I've been working sooo hard at uni that i have had nothing interesting to blog about. I might blog about my time at the Harry Potter Studio Tour that i went to on my birthday the other week but not right now.<br /><br />Today is a blog post about my Yumetenbo order!<br /><br />I placed my order through the DreamV Rakuten sight. I bought 2 items of around 1200yen each with postage of 1500yen or so.<br /><br />The order was placed on the 24th May and (i guess, i can't read the email they sent me) shipped out on the 28th May and arrived on my doorstep yesterday (the 31st May). Considering i was told that it would take around 20 days minumum to get my package i was very pleased and surprised to get it!<br /><br />The items i bought were these:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKYCPWu6Wz7q8jDl6OjU7Sg1f6KR3nCorCVcZh48t8kAHhhlTpwgd_bivbLT0glf0kFQllL-wpBNi1n9iN_EaAt5smyCm5-8BuVTQB1HfWH5Q_opKBc1KINYKSVxT8rqKkcjlttItoB1U/s1600/yumetenbo2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKYCPWu6Wz7q8jDl6OjU7Sg1f6KR3nCorCVcZh48t8kAHhhlTpwgd_bivbLT0glf0kFQllL-wpBNi1n9iN_EaAt5smyCm5-8BuVTQB1HfWH5Q_opKBc1KINYKSVxT8rqKkcjlttItoB1U/s320/yumetenbo2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5749027805116816242" /></a> <br />In Cream/Yellow<br /><br />and<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuBNnIUzn-z5vVvKqCIA9O1J-6k0Dc_F_mQuadsUTlB5LErMVV0gm6GYWXBy-gPk9JjxWNxvHbZA6YSUU6Yh136-vn0BCMlJgdbEsJWkf158qzUz8aoHH0vGMZeWXOv3X3p9zt0U8vaYs/s1600/yumetenbo.jpeg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuBNnIUzn-z5vVvKqCIA9O1J-6k0Dc_F_mQuadsUTlB5LErMVV0gm6GYWXBy-gPk9JjxWNxvHbZA6YSUU6Yh136-vn0BCMlJgdbEsJWkf158qzUz8aoHH0vGMZeWXOv3X3p9zt0U8vaYs/s320/yumetenbo.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5749026708535003938" /></a><br />in Pink.<br /><br /><br />The quality of the items is much nicer than I was expecting! i had heard somewhere that yumetenbo items, because they were relatively unexpensive, the fabrics were cheap and thin. However they were infact very thick fabrics! The fabric is along the same lines of a Jersey. Stretchy and soft, but it's think enough that it doesn't all go out of shape when gravity hits it. XD<br />The lace, although not the best is soft and the right colour and all the details are sewn on firmly.<br /><br />The items arrived in a medium sized box, individually wrapped in plastic envelopes, much like Bodyline do. They were folded in the box but not badly and not to the extend that it creased them. It was a well sealed box and i was happy with it.<br /><br /><br />The sizes i bought were a bit strange, the dress i bought in the 3L size as it stated the bust was 90cm (i am around 100cm) but i thought it didn't matter much as it is not an enclosed dress. and the waist is 78cm (i am 77cm). The back of the dress is shirred which means it fits great! and it fits my bust absolutely fine. The hips didnt matter as it is a flared skirt. The length of the dress is actually pretty alright, i was expecting it to be much shorter as i am taller than the japanese average. <br /><br />The Pawprint skirt is the item that really surprised me as i bought it in LL and the waist measurment stated 72cm (4cm smaller than my waist) I bought it however with the intentions of losing wait anyway and it would be a treat to myself when i lost it. however when it turned up and i tried it on it fit fine with room to spare! I'd say it is actually more like a 78 waist again. So i'm very happy with these two purchases!<br /><br />The shipping was quite expensive and the only thing about DreamV that i didn't like. They offered a more expensive faster shipping option however considering how quickley they arrived i don't believe it would be neccessary. <br /><br />Price: 8/10<br />Quality: 8/10<br />Service: 9/10<br />Shipping Price: 5/10<br />Shipping Speed: 9/10<br />Worth the Money: 9/10Hexihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02122037543709043221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787455612687546811.post-71555132383786929992012-03-21T09:47:00.002-07:002012-03-21T10:36:42.879-07:00Because it's been FOREVER since I posted anything (sorry!) I though i'd do this cute little list i found on Tumblr today. i don't know the source though sorry! ><<br /><br />I do have a shapping/haul post in the works and some other stuff so yeah.... i just have no time what with uni becoming horribly work intensive.... but yeah.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtAs96fLTVIvWctSawSU4LYz-xPRADyW6b7TloYAiCQk6-WbHo7ZWrzO9O-7qFjk6gmkQFftrf5BCzX5Pnc8WkCnzpZxEMK0CXc9iXmKupfnIMhkl5zAkui5FnnICOVUEDnadOMQuEIAw/s1600/list.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtAs96fLTVIvWctSawSU4LYz-xPRADyW6b7TloYAiCQk6-WbHo7ZWrzO9O-7qFjk6gmkQFftrf5BCzX5Pnc8WkCnzpZxEMK0CXc9iXmKupfnIMhkl5zAkui5FnnICOVUEDnadOMQuEIAw/s320/list.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722393303655125554" /></a><br /><br />1: make me laugh, support my obsessions, play video games, be hygenic and tidy (im really messy so someone has to be tidy. XD), buy me presents.<br /><br />2: I feel strongly about always reading a franchises books. Whether before or after, it doesnt really matter (but before gets you brownie points). Things such as Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Twilight etc.... all those films become much clearer and understandable once you have read the books. Any film that was originally a book is like this. you understand and see and hear sooo much more if you have already read the story they came from. <br /><br />3: oh my. so so so many. Memoirs of a Geisha is maybe my favourite though.<br /><br />4: - wake up stupidly early because of my mysterious pain in my side.<br />- say goodbye to boyfriend as he leaves for work<br />- play Draw Something for an hour while lolling around in bed<br />- leave to go home (getting in at 9.00am)<br />- Do uni work<br />- go to drs appointment<br />- get food and snacks at the korean food store<br />- pick up prescription<br />- go home and do more uni work<br />-sit on Tumblr for 2 hours<br />_ write blog post.<br /><br />that's it so far. XD<br /><br />5: "i regret meeting you with everyt cell in my body. I am so so happy you are out of my life. go stalk someone else you total creep." enuf said<br /><br />6: Some of it is good, some of it is awful and makes no sense to me. I'm obviously getting old.<br /><br />7: people spelling your and you're wrong (same goes for there, they're and their.), people not taking care of their DVDs properly and then i borrow them and they dont work because they are scratched, My boyfriend not having good pillows, people using or borrowing my stuff without asking or returning them in a worse condition than when i lent it to them. people asking me to do things i was gonna do anyways. <br /><br />is that 5?<br /><br />8: oh my. for breakfast i had toast with peanut butter and apricot jam on and a yoghurt. For lunch because i was feeling so rubbish i treated myself to a croissant and a doughnut and i have just eaten an entire pot of yummy korean snacks. not the healthiest of days. i usuall eat better than this. :/<br /><br />9: Very (see pet peeve number 1). However i don't think something as high as a uni/college education is particularly essential. unless you are becoming a Dr... or something like that. I'd like my doctors to be uni and med schooled please. lol<br /><br />10:<br />1- Army of Me (Sucker Punch remix) - Sucker Punch soundtrack<br />2- Early Bird - Buono!<br />3- Circle the Drain - Katy Perry<br />4 - It's Getting Boring by the Sea - Blood Red Shoes<br />5- Healing Incantation - Mandy Moore, Tangled Soundtrack<br />6- SEXY BOY - Morning Musume<br />7- Anyone Else But You - Michael Cera and Ellen Page version, Juno Soundtrack<br />8- Bird - YaoYao<br />9- Somewhere Only We Know - Glee Cast (about time a glee song came up)<br />10- Deadman's Gun - Ashtar Command, Red Dead Redemption Soundtrack<br /><br />11: What about my family? I have a mum and dad, still together, and a little brother..... well he's taller than me so not exactly little anymore.... and he turns 20 this year so..... waaah i'm so old.<br /><br />12: YAY! <br />1- Darren Chriss<br />2- Daniel Radcliffe<br />3- My boyfriend (obvs)<br />4- Jim Parsons<br />5- Peeta Mellark (not Josh Hutchison. The book character. he's so lovely. and even though he ends up a but.... mentally challenged at the end i'm happy Katniss ends up with him. He loves/loved her so much. :3)<br />BONUS 6 - Kyo Sohms (while we are on the streak of fictional characters, let's chuck Kyon in there too. :3)<br /><br />13: My body isn't horrible. i mean it's not a size 10 like i'd like it to be but i'm not always disgusted by it. My tummy is a bit big for my liking, i want it flatter and my thighs could do with a could cms off but other than that i'm not that uncomfortables with my body. i mean i dont show my midriff ever but thats tacky anyways.<br /><br />14: I am currently wearing mint green tights, yellow shorts with pastel pink and purple drips around the bottom (which i painted on myself. :3) a H&M top with cupcakes on that says "Cutest of cupcakes" (i heart cupcakes) and a navy blue cardigan.<br /><br />15: Taurus - it's actually pretty close. I'm stubborn etc. i try to ignore the "does not play well with others and is self centred" part though.

Or i'd like to open a Cupcakery. My more immediate future i'd like to teach English in Japan for a year.<br /><br />22: what academics? I'm doing a costume course. there are no academics. <br /><br />23: My Guinea Pig. she was the love of my life and had to get put down. i loved her so so so much. <br /><br />24: "Bazinga" <br />voldemort going "AVADA KEDAVRA" in DHpt2. how he says it is so funny. <br />Hermione telling ron he has the emotional range of a teaspoon. <br />Also ron saying "I'd love to know what the ministry'd do to me if i blew up an aunt. mind you they'd have to dig me up first because mum would've killed me" in Prisoner of Azkaban.<br />this stupid little "herr-herr" laugh me and my housemates do sometimes. lol<br /><br />25: Whether i'll get this costume done on time. PANIC PANIC PANIC<br /><br />26: there's nothing in particular that i like about myself but then, there isnt much that i particularly dislike either. :/<br /><br />27: "Have faith in how far you will go and be proud of where you have been" or something to that effect. i cant remember exactly lol. also "the people who matter don't care and the people who care don't matter"<br /><br />28: Is this a trick question? I think Japan is obvious..... I'd love to visit Venic again.... Also America. I lived there as a child but i'd like to see the things we saw with adult eyes. Also somewhere suuuuper pretty like the caribbean or something.<br /><br />29: Custard, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu (she's weird. XD), Tuna straight out of the can (i'm told thats weird), tidying my room (it gets super messy super fast so i guess this is good, my special diet (it's a special diet not to loe weight but to aid my digestion etc and i actually quite like being on it. i dont really miss the things i cant eat anymore. :))<br /><br />30: HUNGER GAMES!!!!!

I have been addicted to Tumblr so you can find me over there almost everyday. username: KawaiiProject.<br /><br />OK so this is a post about the ECC Japan Interview I had the other weekend. I didnt get the job but i believe that was purely down to my mental blank half way through my teach demo. ANYWAY! There isnt too much information out there about the ECC interviews so this is for anyone thinking of applying or preparing for the interview. <br /><br />So the day started off super early for me as i had to get the train to london. The session, although it said would start at half 9, actually didnt start until 10. So i got there an hour early. This gave me time to find the room and meet my co-interviewees. everyone was very nice but very posh and i felt like a bit of an idiot student next to all these people-in-the-real-world. XD<br /><br />Anyways, we took our seats in the classroom and the first part of the interview began. They introduced us to themselves and the company, showed us the text books and told us about things like the types of students we would have, the kind of timetables we could expect to be on and things like pay, dress code and things like that. It took 2 hours but it was really interesting. We also had the opportunity to ask questions at this point.<br /><br />Next. Was the ENGLISH TEST! The ENGLISH TEST was just that. It was the hardest thing i have ever had to do. ever. hands down. it was hard. if you are applying to ECC, don't be put off by it, but just be prepared that it was really hard. We all said so afterwards.<br /><br />The ENGLISH TEST consists of 100 multiple choice questions, the answers to which you write down on a seperate sheet. You need to achieve 70% minimum to pass onto the next phase of the interview. So you can get 30 questions wrong. which doesnt sound like much but it is a decent amount. Also, at the top of your test paper you will have written a letter. This is how they announce if you are through.<br /><br />The majority of the test is made up of questions asking you to identify words in sentences that are incorrect and need replacing etc. some of those are more simple than others. The things i would reccommend studying for that part is general sentence structure, grammar and things like "words that make this sentence redundant" (yeah i dont think i got that question right). <br /><br />The next part is about spelling. These are multiple choice again and all you have to do is pick the correctly spelled word out of the 2 choices. for example: concious and contious. just do your research about spelling dificult words. As i have read somewhere else "if you have to think about how to spell it, it will probably be on the test" thankfully there are only maybe 20 questions on these.<br /><br />Next is definitions. Basically a load of words I have never and will never use. The questions just ask you to identify to correct definition out of a, b, or c. I think, common sense is needed for that part. words like "revile" popped up and it was using common sense to rule out the answers that were definitely not right. <br /><br />Then comes the passage..... oh the passage.... Basically a short paragraph of writing in which you need to identify the different types of words. such as - adverbs, simple past tense etc etc. look these up cause that was what really threw me.<br /><br />The last part doesnt really have anything to do with english but basically you have to match up the word with the definition again however this time it is about teaching and it's a bit different. that part is pretty simple though and i found it quite fun. <br /><br />Then you are done! and it's time for lunch! I was sooo nervous! <br />When you get back after lunch, they will have written all the letters of the people who didnt get through on the board. This is so you can gather your things and leave with dignity. You can talk to the interviewers after to see where you went wrong. If you letter isn't on the board, prepare for the teaching demo!! <br /><br />Now this isn't really something I can tell you how to do as it's different for everyone. You get split up into groups and each group is given a group of cards with a lesson objective on and flash cards. You then have some time to prepare the "lesson" and then you present this to the other groups pretending they are the children. The interviewers sit to one side and observe. Be enthusiastic and make sure you get the point of the lesson and the correct vocabulary across. Don't be afraid to over act everything, chances are you might not see these people again and it may just get you the job. Don't be embarassed!!<br /><br />After that you are sent away and called in one at a time for the individual interviews. These are pretty easy and it's more like clarifying things from your application form. the others in my session said they didnt get asked things like "why japan?" "why ECC?" but i did. Just "why ECC?" which i just answered honestly.<br /><br />Over all it was a pretty interesting day and although I didnt get in, i have a feeling that i know what i messed up on and if i have the opportunity to go for another ECC day i know what to change.<br /><br />I hope this post will help any others who are applying for ECC! Best of luck!!Hexihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02122037543709043221noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787455612687546811.post-75453795818354196742012-01-25T15:20:00.000-08:002012-01-25T15:33:34.316-08:00Learning Japanese: Genki ReviewToday's post will be a review of Genki. The Japanese language textbooks and workbooks.<br /><br />As my plans for moving to Japan are now for definite i have been teaching myself japanese using these books. I do a chapter or so of the textbook then do a few pages of workbook a day. it seems to be helping as already my Hiragana knowledge has shot way up.<br /><br />The way the book teaches you is very good as it gives you a text or paragraph in hiragana with romaji underneath and then gives the translation of it in english below. This way i can look at the text, read the romaji and figure out what it says then study the hiragana. The other day i could understand a whole conversation (romaji only)!! It then gives you nice list of the vocabulary at the end of the lesson in Hiragana, romaji and english translation along with notes on the grammar and fun little facts on the language. Then it goes on to re-enforce the lesson, teaching you how the sentence structure works, how to use words (like doko, soko, asoko, dore, sore, are etc) and where they belong in the sentences and how to successfully use conjunctions etc.<br /><br />One niggle i did have with the book however is how little the "alphabets" (yes i know they arent really alphabets) are introduced and how they work at the beginning of the book. especially as after lesson 2 it kinda launches straight into only hiragana. You will need your hiragana chart handy for the workbook too.<br /><br />Overall however it has so far been a challenge (and i'm not even onto lesson 3 yet!!)but nevertheless one that has stuck and i seem to find myself knowing more when i study than i did the day before. which is... you know nice. But i have always had an affinity at learninf and "getting" new languages. <br /><br />One thing that has been reccommended to me is the audio CDs that go with the books that supposedly help with pronunciation etc. My pronunciation has always been commented on at how good it is by my japanese friends however so i think i will save these for when i know more japanese itself and need to start listening to the faster flow of it better. but whatelse is anime for right? XD<br /><br />I've reccommend these books. they have been pretty good so far!! :)Hexihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02122037543709043221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787455612687546811.post-22493128782215093762012-01-11T11:59:00.000-08:002012-01-11T12:05:46.665-08:00Harry Potter 30 Day Challenge Day 6 - 7Day 6 - Favourite Professor<br /><br />Professor Moody.

In the movies its definitley Voldemort or Lucius Malfoy but in the books i think....... Maybe Bellatrix or that Umbridge woman.

The book is basically just a whole load of filler to last up until Voldemort comes back. It's like Sailor Moon Super S where its just a terrible filler series so Sailor Moon can get to her Eternal Moon transformation. Bleh.

Is it stupid of me to say Deathly Hallows? I really love it because it ties up all the loose ends and i was sitting there reading it going "oh so THAT'S why that happens" etc. Also i feel like it's the only book where they have a purpose all the way through. the other books it's like "la di da, school school. Oh! we have something we need to do right at the end? ok! let's go!" Other than that i love Order of the Phoenix too. :)Hexihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02122037543709043221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787455612687546811.post-55121820224685968372012-01-04T09:57:00.001-08:002012-01-04T10:34:30.843-08:00How to Make an Inspiration BoardAs part of my room revamp project i decided to take all the stuff off my bulletin board as it was cluttered and looking a bit ugly. So I decided to turn it into a fairy kei inspiration board and decided to make a How To on how i did it.<br /><br />You Will Need:<br /><br />Bulletin Board<br />Fabric to match the theme you are going for<br />Hot glue gun <br />inspiring photos/images etc<br />pins or sticky tac/ something to stick your images on with<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFgQZVJNmFJ-3jmcNK1e1W4gsT4dxB_SSOXxivhAxzEHqDq_LqmGGKNm3p34A8sl7Wu72y53ekrDUR0Go1rq393my03Y-q0mJYpeTafIuZ2EM8K-fSKPuc9J77eUVUMLWME-jPKYoYMsg/s1600/IMG_0485%255B1%255D"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFgQZVJNmFJ-3jmcNK1e1W4gsT4dxB_SSOXxivhAxzEHqDq_LqmGGKNm3p34A8sl7Wu72y53ekrDUR0Go1rq393my03Y-q0mJYpeTafIuZ2EM8K-fSKPuc9J77eUVUMLWME-jPKYoYMsg/s320/IMG_0485%255B1%255D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693841816371273810" /></a><br /><br /><br />Cut the fabric so it's bigger than than the bulletin and the edges are able to fold over to the back.<br /><br />place the fabric on the front of the board and smooth it out from the centre. then use pins to hold the fabric still.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirvLP4r49Y8cvQdIYzWk3l7Y7k7JN4bcq9YhFlbBIPDM0m_9lToZpvPFU63vsuwxw0TpWAv0991kshLFTa2leOOU_Ppzk9GHh2wCfOGVbImD1qXg5EUJTJrIXF-_fvIIuoNpgq544uhHY/s1600/IMG_0486%255B1%255D"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirvLP4r49Y8cvQdIYzWk3l7Y7k7JN4bcq9YhFlbBIPDM0m_9lToZpvPFU63vsuwxw0TpWAv0991kshLFTa2leOOU_Ppzk9GHh2wCfOGVbImD1qXg5EUJTJrIXF-_fvIIuoNpgq544uhHY/s320/IMG_0486%255B1%255D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693844721216735922" /></a><br /><br /><br />Next flip the board over and hot glue down 2 parallel sides. Then fold the corners in neatly and glue down the other 2 sides.<br /><br />You should now have a nice smooth fabric covered board.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUUyRgvr7PGwBz-Rh0SLmA8bKcYNIiktf_n7WxUUlpM-CivF1B-KWRQd6ZEFv994zhkVe-7BrF5Q69zF03P5zgBkuUXc4TXgrxXR2eIZhIEKSSIKtTh6ogtgRWgNoSsCx0u7yHpq0ChkQ/s1600/IMG_0490%255B1%255D"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUUyRgvr7PGwBz-Rh0SLmA8bKcYNIiktf_n7WxUUlpM-CivF1B-KWRQd6ZEFv994zhkVe-7BrF5Q69zF03P5zgBkuUXc4TXgrxXR2eIZhIEKSSIKtTh6ogtgRWgNoSsCx0u7yHpq0ChkQ/s320/IMG_0490%255B1%255D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693845284178969330" /></a><br /><br /><br />Now all you have to do is attack it with your images and things. I decorated mine with outfit inspiration, room inspirationg and other colourful inspiring images. I also used some of the cute and colourful things i had on my old board like different images of cupcakes and cute labels etc. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV-3JEzgb5BgnxNEYmmAk8IlBF-9wxIGvyP05bZfBndN7Ikpk-fF17x4WIOidUyWzAwCCTGlbWmC9coZJR0ihJgA8owFAJpV_6tVuQtMQpRWiaDuGCNeUAVgv13nvXgOoOrAWBuwCeI-Y/s1600/IMG_0492%255B1%255D"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV-3JEzgb5BgnxNEYmmAk8IlBF-9wxIGvyP05bZfBndN7Ikpk-fF17x4WIOidUyWzAwCCTGlbWmC9coZJR0ihJgA8owFAJpV_6tVuQtMQpRWiaDuGCNeUAVgv13nvXgOoOrAWBuwCeI-Y/s320/IMG_0492%255B1%255D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693846233619627314" /></a><br /><br />Looks much better than my old one! :)Hexihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02122037543709043221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787455612687546811.post-86378575755923427832012-01-02T15:23:00.000-08:002012-01-03T05:00:06.183-08:00Bedroom InspirationWhy did i join tumblr? why? it is slowing sucking my soul and replacing it with pictures of Kyary, My Little Ponies and loads of other stuff that is totally blowing my mind. I also think my boyfriend is a bit concerned with the sudden and immediate obsession with teh interwebz..... <br /><br />but moving on.<br /><br />I found most of these pictures floating around Tumblr and as i'm trying to fairy up my room i thought i'd point out exactly what about them i like and what i want to do. :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3kNpTbJJY-B3aNxm7Ao3r2qpNPSB5_XW_6KB_sOVSVjpYxDfYA8F6-uNJReObMKsAlaxc_DJYuH60q1KitkuNc5Ltr_CTtq6zFXvolApqjix0aKLICjKoEiucGRuPCmEfcgOsBuHG_-M/s1600/room2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3kNpTbJJY-B3aNxm7Ao3r2qpNPSB5_XW_6KB_sOVSVjpYxDfYA8F6-uNJReObMKsAlaxc_DJYuH60q1KitkuNc5Ltr_CTtq6zFXvolApqjix0aKLICjKoEiucGRuPCmEfcgOsBuHG_-M/s320/room2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693180260527671186" /></a><br />GDU Tavuchi for having the most epic of epi bedrooms! I want a low table like that to do my work on. and the heart shaped one is so cute. There is something about japanese bedrooms that are completely amazing. There is so little space that everything has it's own place and there is something really lovely about how they hang fabric and clothes on the walls as a mixture of decoration and storage!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihbSHnXI1eFLp8ft1BJHWkXMzWB1imGNTPxL4onrL2LTfcW8nnBSkioEFsrGjvmroDRvdjgK7UugyGEvm2PPdi7Mzqqz4M5R9nfmI_XUg0VAPxOLp6IbzmcRp7PQGCxOWv1cjXy3BNHLs/s1600/room7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihbSHnXI1eFLp8ft1BJHWkXMzWB1imGNTPxL4onrL2LTfcW8nnBSkioEFsrGjvmroDRvdjgK7UugyGEvm2PPdi7Mzqqz4M5R9nfmI_XUg0VAPxOLp6IbzmcRp7PQGCxOWv1cjXy3BNHLs/s320/room7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693389642900790082" /></a><br /><br />I also want to cover the floor in cute fabric. The carpet in my flat is brown and it's horrible. i think laying out some pieces of fabric (and trapping them underneath stuff of course) would really brighten up my room and Spank!-ify it nicely. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG4d9iiVlp-6SJo-FUrn24AIbuVMtEpv5z-du0amXsGH5ppokxSGiWJdduoevJthlq6Xenmegl5_NnxM4233YYQXI6FOuSEnLyjCbgE2t1gBWEa53097qe1WCoXGJ1r1iuvuZsLkUwhTc/s1600/room4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG4d9iiVlp-6SJo-FUrn24AIbuVMtEpv5z-du0amXsGH5ppokxSGiWJdduoevJthlq6Xenmegl5_NnxM4233YYQXI6FOuSEnLyjCbgE2t1gBWEa53097qe1WCoXGJ1r1iuvuZsLkUwhTc/s320/room4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693181619997430274" /></a><br />cute bedding!

Please feel free to steal it but reference back to here s'il vous plait.<br /><br /><strong>Favourite Movie Release</strong>~Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 - oh Harry Potter. How i bawled like a child!!<br /><br /><strong>Favourite Song Release</strong>~PONPONPON by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - really makes me think of summer and being happy. :)<br /><br /><strong>Favourite Game Release</strong>~ Alice Madness Returns - Althrough Skyrim comes a close second, i really loved Alice. totally twisted and gross and the story was really good too.<br /><br /><strong>Best Discovery</strong>~Fairy Kei - Although i knew about it before i only really started to appreciate it in all it's pastelly goodness. Also Spank!<br /><br /><strong>Something You Gave Up</strong>~Hello! Project - I dont really listen to the music anymore and I'm selling all my merchendise. It's part growing up and partly because a lot of it brings back some difficult memories.<br /><br /><strong>Best Purchase</strong><br />~My Rats - man i love those little guys.<br /><br /><strong>Biggest Waste of Money</strong><br />~The studio photos - Me and my friend went to this photoshoot thing and it was a free day with the oppotunity to have 2 free photos. The woman stupidly talked us into buying some and i seriously wish i hadn't. I cant afford to pay for them still..... not happy.<br /><br /><strong>Something You Said You Would Do and Did</strong><br />~ Thanks to Day Zero I've done a lot of thing i said i would. :) I have a lot more to do still though! <br /><br /><strong>Something You Said You Would Do and Didn't</strong><br />~Lose Weight - In fact i gained it. ;^;<br /><br />Hope everyone has a great new year whatever you are doing. :) See you all in 2012!!Hexihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02122037543709043221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787455612687546811.post-89446183496580199382011-12-31T10:02:00.001-08:002011-12-31T10:22:26.179-08:00The Quest for Perfect ButterbeerIt is probably a good idea for me to keep track of this.<br /><br />Being a Harry Potter fan to the point of it being unhealthy, I am on the quest for the perfect Butterbeer recipe.<br /><br />The last one I made was a greasy buttery disastor that was too sweet and i could feel it clogging up my arteries as i drank it. The one before that was close in taste but not enough think drinkable froth. Also it was cold and i want something to drink warm.<br /><br />The one i just tried which is based on a much more historic recipe was was bitter when you first drank then got the sweet aftertaste and made me shudder and is went down. needless to say it was.... unpleasent.<br /><br />I'm going to document my efforts here i think. I want a recipe that i can drink warm and possibly has a slight alcoholic tint to it although that isn't neccessary. <br />It also looks like how it looks in the film. Rawr.<br /><br />Yes i know many people have recipes up online but so far i have yet to find one that i can make nicely OR find one that i can actually get all the ingredients for. (brown cream soda doesn't exist in england) Or i could always make my own recipe when i have the time/money. <br /><br />P.S I dont wanna know about The Wizarding orld of Harry Potter and how people have drunk the butterbeer there at the Three Broomsticks. I'm so bitter that i could explode. XD Plus a girl i was friends with (and who, i recently found out, has decided that she hates me for no apparant reason) went there over christmas so it's a bit of a sore spot. I thank you in advance for not rubbing salt in that particular wound. :)Hexihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02122037543709043221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787455612687546811.post-43180709774392023362011-12-30T12:44:00.000-08:002011-12-30T12:55:01.863-08:00Plastic Chain JewellryToday i was playing around with the beads and plastic star links i bought the other day and created some cool 80s looking chunky kiddy jewellry.<br /><br />This is the necklace<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6BN65oRATrnxR-nnmu1nvRuNsjsMNGiyzWiO4wQlnLsicrCUSH1NFjf3kjXszcg7B89F6aDHQqAIfPNg3CL_gRHL7LU_v0dKxRZXmvEgZGuX9NnUI6oNVA0KxBBjg0iNnh1NVBu9hZTY/s1600/IMG_0448%255B1%255D"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6BN65oRATrnxR-nnmu1nvRuNsjsMNGiyzWiO4wQlnLsicrCUSH1NFjf3kjXszcg7B89F6aDHQqAIfPNg3CL_gRHL7LU_v0dKxRZXmvEgZGuX9NnUI6oNVA0KxBBjg0iNnh1NVBu9hZTY/s320/IMG_0448%255B1%255D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692025956612175538" /></a><br /><br />I originally wanted all of it to be the links but they were too chunky and there werent enough. this way i used less and it's more comfortable to wear.<br /><br />The bracelet looks like this<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilOYRjdBBCkGOofeTtyEfrYueqNBsTblDdIK_xiKCS53YKW8iTqID9feSgnAV4ioEOxr9kHa6sOX4JznAOLTx97LPmAQhOBxSnqWM-krbKwhLexvUsG84vdo5mvj9_CtKFTQea8RgonXU/s1600/IMG_0451%255B1%255D"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilOYRjdBBCkGOofeTtyEfrYueqNBsTblDdIK_xiKCS53YKW8iTqID9feSgnAV4ioEOxr9kHa6sOX4JznAOLTx97LPmAQhOBxSnqWM-krbKwhLexvUsG84vdo5mvj9_CtKFTQea8RgonXU/s320/IMG_0451%255B1%255D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692026782740236562" /></a><br /><br /><br />The one with the white beads is out of the Little Twin Star box I got the other day. :)<br /><br />(Cable knit sweater is my mum's. i stole/borrowed it from her. i love the trend at the moment to wear cable knit sweaters with fairy kei. super warm too!)Hexihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02122037543709043221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787455612687546811.post-77862077386476808242011-12-28T15:26:00.000-08:002011-12-28T15:52:01.300-08:0030 Day Fairy Kei Challenge Day 17 and upOpps, like i said before, not keeping up with blog series i started. <br />Seeing as it's been about 20 odd days since my last post and there are only 14 questions left, I'll try to answer them all in this post. If you'll pardon the massiveness of the post!<br /><br />☆ Day sixteen: How did you dress before Fairy-Kei?<br /><br />Like this:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeXXv0y6scURz_FPrHkboHZ6s8OsZGLOcTfc6tGAGN3NgE0spG78oBD5e9FLYmibYc4sIvST8J2GF5LnAZhZYPha7gGj07WTdmkDSm-CPD_l7lRQWMpc5QpiawW77ABaJbF0Rlt1IAjgw/s1600/SDC10452.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeXXv0y6scURz_FPrHkboHZ6s8OsZGLOcTfc6tGAGN3NgE0spG78oBD5e9FLYmibYc4sIvST8J2GF5LnAZhZYPha7gGj07WTdmkDSm-CPD_l7lRQWMpc5QpiawW77ABaJbF0Rlt1IAjgw/s320/SDC10452.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691325708277913122" /></a><br /><br />hahaha no just kidding, i was wearing my friends costume there.<br /><br />I dressed how i dress now, Fairy Kei is only a secondary fashion, especially as i really cant be bothered when i'm just going to uni for an hour or whatever. Tights or leggings under a skirt or shorts, top and some kind of cardigan or jumper. I'm trying to do fairy kei more though. or at the very least fairy kei inspired! My own style has almost always been influenced by fashion in Japan though.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />☆ Day seventeen: Do you dress in also another style, e.g. Lolita.<br /><br />Not Lolita, i dont think i'd suit it but i'm interested in it. Other than my own style, no. :( sorry for the boring answer.<br /><br /><br /><br />☆ Day eighteen: How do you dress when you go to school?<br /><br />Uni. ahem.<br />Depends, if i'm in for a long day i usually put in more effort. But it usually consists of tights or over-the-knee socks, skirt, tshirt and cardigan. it sounds very boring but i have a wide range of everything. XD currently, my fairy kei consists of wearing basically the same but switching them for pastels.<br /><br /><br />☆ Day nineteen: 5 of your favourite toys.<br /><br />The My Little Pony plush my brother won me in a UFO catcher, my Hello Kitty and Cupcake cushions, my Gloomy Bear teddy and my Ramond and Scott "Scott Pilgrim" plushies. :)<br /><br /><br /><br />☆ Day twenty: What do you see in Fairy-Kei in general in the next 5 years?<br /><br />Hmm..... I see it either peetering out to something as obscure as Takuya Angel now (my japanese friend didnt even know what that was) OR getting bigger and bigger as SPANK! expands and possibly influencing western fashion (the Usamimi trend reached here and 80s cartoon printed stuff is coming into fashion again!)<br /><br /><br /><br />☆ Day twenty-one: 5 of your favourite cartoons.<br /><br />Before i even knew about Fairy Kei back when i was 16 I was watching My Little Pony etc. My Little Pony, Pokemon, most Disney Films, Care Bears, uhm.... cant think of anything else. XD<br /><br /><br /><br />☆ Day twenty-two: The most expensive thing you’ve ever bought.<br /><br />My Tiffany's ring. although that wasn't even my money. haha. uhm.... probably my Pikachu Kigurumi. Other than that it's things like my Laptop and Ipod that are most expensive.<br /><br /><br /><br />☆ Day twenty-three: 10 of your favourite foods.<br />Easey peasy:<br />Custard<br />Chips/Fries<br />Cupcakes<br />Croissants<br />Pineapple<br />Strawberries<br />Cherries<br />Yorkshire Puddings<br />Jaffa Cakes<br />Pop Rocks<br /><br /><br /><br />☆ Day twenty-four: Your favourite motif.<br /><br />Motif? That's a picture isn't it. like a panda or something? Cupcakes. Anything cupcakes. I have a tattoo of a cupcake don't i??<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />☆ Day twenty-five: How do people in school/work react to how you’re dressed?<br /><br />My Coursemates are probably more accepting of my stuff than my housemates. When i wear my teddy trainers i get "oh god" but at uni i get "omg! those are amazing!" <br /><br /><br /><br />☆ Day twenty-six: If you could put any phrase on a conversation-heart sweet, what would it be?<br />"Life is One Time"<br /><br />It's from the Morning Musume song "Mikan". I really like the line and it's totally true. you only live once!<br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6r3txMbN9lo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br />☆ Day twenty-seven: Your dream job?<br />Costume Interpretor: working alongside Colleen Atwood<br /><br />Or i really REALLy like the idea of opening a cupcakery!<br /><br /><br /><br />☆ Day twenty-eight: 5 of your favourite places.<br /><br />Grand Canyon - a bit "out-there" but i loved being there and would love to go again<br /><br />London - I love China town and covent garden!<br /><br />Bournemouth - It's such a great place to live and i think i'm going to stay there!<br /><br />Japan - Duh! Not been there yet but i know i will love it! XD<br /><br />My Room - my little place of (messy) heaven. i like to decorate it myself and make it mine and i chill out there more than anywhere else. even if it is a tip. XD<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />☆ Day twenty-nine: Your favourite colour-combo.<br /><br />Pale Pink and Blue or Lilac and Pale Yellow<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />☆ Day thirty!: Do you see yourself wearing Fairy Kei in 5 years time?<br /><br />Not sure. My fashion has been influenced by Japanese fashion for a long time (the past few days i've been sporting a cale knit sweater like are popular in japan right now) so maybe, maybe not. I hope so because it's so fun!Hexihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02122037543709043221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787455612687546811.post-41010778570110074042011-12-28T14:15:00.000-08:002011-12-28T14:47:50.657-08:00Christmas, Sales, Hauls and ResolutionsHey everyone!<br /><br />did you all have a good christmas if you celebrate it?<br /><br />I got everything i wanted so i'm very happy. Among my favourite presents are my pink and while polka dot Zatchels satchel, the Muppet OPI nail polishes "I Lily Love You" and "The Fresh Frog of Bel Air" and my Secret Shop Starry Engineer replica boots (which have yet to arrive but are still already a fave!) <br /><br />Yesterday i went to London to look for fabric for my final uni project and ended up spending a LOT of money in Bravissimo. We also went to go and see Howl's Moving Castle at the Southwark Playhouse. It was meant to be a surprise but i actually guessed before i came to stay at my parents and then had it confirmed when my dad left the reciept for the tickets lying around. XD<br />The show was pretty good although despite Stephen Fry narrating and Fyfe Dangefield composing it wasn't amazing. They kind of rushed the story so only those who had read the book really knew what was going on, the actor who was Howl was really good, but the other 2 cast members (who did old sohpie, young sophie and the witch of the waste) weren't very good at all. they were wooden and generic. However, the set was astonishing! It was all completely white but had the castle cut out in relief as if it was cut from card and was pushed forward. The locations were then projected onto the white background. It was really clever and really effective. I would reccommend this show just for the set.<br /><br />Today i went out with my brother shopping as i had £40 worth of riverisland vouchers to spend and needed to return a sweater that didnt fit right. I then proceeded to spend a good amount of money on other things.... :/<br /><br />My Riverisland haul was good. only spend £20 of my vouchers. I got this pineapple top<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzfidWoj9MCRkenj37soeBzGvcymjoTySpXGHk50pKAr7F4Kq0nRW7aSq1E8bP4KYIJMkZ6gp5jB-jk6IqHUdBzaWrMKZzixwNy_pwkcEWO7lexFDDufrQf1s4QrxsUhKkuIXOblvl_UA/s1600/IMG_0435%255B1%255D"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzfidWoj9MCRkenj37soeBzGvcymjoTySpXGHk50pKAr7F4Kq0nRW7aSq1E8bP4KYIJMkZ6gp5jB-jk6IqHUdBzaWrMKZzixwNy_pwkcEWO7lexFDDufrQf1s4QrxsUhKkuIXOblvl_UA/s320/IMG_0435%255B1%255D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691309274944611042" /></a><br /><br />This cute high waisted skirt<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVD2lRsH7hI7geEYEhEza70OtfoXG-Tgx5IoH5dzxwIZPRAxkTS3Ur-cJkBHHT4OKGuyxy5c_2ZR9ewEqVVkc_OguG5yeKtUA3_rTA9TnXvCkJ1EgO07jZ5UL2mDM3QTVGaYj0gSnGhvI/s1600/IMG_0437%255B1%255D"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVD2lRsH7hI7geEYEhEza70OtfoXG-Tgx5IoH5dzxwIZPRAxkTS3Ur-cJkBHHT4OKGuyxy5c_2ZR9ewEqVVkc_OguG5yeKtUA3_rTA9TnXvCkJ1EgO07jZ5UL2mDM3QTVGaYj0gSnGhvI/s320/IMG_0437%255B1%255D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691309732712493714" /></a><br /><br />and these adorable shorts!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs6HppV6IJDMt0lwapgMOckEYBYXt0jnZRQE4xRPHl-yXJCKAm6eIKWJXABV3JezHEkw7Z28CxjNAM0hOHArF0itdJ8FsICer73Q3yYhjnvRhBRsQBfMnAS8fnuqM48MCnT8M_T0OJhDc/s1600/IMG_0436%255B1%255D"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs6HppV6IJDMt0lwapgMOckEYBYXt0jnZRQE4xRPHl-yXJCKAm6eIKWJXABV3JezHEkw7Z28CxjNAM0hOHArF0itdJ8FsICer73Q3yYhjnvRhBRsQBfMnAS8fnuqM48MCnT8M_T0OJhDc/s320/IMG_0436%255B1%255D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691310095865628722" /></a><br /><br />It was weird because i was just about to give up my search when i found all 3 things tucked away at the very end of the row. the shorts were just hanging there without a reduced label.

The website is very good and the prices are very reasonable.

It's my winter bag. <br /><br />Left to right: I almost always carry my uni work folder with me. Mainly because i stayed at my boyfriend's last night and am meant to be doing uni work instead of typing this. oops.<br /><br />Then there's my diary which basically has my life in it. I'd be late and forget everything if i didn't have that. <br /><br />Body spray, always important.<br /><br />Purse - also from accessorize. "I heart Tokyo" incidentally my rat is called Tokyo so this is kinda two statemnts. XD<br /><br />House keys - the cupcake keyring is from my boyfriend. :)<br /><br />hair clip - i always end up needing one totally randomly<br /><br />nail varnish - incase of chips<br /><br />lip balm - aloe vera. I get very dry lips alot so i always have a tin of this handy. this one is my favourite but i also have a pink tinted one for nights out.<br /><br />Last but definitely not least, my inhaler. I cant go anywhere without this thing thanks to my worse-than-terrible asthma. bleh.Hexihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02122037543709043221noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787455612687546811.post-27417927825304474102011-12-03T13:08:00.000-08:002011-12-03T13:25:29.080-08:00Clothing! :3All the stuff i bought on the internet arrived! yay!<br /><br />I immediately put on my jumper and socks from asos.com and i loooove them!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYYH-r0l-qYuV0az3kkL7Nk2OTMiN185obhr77137BVeH_URwVYXxBkBADkiPRNSUJmtad_Cg_6iBa3Fm-wFeHGhwpCfYNWwz9wQGQEf_qdDt-7wxKhjL-ln2CHCtDINinsbEqUeAA8FU/s1600/IMG_0325%255B1%255D"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYYH-r0l-qYuV0az3kkL7Nk2OTMiN185obhr77137BVeH_URwVYXxBkBADkiPRNSUJmtad_Cg_6iBa3Fm-wFeHGhwpCfYNWwz9wQGQEf_qdDt-7wxKhjL-ln2CHCtDINinsbEqUeAA8FU/s320/IMG_0325%255B1%255D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682012805051825698" /></a><br /><br />The jumper is quite short but i think it's meant to be worn with high-waisted items.

If it's printed fabric it will be the side that is faded or backwards.<br /><br />Mark your squares 2.5" x 2.5". Always make sure you mark from the straightest edge or you will end up with wonky squares.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG6njpIwPQFfi0hd1oJQNL0-_xIW98sZhRAO-OGBajjL080qdZOQJ_yRxxc6iZK44PrODGXsdiclbXJeIFu2go-1zJeYsVnbaWwW7CLowOKPoPwiqgnzsBsf8oLARVPeyIARBpd67oBn8/s1600/IMG_0310%255B1%255D"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG6njpIwPQFfi0hd1oJQNL0-_xIW98sZhRAO-OGBajjL080qdZOQJ_yRxxc6iZK44PrODGXsdiclbXJeIFu2go-1zJeYsVnbaWwW7CLowOKPoPwiqgnzsBsf8oLARVPeyIARBpd67oBn8/s320/IMG_0310%255B1%255D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682007145078782658" /></a><br /><br /><br />I recommend about 20 squares of every fabric for each side. Make sure they over hang the edges of the pattern a little bit as we need the seam allowance. <br /><br />Cut them all out. If you have some fluffy or thick fabrics like i am using i'd stick to less squares of them in randomw places to break it up or it could look a bit weird. <br /><br />Next step is laying out the squares on the pattern in a way you like. I haven't done this yet as i haven't had a chance to with my uni work being intense. (i have hand-in next week. eek!) But you can lay them out anyway you like as long as they line up in rows vertically. like pixels. <br /><br /><br />The next few posts on this will have to wait until after the 7th i'm afraid because i have to work on my hand-in. sorryyyy!!!!! but these 2 steps could take a while anyways! haha!<br /><br />love love!Hexihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02122037543709043221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787455612687546811.post-50482451641087593152011-12-03T12:32:00.000-08:002011-12-03T12:40:43.295-08:0030 Day Fairy Kei Challenge Days 10 and 11Sorry for not posting yesterdaaaaay. was busy and today i was working. advent calendar post coming up next. oh and a clothing post. woot.<br /><br />☆ Day eleven: How do you react to the negative ones?<br /><br />Like i said i live in a student town but if i do get anything negative i ignore it. I've been comfortabel in my own skin for a while now and have been dressing "differently" for yeeeeaaarrrrs so i just ignore it.<br /><br /><br />☆ Day twelve: The craziest coord you’ve ever worn.<br /><br />Hmmm..... tricky question as i am still currently building my wardrobe and find it hard to dress in full Fairy Kei. especially as my housemates would probs disown me.<br />But saying that i have worn my pink stripey dress with my My Little Pony tshirt, white tights, white loose socks and my pink teddy trainers. :)<br /><br />I also wore a pretty mad co-ord to a photoshoot. I have a dress with cupcakes on, wore that over a tiered lace/frilly skirt, one pair of pink socks, one pair of purple socks, pink and white stripey bunny hoody and my headphones. the photos actually came out pretty awesome. :DHexihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02122037543709043221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787455612687546811.post-38201229623093938952011-12-01T07:47:00.000-08:002011-12-01T08:04:47.385-08:00Advent Calendar 2011 - Dec 1stI decided to do this blog series as a little Advent Calendar to myself and you guys!<br /><br />I don't think there are 25 steps but never mind.<br /><br />The end result should look something like these skirts from Spank! but with a thinner waistband (if you prefer) and no petticoat underneat.

Use a mixture of patterned fabric and plain fabric.<br /><br />- Scissors, Fabric and paper<br /><br />- Sewing machine, preferably, i mean you probably can do this by hand but i wouldn't reccommend it.<br /><br />- Newspaper or Pattern paper<br /><br />- Tape measure, tailors chalk or pencil, marker pen, tape<br /><br /><br />I will post a step a day for this.<br /><br /><br />December 1st:<br /><br />Day one is starting with drafting the pattern for the skirt. The boring but most crucial bit.<br /><br />~ Start by taking your true waist measurement and the length you want the skirt. In my case it was 32" and 16"<br /><br />~ Tape a good few pieces of newspaper together and get your measuring tape and marker ready.<br /><br />~ You can either use a compass for this or I used the lid to my bin. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0oGUgZYN0WrlY6wBcdsGTUYLHxjHP3bM9iIAYYIAInEfXh25OwE65INkmcH87_3gA7ADgY9qp4jc6uw_0CzR4LPh9SCcjmCHUJQM6hgOb2OsGDcjWe9E2PAuNo7S7FrtH2bLtW4XrsT8/s1600/IMG_0316%255B1%255D"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0oGUgZYN0WrlY6wBcdsGTUYLHxjHP3bM9iIAYYIAInEfXh25OwE65INkmcH87_3gA7ADgY9qp4jc6uw_0CzR4LPh9SCcjmCHUJQM6hgOb2OsGDcjWe9E2PAuNo7S7FrtH2bLtW4XrsT8/s320/IMG_0316%255B1%255D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681189855253665538" /></a><br />Either draw a circle the circumference of your waist measurement or draw it around something round like in the picture.<br /><br />~ Then halve what you just marked off. These points will be the side seams.<br /><br />~ Measure the length + half an inch from the circle line all the way around. then cut it out and you will have something like this:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_vGS7303ZrpIEU8RXQAvU-mkTVwZdVAij_EnJfXO5BolGYF9FCmcF7_g2dlbN14QaxvkzVKhmSGp1FZdE5wKK3JK-ZM0KS80xD5W0m6JxIXA9l4VAl45c4nLNtFrXKx4uGA52mUjuuUQ/s1600/IMG_0318%255B1%255D"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_vGS7303ZrpIEU8RXQAvU-mkTVwZdVAij_EnJfXO5BolGYF9FCmcF7_g2dlbN14QaxvkzVKhmSGp1FZdE5wKK3JK-ZM0KS80xD5W0m6JxIXA9l4VAl45c4nLNtFrXKx4uGA52mUjuuUQ/s320/IMG_0318%255B1%255D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681190657255954482" /></a><br /><br /><br />~ The waistband is very simple, it is basically a rectangle the length of your waist + half an inch each end and double the width you want + half inch each edge.<br /><br />For example mine will be 33" x 7"<br /><br />Cut that out as well.<br /><br /><br />Tune in for the next step tomorrow! :3Hexihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02122037543709043221noreply@blogger.com0
