Cinnamoroll-ing Down the Hill
I’ll tell you a secret – I wasn’t always a Hello Kitty Fan! My fave Sanrio character is in fact Cinnamoroll, and here’s my Cinnamoroll inspired outfit.
Countryside Flower in the Cotswolds
Gosh, I love himekaji, and I was glad that it was a lot cooler so that I could finally wear my Liz Lisa jumpsuit while we strolled through the countryside.
One Item Six Ways: Zebra Print Skirt
Animal print has strong gyaru vibes, and today I’ve styled this zebra print skirt in five different ways! Let’s see how adaptable it really is.
Clueless Inspired Outfit + Day Out in Bordeaux
As soon as I stepped out into the sunshine and onto the cobble-stone streets, surrounded by beautiful French architecture, I knew I made the right choice to wear my Clueless inspired outfit (with a gyaru twist, of course!). I’ve got to hand it to my friend Nini who actually persuaded me …
Manifesting My Dream Life 2.0
I know what you’re thinking – Lizzie, didn’t you already write this post last year? And, well, yes, I did, and it took a lot of back and forth in me deciding whether or not to publish this new post, but the truth is that those goals suited the person I …
Gyaru Outfit Diaries: Malta, Baby!
Helloooo sunny beaches, palm trees and crystal-clear waters. I’m not usually one for going on a summer holiday (I don’t cope well with mosquito bites and the blistering sun) but Malta was absolutely perfect. My friend Amy and I went in late May which was, I felt, the ideal time for …
Gyaru Outfit Diaries: A Sunny Holiday in Cornwall
Our holiday to sunny Cornwall was one of the best holidays we’ve had in recent years. It was the first time that I actually relaxed – truly, relaxed – and it was also the first time we didn’t have a checklist of a thousand tourist attractions to tick off. We just …
Sleepovers, Cat Cafes and… Manba Gyaru?!
I felt like we had stepped back in time when Chewiee and I found ourselves in our pj’s watching TV and scrolling on our phones. I can clearly remember the first time we had a sleepover back when we were both students, living in/near London, and at the prime of our …
What ‘Get Wild and Be Sexy’ Means to Me
‘Get wild and be sexy!’ is one of our most famous gyaru taglines, and originated from EGG magazine (a famous gyaru magazine which boomed in the 90s) and was also featured in this parapara video with gyaru goddesses Yumachi, Aina, and Yunkoro. It describes everything a gyaru should be – from …
Agejo in My Heart
I picked up the MA*RS set that had been sitting on my “to sell” pile for months and sighed. I’ve been thinking about selling this heart-print set for a while now but for some reason I couldn’t seem to let it go. The agejo style slowly diminished in my wardrobe ever …
Help – I Can’t Live Without Gyaru Makeup
And in that moment I felt so alive. I turned my face to check if my blusher was visible enough and of even vibrancy on both sides (it definitely was – I might as well have emptied the whole block of colour onto my face) and my eyes occasionally flickered up …
One Item Five Ways: Pink Crop Top
Isn’t this just one of the most exciting times of the year? Winter is over (although some days it doesn’t feel like it) and everyone’s looking forward to the promise of spring and sunny days. I have a huge love for this time of year so for this ‘One Item Five …
Why Did Blogging Become So Serious?
It was 8pm on a Monday evening (well, yesterday, in fact), and I was trawling through my blog archives, going back to my first year of blogging in 2011. Gosh, it was embarrassing to look at; my posts were filled with emojis, with cringey language like “lawls” instead of lol, and …
One Item Five Ways: Dark Floral MA*RS Skirt
I love MA*RS; you don’t need to scroll down far to see that I have a deep love for the agejo style, and even though I’ve written a one item five ways post on an older MA*RS skirt I couldn’t help but do one for this dark floral gem that I’ve …
My Love/Hate Relationship with Myself
Some days my relationship with myself is a good one. Sometimes I love how my eyes aren’t quite that shade of blue but neither are they green; that my legs look as if they are never-ending; and that my ability to pull the most stupid faces brings a smile to my …
