two tone: Bodyline wigs (and some shoes) replica

this is part two; a continuation from my first contemplation on two-tone hairstyle:
  1. vertical or horizontal two-tone? definitely vertical. horizontal is everyone's pick currently (trending).
  2. lighter colour on the left/right or top/bottom? lighter colour on my right half.
  3. which combinations: black/blonde, brown/blonde, pink/blonde, brown/light brown? decidedly brown/brown or brown/blonde depending on how long the chemical stays on my hair.
one major event that pushed me to make the decisions above is the idea of having to buy two boxes or four boxes of dye (since Guardian is having a "Buy 1 Free 1" promotion on Beauteen products). by my calculations, i would have to get three boxes for most of the colour combinations. therefore, i decided to get two boxes of bleach, both would be different tones of blonde bleach.

after concluding about the three issues above, i realised i might still have one more hurdle: parents. but oh well, i will just have to walk in the saloon later this week and get it done on my own, then see their reaction. how bad could it be? the solution is simply to dye my hair back to black.

now, Bodyline seems to have jumped on the hype of two-tone wigs too. what most people have noticed is the wig which is a replica of a Cyperus wig in brown with a quarter of dark brown.

Fuuvi Biscuit Camera

after losing my mobile phone in January due to an unfortunate event, i vowed to get a new one - at first. after calculating the costs and expenditures in, i realised i could only make do with the most basic. but that does not mean i have to feel sorry for myself.

i am currently using an old phone from mizuiro. as much as i hate this brand of phones because the interface is totally whack, at least it does not lag like most of my girly friends who uses the cute pink clamshell types and the likes. it is so basic, the most advanced thing about it is the Bluetooth feature. no camera, no USB/audio jack; just a plain colour phone.


you probably noticed my failure to keep my blog updated during the past couple months after i lost my phone. i really needed a camera, and i wanted the cute Fuuvi Biscuit Camera i found on Chocomint last year - but it was sold out then. thank goodness for HibikiTokai's facebook album where he linked theclickshop, leading me to find that they do sell Fuuvi Biscuit Camera - of course, i bought one!

two-tone: the hairstyle or the chance?

inspiration since ever: Violet le Beaux.

inspiration one: Guardian pharmacy having "Buy 1 Free 1" sale promotion for Beauteen hair dyes. (at first, i just wanted to grab a couple to re-colour my shoulder-length hair.)

inspiration two: nikki minaj's hair in the music video entitled "knock-out" with lil wayne. (it got me thinking about using brighter colours.)


inspiration three: then i wanted to create something like the wigs from MintyMix~ (two-tone FTW!)


right now, i am contemplating these questions:
