Schwarzkopf Freshlight Launch + Lolita Meet

when i first heard of the schwarzkopf event inviting lolitas to grace their freshlight launch in november, i was really hoping to attend since i missed MLC halloween lolita gathering. of course, i have heard of both schwarzkopf and freshlight separately, but those weren't my main goal. XD

as the event was held in sungei wang plaza concourse area, there was a changing room provided behind the stage but i only used it to put on my makeup. as i met up with the lolita pack (vinds, iris, azu, emma, sally, stella, and mintos), we were ushered to the media mingle area. i saw balloons everywhere and loads of sweet confectionery on the refreshment table. aside from the cordial juice and karaage chicken, everything was made for the sweet tooth... cakes, cupcakes, macarons, cookies, tarts, pastries, marshmallow and even pocky!

my makeup for the day~

Ray Malaysia [Be in the Mag] Mad Over Spots

today i joined my first Facebook contest organised by Ray Malaysia, which is published by Cite in English translation! oh, what a dream come true for me to find an Asian fashion magazine published in English version! Cite also publish Malaysia version of Mina magazine (which i love to read for fashion, too) but it is in Chinese edition, so i could only stare at the photos and figure out tutorials by imagination.

this month, Ray Malaysia is hosting another model search for their next issue, and to participate, you only need to get a photograph of yourself polka dotted (pic below: polka dotted salopette skirt, polka dotted border socks, polka dotted lace on cutsew top; all Bodyline except shoes and handmade accessories) and ONE of the winner's prize is a magazine-worthy makeover! be sure to log on to Ray Malaysia Facebook page, Like them, and Like my photo too! "please and thank you!" - Kim Possible.

a very special thanks to Herman Photography for the photograph - this is an unedited photo of the subject and resized smaller.

remember to vote for me here!

Beautiful BodyLine~

a few months back, BodyLine's fellow faithful followers must have noticed a steady stream of new prints churning out on the Rakuten site before being updated to the international site. but i know, from long ago (at least a year ago when the infamous Carousel JSK was sold out) BodyLine is most likely able to jump on the lolita trend bandwagon which more members of the lolita community can accept as... Beautiful.

this spring and summer, BodyLine has find their way into my heart again, with more prints original then ever! sure, occasionally they have some 'similarity' to upmarket brand prints and designs such as Angelic Pretty, but i doubt you wouldn't mind much if you weren't a brand whore. just wear what you wish and love!

squirrels and birthday cake? i do wonder how do you name this print~ AND did you notice the wig? ♥

リボン・カチューシャ

ね～しってる？さいきんまいにちロリータをついています。ゆめみたいで も、げんじつで す。うれしいだよ！

昨日私はリボンカチューシャを作りました。あとで、Fuuvi Biscuit Camera と写真をとりました。

かわいいでしょう？

リボンはピンクで す。しろいパールビーズもあります。

参考として、このAngelic Pretty カチューシャを使用。

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.

left: Bodyline has actually removed the two-tone wig from the site soon after its release.

Bodyline and me~

it is that time again - time for shopping! i needed a few items to complete my costumes for Comic Fiesta 2010, so i thought, where else better to get them than Bodyline? XD

here are the contents of the DHL box from Bodyline. they were all in Japan just 48 hours ago! these are orders from the November Bodyline GO (group order).

caution: camwhoring ahead!

yet another bad day..

when is it ever gonna get better? *cries*

this morning i was all dressed and ready to go for that singular class of the day (which was due to follow with an afternoon session in Times Square with friends) BUT the car had to break down before i could drive it past the first traffic light from home. just like that. it screeched loudly. it stopped. and it smells like burnt rubber (i swear i can still smell some of it now). i managed to drive the car back home slowly and that was the end of the day. (dude, i am NOT going to drive a screeching car 30km into the city!) so i skipped two classes this week already (yesterday and today). *cries more*

sucky days are just gonna get suckier. but they say third time is the charm, so perhaps a brighter day lay ahead? well, it better be! i have an all important interview coming up (way to go, i just jinxed it). such a horrible, terrible, incorrigible start to the week. at least i got to browse more Bodyline stuff.

sad day...

there are days when you have ups, and there are days that get you down. what a fluctuation compared to my recent post here. perhaps you might just leave this page and return another day when you don't think yours truly is in PMS mode.

even though there are such unforgiving days, you must make some use of it. after all, don't they say, if you get lemons, make lemonade! lemons are sour citrus fruits, but you can still sprinkle some sugar and ice in the lemon juice and make delicious lemonade.

it's sem break! day 18

i have returned to browsing archived pages from Bodyline once again. yes, that means i was spending too much time online than i should be. here are some old tote bags which were available on Bodyline site in the past:

this bloody Alice print tote must be around 2 years old.

it's sem break! day 17

lazy day!

there was not much done today, but tomorrow i will be helping mummy to make snowskin mooncakes for this week's mid-autumn festival. snowskin mooncakes are no-bake mooncakes which are simply chilled after removed from the mooncake mould. not only they are delicious, you can save a lot with home-made ones because confectioneries sell them quite expensive due to high demand.

later at night, i was blog hopping. i was reading several lolita blogs at one time including blogs by Caro-chan and Victoria Suzanne. suddenly, one of the articles made me realise something about Bodyline fabric/print. for the past couple months, i have been browsing many, many local fabric blogshops. one of the print from Bodyline in 2008 matched a print i found sold in the blogshops!

the Bodyline JSK+headdress and tote bag print in white.

it's sem break! day 4

i turned the clock backwards! nah, i just changed the time by two hours back for this post because i fell asleep after dinner and then woke up at 1am because i remembered to blog first. haha~ so today's post will be in reverse chronological order (so i can start with juicy stuff first, instead of the boring morning).

finally, here are the carousel print and removable bow!

before dinner, i was out to berjaya times square to pick up my Carousel JSK from my courier. STOP YOUR THOUGHTS THERE. no, i absolutely, definitely, 100%ly, do not buy Bodyline stuff from ISOCKS. (when i first went to ISOCKS, the only item that i fell in love with was a Bodyline bunny maid set RM350 or so, but if i order direct from Bodyline it will be just over RM100.) it was just a coincidence i was there to collect my stuff in the evening. i did not even get a chance to walk into their shops when i left BTS.

Bodyline JSK wishlist!

Bodyline is being naughty, and i love so many of the new JSK prints. i cannot help but to save up for some of the dresses i want to wear. what are they? well, here are some on my wishlist:

 merry-go-round JSK

(this JSK has been around for a few months, but they sold out too quickly!)

My Top 5 Treat List

Number 5 -

my first Bodyline Japan purchases!

my first Bodyline purchase was also my first purchase using Paypal~ it was a sort of celebratory reward for my first Nuffnang cheque and my first domain too!

minori and i shared the first order that i made at Bodyline in August, and DHL was so efficient that they actually arrived one day before the scheduled time! however, that caused me to miss the first shipment because it was not expected so soon.
