Leave me a comment if you want to add me.
(I don't get emailupdates so I will never know if you added me when you don't comment)
I do want people who like reading this journal, and don't want people who want to fill up their f-lists.
It would be nice if we have something in common, or else you might get bored.



Almost everything is written in English,
maybe some random posts in dutch.
depends on my mood.

Ok I've been wanting to post this up for a while, but kept waiting for the pictures to arrive. But since they haven't, I'll just continue to post and maybe edit when I receive the pictures.

Either way first things first:

Deshima sounds
So on the 9th I went to Deshima Sounds, this party where my circle usually goes to. It's a party japanese clubbing styled and this time the theme was  'The beast is coming; get ready for the battle' so I decided to go military theme, since that's the easiest hahaha.
Actually I changed my outfit a bit from military to something more inspired by a General. Whatevs, it's still the same theme haaha

First I went to Chizuka's place, but I was running late since a) I went clubbing to another party the night before, and B) some road was closed down so we had to drive a whole different way and got lost and stuff.
Since I already dressed up at home, I only needed to do my hair and make at her place.
Hair was a disaster, no matter how many times I've teased it... it wouldn't stay up! For the makeup, I went with something simple due the lack of time. The lashes I was supposed to put on irritated my eyes, but luckily I found my favorite lashes in my purse. The bad thing is that this was the last time that I could where those, since I've lost them after this day :(

Then we headed to The Hague, where the party was located. First we meet up at the burger king with the rest, and then we headed to the location. And then the party started.. In my honest opinion; The music... isn't my thing. (Especially the hard jumpy stuff) Just saying. But the atmosphere was great and the people were nice and stuff. This was the first party where no creep tried to hit on me by saying vulgar stuff, which is awesome!!
Nonetheless I had fun! I did dance and did laugh and did have fun with the nice people. And yeah had a great time hanging out with friends!

Shebooya meeting in Rotterdam

and yesterday I went to another Shebooya meeting. In Rotterdam, AGAIN. Lol, we always go there since the beginning. Basicly bcoz of the purikura machine. So meeting in Rotterdam + purikura + la place is basicly tradition hahaha.
Ofcourse I was late. As usual, that was bcoz I've forgotten my debit card which ofcourse sucked. So I rode back home to look for it and finally found it in the pocket of my jeans, which was already placed in the laundry basket >_<
Finally rode my bicycle back to the station and rushed into the next train. But when I arrived in Rotterdam they were still waiting for me :D Soo nice! They already knew that I was running late as usual + they had to wait for another forummember who's train got delayed.
After that we went to the purikura booth, but the sucky thing was that now they only allow 5 people inside the booth. Which sucked bcoz we were with 7 girls and 5 guys. (we already decided to split the guys and girls per purikura session)
When we were done with the purikura we went to the La place to get something to eat.. After that we went shopping. I ended up buying furry earmuffs bcoz they were cheap and it was cold outside LOL
For dinner I had a 'dream burger' but wasn't really a fan of it (while the others were). I'm just not much of a hamburger fan I guess..

But it was fun. It's probably the first meeting (from shebooya, not the mega meetings included) where we had this much guys joining (they even made up their own name on the spot; "Hebooya" LOL), took this much pictures and had lots of fun!

Great meeting was great.. It's almost a year since I've joined this circle and I don't regret one tiny bit of it.
I can't wait what the future holds for us!

So this entry is an coordination rating by myself.
It's my opinion about a coordination, so you may disagree and whatnot.
I found this next coordination at http://fuckyeahbgyaru.tumblr.com
check that tumblr out for more b-gal coordi's..

soo let's start my brabbling:

I'm not a big fan of this coordination. As you can see I divided it in 2 and rated those.
The top:  Absolutely love it!!
The jacket is amazing and since it only has 1 button attached it's kind of "floating" which I definitly like!
Also the leopard print is definitly a win for me!
With the accessories, I like the fact that it's not a lot of accessories. With most coordi's they use a lot which makes it kind of distracting.
Her hair is simple, yet nice.. Not hating it!
What I would change would be the top underneath the jacket.. I'd rather have a top that covers, personally..
But even if you want to show your belly, I'd use a top that's a bit smaller.. It's now in between, and I'm not really feeling it.

The bottom:  Sorry.. but just no. I'm not feeling it..
First off I would personally get rid of the legging, I'm not much of a legging fan in general.
If the legging has to stay then I wouldn't use that belt. There's just so much wrong about that belt. Doesn't fit the legging at all!
And it also looks a bit like one of those big necklaces to me.
Then next up is the heels; I'm not really feeling those stripperheels either. For some outfits they could work, but not for this one. It's because there's so much gold and brown tints coming off the outfit, but not coming back in the shoes.

So how I would change this??
 
First off I'd change the leggings for either shorts/skirt or skinny jeans.
For accessory I'd use a leather belt with a nice belt buckle. This could be something like a gold crown or anything.
I would attach a golden chain on the leather belt just to spice things up a bit.

These things can be bought everywhere. I got mine from Primark for 50 cents (sale though) and it was actually a necklace but I use it as a chain on my belt.. Even though it was a sale those things won't go up more than €2,00

For the shoes, I'm still uncertain.
There are these options I've had in mind:
(I've randomly googled images, so they're not exactly perfect)

Brown gladiator heels:

 Because of the use of brown tints and leopard print in the outfit, I would let this come back in the heels.
I personally love gladiators (at least with heels, flats can be mehh) so that's why I chose for gladiators.
but I also think this will fit in the style..

Boots with heels:

Only use these when combining with shorts/skirt!!
I think they will not look thát good with skinny jeans, or it will change the look into more rokku.
This example, I'm not really feeling it because it's so shiny, so I would look for boots that aren't so shiny.
I'm not sure if overknee boots would also fit, I'd have to see that when combining the coordination.

Sneakers:

Lol I actually own these reebok's and use these most of the time whenever I'm combining with gold.
It also has leopard print only in another color..
Be careful: Combining an outfit with sneakers can be risky! It can take away the femininity of your outfit.
I have this issue most of the time, since I love wearing sneakers. But it doesn't look that feminine on some outfits.
Make sure you bring the femininity back in another way or else it won't be bgyaru, it would be just casual hiphop style.
Sneakers are possible, but just be carefull since they are risky.


So this was my random coordination brabbling for today..
My question to you guys is: What would you use to change this outfit?
Do you agree or disagree with my points. Did you already love the outfit before I rated it?
Is there something else you want to point out?
Please discuss!


Also a new outfitpost from myself will be coming up soon..
I'm going to try a different style, that I did like quiet some time..
If I'm going to the meeting at august 18th (still not sure) I might try out that look.
But ah well it's still a secret for now, but I'm just saying that it's coming up!
You will hear more from me soon!

Greetings~
