An Update on Various Things

Thursday June 02, 2011   

So last summer I bought this $5 t-shirt while at the beach and meant to chop it up to make it more comfortable. So I finally did it for the upcoming visit and summer in general. Mike has the same tee in black. Couple twins. :P We’re gonna look so wonderfully douchey hahaha.

Some people were asking about what styles Sweet features. I really don’t have much scanned in but here are a few from the April & June issues. Sweet is a casual girly magazine for women ranging from early 20’s to 30’s. I’ll try to scan in BETTER examples soon.





Oh, reminds me, I wanted to show my Outlet Shopping get! :celebrate: This Kate Spade iPhone case was 50% off! Her stuff is OK sometimes. :deco11: I love the look of newsprint. And also I can enjoy the juxtaposition of a newsprint cover for an item essentially killing the print business. Just saying, it’s sorta cruel in theory!

The case is super secure and rugged too. Also easy to put on! Though when it vibrates on my office desk now it’s extra loud! I don’t care because I’m not gonna turn vibrate off lol. Desk neighbors can deal. 

Then today I was super happy to see I got the summer edition of Used Mix! YES!!! WHOA, this one has SO MUCH MAKEUP!

AMO on the cover. There’s like a section called AMO BOOK in this issue showing her style, daily life, etc. I dunno… this cover shot,… lol



きゃりー is in this issue too. She’s all over lately in lots of magazines making the rounds.

Miho Tanaka meets Snidel “Summer Night” shoot~


Summer trend battle snap!! Hahahahaa~~~

Then also today I received this really cool and fairly large Hong Kong postcard from Emily!
THANK YOU DEAR~~~!

I might be offline the next few days. Gonna be busy

      Mike bought us matching owl ones but we never wear them at the same time too!!

      You’re so nice t___t;; Actually I don’t feel it’s random. Lately I write posts about my “personal style” but never publish them because I figure it’s boring to talk about so in-depth =Y I was basically depressed winter was leaving and at a loss for what I would be wearing for spring. Things sorta worked out I guess :D~ Without me paying much attention.

    Nice I like the scans you put in! I guess these are your favorite looks from SWEET?
    Also it was a neat idea to cut up your shirt! I think I might be too afraid to do this on my own. What kind of cut do you make…exactly? lol

      Some of these I really love like the makeup & Emi’s looks but I’ll be honest I had like NONE scanned in so I scanned in a couple of these like 5 minutes before posting. Pretty randomly LOL

      For the shirt I recommend hoping on youtube for a quick visual. I just cut out the neck & bottom of this $5 tourist tee. I sorta hate how confining most t-shirts feel so I bought this with the soul purpose of chopping it :)

    Love your chopped up t-shirt! Great idea but I’d be too scared to do that to any piece of clothing. I wouldn’t know what I’m doing. XD

I haven’t used the puff though LOLOL using my brush instead. Do you use the puff? It’s so pretty I dun wanna mess it up hahahaaa

    I love the first outfit and your DIY shirt! The scans from Sweet are really inspirational, too- I may have to invest in a subscription.

    It’s so funny to see Amo in Used Mix. She used to be one of my style icons back when I was into Kera, so it’s funny that her style has taken a similar direction to mine.

      That’s always nice when a style idol changes with you! There are some past inspo models I do miss reading their blogs but their style is so different to mine now. :)

    anyway, your $5 shirt and skirt coordination reminds me of a shoot in Mina magazine, can’t remember which issue, but it looks so summer-ish and sweet!

    Thank you for the scans!! I have read and subscribed to Kera and Fruids before – have you read them? I don’t like Kera as much anymore – it’s not my kind of style anymore I guess. I buy them when I visit my parents in Stockholm, I def look for sweet next time!! ^_^

      Sure have! I never had a subscription but I’ve flipped through the first Fruits book & Fresh Fruits book years & years ago! Kera I’ve flipped through at the store back when I was reading only CUTiE & Zipper magazine :) I’m the same, CUTiE & Zipper weren’t my style after a while either.

    i think i’ve fallen in MAD like with your whole site!!! i absolutely love the way you blog and your iPhone kate spade cover is BOMB :D :D any way i could get one for my BlackBerry Torch, you reckon? lol.

    ps: did you code the design for your blog all by yourself? or is this a pre-made template of some sort?

      WOW thank you *blush* mega compliment :DDD

      Yeah I designed the “artwork” cut it up, and coded it into a usable blog template I “built” from scratch myself. But it’s sorta a cheat because I’m a Web Developer so I guess you could say it’s what I do :P

          I usually do it in about 2 to 3 evenings graphics to finished template. I don’t get inspired much to change + with a full time job I’m quite busy.

    Thanks for the scans :)
    I love going through Japanese magazines because I find their style or their outfits that is featured is more wearable outside. I usually read Seventeen and Marie Clarie but the fashion and makeup featured in there isn’t something I would wear when I go out.
    Time to download new magazine scans :P

      It’s bi monthly now & I appreciate you asking b/c when I got in this issue I said “hum… feels like I JUST got an issue in though, weird.” Your question sparked me to take a look & sure enough it’s no longer quarterly! They JUST changed it to bi monthly so there will be 6 issues a year now! :D

    what a great post. thanks for posting so many images. i will be saving them, and using them as references when i get dressed in the morning! sadly, though, as much as i love maxi skirts, they are always too long for my 5ft frame. DDDD:

    sweet magazine looks really great. it seems a bit similar to vivi, which is one of my favorite magazines. i like how it is girly but not overly overly girly, and how some of the styles could just as easily be found on nylon japan (my other favorite magazine).

      Awe I feel ya, I’m 5′ 1″!! This actually isn’t that long too, it falls at my shins!!

      I guess I would say Sweet is a slightly more mature version of Vivi though a lot of the looks could easily overlap.

    I absolutely love love LOVE Sweet magazine! I’m surprised that I like it because i’m not usually big on mags with expensive things in them but recently I noticed my style becoming way more mature and simple. Plus Kiko Mizuhara is in the magazine and I love Kiko :).

      Sorry things have been so crazy for you lately. Hope you get a few moments to rest :)

      I feel the same. Usually I’m clearance rack buying at Forever 21 but now I don’t want gobs and gobs of cheap clothing but rather a few nice, simple but with a twist pieces that might be a bit higher on the price scale ^^;;

    Ooh, I had heard of Sweet before but after reading your blog (and seeing your posts about it) I have gotten very into it..! I think that I just MUST order their two newest magazines, eek (I also want their “reader gifts” from those magazines too badly, haha :—))! May I ask you that from which magazine (or rather issue) is that 3rd scanned page from (there reads “lesson”:))..?

    (thanks for leaving a comment to my blog too, it made me glad ^^)
