Sumie!!!
Moving on, I have another thank you to give!
Adorable Owl tote and bright red hair bow!
Such a cute and unexpected surprise! And hey, my birthday still seems fresh in my mind :D
You can see Vivi & Pinky peeking out of the tote. I picked them up today. Rinka looks lovely as always in Vivi~
Lena really rocks the thick glasses look!! I wanted to share this post I found on the topic of the thick framed glasses trend. This person has comments on & translations of episodes of 東京カワイイ★TV! Here’s the one on the glasses trend.
So I wanted to talk about my new curling iron too. I love it! Well, it’s not really new. My previous curling iron of 5+ years broke this week. So when I went out to buy a replacement I decided to get the same Conair brand. It’s cheap AND 5 year life seems good to me :upheart: Of course it has had updates to the design in 5 years.
I have a larger barrel Conair that has some of the newer features too like the dial heat selector that ranges between 0 to 20 (I think,) and 60 second heat up. But my new one had a few more features. First off the on-light blinks until it’s fully heated (sweet!) My old one took 3~5 minutes to heat up by the way and this one was 30 seconds. Also it’s lighter! So light I was scared I’d hit myself in the face with it because I was used to something heavier. It has dual voltage so that’s a plus when traveling out of the country. Also the stupid kickstand to prop it up is gone!! GLORY BE!! That damn thing got in the way so badly not to mention caused 99.9% of any burns I’d receive. Instead it has a tiny black piece to prop it with a very small dot/bump on the tip that keeps it elevated.
Had to try it out of course!
So that’s taken care of. Hopefully won’t have to replace this 1″ iron for another five years!

Oh man I am totally going to order one of those shirts. I have a curling iron, but I always burn myself :( Need to go find a better one!
-
YAYYYYY you got them!!! Glad you like! :D did you get my MSN message about my kitty? Sorry about “that” ^_^;;;;
Your hair always looks so cute, especially these days~~
-
Aw, so many cute things in one post! I love TokyoKawaii Tv. Here is a *hopefully working* link to a whole lot more of them http://tinyurl.com/7vafa7
I love the tote bag and I have the same hair bow! So cute I had to get it in three different colors, ha ha.
Yay for new things. I don’t curl my hair too often but that Conair seems like a good brand. Thanks for the mini-review.
-
i need to get one of those curling irons! i hate the kickstand thing too. my hair always gets caught in it -_-”
-
That agent thingy is going to be so helpful *_*
I can only read some chinese words.. obviously not enough to buy stuff though lol
:)
Thanks Sumie! -
wow, where do you pick up your magazines? i’ve been looking forever to find a place!
-
gotta get vivi as soon as possible !!
those accessoires remind me of paris kid’s^^
do you use any haircare stuff to prevent it from drying?btw be aware of bags and shoes on taiwanese pages which cost less than 600TWD and are not japanese brand. slings of bags can rip off easily and shoes won’t last longer than 2 months.
-
that tote is amazingly cute. the bow in your hair is really adorable.
-
I Love your hair ~ it looks so easy to curl!
when i try it in my hair it looks funny +_+ . . . -
NO WAY!! That site actually puts episodes up now?!?! You have no idea how franticly I’ve been trying to watch that show since other sites stopped working, it’s been months! I finally gave up with Key hole TV which has the channel but ‘conveniently’ not to show nhk just before TKTV is on!
I’m going to spend today making up for lost time!Yay for new curlers! Mine also have the pathetic plastic thing to prop it up – do they expect us to use a heat proof mat now? I don’t see why there was a problem with a proper kickstand to prop it up. I need to get some new ones anyway because they don’t get hot enough quick enough so I hardly use them.
-
your friends give you such thoughtful and generous gifts! rinkachan looks beautiful in vivi this month~! i love the bag, is it handmade?
-
That bag is so adorable!
I bought an expensive ceramic flat iron three years ago, and it broke last summer. Turns out what broke isn’t even in the warranty!!!

I never knew Conair made better electronics! I’ve always avoided them after I tried using their .5″ flat iron. It smelled like burning rubber/plastic everytime I turned it on. ;_;
How much was your curling iron? It looks so awesome!
-
I love the owl tote!!! It’s so cute!! And you look gorgeous with that red bow!
Wow, 5 years a long time, especially if you use the curl iron every day, like my friend. I never use my curl iron :p
-
Ohh! I need a curler like yours~ :D
-
FABULOUS bag, bow and iron! Totally summer-y :D REH, purchasing service…so tempting!!!!
-
I love your hair colour and your curls look super natural. My curling iron just isn’t working for my hair anymore…
i’m really loving all the huge bows!
-
Wow! An owl bag! That’s awesome.
-
pretty owl bag!! mmm need to get curling irons… my permed hair isn’t curly anymore so sad!
-
Thats a super cute bag and bow XD!!
You make me want to get a conair hair curler too, but unfortunately, my hair hasn’t grown out long enough yet :(
-
OMG~ your hair looks so long!
Lovely curls and I envy you for the adorable owl tote ;_; I Love owls -
Super-cute tote, & that bow looks exactly like the one I got at claire’s!! Did you get it there? I like the red so much! :)
I lol-ed at the article on the glasses trend~ Sarah Palin a fashion symbol WTF??? lolol~
-
Big thanks to SUMIE! ^_^ Going to try and get a shirt~~
The tote/bow are so cute!!
Your hair looks so natural with the curls, the iron/whatever products you use are definitely A+++!
-
BTW, Jen. Sorry for bother you but D: I wanted your advice. Here in Chile is starting the fall season, so you could please tell me which mags of your archive I could see to guide myself trough the past fall/winter season? Since i’m part of the other hemisphere T_T
Thank u, sweetie!
-
i love giant bows!
hehehe~ my hair is too short to curl at the moment, but then i don’t think my hair looked good curled. it was too thin and fine and didn’t look as luscious and flowy as other people.
-
Yay fake Cher shirts!
I love the curling iron – my hair is super thick and wavy, I’d actually like to find a straightener, haha :D
-
the bow is caaa-uuuute!
i ♥ LENA!! -
I don’t use curling irons…i use regular hair irons to curl my hair~ it’s super easy~~~ I like your hair curly! so cute~
haha the tote is super cute ^____^ and so are the bows! I remember my hair styles during my childhood always involved a bow lolll my mom~~~
-
Haha, fake cher shirts. I will admit though, they caught my eye. I might end up ordering one when I get paid. :’D
Ugh! I envy your hair. I have to straighten my hair before I curl it but the curls don’t stick very well at ALL! Not to mention that my hair’s too short to curl really and my curler is from like …1980 something. :/ (It was my Mom’s curler)
-
I love love LOVE that bow! IT’s so cute and feminine! It looks good on you! :)
-
awww your straight hair is really really cute too! i think you look great either way – curls or straight. but the curls make you look more…mature i guess? and of course, more romantic too hahaha. i’m so glad they finally got rid of the kickstand!!! -O- that thing was an abomination~ i burned myself sooo many times with it too! hope this one lasts as long as the old one too~~
-
You have really beautiful hair. I love the different shades :) And I never noticed how amazingly long your hair was :O I haven’t curled my hair in ages. Was always afraid of using a curling iron because I didn’t want to burn myself ^^’
-
i love the fake cher shirts . if only i can squeeze myself in it !! :D
your hair is cute in curls . (: i always end up burning myself lol . -
Hey~~ you are on my pupe girl friends && I came across your blog from there!! It’s super cute so I hope you don’t mind me reading from now on ^ ^ I loveee the cher print~~ Isn’t it so cute that pupe girl made their own eco bags as well??
-
For some reason I can never get my curls to come out right. I think it’s the way that I hold it. The come out too big on top and the bottom points out like I gave up halfway.
-
What a cute tote!
I’m very jealous how quickly you get your Japanese magazines! I had to wait at least a month after they come out in Japan for them to arrive at the supermarket I bought them from. But now I have to get them all online because they closed T-T
Your curls are super cute, I never have the patience to do anything to my hair xD
-
the thick black glasses trend is making me look cool with NO EFFORT :D AWESOME!
/wonders what she’ll do when trend passes ): -
I’m always so jealous of your luscious locks *starry eyes* Once my hair grows out again, maybe I’ll get a small- barrel curling iron… My large- barrel just makes me look I’m from 1970 or something LOL XD
-
that tote that meru sent you is super cuteee♥
the red bow looks adorable on you ^o^your hair looks so pretty~!!
ive always been scared to use curling irons T__T
cos i tried it once && burnt myself LOL xD
so i curl my hair with my flat iron~ -
i absolutely love your curls!
they are soooooo cute :D
and 5 yrs for a curling iron, wow.. that’s pretty long and worth the money o.oRinka is so pretty 24/7~ *-*
-
haha, i don’t remember if i’ve ever left a comment on here before, or if i’ve lurked so many times that it finally registered :P
anyway, thanks for saying hello :) i love your blog.
& that owl bag is ADORABLE! so is the red bow! i can’t find red bows (or leggings) & i’m going out of my mind trying to find them! -
Five years? That’s great! Sounds like a really good brand. I love how your hair looks when you curl it. Does it naturally curl or do you always have to use the tongs?
I LOVE that bag! It’s just so so cute. I know I keep saying it but I really need to get some eco-bags like that. They are just the cutest
-
I always have to curl it. It’s naturally straight as straw :(

this site:

looks like a cheap knockoff of yours. X___x lamos-
omfg…O.O
some people really feel like having to copy everything before trying on their own xD
i think it’s even harder to copy this and get it working under wordpress instead of building a simple div-lay or something… -
Yea~ You’re not alone in your assessment. It’s been an unremitting issue~
-
Wow, lame! At least people recognize it comes from you so she’s not fooling anyone~~
-
-
-
the tote is SUPER cute! and so is the bow
i really like the bow on the tote too, hahaa -
do you have any techniques when curling your hair? it’s so perfect! I wish I can do the same to mine.

There are some new tutorials in Vivi I’ll try to share. Till then these posts might help:

i’m your fan too :D -
However, it is absolutely essential to understand that the term HEPA should not
equate to immediate trust of the purifier using it. Pick the right
unit and you will enjoy clean indoor air for years to come.
Blueair air purifiers were founded in Sweden in 1996. -
It is less expensive but the appeal in the kitchen is great because of its natural shine.
That translates into energy savings and that is
a huge gain in today’s slow economy. At home, you most
certainly will be able to wake up and enjoy the scent of cooking
bacon and brewing coffee.
