ryuukou style :)

so i'm in this livejournal community and i semi-religiously post entries on it. i was looking for cute stuff that would be on my wish-list (that will always remain a wish) and OMG...cuteness. i didn't know early summer clothes could be this cute, seriously.

akina minami is soooo freaking cute in this litira dress. too bad her voice is sort of irritating. i do still however, think she is one of the cutest gravure models out there.

anything from alba rosa...is amazing.

gilfy has this sporty-boyish but feminine silhouette i really like.

i really want an A-line smiley shirt :( and cecil linc is one of my new favorite brands.

ayano fukuouji is seriously genius. her girly tink pink and ahkah accessories are to die for.

hyan (also a friend of rinka's) just produced holiday and her collection is so girly-sophisticated, i love it. too bad it's still a small brand (products are very limited) and hyan's attitude towards her customers is sorta sucky.

lacy, girl shorts.

they're starting to gain popularity in japan this spring/summer and i am desperately seeking a few pairs. i've been frantically looking for a pair under $50 (or 5000 yen). i love the combination of these lacy,ruffly shorts with a long tunic. i found a pair in black at urban outfitters that i am considering. i really want a white or pink one but so far, no luck.

one fashion trend i just don't understand.

2008-04-28T14:11:00.003-04:00

i just think they are so over-the-top. even the hippies at my school don't wear them. it makes me cringe when i see it in vivi.

i have decided to get a pair (or 2) of heart shaped sunglasses for this summer. aren't they the cutest things ever?

the perfect booties.

2008-04-20T23:13:00.002-04:00

so the gap blazer didn't work out too well. it was a bit too big. but no probbz. i found a perfect fit (with gold buttons!!!!) at dillard's for $40 in the boys section. i haven't bought it since i don't really have $40 to spare right now...but i'll get one asap.

yesterday, lucas and i went shopping at hanes mall and i juust found out they opened a forever 21 there. lucas bought a million clothes and i found the perfect black oxford booties.

the thick heel makes it easier to walk in and i can't wait to wear these with solid black tights.

size 2 petite.

2008-03-29T13:28:00.002-04:00

damnit! yesterday, i went to the gap and checked out that navy blazer, liked it, decided i was gonna buy it in petite (since i'm a bit short, haha) after i checked out goodwill sometime during the weekend. i came home around 3 or so, checked it back up online, yep, still there. well, 5 hours later,,,not anymore! i was sooo disappointed. i just wasn't up for paying a shitload of money and that was the only jacket i could find that was the right length. i ended up buying the size 2 on impulse. lengthwise, it seems okay. not sure about the bust and overall. if not, i can just return it to the store, they take back online purchases - which is amazing!

navy blazer article in soup that i'm totally digging.

i want a navy blazer so bad. gap's is the only one i can find with an overall shorter length. i'm planning on going and trying it out at the store maybe tomorrow..

too bad it doesn't have gold buttons...

i love how she mixes really expensive accessories and shoes with cheap clothes!

these pictures doesn't do her justice, but she's like a mix of mary-kate & kate moss. & i wish i had her beautiful hair!!

last but not least, lisa. she's probably a billion years younger than me but her fashion sense, wow. her blog is in swedish, so i can't read it but it's totally worth it.

for some reason, i had trouble signing into this account. but i was able to access it when i typed in my url. weird, but oh well. whatever.

today i went shopping with sayuppe & my mommy. didn't find much i wanted. american apparel is quite amazing tho. i wish i actually bought something there. i bought vivi [the november issue] at lotte. i don't think i like how rock is in style now. rock/punk/emo/goth is just so boring. there's not much creativity involved.

anyway, things i want for this season:

[& in every other color, of course]

[i also like it in white/gold/burgundy]

[also in peacock/heather grey]

most likely, going to get one of the boots (the minnetonka ones? since the blowfish booties are sold out till late october on delia's.com)
