♥♥♥ d.i.a Fukubukuro 2015 REVEAL ♥♥♥ ~ Picture heavy!!

Better late then never ~ here's the content of my d.i.a Fukubukuro!! x3

I was hoping to get lot's of animal print and white items - I was a bit unlucky on that, but I still got AWESOME stuff! I also wished for as less shorts and skirts as possible, knowing that d.i.a will most likely only put size 24 bottoms in the Fukubukuro - impossible for me to fit in. x__X In this case, I was very blessed! xD Only one size 24 shorts, yayyyyy!! x3

The bag ♥

I really adore the style of this years bag, it has such a cool print! The material is very sturdy, it its simply HUUUUGE. 

I thought about using it for transporting my sports gear, but on the other hand, it's too pretty for that. lol

My Fukubukuro contained a total of 13 items, including the bag:
1 Cape
1 Jacket
3 T-Shirts / Tops
2 Knit cutsew

1 Cardigan

2 Shorts

1 Zipper Jacket

1 Longsleeve

Leopard Shorts

Super sexy, if they'd just fit. lol ~ They're size 24, so no hope for me. I'll sell them, if you're interested, just let me know!! I didn't even take off the tag. =)

Back print shirt in mint

You can't do nothing wrong with a sexy cut printed shirt ♥ It has a very light mint color, almost impossible to make it show up on a photo. I love the overall look and the print! However, it's made of quite thin material, and therefore a bit seethrough... that's always a bother. =/

Longsleeve Engrish print shirt in navy

This one came rolled up like a sausage, so I first thought it must be a scarf, or a face towel novelty... I was so surprised to hold a full longsleeve shirt in my hands when I unwrapped it! I am very happy with it, it's another awesome basic to work with - this is the kind of shirt you can never have enough of! The neckline is very deep, so it's kinda revealing - very sexy ♥

Knit cutsew

ITS SO FLUFFY!!! ♥

This cutsew is simply awesome, and really easy to coordinate! I've worn it with leather leggins and high waist jeans already, it's awesome! It has lot's of golden decorations, and the most adorable dangling heart lock x key detail ♥ Isn't it dreamy? I could just hold it and stare at it... ♥

Zipper jacket in offwhite

So happy with this one!! x3 I'm a sucker for printed sleeves and embroidery, so this one was a BIG WIN! Another piece that I can easily combine with my wardrobe ♥ The material is quite thin, even for a zipper jacket - but since it's meant to be worn over something anyways, I don't really care. =P

Neckholder Top

I'm so in love with this ♥
It must be the grapic print doing some magic, but it's so flattering when worn! It looks really sexy and fit's comfortably, and the straps are having cute star pendants attached to them!! I just LOVE those little details d.i.a is adding to their items ♥
The shirt is made of a thin knit material, and the black strap in the back will hide your bra's strap ♥

Golden glitter shorts

YESSSSS, Onesize shorts!! SO LUCKY! lol
They fit perfectly, and they're so flashy and cool! I never knew I needed glitter shorts in my life... I DO! xD 

The glittery fabric on the outside is a tad scratchy, but the inside is soft and comfy - so I wouldn't bother. =)

That's already all the shorts I got, so I was definately lucky! I can usually fit a d.i.a 25 size, but I knew my chance of getting that was low - so I'm super happy I only got one ill fitted size 24, and a Onesize shorts even!! So lucky I am!! :'D

Flowy black cardigan

It took me a while to find out what it even is, to be honest. lol The fabric is very soft and deep black, so it was a bit hard to make out the shape... and the heavy chains we're tangled up on top of it, so I had a little hard time. xD"
It turned out to be the sexiest cardigan ever!! I'm actually not a fan of bell-shape sleeves, but OMG - this one looks fantastic!! The cardigan is snuggling around the body, giving a really flattering shape - the lace on the sleeves is a really nice detail as well. And the golden decoration again is super pretty!! This one has 2 cross and 1 big feather pendant, I LOVE IT!! ♥

The oh-so-famous knit cutsew

This kind of cutsew is around for a while already, probably one of d.i.a's best selling items! I've seen it beeing content of many fukubukuro this year, so I didn't take any further pictures - I'm pretty sure you all know how it looks like! ;D
The knit is actually really thickly woven, and of perfect quality! I can see why so many Gal's are digging that item!! However, on me it looks rather unflattering due to the thick wool... it tend's to add up 10kg to my body, so I guess I'm gonna sell it. lol

Cutsew T-Shirt in navy

This one goes so well with my golden glitter shorts ♥

It's super comfy and sexy! The zipper in the front is functional, to show some cleavage if wanted ♥ The print is really awesome, but what I like the most is the straps on the collar - I became a sucker for glittering fabric, apparently. xD"

Sturdy leather detail jacket

OMG ROCKSTAR MODE ON. Do I need to say more? lol
LOVE LOVE LOVE this one so much!! It has pretty much everything I like on jackets: It's black, with leather details, golden buttons, golden zippers, FANTASTIC EMBROIDERY.

This jacket fit's like a glove, and again, is quite easy to coordinate. It even has a 2nd functional zipper in the front, you can see it at the fake leather part - that one would be possibly working on a super petite girl, I think it must look really cute then! However, I'm too fat to close it like that, so I can only use the regular middle zipper. lol

Beige Cape with fur detail

 So sad I'm not a cape person, because this one is actually soooo cute! Q///Q

The fabric of this cape is super soft - it's quite thick, but still flowing nicely. The fur detail on the hood is a tiny bit cheaply made, but still add's a nice detail to the overall look! I love all the golden buttons and the d.i.a logo pendant on the zippers ♥

What I like the most about it is actually the color scheme - soft beige x gold x animal print fur... how can I say no?! I might actually become a cape person now, haha. xD" Still searching for ways to make it work for me, I hope I can wear it out soon!! ♥

So these are all the items that I got! 

Even though not all of my wishes came true (lol), I'm still super happy with what I got! Most of the items are very easy to coordinate with my wardrobe, and they're all having a good quality! It also inspired me to try something different every once and a while (glitter, please? xD).

Overall, I'm definately gonna buy a d.i.a fukubukuro next year, too - may it be in person at 109, or by using a shopping service. 

Super pleasant experience!! No wonder Gal's from all over the world are lusting over d.i.a fukubukuro! =)

Melancholy~

Aaaaah, I feel like I'm getting old recently. lol
Looking at my past... I feel like I have so many things to look back to. Whyyyyy... when did life become so stuffed and complicated? xD"

I miss the carefree times, but it also somehow felt good to settle down recently. I'm starting to become a really good housewife and create a cozy little nest for me and my hubby. Nothing bad about it, right? =3

We finally got a dishwasher!!

FREEDOM.
I tell you. Best investment EVER! xD

Our kitchen is small, so we can only fit the chibi version of a dishwasher in there. xD"
I also sorted out lot's of kitchen machines that constantly got into my way, and got myself a ALL-IN-ONE kitchen machine...

NEW LOVE.

 It's called "Thermomix", and there's nothing it can't do. Smash, steam, boil, make ice cream...
If you talk nicely to it, it might even curl your hair and tell you compliments ♥ ...uhm yes. xD
(My sexist coworker called it "housewife playstation". ~.~)

Hello?
Did you fall asleep already? Haha, you probably did. xD
Enough of that boring stuff!

 

Even though I enjoy settling down, my love for fashion and make-up has never been stronger. =)
I can't believe that I'm into Gyaru for 6 years already, can you?! 

I'm recently looking back to where I came from, and to be honest - I had a good laugh about it!

Laugh with me! ;D

 Back then I thought my look was THE SHIT. xD
I remember how proud I was to wear my first pair of plain black 14,2mm circle lenses and that unstyled Cyperous wig from Japan. lol

But I'm very happy that I kept going on from that point. Practise makes perfect, right?
I didn't reach perfection yet, but that's okay - I'll be on my way. =)

I also came to remember my Western Gal Idols from my beginner Gal times... do some of you know the names Pin, Riv Riv, Monica Tang, Viivi and Zhi Zhi? Oh god, how I loved their style (though I'm sure they're all still gorgeous nowadays) - they've been a great inspo and motivation, so I guess I owe them a lot... thank you from my heart ♥

 

Beeing stuck in my memories, I also started collecting "old" Ma*rs items, that were super trendy when I started Gyaru. I managed to get my hands on these babies recently ♥

Lovely ♥

The furry one is a bit tacky... but I feel like that's exactly what I WANT atm! =P
Aaaah, I miss the times when Ma*rs still did those over-the-top designs... nowadays it's only flashy prints or toned down x golden buttons... =/

 

Also, after lusting over this for 3 months, I got myself a Coastal Scents make-up Set!!

 Brush Set, Lip Color Palette, and Eyeshadow Palette - WORTH EVERY CENT!! I've never had higher pigmented cosmetics, I'm super satisfied! I will definately buy from them again! =)

I feel like my make-up already improved because of it! Oh, and I also think I stepped up my Gel-nail game! =P

Definately not perfect, but I'm on the way. =)
From the "design", this is my favorite so far! =)

I love to do experiments and try new techniques, so I actually already removed these - I wanna do new nails tomorrow! 

I wonder if I should go for

Kuronba style Zebra & silver glitter & pink
or

Mature style Nude & navy

Hmmm... we'll see... ;D

 

I also did some experiments with my style recently...

Dug out my black wig. lol

Hmmm, this actually make's me wanna get my bangs cut... 

Nah, forget what I said. I'm too chicken to do that anyways. lol

This is how I would like to see myself all the time. ♥ Happy Wish ♥

I hope I can improve my style a lot more in the future, there's still plenty of way to the top! ;D

Today, I cleaned up my closet... so now I have 1.945.573 Outfit ideas, haha!

My Gyaru closet ♥

This makes me so happy. ♥
Cought myself sitting in front of the closet and staring at my treasures for 30 minutes ♥

On the other hand...

 I feel like a fu***ng brandwhore, and somehow have to question my spending habits... is this really okay? ^^"

Nyah, most of the tags were from my Fukubukuro anyways... ^^" *trying to console myself. xD"*

TEASER:

Next up: What was in my d.i.a & Glavil Fukubukuro? ;D
See you soon!

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 ♥
