Harry Potter 30 Day Challenge Day 5

Day 5 - Saddest Moment

When Lupin and Tonks die. When you see them lieing together after the battle. Both the film and the book made me weep like a baby!!! :'( the thing is, in the film you dont know about teddy. Itd be way sadder if you knew about lupin's struggle and teddy in the film.....

Hmm.... 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. :)

30 Day Fairy Kei Challenge Day 17 and up

Opps, like i said before, not keeping up with blog series i started.
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!

☆ Day sixteen: How did you dress before Fairy-Kei?

Like this:


hahaha no just kidding, i was wearing my friends costume there.

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.




☆ Day seventeen: Do you dress in also another style, e.g. Lolita.

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.



☆ Day eighteen: How do you dress when you go to school?

Uni. ahem.
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.


☆ Day nineteen: 5 of your favourite toys.

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. :)



☆ Day twenty: What do you see in Fairy-Kei in general in the next 5 years?

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!)



☆ Day twenty-one: 5 of your favourite cartoons.

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



☆ Day twenty-two: The most expensive thing you’ve ever bought.

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.



☆ Day twenty-three: 10 of your favourite foods.
Easey peasy:
Custard
Chips/Fries
Cupcakes
Croissants
Pineapple
Strawberries
Cherries
Yorkshire Puddings
Jaffa Cakes
Pop Rocks



☆ Day twenty-four: Your favourite motif.

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??




☆ Day twenty-five: How do people in school/work react to how you’re dressed?

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!"



☆ Day twenty-six: If you could put any phrase on a conversation-heart sweet, what would it be?
"Life is One Time"

It's from the Morning Musume song "Mikan". I really like the line and it's totally true. you only live once!





☆ Day twenty-seven: Your dream job?
Costume Interpretor: working alongside Colleen Atwood

Or i really REALLy like the idea of opening a cupcakery!



☆ Day twenty-eight: 5 of your favourite places.

Grand Canyon - a bit "out-there" but i loved being there and would love to go again

London - I love China town and covent garden!

Bournemouth - It's such a great place to live and i think i'm going to stay there!

Japan - Duh! Not been there yet but i know i will love it! XD

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




☆ Day twenty-nine: Your favourite colour-combo.

Pale Pink and Blue or Lilac and Pale Yellow




☆ Day thirty!: Do you see yourself wearing Fairy Kei in 5 years time?

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!

30 Day Fairy Kei Challenge Day 13

Already on Day 13?!

☆ Day thirteen: What do you carry in your bag?

I'm not a very girly girl when it comes to what i carry in my bag. I don't really wear make up or anything so This post might be a little boring. XD



I don't really keep a rat in my bag, he just took a huge interest in this brand new thing in the living room that he could climb on. :)

My bag is from Accessorize. It's my winter bag.

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.

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.

Body spray, always important.

Purse - also from accessorize. "I heart Tokyo" incidentally my rat is called Tokyo so this is kinda two statemnts. XD

House keys - the cupcake keyring is from my boyfriend. :)

hair clip - i always end up needing one totally randomly

nail varnish - incase of chips

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.

Last but definitely not least, my inhaler. I cant go anywhere without this thing thanks to my worse-than-terrible asthma. bleh.

30 Day Fairy Kei Challenge Days 10 and 11

Sorry for not posting yesterdaaaaay. was busy and today i was working. advent calendar post coming up next. oh and a clothing post. woot.

☆ Day eleven: How do you react to the negative ones?

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.


☆ Day twelve: The craziest coord you’ve ever worn.

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.
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. :)

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. :D

30 Day Fairy Kei Challenge Day 10

Day 10! And happy December 1st!! Now i can blast christmas carols really loud without my boyfriend telling me off! YAY! I love christmas. :D

Onwards!

☆ Day ten: How do you react to positive comments or people curious about your style on the streets?

I live in a student town so a lot of people dress differently or creatively so i actually don't get much attention from dressing in F-K. if people do ask i just answer their question and move on. :) I'm polite and smiley i guess. :)

30 Day Fairy Kei Challenge Day 9

☆ Day nine: Your most treasured piece of clothing.


Most treasured piece of clothing? uhm..... i don't know! haha

I'll do two. one fairy kei-ish one other kind of clothing.

*goes and hunts around in her wardrobe*

I don't really have a treasured item of clothing. i treasure many things but clothing really isn't one. I guess because the clothes i have at my uni house are things that i have neither spent a lot of money on nor gone to a lot of effort to get them.

I guess when i get them my new AP socks, the satchel i am getting for xmas, my secret shop Starry Engineer boots and if i get it, a My Little Pony hoody i have my eyes on will all be in the running for treasured item.....

I have a couple pieces of jewellry i treasure though.



My Tiffany's ring that i got for my 21st birthday. It's silver with a pink sapphire in the centre of the heart. I love it and wear it every day. :)

Also there is my Headless Tess cupcake necklace



It's one of a kind! :) I bought it years ago and actually managed to lose it and was very upset about it too. Then i found it before i moved out stuffed in a bag stuffed in my wardrobe. oops!

Also on this list are my bracelets!



From the hand up:

a BFF bracelet my best friend gave me
My nomination bracelet i bought while in venic. i have 3 pretty links on there, one is an A for Amber, a Japanese flag and a guitar (because my boyfriend at the time played guitar, we're still friends which is why i kept it on there)

Rainbow stars were given to me by my friend on my birthday

Pink eye-shaped beads are from my friend from her holiday

blue crazy band is from my friend. it's shaped like a crown. :)

The red and black beaded one is a gift from cornwall from the same friend as the BFF bracelet.

The bright yellow band is from my E4 day (i didn't get it. :( )

and the last one is one i got when i went to see Cirque du Soliel the first time. it says "When i grow up i will run away and join the circus" on it. XD

30 Day Fairy Kei Challenge Day 8

☆ Day eight: How do your family and friends feel about the style?

Well my mum I think is a bit confused with my sudden love of pastel colours. I think she has the whole "you're a grown up. act like one" attitude to everything i like right now.

my friends are a bit like "whatever" i dont really talk to them about fashion because they're just like "you're so weird" if i say i like something a bit weird. I dont think they like it particularly but they keep their mouths shut for the most part....

such a supportive group of people. ¬_¬'

30 Day Fairy Kei Challenge Day 7

☆ Day seven: 5 songs that remind you of Fairy-Kei.

5 songs that make me think of Fairy Kei.....

hmmm..... tough question. let's see:

~1 PONPONPON by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu



yes yes oh so predictible yet again but this song was released around the time i decided to seriously think about becoming more Fairy Kei. And around the time i began this blog. :)

~2 My Little Pony theme



for obvious reasons.

~3 Sekaichi Happy No Onna No Ko by C-ute



actually listen to this one if you have never heard it. XD

This song is proper hyper and happy and in the video they wear suuuuper foamy skirts. :) happiness all over which is what Fairy Kei is. :3


~4 Magic Girl by Orange Caramel



LOVED this song when it came out. Just the whole thing is one massive ball of happy. :)


~5 Endless Love by Yao Yao (the video says free love but on the album it's called Endless Love)



she's so cute! either this song or Di Di Da by her.

30 Day Fairy Kei Challenge Day 6

☆ Day six: Your luckiest thrift-store find.


I still haven't got a photo of it. i'm really terrible with taking photos.

I wouldn't really call it a thrist store find because i got it all in H&M but i found a pair of boyfriend cut dungarees (overalls) which i have now cut into shorts and decorated with ribbons, a pair of pale orange pumpkin shorts, pink and white stripey skirt and a mint green slouchy skirt. all this cost me just £8!! bargain! considering the dungarees were originall £30 and each of the skirts were about £10 each originally i find this a very good find. :)

☆ Day four: 5 of your style-icons

Hmmm ok....

Numero Uno:
I know this is a really obvious one but Tavuchi.




I just love pretty much everything she wears! She is the definition of Fairy Kei really and i love her style. i want those shorts!! XD


Number Two:
Laffi from Serepuff



She's frickin' adorable. i love her daringness when it comes to mixing styles and her sewing skils never fail to impress me! :3


Troi:
Spank! girl Eri!



Her style has a most subtle tone to it that i can relate my fashion to more. I really hate her fringe (bangs) though. XD

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu



I know i know, but she's so cute! i love her style and her hen-gao and i try to inject a little insanity into my life everyday. she is today's dose. :D

Last but not least:
Whoever this girl is



I cant remember her name or even what her blog is. I was reading it the other da but she's totally amazing. literally everything she wears is wantable. She can do Airy Fairy Cutesy but also Hot Dang Sexy too. i want her wardrobe. XD

30 Day Fairy Kei Challenge

☆ Day three: A picture or video of your bedroom.


psssh. i dont think so. my room is a mess right now. you can have a photo when i tidy it next week after my hand-in for uni. XD








Here's some Spank! stuff i find really inspiring and make me wanna sew my butt off instead.




Love the whole braces x highwaisted poofy skirt thing going on here.



Loving the different colours and patterns in all the different layers in this skirt. think it's Monascas Banana but oh well it was on Tavuchi's blog. the cool this is this skirt has bloomers attatched underneath already! :D



I dont want a patchwork backpack but i do want to make a patchwork flared skirt. :3



cute dress, cute socks, cute hair. i dont want to dress like her i want to BE her.



being almost an hourglass figure myself i love the idea of emphasising a tiny waist with a skirt like this. Plus Eric's style is totally adorable. :3

30 Day Fairy Kei Challenge Day 2

☆ Day two: Why and how you got into Fairy-Kei.


Hmm..... you know, I dont even know!

I mean why do we get into anything? I loved the cute factor, and the colours and the total airy fairy ness! and i love the name. I mean what's NOT going to be adorable about a fashion called Fairy Kei? XD

I think i read about it online somewhere and a brief description and decided to look into it more. I think i was interested in looking up about Decora and Hime Gyaru and I prefered Fairy-Kei because it was more subtle i think. or it can be. XD


Just thought of another thing i dislike about fairy kei:

~ I hate it when i try to wear it and my friends look at me and go "wtf are you wearing?" it's meant to make me feel happy (which it does, have no fear) but i hate that it prompts people in the UK (dunno about the US) to look at you and be all like "eugh. wtf?" and i live in a student town!! lol!

☆ Day thirty!: Do you see yourself wearing Fairy Kei in 5 years time?



So! Day one!

5 things I like about Fairy Kei:
~ The colour palette - i love pastel colours and the ability to wear an outfit with loads of pastels in without it clashing is great!

~ The layers - layers petticoats on top of each other looks so cute!

~ The characters - all the 80s characters are things i loved when i was a kid so it's really fun to find a My Little Pony tshirt or something and make it kinda cool! XD

~ The girlyness - fairy kei makes me feel cute and girly again

~ The freedom - you can basically do anything with fairy kei, dress how you want as long as you stick to the colour palette and themes. I also love the creativity of it and the DIY aspect. i love how Spank!'s stuff all looks handmade (because it is!)

5 Things I Dislike:

~ Difficult to find - it's sooooo hard to find things to add to my fairy kei wardrobe!! Original 80s stuff is impossible to find and when i go shopping to find something particular there is never anything right. I think it's part of the DIY part too that it's hard to buy something with the intention of altering it. And a lot of things i see that i like i just go "well i can just make that myself" then never do. lol

~ The Layers - yeah i know i said i liked them but i also hate them. putting on too many layers just makes me look fat and frumpy and with the size of my chest, it's hard to wear more than like 2 layers.

~ The connections to Lolita - ok ok so i dont exactly dislike it but when i find a cute fairy kei post but it's the only one on a lolita themed blog it gets on my nerves. I love reading lolita blogs but i wanna see more fairy kei blog posts people! XD

~ The price - even when you do find a fairy kei gem, it's all suuuuper expensive. I'm a student and very poor so this is a kick in the balls (so to speak).


that's all i can think of really. XD
