PIZZZZAAAAA!!

PIZZA NEVER BETRAYS! PIZZA IS TRUE LOVE!! LOVE IT, WEAR IT!!

And of course there's no better PIZZA wear than one made by my favourite Harajuku brand of all time - Candy Stripper!! I was just tidying up my wardrobe and realised half my stuff are from there. They do pop designs and I wear them to work most of the time, even when my job is of a more "solemn" nature. Do check out their "CANDY BURGER" A/W collection! Yummy!

And oh. PIZZA = ADVENTURE TIME = WE'RE FWAHAHAHAHAH FINN & JAKE! Therefore, PIZZA x FINN JAKE DR MARTEN'S BOOTS!

These 1st season mathematical Adventure Time Castel boots (released/bought 2015) are different from what I have so far. They're of canvas and slightly lighter. Dr Marten's has recently released final series, and personally, Ice King is Nice King.

Remember those accessories from my previous post? Yep they back because they dynamic.

My comments for the items stay mostly:

[TOP] Bornprettystore's "Geometry Pearl" bracelet "- living up to the usability x cost performance of Bornprettystore's items, suitable for pop/mode as you have seen from this and the previous post. No complicated details required -  just 2 metal loops and a pearl. Perhaps let me be able to open a little more it when I put it on? Because now, it seems like people with wider wrists might need to wear it with a little struggle. Otherwise, this item is niiiiiice.

OKAAYYYYY going to grab some lunch now. Maybe PIZZA! The shirt makes me hungy!

Fish & Chips

Being overseas for a period = short hiatus. Sorwee!! I thought I could finish updating this at another part of the world. I could never be more wrong. I didn't even have time to sleep.

So this set was taken shortly before I went off in late March/early April. This day, I couldn't be happier because I was able to wear one of my favourite food out - Fish and Chips!!

 

Except for "AND", the ingredients are illustrated. How cute! 

Tee - Frito Projects

Boots - Dr. Martens
Hoop earrings - Lovisa

  

Rounding up the look with three simple items from Bornprettystore - two chokers (black woven one and a tattoo one) + minimalist bracelet. Actually all three items are rather self-explanatory - there are no redundant details and fit every occasion! In fact I've been using them almost everyday when I head to work.  Look closely at the black woven choker and you can see interlined hearts! Actually this particular item comes in 12 designs! Scroll down for the list of items used or click here.

Receive truckloads of compliments from friends or colleagues with all-rounder minimalist bracelet. Lady, vintage, pop or punk all okay!

Tattoo choker (used "coffee" or brown)

Vintage style lace choker(used #8)

Minimal silver bracelet (used silver)

Wait!! Just found out that this look was selected by Dr. Martens as a shortlisted entry for the March 2016 #Shareyourstyle competition! Totally didn't know until today, because I have been fighting through April just to catch a few winks. Anyway, so happy! Fourth or fifth feature at Dr. Marten's till date! (Entry can be found on both FB and tumblr)

Bummer.

Exactly, bummer. I'm supposed to be at work today but landed at the clinic instead, AGAIN. AND ON A MONDAY. AGAIN.

What I dread about a Monday clinic -
1. The queue is exceptionally long because we know that it's an open secret that at least 50% of Monday illnesses are feigned. Please, get the hell back to work and give those who are dying a chance to see the doctor! Fortunately there were two doctors on duty today so I didn't die while queuing.
2. No matter how legit my symptoms are, there is still a high chance I'll be associated with those morons in (1) the next day I return to work. HEY! STOP IT OKAY?

Talking about bummer, I do actually have a bummer t-shirt, and some might already noticed on my instagram posts.

 

The face on Pikachu will be the face I make tomorrow when I hear "I'm soooooo concerned. So if you are sick just go home!" loop for fifty times or "Oh, you are sick, really? HAHAHA" joke.

And so last week I received an email notification from ZOZO - a massive online shopping mall from Japan. They were going to feature me in the tee and the pants on Fig & Viper's product pages! "Certified by staff" apparently. More legit that Monday clinic goers I would say.  Boots are the ones featured on Dr. Marten's #ShareYourStyle app October entry.

Here's a screencap on ZOZOTOWN. You can find this photo here (Pikachu tee) and here (heart cut-out boys denim). I'm pretty sure I got all the good DNA from my mum and dad so I'm not sure why they cropped my face. (I'm hoping it's the problem with their layout.)

Here's the original photo with half of my face.

Was wearing the exact same thing on Saturday when I was approached by a slimming centre promoter who tried to pass me a flyer. I just gave it to her, like, "HELLO? I AM WEARING A CROPPED TOP? If I'm oversized, WHERE DO YOU THINK I GOT THE CONFIDENCE FROM?". Hey, I worked freakin' hard to put myself into these tiny jeans. If there were anybody else who needed a slimming treatment it's the promoter herself.

HPY NW YR!!

A little delayed Happy New Year to all!!

My mom was nice. On day two, the first working day of the year, she started my year by giving me a mysterious scolding. Didn't know what's that for and still don't know.

2014 ended on a very happy note. In mid-Nov I was informed that my entry won their October "Share Your Style" app thing! HOW WAS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? "Overjoy" is an understatement. Like, waaaaaaay too happy. I mean, how many people on Earth has this chance? Perhaps 12 humans a year. Could be a little more. I swear all my luck in 2014 was used up in this and over-drafting a little into 2015's.

You guys probably seen the entry some time ago. (Recoloured version on the right side of this page!) BUT ANYWAY, YAYS!!

Docs in here are a pair of Pascal. Usually Docs are lined with yellow thread, but this thread used in these is white. Why I even bought this pair of Pascal is simple. BECAUSE MY LOVE (Tsuyoshi Domoto) WORE THESE, or rather something similar,  IN HIS DRAMA!! HOW CAN YOU NOT BUY WHEN YOUR FAVOURITE GUY WEARS THEM?

The screen cap is super blur, but you get it. By the way this drama is supposed to be a lousy parody of Ghostbusters. So lousy it's gooooooooooooooood. My white shoe laces are almost dying, so time to get a longer pair of laces like his! I just went to DM yesterday and totally forgot to buy anything. SHOKKU. AHO. BAKKKA.

The perk of being the month's selected human is, you get to choose a new pair of Docs. Tried my best to make it worthwhile:

And I think I made a right choice. Even one of the senior management at my workplace was digging them. This should be from the latest collection. Tattoo pattern never fails! ♥

*Wears Docs in tub*

PROFESSOR OAK: NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO USE THAT.

Live in Japan? Nah.

Very long absence + SORWEE!!!!!!! 

Here's the final styled-in-Japan outfit before I left for good! Hope you'll try something similar this summer (or not, your choice!（￣ー￣）) Fig&Viper's denim bustier used in this look was also previously featured in my late spring/early summer post over here and Ironfist's "Nightmare Catcher"skirt from my late winter look here.

Majority of the super cute accessories in this look were from www.bornprettystore.com as usual! The heart sunglasses, cross earrings, unicorn stud, lion necklace and a probably Cartier inspired nail ring in gold were all from here (THANKS!!❤)

 

This look was also an experiment for myself to see how many accessories I can throw into a single outfit before I start looking like a homeless person or the front of a garbage truck.

 

Few words of caution to those who are intending to get the unicorn stud. Although it's an excellent and super kawaii product, be sure to order two pieces if you intend to wear on both ears. Also, its needle and catcher parts are opposite from those of a usual earring i.e. the head's the catcher and the tail's the needle which made it quite difficult for me to wear. Make sure you have sufficient time to put it on before you go out.

 

BPS' simple gold ring could be Cartier-inspired or maybe not. Just saying was the first thing that crossed my mind when I first saw it on BPS. I am still trying to ask for saving up for the actual Juste un Clou thingy!

Bische.

"Layering using a bische", they say. "Wear a bische over a long sleeve t-shirt for a more grown-up look," they say. "Wear a bische over a sleeveless top to look more girly," they say.

I am not saying there should be a rule about how to or not to wear a bustier (commonly known as bische/ビスチェ by the Japanese). I am just not convinced about these Spring/Summer looks that have been appearing in every single Japanese fashion magazine at the bookstore.

Wiki "bustier" and it states explictly  it's "a form of lingerie". Lingerie = INSIDE, tops = ON TOP. I've no idea why Japanese magazines are digging these Superman styles. Bustier on top of a long-sleeve t-shirt? Maybe I'll close an eye. BUSTIER ON A SLEEVELESS TOP?! IS THERE EVEN A POINT?!

Anyway bustiers are one of the really-really-must-have items now because summer is gonna be hot like crazy. (Spring is almost hot like crazy). Got myself one from my current favourite brand FIG&VIPER!! OOOHHH SHINY SHINY GOLD BUTTONS!! Of course I didn't wear a top under it. I'd be slapping myself.

Opted for a [chemical-washed x indigo] denim + denim look! Foldable high-waist skinny pants is from my other favourite brand, GLAD NEWS. FOLDABLE! Seriously, when I move back to Singapore I'll run out of clothes to wear because Shibuya/Harajuku clothing brands have so much personality.

Okay, I kinda lied about Spring being hot, 'cos on the photoshoot attempt, it was freezing, my thinnnnn adidas originals parka, as expected, provided no warmth and we had to retreat. Hence photos styles slightly differ - sepia (shot on first day) and colour (shot on a different day). And oh, sorry about the laundry at the neighbour's. I didn't realise until the shoot was concluded and couldn't erase it nicely in Photoshop.

A little on the accessories! Studded and spiked love from www.bornprettystore.com (BPS)! I'm wearing their gold+leather studded bracelet and around my wrist, their spiked leather hairband also wearable as a necklace or bracelet. The perfect items for a punk or rock style!! ♥♥♥ I was so surprised the studded bracelet made my skinny wrist looked normal. At first I was kinda afraid it would be too big for me but no, it was totally not the case! Phew! Both these items add up to lesser than USD$10. Ya know, sometimes when you get spiked/studded stuff from the mall, those metal parts aren't actually metal but some strengthened plastic thingy. In contrast, these BPS items, despite their low price, their metal-looking parts are properly made true metal parts!

On my skinny fingers are a tangled heart ring from Agnes B. Yokohama, gift from, erm, nevermind and a priceless steel ring handmade by my husband-to-be! ♥

Here's how BPS' spiked leather hairband looks like when worn as what it should be worn as. I've been stalking Stylenanda's spiked hairband styles for half a year and am so lucky to find an exact one at a fraction of Stylenanda's price on BPS! I didn't really know how to use such a hairband so it took me a little time to figure out how to wear it properly. It looked really kawaii once I figured out everything. Hair styling advice? IMAGINATION.

BPS' also carrying these FIG&VIPER-ish Lion earrings which I knew I HAD TO GET THEM the first time I found them on the site. TOO CUUUUUUTE!!! A lion-something item never fails!! And the choker!!Diccha know diccha know diccha know? I MADE IT. Awesome desho? ♥ The aunty at the countryside crafts shop thought I wanted to commit suicide when I asked if the shop sells stuff for a "CHOKEr". Serious.

I've also uploaded one of these photos to Dr Marten's Share Your Style page on facebook, you can try finding me there too!

The Gym Leader

My other job option could be that of a ghost type Pokémon Gymleader. I could beat the crap out of my Kanto area Psychic-type counterpart Sabrina.

The Gym Leader outfit is the perfect Harajuku horror-kawaii theme, which is my personal style. The Bony Hand Peace dress from Harajuku brand Candy Stripper is the most expensive dress that I ever bought...an unimaginable $400!! (Japanese yen exchange rate was crazy in 2012!) It was totally worth though, since you don't come across a dress this good any other day.

 

 

I'm recycling the suspenders from Emoda and Dr.Marten's-looking GU sandals used in my Neogal outfit. Click here or scroll down if you missed it. I looked totally different!


Scary necklace ($2.99) from Bornprettystore (see similar at KREEPSVILLE666) + eyeball ribbon's from KREEPSVILLE666♥♥ BPS is selling a blood-splattered version + lot of vivid colours as well, but for this outfit, the white one was the best. Thanks to its simplicity I've been using it together with almost any other outfit I put on. It just goes with ANYTHING♥ Gold rings ($1.99) for a more convincing official Pokémon League look are also from Bornprettystore. These are from the set of nine that were also featured Neogal outfit.
