Gyaru look!!

Hi! Today's look is a gyaru look or at least an attempt since I'm not totally sure of what counts as gyaru and what doesn't. I've read that basically any clothes can pass as gyaru as long as your makeup (and hair?) are on point so I suppose this look is in fact gyaru. At least I hope it is, I think gyaru is a cool style. And look how cute collage I made! 
















My hair was still slightly curled from the day before and I had the idea to do some cool look because it's rare that my hair is anything else but straight (I love having straight hair though), and once I found my huge fake eyelashes I decided to attempt a gyaru look! Usually I've just tried my best to copy gyaru makeup looks from the pictures I've seen on Pinterest but this time I actually watched a Youtube tutorial because I was curious to see how an actual gyaru did the makeup, and watching that did make it easier to do a gyaru makeup (even though mine isn't that extreme since I don't like to do contouring and highlighting, the best I can do is use a bit of blush lol).


















This outfit:

  • dress [H&M]
  • corset [mom gave it to me years ago] [I am also wearing it backwards cause I think it looks cuter that way. However I can't actually wear it like that since it's designed for someone with boobs and thus looks stupid on the backside like this.]
  • petticoat [thrifted]
  • shoes [Demonia]
  • socks [ebay]
  • choker [ebay]
  • nails [a friend made them as a commission and I love them]

Leopard Print Baker Boy Hat!!!

Hiii it's been a while! I'm going to try to post more often from now on, I'm again super inspired to actually blog because I've been reading other blogs and they're super cool, I love blogs. Blogs should really make a comeback.

Anyway today's post is about this super cute hat that I just made! I used this tutorial to make it and it turned out sooo well even though at many points I was worried that I'd fucked it up. Instead of velvet I used velour, though, so it was a bit more stretchy. I had some excess fabric from when I made a mini skirt last autumn (also wearing it right now) and I used that. I've wanted a leopard print hat (either a baker boy hat or a beret) for quite a long time and I decided to make one myself rather than wait around for one to maybe be sold somewhere.





Also notice how cute my nails are!! I saw a picture of similar nails (though longer) on Pinterest and I thought that I could actually recreate the look on my really short nails. It's a bit annoying that I can't do all these super cool and elaborate designs since I need to have short nails to play the guitar and the bass. However I love playing the guitar and the bass so it doesn't bother me too much.


This outfit:

  • skirt [made by me]
  • shirt [mom gave it to me yeaaars ago]
  • jacket [thrift store, the chains etc. added by me]
  • hat [made by me]
  • shoes [lolita wardrobe]
  • tights [ebay i think]
  • choker [ebay]
  • sunglasses [ebay]
  • belt [ebay]
