I loved all of the collections but my favorite was definitely the collection from Object. I loved the typical Danish design and I especially loved the nautical inspirated coats and the military zipper jackets. Please, let it be Spring soon!

a closer look at japanese fashion mags!
i'm so bummed that U.S. fashion magazines (in my opinion) aren't as awesome as japanese magazines. even though i can't read the words, the pictures and layouts are so eye catching! like i said in the previous post, i was able to only pick up 2 issues. one was Jelly Oct 2010 and JJ Oct 2010.
i love the food section. i love sweets and any food that has fun colors or is packaged cute. i'm really picky with food, so if i don't like the taste but if its adorable to look at, i don't feel its a total waste :)
the makeup section is so great because they've got step by step pictures and lists of products. like tutorials, which we all love. i see a few familiar brand names like mac, nars, dior, even maxfactor. i also see international brands which of course spark my curiosity. you always want what you can't have!
the hairstyles are adorable of course. these girls have such pretty hair always perfect curls. i don't see alot of black hair though. kind of makes me wanna go light but not until my hair grows it. we'll see.
so i had to get them for myself. i searched high and low. of course forever21 had a pair so i got a grey for $2.50 and a thicker black pair for around $3.80. i also found a black opaque pair and a white opaque pair on sale at urban outfitters for $1.99! lastly was a dark grey thigh high pair at target on sale for $3.50
so if you're in an area with access to japanese magazines, snag some! you won't regret it. and you can always donate them to me :)

Monday Martini
This week I received this wonderful asymmetric shirt dress from Monday Martini in my mailbox. I absolutely love it! Check out their shop here, they have some great stuff! I combined the dress with a H&M jacket, H&M bag, Jeffrey Campbell Lita's, rings from H&M and Claire's, Ebay snake bracelet and ASOS watch. The Nailpolish is Essie's Sew Psyched.
I officially have my fall holidays now but I am busier then ever! How is that possible? I have lots of homework, interviews for the blog and I am working some days extra.. Yesterday was nice though, I visited the Bestseller press days together with my lovely friend Lisa. I will post the pictures I made there later on. Have a great day you wonderful readers!
long overdue UPDATE!
i'm sorry. i'm sorry. i'm sorryyyyyy! no more excuses. soo update on what i've been up to!
COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL
for those of you who didn't know, i recently graduated cosmetology school. it was quite an experience! my parents and my swinkle were the ones who pushed me into pursuing what i love to do, which is makeup. and that's what my long term goal was to get out of cosmetology school. what i didn't know was that cosmetology school was more focused on HAIR. which i've said numerous times that i was not into hair, and pretty much sucked at. but in time i grew to love hair. makeup will always be my #1, but by doing makeup AND hair that makes me more marketable. which means more $$$$ in the bank.
i'd describe myself as a pretty modest person, so i never though in a million years that i could actually do hair. and i auditioned to be on my school's "DESIGN TEAM" which is kind of like your typical student council except you get to go out of town and compete at beauty school competitions! and it also looks great on your resume! so i made the team! HOORAY! and with lots of prepping and practicing i placed 2nd for haircutting
and 1st for team (which i did makeup) our theme was sort of moroccan, so i used gold, orange, red, purple, black, and teal! for her lip i used mac mattene lipstick in Bing with a gold pigment in the center.
TRIP TO CALIFORNIA
of course i had to celebrate and since the competition was in pasadena, he took me to my favoritest place in the world! DISNEYLAND!
we also took a trip to little tokyo which is in downtown LA and we shopped and ate!
we were craving ramen so we visited orochon ramen which was featured on the show man vs. food but we didn't order the infamous special #2. i'm not that adventurous
i found some japanese magazines! i wish i could've bought every magazine but that would be too heavy to lug around. these magazines are wayyy better than U.S magazines! there's tons of outfit ideas, hairstyles, and makeup. these japanese girls are sooo freakin gorgeous! but why does every girl have the same hair color?
i also found some japanese skin care products. i've never tried a cleansing oil before but lately i've been getting a lot of dry patches on my face and i'm hoping this can keep my skin feeling soft. i've read reviews on the perfect gel and it doesn't cleanse as well as the perfect whip. it leaves a film which needs to be rinsed off with another cleanser, so that's a downfall. the perfect whip is made for oily skin and a little goes a long way with this product. i was told this foams up really well with a clarisonic, which i don't have but i'm considering investing in one. what are your thoughts on a clarisonic?
