So the other day I went out in this outfit....

I know it's pretty casual but I kinda liked it!

I'm really in to tucking in my t-shirt these days......It kinda makes your look a little less casual, don't you think?!

T-shirt : H&M

Scarf : H&M

Jeans : Zara

Bag : Zara

Flip Flops : Havaianas

Gold Gold Gold

I think I mentioned this in my previous post but....

I'm really in to gold these days.

It makes me feel a little more mature, a little more like an adult. *haha*

These are all my gold accessories.

It's not a lot but I'm slowly adding to my collection!

The small hoop earrings on the top right are the earrings I got from Yurina! Love them :)

And the elephant necklace I got from Accessorize. Even though I am scared of real elephants, I absolutely love this necklace! *haha* There is just something symbolic about elephants....

I got these bangles from H&M just the other day!

The colour, the design, the price.......PERFECT!!

What kind of accessories are you guys in to these days?!

Ciao!

Once When I Was Little

Such a beautiful song with amazing lyrics.

Check it out!

"Once When I Was Little"

I was the one who would always jump in first
I didn't think twice to look behind
Got such a good feeling just from playing in the dirt
Once when I was little

We could build a rocket, fly to the moon
Leave Tuesday morning, be back for noon
And there wasn't nothing, nothing that we couldn't do
Oh, once when I was little, once when I was little

Yeah, I could dream more then
I could believe more then
That the world could only get better

I could be free more then
I could pretend more then
That this life could only show me good times
Once when I was little

There was a time when I trusted everyone
There was no place that I would not go
Spend all day on the hillside next to the barley mow
Oh, once when I was little, yeah, once when I was little

Yeah, I could dream more then
And I believe more then
That the world could only get better

I could be free more then
I could pretend more then
That this life could only show me good times
Once when I was little

I used to feel so strong
Even when they'd tell me, tell me I was wrong
That I can't live in a magic world
'Cause it's time for me to grow up
And I've got to live like the rest of them
Well, I know things have been lost

Oh, I could pretend more then
And I could believe more then
That the world, it would only get better

Oh, I could believe more then, yes I could
And I could pretend more then
That this life, it could only show me good times
Once when I was little

So here comes the next one, next in line
Stay as young you can, for the longest time
'Cause those days flew by
Like a breeze just passing through
Once when I was little

Ciao!

Finally!

So I've been contemplating for a while now whether I should get Minnetonka boots.

The only thing that was stopping me from getting them was the fact that so many people have them.

But the other day, I was out with my mother and decided to just try them, to see how they felt and looked on me.

Boy are they comfortable.....

I haven't even worn them out yet but I absolutely LOVE them!

They're super comfortable. Now I know what you mean, Anna!!

Maybe I'll get the black or grey ones for winter! *haha*

Ciao!

Young Forever - Jay-Z Feat Mr Hudson

Sorry for the hiatus guys! I am officially back!
These past few weeks have been just hectic with tons of homework and tests to study for.

But fortunately, I am done with all that for a while!

So on the 16th, I went to this Thai Festival in Yoyogi Park with Yurina and Marina.

The food and the atmosphere was just amazing and I had the most wonderful time with my two girls.

We met up pretty early in the morning, (yes, 10:30 is early for us) and just walked and stuffed ourselves with incredible food. Then we headed to the more peaceful side of Yoyogi Park and just chilled a little bit.

The three of us

Apparently Yoyogi Park hosts some pretty cool festivals monthly. I will definitely be checking them out :)

Last friday, after school, Lorna, Mina, Joseph and I hanged out a little bit. We walked from Shinanomachi to Shibuya. The weather was amazing so even if it did take quite a long time, we had sooo much fun. Meiji Jingu was just so peaceful and mysterious in a fascinating way, I loved it.

Mina, Joseph and Lorna walking through Meiji Jingu.

Anyways, BIG NEWS! I'm going to go watch Justin Nozuka on the 9th of June!! Crazy right?! Never did I think that I would meet people in FLA that are obsessed with him! I will be going with the usual crew, Mina, Lorna and Miku. Seriously cannot wait.....*woot*

Ciao!

"You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore"

So I have decided to study in France from the second semester of my second year for a year.

I have yet to talk to my parents about this decision but I have been thinking about it ever since university started and researching what I need to know about studying in France.

I always seem to back out on things at the last minute but I am more than ready to step out of my box, step out of my comfort zone and go to a country that I have NEVER been to before and start a whole new life.

The reason why I am so eager to leave Japan is not because I hate Japan. I have learnt to like Japan and I do not think it is a bad country at all.

However, I love the world outside, or the thought of the world outside Japan too much.

I love getting to know people from different countries and cultures. I love learning new languages, even if it's just a phrase or even a word. I love visiting places I have never been to before.

The fact that there are tons of different lifestyles out there that we don't know anything about is just so exciting and thrilling you know?!

Although I am sure that I will face many problems and am fully aware that it's not going to be an easy journey, I am willing to go if it means that it will transform me into being a more broad-minded, knowledgeable and responsive person.

I plan to talk about it with my parents soon. It's not like they don't know that I'm interested in studying abroad. I have been telling them ever since middle school but we've never talked about it seriously so......that must be done first.

And then, I have to consult with several teachers at school. They need to "accept" me to the studying abroad program.

And, if all goes well, next summer I will be on a plane, off to France! How exciting!

Ciao!

Or should I say, Salut!

Catt Sadler

I love all these outfits. Want to dress up like we did on graduation more often!

Which one is your favourite outfit?! I love the left outfit on the second picture!!

Harajuku + Yoyogi Park + Shibuya

Yesterday I went out with my friends, Miku and Ai. Lorna was supposed to come too but she wasn't feeling too well!

We met up at Harajuku, did some shopping at Forever 21 and then, because we could not stand the crowd, bought lunch and headed up to Yoyogi Park.

The weather was amazing so we ended up staying there for like 3 hours.

I wrote this on my twitter but sunbathing and listening to really good music like James Morrison, Jason Mraz, Vampire Weekend and Alicia Keys is the best feeling!

Can't wait till the next time I go! Which will probably be VERY soon!

After relaxing at the park, Ai had to meet a friend at Shibuya so Miku and I went shopping again. H&M, Zara, Marui, Parco.......the list goes on. We eventually got tired though, so we decided to call it a day and head home!

Gold Rose?! Necklace

I've been looking for gold accessories ever since I got my first Linea Pelle. People who know me will know that I like to match my accessories. You will hardly see me with both silver and gold accessories. I tend to stick to either one.

Yurina bought me gold earrings for my birthday so I figured a necklace would complete my look.

This necklace is so simple but stylish at the same time. I love the rose design. Can't wait to pair it with the earrings!!

H&M Sweat Pants

These were SOOO comfy, I had to buy them.

Plus I figured these pants will go well with both flip flops and my Kari Ang heels.

This blogger that I like recently posted a picture of her wearing sweat pants and she looks really good and stylish!

Check it out HERE!

Forever 21 Athletic Shorts

I bought these for kickboxing! I didn't know these were only 880 yen but if I did, I probably would have bought another pair in another colour. They're so easy to move around in. I can't wait to kick some ass in these on Thursday! *hehe*

Miku and I in Yoyogi Park!!

If you look carefully, you can see my bangs! *hehe* I love them!

Anyways, I was meant to go out with Nao today but my throat was just so painful, I had to cancel! Sorry!

I feel selfish because I was out all day yesterday but I wasn't feeling well and I didn't want her to catch my cold. Hope I can see her and of course my other Oizumi friends sometime soon!

Ciao!

This is for you Yurina.

So quite a while ago, Yurina asked me to do a post about what I put in my bag when I go out.

I am pretty sure that the contents in my bag are probably the same as many other girls out there but I am bored and I have the time, I figured I might as well.......

Inside my bag

1. My pocket diary - This is a MUST! I feel uncomplete without it! *hehe*

2. My phone - I really want a blackberry! My friend in uni has a blackberry and he let me use it for a while. It was sooo easy to use! I WANT!

3. My Teiki - I am in love with my teiki now that I can go to Shinjuku without having to pay 180 yen everytime!

4. My iPod - I'm not one of those people that say "No Music, No Life" but I do love music and it does make a BIG difference whether I have my iPod with me or not.

5. My Casio EX-Z90 Digital Camera - I bring it everywhere! LITERALLY!!

6. My pouch - My sister left it at my house and I have been using it ever since! *hehe* Diesel:)

I have a lot of essentials in this. Therefore, I never leave home without it!

7. My Linea Pelle wallet - Ah, I love this wallet. The shape, the material, the colour, everything! I don't think I will be changing my wallet for a while!

Inside my pouch

1. Tissue - *haha* We all need our tissue!

2. Deodorant - I hate the smell of sweat. Therefore, I apply alot and I mean ALOT of deodorant during the summer.

3. Eye Medicine - I hate it when my eyes itch. So this megusuri is definitely a must!

4. Nivea Lip Balm - I have been using Nivea's Lip Balm since the beginning of high school. There's something about it that I like. Plus it's cheap. I'm not the kind of person that pays 1000 yen for lip balm you know?!!

5. Sanitizing Hand Gel - Yurina got me this from Hawaii. I'm very sensitive about dirty hands so this was definitely a present that I was sooooo happy to recieve! Such a thoughtful gift, Yurina! Thanks!

6. GUM - I need my gum! *haha*

7. Oil Absorbing Paper - Let's just say I produce a lot of oil. Ewww....I know! But apparently, I am healthy!

8. Wet tissue - I'm sure you have realized by now that I don't like sweat or any kind of dirt. *hehe*

9. L'Occitane Hand Cream - You know in the winter when your hands are so dry and they actually hurt?! Well I hate that feeling. So I carry this hand cream around and it actually acts as a substitute for like perfume and body mists because of the lovely smell.

10. Beauty-and-the-Beast-Like Mirror - I got this from Misato for my birthday last year! Every girl needs their mirror right?! *haha*

I'm sure you guys have absolutely no interest in what I carry around but hope you enjoyed this post!

Ciao!

50th Post!!!

I would like to dedicate my 50th post to Nylon magazine!*hehe*

Yesterday I was looking for a magazine to buy and decided to buy Nylon for a change and boy was I suprised. I bought it because obviously I thought it would be good but I definitely didn't think it would be this good!

I think I might actually stop buying Vivi, Sweet, Glitter and instead, buy Nylon from now on!

Here's a little peak of this month's Nylon.

Ciao!

"Let's have some fun, this beat is sick"

On Friday after school, Mina, Miku, Lorna, Ai and I (the usual five) went to Lock Up!

Before that we went to THE HUB and had a few drinks. Of course, I ended up drinking NON-ALCOHOLIC beverages! I just can't get myself to like beer, wine and all the different cocktails! As much as I want to, I can't take it! I'm glad that my friends don't push me AT ALL to drink though!

After THE HUB, we went to Lock Up like planned. It was fun. But that's all I have to say really. It wasn't like everyone was like "Let's go again""This place is dope"....you know?

And after Lock Up, we went karaoke-ing for a few hours! Which was probably the highlight of my day!! Mina is amazing at singing, everytime she sings I get chills! The new Amy Lee (of Evanescence)....I think so.

Ai, Mina and I at THE HUB!

Anna.....May 30th is Japan VS England in the World Cup by the way!

Mina wants to watch it at The Hub! *haha*

Brits!

Mina, Lorna and I at Lock Up!

If you have good eyes, you can see that the drinks they have here are totally crazy! They come in syringes, capsules, beakers....it is crazy!

I spent sooo much money on Friday so I am very much broke right now but it was fun so that's okay right?!

Talking about money, I SERIOUSLY need to get a job! FYI, Starbucks dropped me! *hehe*

Ciao!

"I think they should list shopping under cardiovascular activity"

So today I went to Shibuya to do some shopping with my mummy!

It was pretty crowded and tiring so we didn't stay very long but I had fun bonding with ma mere. I love her soooo much! *hehe*

Here are the few but very valuable things that I bought today!

Bracelets from Accessorize to add to my collection! *hehe*

There is always space for more! The ones at the top are the new ones by the way!

I love how these bracelets complete my simple outfit ALWAYS!!

Flower pattern cardigan from ZARA.

I thought it was different from the cardigans I have and perfect for spring! I love it and plan to wear it tomorrow!

KARI ANG wedges. My second birthday present:)

I couldn't pick between beige and black but I wasn't ready to step out of my box and choose beige! *hehe* So I opted for black! Like always! I don't regret that decision a single bit though! Black goes with anything and it's the one colour I look good in! *hehe*

Anyways, today's weather was just perfect wasn't it!?? I wanted to spend more time outside!! Hope I can enjoy the sun tomorrow!! I'm going to Harajuku with Miku and Lorna! Going to shop a little and then sun bathe at Yoyogi Park! *hehe*

Ciao!
