit Rundown:

Oh well, you might know I change my taste very fast. My love for sweet styles might come back with the beginning of spring. ~ xD

Anyways, I kinda liked my make-up that day!

Visible nose-stripe, yay! :´D

Not 100% satisfied, I wanna try drawing another kind of eyeliner next time - this style makes my eye rather long then really big. =/ I promise to practise some more! Ò__O/

Oh, and one more outfit inspired by sexy "Black Diamond" Gals ♥  

(My new inspiration ♥ Haha, I'm so going with the Kuronba wave now. xD")

Okay, I admit it... I fell for the leg fluffies. xD"  

(I always found them so stuuuuupid looking - until Black Diamond Gals convinced me they're actually really cool. xD")

Belt: d.i.a

Sorry, too much photo-spam about me. x___X 

(I spare you my face next time, promise! XD)

I also found something nice for all german Gals - or better said, girls in general! ;D

Sexy pink Agejo style hangers

 I found this in 1€-store called "Tedi" while I was searching for carneval accessories - such a great find! :´D

They also had them in Silver/Red/Lavender x Black lace combination, maybe that's more of your taste? ;)
They cost 1€ each! ^^

Wish you all a sweet Valentines Day! =D 

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

Recent buys ~ wish it was spring already! ♥

I've been doing too much shopping, recently. xD"

My BF took me out to go to Munich for a couple of times, where HUGE sales are going on ♥

So Gals, if you're in Munich you definately gotta check out:

~ ARICO shoestore at the main station (They're also running a clothing store at the other side of the main station, but they don't really have much to sell there. <.<) Can get a super cute pair of warm boots for 10€  ♥

~ Tally Weijl - Basically always worth a visit, especially if you're searching for sexy clothes that match Kuronba // Agejo style. They're currently having a big sale on sexy wool pullovers with deep neckline! I bought 2 of them ♥

Oh, and for all Lolitas: They're currently selling a mint colored leather jacket. Might be interesting for sweet Lolitas. ;)

~ New Yorker is currently selling a wide range of knit pullovers with crosses, that are very similiar to the ones beeing sold at Galstar! A perfect basic item for rokku style ♥

I'm very happy that I could make a lot of good deals due to those sales! ^////^ 

I also saw some very amazing clothes! Especially this one...

EPIC BRA

*___*

Too amazing to describe with words ~
Would look awesome under a sheer shirt, but for sure I'd never have the guts to wear that! xD

I also got some super cute clothes in the mail the past weeks ♥ Let me show you what I got!

Yumetenbo Onepiece "Antique Rose Print"

It is really lovely and well made, I'm so happy I got this ♥
It is fully lined, and flares out very nicely at the bottom! I hope spring is coming soon, so that I can wear this baby out! >///<

Yumetenbo blouse

LOVE ♥

There's nothing more to say, it's absolutely perfect ♥

I especially love the button and ruffle detail, so cuuuute ♥

It has now become my favorite blouse ♥

Yumetenbo suspender skirt

Unfortunately far too big on me. ;___;

According to the Yumetenbo size chart, it should fit perfectly... so I was kinda disappointed how baggy it looks on me. =/

I'll try to alter it, because it's to cute to re-sell it. >////<

...I love the tiny bow's on the buttons! ♥

I also bought this Liz Lisa pullover second hand

It is so cozy warm and cute, but unfortunately sooo baggy on me! Makes me look like a marshmallow. ;__;

(I'll try some more coordinates with it, but if it doesn't turn out well I might re-sell it. =/)

Dammit, I really spent too much money on clothes. So hard to resist the sales! xD" 

Time to save up a little now ♥

But for you...

Enjoy the Sales, may you all grab a nice deal! ;)

Kinda nonsense / no meaning post this time, some more reasonable entry's hopefully coming soon! XD"

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