S/S Hit Items and Trends!

     Hello Cuties~  I've actually been meaning to make this post for some time now.  We're already halfway through with spring and summer is right around the corner!  Even though I complain about the heat, I've been so eager to dress up with all the spring / summer clothing trends. 

     Must have items for the spring and summer are jumpers, overalls, and rompers.  They're versatile, fun and cute, they can be dressed up or remain casual.  And what I love most about jumpers, overalls and rompers are that they're simple and can be found just about anywhere!

     Street snaps are my absolute favorite thing about Japanese fashion; to see individuals standing out from their surroundings with their style brings me so much joy.  I think this is why I've always been more fond of EGG (and likewise) over Popteen, Popsister, and Ageha (although Ageha is #1 when it comes to makeup).  I've always found EGG's coordinates to be stylish and trendy, yet realistic?  What I mean by this is, the outfits displayed throughout EGG are very do-able for everyday life.  A lot of the items used are things you probably already have in your closet!

     So returning to jumpers, overalls and rompers, as I mentioned they can be paired with so many different things like:  off the shoulder tops, graphic tees, hoodies, cardigans, and blouses.  You could do just about any gyaru substyle using them.

     Jumpers, overalls and rompers were my personal hit items for the spring and summer.  Nevertheless there will always be trends come each season for every brand.  After taking a look at the new releases for a few brands, I think two particular trends prevail.

     What are your favorite spring / summer trends?  Which brands' season are you loving and which are a total miss for you?  I'm not head over heels for Ma*rs' recent release.  There are like two items that I liked, but nothing really jumps out at me.  Although it's not considered a gal brand, Swankiss has won my heart~! ♥

Until next post!

Gearing up for Spring: Coords!

Hello cuties~
Spring is coming soon and I can't wait!

Although I wish we could skip over all the rainstorms that are bound to wash over us next 2 months.
( ｰ̀ε ｰ́ )

But I'm so ready for all the spring wear to arrive!  It's time for Liz Lisa to shine lol
But seriously bring on the floral, pastels, and light sweater / dress combos!!!

I stayed in today and decided to play dress up since I was anticipating a really bad storm
(that didn't come until 6pm -___-")

♡ One item 2 ways ♡

Today's item is a sweater from Forever 21.  I'll incorporate it into 2 different coordinates.

~ "Pretty in Blush" ~

loooove the detail on the back of this sweater!

~ "Kitty Kat" ~

that moment when you forgot you owned a cat ear hat and cat purse

oops lol

Ok so I stopped in Ulta yesterday and great news:

They now carry Makeup Revolution / I ♥ Makeup's Chocolate Bar palettes

both in-store and online!!!

MY PRECIOUS ~ ~ ~

I've never even heard of this one??!!
I can't wait until they bring in the newest peach palette omggg

I realize I never got to tell y'all how my Mardi Gras went!
I compiled another short video from the parades I went to that day.

Mardi Gras day is always exciting for me because I get to see the truck floats!  I just love seeing how each krewe decorates their float each year.  There was even a float for Prince that blasted his music! All decked out in purple and it read "Royal Rebel".

 I can't even explain why I found this "haunted horror house" float so funny.  I think it's the werewolf that did it for me
(*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))

besides the colorfully decorated floats, there are people roaming the streets in eye-catching costumes too! I love seeing costumes during carnival!

 The "throws" are also something I look forward to on Mardi Gras day.
My mom caught this bead that has one of our biggest landmarks, the Superdome, on it!
( I added a "in real life" photo of the Superdome lol)

I apologize for slacking and being late on posts these past few weeks.  I started working again and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.  There's a fun collaboration coming soon so please look forward to it!
