my top 10 favorite online shops (for shoes&clothing)


hey gals, this is just a list of all my favourite online shops~(´・ω・`)
* click on the shop names to get to the sites





my absolute favorite when it comes to online shopping!
their clothes are fashionable and always up-to date. 
quality is really well and they also sell high end labels like jeffrey campbell, unit, minkpink and reverse.
most of all i love the 'by outfit' section where you can shop all the pieces for a perfect combination and also take new inspiration.




it's a japanese shop (and community) selling almost all the popular gyaru lines like laguna moon, emoda, jouetie and dazzlin. 
(so you don't need shop at different sites if you'd like to order clothes from more than one of these shops.)
i really really adore shopping there! but to be honest, i don't know whether they also ship to places outside japan so for people who don't live japan ordering  could be a little difficult. 
anyway, check it out ! ;D


No.3: Nasty Gal

this shop is actually pretty similar to akira chicago but with different cloth-lines. 
they sell the mostly the same brands.
maybe they focus more on the shoes.


No.4: lulu's 



No.5: Wasteland



No.6: Topshop












...

and finally my absolute must-buy for shoes! : 
No.10: Solestruck 




(they r just number 10 because they only sell shoes)

here's my latest akira chicago haul >

Circle Lens Review: Geo Xtra Lotus Grey + Geo Nudy Grey

so finally this is my next circle lens review 
( I'm soooooo sorry it took that long m(_  _)m )


Geo Xtra Lotus Grey

i atually think this lens series is a pretty old one but i'm simply so in love with these lenses and i've already got them since maybe half a year now so i decided to write a review about them.

this is what the design of the lens looks like: 


Lens Details: 

Brand: Geo
Series: Xtra Lotus
Diameter: 15mm
Water Content: 42%
Replacement: 12 months

comfort:
❤❤❤❤❤


the lens is really comfy but i don't recommend to wear these longer then 4-5hours because after this time you'll feel your eyes get pretty dry.

enlargement:
❤❤❤❤❤

the enlargement is my biggest plus on these lenses - it's so great but without looking too overtop.


color:
❤❤❤❤

they also lightened my eyes up a little and gave them a sparkly look. 
even though there is this big outer circle the lenses look quite natural on dark eyes.
i think it is the design of the pattern which makes them blend in with your natural eye colour very well.

overall:
❤❤❤❤

i personally love the design but maybe would prefer something ''lighter'' for summer especially for less make-up.
anyway i'm super happy about having bought them (also bought them because lots of my friends who have them recommended them to me).
but i do recommend this lens to everyone who wants to do big-eye-make-up.
i often wear them for parties and get lots of compliments for my pretty eyes then〜♪ 




now these are my photos wearing the lens: 



(last one was taken on a different day with different make-up)




well, in my overall review on Xtra Lotus Grey I talked about not being able to wear these on lighter make-up because of the strong expression they give your eyes but now i think i've finally found a perfect alternative to solve that problem

it is: Geo Nudy Grey

Lens Design: 



Lens Details: 

Brand: Geo
Series: Nudy
Diameter: 14,2mm
Water Content: 42%
Replacement: 12 months

comfort: 
❤❤❤❤❤

pretty much the same than Xtra Lotus Grey

enlargement: 
❤❤❤❤❤

even though they are smaller and the outer ring is so much thinner the enlargement is really great for their diameter i think. 

color: 
❤❤❤❤❤

they are a little transparent but light my eyes up as much as lotus gray lenses do (or probably even more) .
due to the thinner outer ring they don't look as dolly as the Xtra Lotus Seires but that also means you can wear them on a more natural make-up (which i prefer for summer)

overall: 
❤❤❤❤

i'm super happy with these lenses and just wear them like almost every day !
they are like the perfect summer lens for me and i just can recommend them to you. 
my current favourite. o(^-^)o

here are my photos wearing the lens:




 photos were taken on different days with different make-up again
 - last one is with flash -)





these lenses are both in grey because i'm currently so in love with that eye-colour!
I'm also thinking about buying Royal Vision Creamy Greyish Blue and Lilly 3 Tone Grey.
(*´ω`*)


hope these reviews were helpful

Lots of Love from Ireland ♪

hi everyone,  

I came home from my trip to Ireland on thursday 〜
it was super nice but unfortunately the weather wasn't so well...
it was always cloudy but nevertheless we enjoyed the time very much!
i love english architecture - it's so romantic i think ♡♡♡
I've also learned much about it and that the river 
through dublin is called the ''Liffey''.
all in all it was a very nice time in dublin 
and i'd really recommend you to visit there once too 
(if you haven't been there yet) ! 


here's a collage of some pictures i took :


(i just created it because it was faster then uploading all the pictures particulary)

for more information you can also check my japanese blog here if you want.

tomorrow i will go to sapporo by train for shopping ~ ♪
i also want to buy new circle lenses so i'll probably write a new review soon.


btw.: i will try to tweet more in english in the future(^▽^)ノ

New Hair 〜♪



hey gals,
yup, i've got a new hair colour. 
first i only dyed my extensions as you might already have mentioned. 
it's actually very similar to my old hair colour but little lighter and with pink underneath~
for the pink i used 『Directions - Carnation Pink
which is very soft and nature based hair colour 
so it doesn't damage the hair too much.


the only disadvantage is (if you want to keep the colour for a longer time) you need to redye about every 2 weeks because it's non-permanent. 
but actually this is perfect if you just want to try it or dip dye your hair.


i love pink(´∀`



ignore my grimaces_| ̄|○
~just love how the pink looks in this double bun or a braid~




 this photo i took later with my phone( ̄▽ ̄)


unfortunately my natural hair colour is too dark for the pastel pink 
so i needed to bleach this part of my hair(;_;).
that means i have to do looots of moisture care now!

Sweet & Easy Flower-top Cupcakes for Spring ♪



hey loves, 
this is my first little baking ''tutorial'' 
i hope you'll like it, even though it doesn't really 
fit into any of the categories i usually blog about.
i just felt like telling you about this because these are some of my favourite
cupcakes because they look so cute and make lovely presents.
and ... you have no idea how tasty they are! ~♪

this is what you need: 
(for 10 little cakes)

 *I've already mixed the vanilla sugar and the baking powder with sugar and flour

and for the cream: 

200g cream cheese (natural or yogurt)
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
chocolate cookies

you also need: 

10 little crocks
10 paper baking forms
10 green straws
&
10 flowers (i took plastics)
~(´・ω・`)


step 1 : 
put the crocks into cold water for about 30 minutes to avoid them cracking during the baking. 
then take them out, wipe them and put the baking forms in




step 2: 
hash the chocolate into small peaces for the batter. 
then put it into a pot with the butter and melt it. 
when your done, fill it into a mixing bowl and add sugar, vanilla sugar, 
the eggs, salt, flous, baking powder and cocoa.
whisk it until it's a smooth batter.






 step 3:
fill the ''earth'' into the crocks and then bake them in the oven at 175°C for about 20 minutes. 
then take them out and let them cool down.


step 4:
mix the cram cheese, cocoa and the sugar together and put it on the cupcakes.




now it's time for the decoration! (*゛ω゛*)
shorten the straws a little and put them into the cupcakes. 
take one for each cupcake. now you can put the flowers into the straws.
finally crunch the chocolate cookies up and sprinkle them on the cupcakes. 




finally crunch the chocolate cookies up and sprinkle them on the cupcakes. 


♡ ゚・:,。 you're finished! 




step 5:
enjoy them :) 


of course it takes some time and you need to buy all these things 
but you can reuse the crocks ( and maybe the flowers too). 
so in my opinion it's definitely worth a try. ( •◡-)-

ps.: don't be afraid - they won't taste like earth (^▽^)
