Autumn tips!

For Japanese styles as Lolita, Fairy-kei, Dolly-kei or Mori girl Autumn has the best weather to wear fantastic outfits.
Say Hello! to oversized cute, fluffy and comfy clothes! Don't be afraid of wearing multiple layers and have fun mix and matching clothes.

The best Pop-kei clothes and accessories for this season are :
- Customized jeans coat. You can wear a hoodie under it for colder days.
-Long mokomoko pastel scarf.
- Sneakers. They will keep your feet warm and fit with almost every outfit.
- Earmuffs.
-Oversized hoodies and sweaters.
- Fluffy hats, actually those with animal ears seem to be very trendy lately.
- Legwarmers and tights.
- Bloomers.




Pastel colors remind me more of Autumn, but more vibrant colors are also a good idea to bring some color to this season. Cyber fashion elements as fake furry legwarmers or coats and metallic or neon leggings can perfectly work with Pop-kei.


Special activities for this time of the year.

1) As winter, cold seasons are perfect for knitting. If you don't know how to knit and you prefer to go for the easy and faster way, I recommend you to buy one of these kits, they are easy knit looms. They cost around 20$ and come in different sizes and forms. Soon I'll buy one and make a review for you.

2)Hiking on the forest or just walking on a big park. Even if this is more mori related, this easy and free activity helps you to relax, breath and even do some exercise. Don't forget to bring some food, music, a good book and some friends if you can.

3) Getting ready for Halloween. Halloween is not only my birth day date, but also the perfect moment to dress as crazy and act as crazy as you want. Before the last October's half, you should be preparing your costume and set a plan ( a party? trick or treat? both?) You can also do some other Halloween themed activities like decorating your house, cooking some horror desserts or designing a pumpkin.
And this was all for now, I hope you liked my fashion and lifestyle tips!

Outfits for college




On sunday I went out with Jiji to china town and we found the most amazing Kpop goodies store EVER! They have everything you can imagine about the well know groups. I bought a DBSK bracelet and a JYJ t-shirt. It may not fit my usual syle but it fits my heart hehe.

But I love them...


"We never leave because things become hard, we leave because they are not worth it anymore."
This entry goes for every fan around the world who can understand how I feel.

It is not a secret for anybody that fashion is one of the bigest loves of my life, however now I desire to talk about myself as a fan. It may be a lie if I say I'm a kpop fan. I really like to listen to Kpop, but the only reason I go to Kpop events and say I belong to this fandom is DBSK. Without a doubt, those five guys have changed my life. Lately, the Kpop boom has arrived to America. Flash mobs are being organised all around the world and we can clearly see the results of this effort, mostly in New York. The lucky big apple will be the host of two big Kpop shows this October, which explains why I'm making this entry. Before you start wondering, no, I'm not going to those shows sadly. You can't even imagine who much it breaks my heart and how many tears I have dropped because of that. At this moment because of a personal issue, there is no possible way I could go to New York to see DBSK. Sometimes, I wonder "Why can't I love local artists?" It would be a lot easier, but I simply can't. I can listen to their songs and dance, but I can't love them.


My fandom is getting broken in 3 pieces, fans are losing the faith, the time is passing and things don't seem to get better, but no matter what I can't turn my back to this huge family, because no matter how sensitive I'm or hor much it can hurt me, they still making me happy and inspiring me.
For those you can't attend to concerts, for those whose favorite band has disbanded or been on a long break, for those whose idols are in the army, for those you weren't there since the beginning, but will stay here until the very end and for those who have experienced a law issue. Lets all wait and support our idols! Lets all hope for the best!

We dont love them but....
...But we love them!

A first week at college

Outfit from Saturday
Expectations are most of the time wrong. Nothing is as good or as bad as it seems. My first week as a college student was better than expected, but the work and projects bigger and more difficult than expected.

The good points
- I feel at my place
- I can easily talk to people
- Teachers are nice
- There is a lot of people with cool hairstyles and looks
- I have friends studying there
- All my classes interest me a lot
- The equipment and places are heaven compared to high school
- I can listen to music while working in some classes

The bad points
- Materials are expensive
- My schedule is really full and makes me tired
- We are going to do A LOT of homeworks
- Sharing a locker
- The school is far from my home ( 1h to get there)


To celebrate this first week, the school organized a little party on Wednesday, between 12h and 2h. We had free food and music.
Jiji on Wednesday

On Friday after school, I went to china town with some of the rainbow-team members and two friends from school. We had Chinese diner , bubble tea and made purikura.


Finally, on Saturday , to say goodbye to Haru, a friend from France, we went together trifling and we also ate cupcakes. Sadly, as I have to save my money for school I couldn't get new clothes but I had a lot of fun!

Bento box!

In high school I used to only get salad and fruits for lunch, because I was kind of lazy and my school was close to my home so I could arrive home after school and eat whatever I wanted. But now, I'm going to spend most of my day in college, arrive early in the morning and get home late in the afternoon. In order to don't starve myself I decided to get a bento box and look for some easy and healty recipes.

The box!
I decided to go for a kit that has already everything. For 15$ I got : The bento box, a spon, a tote bag (I prefer using my luch box but it is good to have it) , a thermos for water , a little napkin and a small container to put extra food( I'm going to use it for dessert.).

The food and the look!

I like to cook, but I'm not an expert chef and I'll not have a lot of time during college, so I decided to go for something easy and fast to do. I made Japanese octopus sausage because it's a bento must, wanna be korean pancakes (the recipe) and a salad. For dessert my mother baked star shaped green cookies.

Being realistic, bento doesn't always has to look cute unless it is for a special occacion and you enjoy doing it. For now, I don't have any special supplies, but play-doo molds can do the work.


The surprise!!

I like to eat with chopsticks, but my bento only came with a spon so I got to buy a pair somewhere else. I found a super adorable pair for 2$ in a chinese store next to the school supplies. How weird rigth? Guess what? They are actually a pen too!! I was soo impressed when I discovered it! I could eat and do homework at the same time with the same tool.
