December JJ Takeaways

Ah JJ! This issue was actually buy’able for me! I was a bit surprised & maybe even a bit concerned for myself (oh no, JJ?! Am I falling in love with mote-kei again?!) But no, that’s not exactly it. :good: I wanted it because it has a great Rinka feature (after feeling left out in the cold by PopSister’s pathetic Rinka spread.) But I bought it because it had mode style coords and make and I could use a few more of those for winter inspiration. Plus sweet Christmas season styles!

I am feeling the more “sweet & girly” styles for the holidays lately. Because Christmas is such a big couples/date thing in Japan it’s hard not to get wrapped up in looking sweet, bright, and lovely! *_* Especially the makeup. Shimmering, not too heavy but not too natural either. Gold & silver sparkle!Yeah! I want that for Christmas!

So some things that caught my eye so I scanned them in~ Most of these are for my personal “lookbook” which I use to recreate new looks out of items I already have in my closet.

Ok, so Rinka did the “nude tee” for Marc Jacobs this year in celebration of the new Aoyma store opening and to raise skin cancer awareness. It was only available on opening day at the Aoyma store. It was rather cheap too, like $60.

A snap from the rest of her JJ photoshoot! It was quite lovely but very, very light. White clothing on cream background = a bitch to scan in, haahaa!

There was a really big section focusing on the 3 styles “Simple, Girly, and Mode.”

Pretty big Ena Matsumoto spread too~ Big enough that she could have been on the cover actually. A full interview, multiple coordinate pages, and rather large hair and makeup sections!!
