I'm back and (almost) finished with exams! :D

Hi sweeties!

Wow, one week since my last blog post... I'm really out of it. Sorry! But don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you! I've been making ideas for what to do for our half year-anniversary, and I've been busy with my math exam. I had it this Tuesday. I must admit I had this strong sensation of freedom when I walked out of the school door after five hours of non-stop math. I really surprised myself though.
I pushed myself to sit the whole time, and to do the all the tasks, even if I didn't understand them.
I feel like I did my very best, so if my grade doesn't improve... I think I might just lay down and cry.

As Gulli told you, it has finally become close-to summer up here in the cold north! Wiih ~
I'm really in summer mood now, and when I finished my exam it felt like my summer vacation just started. A bit sad to think about the fact that I have another exam coming up in June. Oral this time. If I get drawn in math this time too... Yeah, I think I might just lay down and cry.

I felt so sick and tired today that I stayed home from school. (They probably just messed around the whole day, anyway.) I try to make the best out of these re-charging days. I relaxed and tried to get rid of my headache. I had crazy PMS too, so it was probably the smartest to keep me away from people. After all, we don't want me to punch anyone ^^
While I was having so much time on my hands, I ended up re-discovering one of the bands I listened to before; Cross Gene. They've changed so much! For the better, luckily. I was also happy to see that they made their comeback in Japan, and they've started to make songs in Japanese. They have turned into a J-pop band, in fact! o.o
(Cross Gene is an Asian band with members both from South Korea, Japan and China. That's why they make their songs with many different languages. They speak good English too ^^)

Of course I'm a big K-pop fan too, but it can't compete with the thrilling feeling I get when I can actually understand some of the lyrics without any translation. It makes me relate to the music even more.
And also, let's face it: the K-pop industry have taken some wrong turns, and it bothers me to know that some of my fave bands might just be puppets for greedy label owners.

I got to sleep now, but of course I'll post a music video from the "new" Cross Gene before I leave:

Cross Gene - Shooting Star

Talk to you later! ~

BTW: Everybody please answer in our little question thingy up here, so that we know what to do for our half year anniversary! ^^ 

Fashion trend; 3D nail art ^.^

Hello everyone!

So yesterday Silje wrote a post about nail polish and she asked if I could write about the phenomena called 3D nails! This must be one of the most awesome nail decoration I know of.

What is 3D nails?

3D nails are a three dimensional nail art design, mostly created on acrylic, or fake nails, which is then applied over the persons real nails. The design is created by shaping colored acrylic and building the design that is wanted. The most common creation is flowers, where the petals and leaves stick up from the surface creating a dramatic look. The style is worn by many because they find it different and attractive, but it is also often used in mainly weddings and special occasions  They are not very functionary in every line of work, and not many can handle having this type of nails everyday. Pieces can be applied on the natural nail, but then it has to be at least on layer of nail polish first, and people find it easier to work with the designs on fake nails because it gives a lot more space and they can last longer that way, it will harm the natural nail less as well.

Here are some examples of total kawaii nail art:

Piiink~ <3

Love the colors ^.^

I guess you kind of got an idea of what it is now, but if you still want to see more just type "3D nail art kawaii". ^.^

This is one of the thing I'm really looking forward to get when I go to Japan, because they have awesome nail salons where they do the most amazing looks. Super super excited!! :D
Well, hope you enjoyed my post.

Bye bye~

Fashion trends: wigs!

Hi sweet readers! ^^

First of all you might notice some tiny changes in the blog design. We have a little koi pond beneath our header, as well as a little survey on the right side where you tell us what you want to read about! Oh, and if you click on the koi pond you can feed our cute fishies too :3
This is just me playing around with design options, so let me know if it got too distracting!

Today's post is about wigs. Wigs are greatly underestimated by most of us. You might think of the super synthetic, obviously fake wigs that we only put on during Halloween, but the times are changing!
Wigs are a great way to change your look for a day, without doing anything drastic.
I, for example, have a secret desire for bright red hair like Rihanna. But I can't make myself dye it like that, because of the damage it may cause my hair, and the fact that most of my wardrobe doesn't fit red hair at all. But if I buy a high quality red wig, however, I can wear red hair whenever I want to, with matching clothes.
In a time where you can change the color of your eyes in an instant, and show off your whole personality in one outfit, I think it's about time that wigs make their return to the fashion scene.
Luckily it's getting more and more accepted by the public, and the wigs are made in better quality.

Let's face it: To wear a wig on everyday basis sounds super weird and eccentric to many, but why? Is there any problem with it, except the fact that it's uncommon?

If you're into pop-inspired, bright colored fashion like I am, it's easy to see the advantage of changing hairstyle everyday without causing damage to the hair. If you've ever played with the thought of having bright turquoise hair, you can have it one day, without regretting it afterwards!

But it's not only because of color wigs are getting popular. You can change the style of your hair immediately, without using expensive hair extensions. They don't have to be made of human hair either, high quality synthetic wigs can look unbelievably realistic too! It's a rather cheap and easy way of getting longer, thicker or curlier hair.
The wig trend is growing steadily, and I can hopefully be a part of it too, once I get the opportunity to shop properly again ^^

This is made of synthetic fibers too, but it doesn't look fake, right?

I added this picture of a man's wig too, just to show how realistic it can look ^^

Feel like wearing light pink hair for a day? Well, why don't you do it! 

 Hope you got to understand my opinion on wigs. Of course, there are many out there that looks as fake as that green witch wig you wore to Halloween in 2nd grade, but as the trend is increasing, so is the quality. Just make sure you buy them from a qualified shop, and try them on if possible.
Once you have a fitting, realistic wig, there's a sea of fashion opportunities!

What do you think of wigs? Would you wear one outside costume events?

Talk to you later, everyone! :3

Winter fashion; knits ^.^

Good evening Jigglypuffs ^.^

It is freezing cold here, and I'm sitting snuggled in a big comfy blanket with a cup of tee, watching wipe-out  We are down to -21 degrees and clear skies here, making it extra cold, so it's really important to keep warm. My winter fashion, I think I mentioned this in another post, consists of mainly big, comfy sweaters and tights or jeans. I tend to start freezing really fast in winter, and it's really hard to find big and long sweaters in stores here. They are almost always a little too short...

This one is super adorable~ I love cute bunnies <3

Pockets, something I always need.  And the color is really cute

Such a cute detail with the ribbons on the pockets. ^.^

A cute turtleneck is something essential in a winter wardrobe.

Looks really comfy~

Nordic pattern

All of these knits are from www.yesstyle.com and it's deffinetly on my wishlist if the cold weather stays for a long time. Now I'll have to start thinking of my new spring wishlist~ So looking forward to the warm weather. :)

Hope you liked this short post^^
Bye bye~
