Shops and Notes


Tuesday January 12, 2010   

I’ve been asked a couple of times what my favorite YesStyle shops are. YesStyle has a ton of stuff, that’s for sure! So I wanted to list some of the shops I have purchased from~ If anything, they’re at least fun to peruse :)

And today I saw these really cute fleece ふわモコ-style cardigans on I’Miusa~! I love that the pockets are color blocks! Blue, black, and pink!



Nanako’s Hair Ribbons
I saw this on Nanako’s blog today. Since the real popularity of hairbows has exploded I haven’t seen many interesting ones since I last blogged about them. But I saw Nanako’s and thought they were the sweetest little hairbows I’ve seen in a long time! And perfect for kimono wear! Aweeeeeee :bigheart:

She has some mad cute eyelash extensions!! :orooro:


Rinka’s Wedding~
And of course, Rinka got married on the 9th in a small (40 people only!) private ceremony! :excitedyo:
I’m sure once her professional photos are developed she’ll be posting them on her blog. It’s funny to read the news about it because there’s always sort of snide remarks about her blog being Rinka’s main form of communication. :lol: :blushingcute:

I giggle at the fact he’s wearing such plaid pants, :kissyfaceheart:

She always has amazing tastes. I love that everything she chose was so simple and fresh. Not some glamtastic bejeweled hollywood bling-bling-barf-fest. Even her makeup was simple and timeless~~

She’s extremely private. I wouldn’t be surprised if she never “let’s us see” her husbands face. Either way, he’s a lucky man~~~~

I’m so glad she’s married, hahahaaaa! As a married girl it’s encouraging to see career women balance work & marriage (it’s harder than it looks =__=;; :rejected: )

    Those hair-ribbons are too adorable!

    Im waiting for a package from YesStyle from Celli Girl brand which hasnt been listed, so im hoping it’ll be good! >.

  2. Cecilia says:

    Congrats to RINKA! ^_^
    I definitely find that hair-ribbon style interesting!

  3. Skye says:

    i LOVE Rinka’s i guess “candid” wedding photos. Especially the third one you posted –she looks soo radiant and happy. i feel like she looks how all brides want to look on their wedding day. =]!

  4. Veronica says:

    YAY Rinka! She’s such a classy lady. Private celebrities really seem like they have it together. I like the way her blog photos aren’t like DSLR, she’s honest with the no-make, and the blurriness – like she is too busy having a life to make sure people know how beautiful she is! :)

    *sigh weddings*

    • jenny says:

      Yea these are her iPhone pics! Actually when she got the iphone she complained the camera was “too good” and that it loses a certain candid feeling compared to her old phone’s camera, LOL

  5. miki says:

    i love that sweater!
    lol super cute~
    why dont u like wei son ? ww sorry random question

  6. Thao says:

    WOWWWW! Her wedding is so beautiful – the dress, the flowers, the candles!! Everything except for the purple plaids….hahaha..not so sure what’s going on there.

    Ooooh I remember seeing the pink cardigan at the YesStyle store in SF!

  7. Sarita says:

    the hair ribbons are sweet and understated. They seem much more wearable than the big ones :)

    Also…I love the dress Rinka chose for her wedding! The layers remind me of an old Spanish style, I love it

  8. emma says:

    her dress is ADORABLE
    i think it matches up to carrie’s vivienne westwood dress!
    i love the huge bow
    her husband looks quite rock-star-y hahaha
    plaid pants XD
    i wonder who he is?

  9. Ruby says:

    I really hope she releases some photos of her wedding! I love love looking at wedding photos. Its kind of funny how she’s super secretive but pretty much blogs about everything haha

    Thanks you for the yesstyle recommendations! I’ve always been too lazy to really look through all the stores. But so far l’Miusa is my favorite. :)

    • Kim_Mari says:

      I love that Rinka is like that, it’s almost as though she’s saying, “Yep I’m an open book, but my family isn’t” and it’s refreshing & admirable instead of having some famous people be like “URR Leave me alone DON’T look at me BLAGH (monster noises)”.. LOL

  10. Honeydew says:

    I ordered a few things from the brands you’ve listed too. So far, I’m pretty satisfied with ZOO and Puffy’s clothing quality! I actually haven’t tried ordering from I’Miusa before, are they any good?

    I actually ordered that pink cardiga from YesStyle but I’m just waiting for it to be shipped right now. But I got the one from Puffy and not I’Miusa. However, I sent them an email to tell them to replace it with the one from I’Miusa if the Puffy one is out of stock/cancelled. I’ve realized that they tend to reproduce the same top but from a different brand a lot, which is actually not necessary a bad thing! Because a lof the times they tend to cancel my orders and it’s good to find replacements of the same item again. In some cases, it’s actually cheaper made by another brand! :)

    Rinka looks very pretty! And he dress is very adorable and cute.

    • jenny says:

      I got a cardigan from I’Miusa and was pleased at the quality. It was actually thicker than I had anticipated which was really nice!

      Yea, I think they might often be buying from the same distributer because a couple of shops will get the same item in.

  11. Kim_Mari says:

    Rinka is so gorgeous, she is really an inspiration to us modern girls. I love that she looks amazing dressed up but even more gorgeous with a more ‘natural’ look. Her smile is so infectious :D…

    it looks like her hubby has great hair and taste (I am SO loving those plaid pants~!)

  12. Leanne says:

    Plaid pants to a wedding?! To your own wedding?! AHHHHHH~ I don’t know what to say, original or horrible?! D; But Rinka looks beautful as always! Her dress is so lovely!

    • jenny says:

      I’ll just say that I’m sure it’s what he really wanted to wear & so she let him. I never knew how many kooky ideas guys have in their head when it comes to their wedding day until I got married, then talked to some girls who also recently got married! Guys usually want to wear strange things on their big day, and are adamant about it! Haahaa, it’s cute really~

  13. Umi says:

    the cardigans are super cute xD I really like big pockets~
    LOL at the plaid pants. I love how she’s so down to earth too :)

  14. Nicole says:

    Ooh I love Yumi~~!~ :D I’d love to order from YesStyle again, but there is so much on the site that I feel a bit overwhelmed. Thanks for posting your favorites! It’s really helpful since I always like the things that you buy from there!

    Rinka looks so gorgeous! I agree that she has such great taste!

  15. Ys says:

    Such a gorgeous wedding dress :) You’re right: it’s simple and timeless, which is just perfect for a wedding. Haha I’m the same now I’m married: I need more people to show that marriage isn’t all about being old and boring ;)

  16. Sara Mari says:

    Thanks for gathering your favorite YesStyle brands into one post. I like a lot of those brands as well^^ That parka is so cute, I really need one in the winter weather I think hehe!

    You’re right, those hair ribbons are really cute and something new, sadly I am too lazy to try that haha.

    Rinka was smart to keep her dress, decorations, makeup etc simple. I often hear that women look back on their wedding photos with some distaste because the style they choose went out of fashion quickly.

    • jenny says:

      They are balls hard to do with your own hair! I tried it this summer and to get it looking perfect… time consuming T_T. They sell “hair ribbon wig” attachments now, hahah (easy way out please!)

  17. Miamy says:

    :O Rinka’s gorgeous in her wedding pics! :D
    oh btw the hairbow thing is really cute! Although the Lady gaga’s ‘big bow’ was such a hit but I really liked this one better! It’s small, simple and sweet! Oh yeahhhh ;P

  18. Miah says:

    her dress is beautiful!
    love the cardigans too…
    and most on the list are my faves too! YEAH!!! *high fives*

  19. Tori says:

    Thank you for the links to the mokomoko cardi~! ^-^ I thought I liked the pink one, but the blue one is super-cute too!
    Nanako’s mini hair-bows are really cute & sweet too. It looks fairly easy, but I’m sure there’s an exact way to do it, just like anything else! *fail*
    & congrats to Rinka~~ the groom’s plaid pants made me lol too! XD

  20. Nao says:

    Rinka looks so happy i’m so gla for her! congratulations

  21. mishi says:

    Thanks for the links =3 I really like ZOO! Haven’t ordered from YESSTYLE since 2007 D:

    & Congrats to Rinka~!

  22. Misha says:

    Ahh the hair ribbons are so cute T__T~ do you think they’re real or attached?
    I hope a tutorial comes out for one soon haha x)

    • jenny says:

      Pretty sure these are styled from her hair & not attached wigs. Though I think she has extensions which helpssssss, lol!

  23. Lexxii says:

    There is soo much stuff that I wish I could fit in on yesstyle, darn my bust size! D:

    Rinka looks soo pretty. I love how it is simple too, very elegant. :) Her dress is gorgeous too I love it!!!

  24. Leanne says:

    Oh I was browsing Yesstyle looking for a big thick cable knit scarf. What do you think about the quality? I’ve read some reviews and they say it’s really hit and miss but generally the Korean brands are better? I haven’t ordered from there before but I’m really keen on putting one in~

    • jenny says:

      Yea I agree with the Korean brands having better quality. I usually go by the quality of the photos. If the shop has put real time into nicely done & plentiful photos the quality tends to be pretty good (at least on par with Forever 21 & such)

  25. m a y says:

    I’ve never bought anything on YesStyle, but actually the clothes are so cuute, I guess I’m going to buy something there soon :]
    Thanks for posting this list ^^
    The cardigans are so cute, they look warm *-*

  26. Bianca says:

    I loooooooooooooooooooooooove Rinka’s husband’s Curly hair!!! And Yesstyle is always great to window shop, better than going to the real mall because you can atleast turn off the computer X_X

  27. Erica says:

    I love Puffy!! I think that’s my favorite brand from YesStyle. :] And I agree with you, Rinka always has impeccable tastes!

  28. Tina says:

    AHH THE RIBBONS! ♥ hms, I think Sechuna has the cutest clothing ever. But my taste is kind of weird.. the sailor outfits.. hahaaa! oh, and grats to Rinka! Her hubby’s plaid pants and mini afro hair is kind of funny IMO *laugh … but it’s so romantic.

  29. Reita says:

    Wow hair ribbons? I wonder what will be next XD

    I love Sechuna too, their latest Winter items are so cute!

  30. Lissy says:

    Wish I had the patients to try the hair ribbons they are so dainty and sweet~

    Rinka is such a wonderful idol she really does inspire!

  31. fai says:

    I love her wedding dress! It’s so gorgeous with open back like that! Love her makeup too!

  32. Nana says:

    Ohh~~ she looks so happy in all her blog photos of her wedding!
    I hope everything works out well for her =)

  33. Linda says:

    ahhhhh rinkas pictures are so pretty!
    thanks for sharing!

  34. アリサ says:

    For YesStyle, they list how the bust sizes are, right? Is it talking about when the item is laid out flat or measuring the circumference of it? O_O

    • jenny says:

      Unfortunately it depends on the shops how the bust is measured & listed. Most are measured with circumference in cm. But the ones that list the bust at 40cm~50cm are only measuring across so you’ll need to double those digits to get the actual circumference.

  35. Ann says:

    He has big hair and plaid pants. I love him already ahaha She seems THRILLED in those photos, I’m sure they’ll be happy together :D
    Yestyle is iffy when it comes to sizing for me. I so have to shop with my measurements written down T_T

  36. Esther says:

    I’ve never shop on YesStyle.. But I definitively will shop at ZOO someday, they have such beautiful clothes =D

  37. Oh, did you have to let me find Yesstyle, so many cute things, but I have done enough shopping when I was in the U.S, at least for this month haha;)

  38. Leena says:

    Awww!! Rinka looks so happy! How could you not love a guy in plaid pants?!

    And YesAsia is for sure the best!

    And why have we not seen you in a kimono, Jenny?? :)

    • jenny says:

      I actually don’t have one. I wanted to buy a yukata while in Japan and then came to my senses that I haven’t anywhere to actually wear one, LOL!!

  39. Deso says:

    Thanks for posting your favorite YesStyle shops. I looked through their stocks and actually found something I really like. I actually never bought anything online before. So I was wondering if it’s reliable, and if they send me a wrong color or size, will they replace?

  40. Oh that is so cute. I like that peach coloured one :D I don’t think I’d pull something like that off though. My mom says I’m to old (and prolly fat) to be wearing stuff like that.

  41. oshi says:

  42. oshi says:
