Revisting Trends
Friday May 15, 2009
I tweeted about this but it made me giddy enough to blog about it :calmair:
Kumiko is rockin’ the double-dye job look from 2004! ADORE THIS! First, Kumiko :arrow:


It’s in her Valentine’s High (love love VH ever since I started getting Ageha!) promos here. All I could think was of this issue of CUTiE from April 2004~

SHOCKED I still had this scan I did from 2004 on my computer!


I loved that trend. I wanted to even do my hair like that but my job at the time wouldn’t have been happy. My current job for that matter~ but I’m just happy to see a super cute girl like Kimiko rockin’ it :ohyeslovely: Of course it’s a bit more subtle than the cover image, but most of the spotlighting on the trend were subtle variations too back in ’04. Honestly… 2004 has been my favorite year for fashion~ just saying. :snot: I also spotted it in June’s Ranzuki issue~ :skipping:

I was having a really crap day this week so Mike took me shopping to cheer me up! I only picked up a few things~ The onepiece is one of the “Fab Finds” from Forever 21 ($13.00)
:excitedyo:



This stuff from VS smells nearly exact to Bvlgari’s Rose Essentielle :rose3:
I also just got back from yet another mall window shopping spree and came home with pink jeans~ DAMN YOU POPTEEN & POPSISTER! I couldn’t help myself, pink jeans are the shit! :bow:


Let’s get drunk with Becky!(?)
I didn’t know Becky teamed up with Suntory. I found this site rather amusing~

Sorry this seemed random, my brain has been scattered all week. Honestly I wrote half of this last night then never finished! Hahahahhaa
Tomorrow I’m going to see Joel McHale live in B’more. I couldn’t imagine my weekends without watching The Soup.
OH yea!! About the new Leave in Conditioner I bought! I have to say I really like it! The first few days I was a little disappointed b/c I didn’t see a drastic change (my hair is extremely damaged at the ends.) But then after the 3rd or 4th day I suddenly noticed my hair was looking more like it did before! Smooth and not frizzy at the ends! It’s still damaged but this stuff has really turned back the clock at least 5 months worth. Haven’t tried the 3-minute miracle. I’ll try to do that before my cut on Sunday.

-
oo i will try the leave in conditioner. my hair is pretty much damaged at the ends too :(
-
That double-dye seems hard to pull off!
Pink jeans are love
-
It sucks that I’m allergic to the fructis garnier products! They make my scalp really itchy for some reason. =(
-
Wuaaaaaa ~ u always have
the cutest thing ^_^* -
Cute accessories!! I like the pink polkadot bow (hair clip?) especially.
-
Half hair colours? I’ve never seen that before. It looks super cute on the model though.
The bow accessories are soooooooo cute!
-
ohmy . last wk my mum saw a girl with half blue and half black at the train platform. . kumiko’s looked better though! oh my gawd.,, i love becky! just have to get any CUTiE magazine that features her . hahas. wonder who is as crazy as me ~
-
I like the half half colour!
I think Becky’s cute and pretty? but my friend reckons she looks really weird oAo *doesn’t get why/guys have weird taste?* I see her in weird CMs every now and then too! -
i don’t think fructis is healthy for your hair, bcs it contains aggressive ingredients + a ton of silicons, even worse than pantene. it just makes ur hair look smooth and shiny but in reality it just works for the apperiance, not for the hair itself.
-
woah that girl on the cover is the singer of my favorite band(shakalabbits^__^)her name is uki^^just recognized…
-
-
that’s such a cute bow!! & your forever21 bag is pink?! ours are bright bright yellow haha
-
Mmm, I have jeans like that at my work but I could never imagine wearing them. That picture makes it look really cute though :P. Love the colorful clothes they wear o.o
-
Kumiko is rocking that look for sure *V*
IT LOOKS SO GOOD ON HER!!!! JEALOUSNESSSSS.
Yeah, my tutors would have their eye popping out if I turned up with that hairstyle too haha. Trends = not always work-safe, haha. -
Don’t forget Kanako from egg! I love her cuz she’s so cool :D
I love the accessories you got~ Trying to save money though *will powerrrrr* -
The girls hair in the first picture reminds so much of chocolate and banana!!! Haha! Very very cute! The second girl with the short and more intense colors differences wasn’t that nice though.
I liked the pink pants! But I don’t know if I would’ve had the guts to wear pink pants! :p
I love the things you bought!!!!
-
I love the hairstyle, fresh and different :D
Amazing stuff you have!!!!!! -
Yay Becky! She’s in a drama I plan on doing a review on. If I can stay home that is. I really hope to do my hair like that, but it’ll have to be waaaay subtle. They don’t mind dyed hair, but I doubt they’d let me go all out at work.
-
Oohh double dyes! – I’m a “hair virgin”, I’ve never dyed my hair before! Gah.
Joel will be funny – he came to Boston a while back :D
He’s really skinny in real life!!Your F21 colorblock dress looks like the one in Kath’s shop :D
-
Aww, I think you could totally rock that hair style :) I admit it looks cool on the models, but no way I could get away with it, lolol~!
You MUST take a snap of your pink jeans, haha~ & have fun at the event today~! :)
-
I love the double dye look! I’ve wanted to get mine done again since egg magazine’s non-chan has been rocking it for a few months. It used to show up quite often on Visual Kei band members (obviously more extreme styles and colours), which is why I dyed my hair like that late 2007 – which is why half my fringe is shorter on one side #_ _
*almost grown back!* -
awwww, i missed your posts so much, hahaa.
I was waiting for the whole week, :P
the hair dye looks cool but i guess i would never try it because people in my country might think im crazy or something. -
Is that her in the scans too? She looks really different O:
I guess people change a lot over the years though.. haha ~ :)
She’s so cute though!! I wish I had enough cuteness in me to pull that off *_* -
Very interesting trend. I kind of like it. It is sort of like the half and half trend here, but like ours it the top and like under hair not right and left.
Where did you find Mike! Gosh, a guy that takes his wife shopping to cheer her up. It’s soo sweet. you guys are soo lucky. :D
And… Pink pant totally ftw! I want a pair of coloured jeans, or I can just die some that I already have… Hmmm, di I smell a craft project? Haha. I also love those earrings.
-
I almost dyed my hair like that back in ’05 actually. I didn’t have the balls to do it though so I just dyed the the bottom half of my head black, while the top of my head was dyed a sort of brown/orange color thanks to Palty.
I want to see an outfit snap of you wearing your pink jeans! ^_^
-
OMG!
forever21’s bag is neon pink now!?
:O -
i wish i had could do that to my hair, id die of embarrassment though from everyone going WTF at me. then 5 years later everyone would be rocking it. hahaha.
forever 21’s fab finds are love~
cute and cheap! :D -
ah! a new post ^______^ ~ i like the hair…i just can’t dye my hair lolll i feel like a loser…but I cant bring myself to change my hair color…i like my natural dark brown too much i guess~ my sister dyed hers last summer and I was thinking about it…but decided not to….so i could never do the half thing like the model hahaha~
-
That double-dye look is wicked cool. I swear, Japanese people have the best ideas when it comes to fashion. I love that pink polka-dot bow you bought :) I’ve never heard of Amuse before, but they seem to sell really cute stuff.
-
My sister lives in LA and she got to see a live taping of the Soup. OuO! And when he asked the audience where they were from, my sister shouted out her hometown, and it turns out Joel Mchale went to my rival school!
-
JOEL! OMG, i loooove him.hahaha.what would my life be without The Soup?
i’m loving the two color hair look.mmm, might try it when i finish college, my school’s too strict.ugh
-
The two-color look is adorable! On my list of “101 things” to do, I have dying my hair an extreme color and I might use the two-color for inspiration :)
-
Oh, good ol’ Skunk Hair. That trend’s still going on at my school. I’m just waiting for it to crash and burn. I did like how my friend had the under part of her hair dyed pink (and the rest was blonde). Those pink jeans are CUTE. I’m not into the vividly-colored skinny jeans that the little Emo children wear, but those are just adorable! I want some. :D
P.S. I LOVE THE SOUP!!! No fair you get to see Joel. :( I want to see him~! -
I’ve been having kind of a tough day, so I decided to get back to catching up on reading blogs and as always yours is so entertaining and fun to read. Thanks for the smiles. :)
-
I was shocked to find that Forever 21 had changed their bag color lol. I love their fab finds!
-
Aww don’t remind me =( I wanted to dye my hair half half but man after all the damage the previous dye jobs did I don’t think so ;_; stupid hair.
It’s really cool looking =)
-
Two-toned hair? I can’t say I’m that keen but then on the first two pics it does look really quite cute ;)
I love all the little accessories you bought. They are adorable
-
Ugh I’ve been loving Kumiko’s hair. I want to do something like that, but I don’t think I want blonde. Maybe something darker like black/brown red/brown? Hm.. I want to shop at F21 but their music is way too loud for me to stay there that long.
-
Just an FYI if you ever find yourself at Shibuya 109 bring earplugs!! It’s like 10x’s worse than F21 and it’s almost always hardcore gangsta rap! Even in Pinky Girls! :P
-
-
i’m loving the blue polka-dot top + pink jeans + yellow pumps look!!
it’s so summery & so adorable *O*the double-dye look thing is new to me
looks pretty cute on the model :3 -
It’s funny, right after I read this I saw so many girls here in NY rockin’ the two-tone! Most people I’ve seen have dark brown + a platinum blond top layer. I’m amazed at just how popular it is, but it’s a good look so there’s reason, I’d say.
-
oooo when i was like 20, i had my hair 2 colours! that was…. 2004! lol. the front was black and the back was red. it was pretty sweet.
i want pink jeans and yellow heels! my job now probably wouldn’t care :D
