Hmm.. this layout is abit dark.
I should fill it with plently of pictures then. ;)
I've not posted in a while and I've decided to start posting about make-up.
I know make-up review are everywhere, but I feel there needs to be more detail.
Sometimes they can be very biased?
And as I'm chinese sometimes it's hard to relate to someone with caucasian skin.
Plus I feel sometimes, they are abit general about where they purchase from?

I'm really interested in korean and japanese make-up, because they are probably abit more suited to my yellow-toned skin type.
So, my first review shall be about Missha Perfect Cover BB cream...
but I need to do some work for fashion first. ><
I've ordered a few Etude House items from ebay and will post reviews on them as well.

Now, about graphics - I'm probably going to make a batch of icons and banners during christmas break; when I sort out my photoshop and I have time.
I still haven't sorted out my korean cindrella com on here.
Which is basically about Gmarket and korean fashion... but maybe I'll extend this to make-up too?
There isn't a korean make-up review com on here. There should be.
I would make one but I'm abit lazy =___=;;

Stupid journal.
i just wrote something but while saving it tried to be funny and changed.
I'm not normally this grumpy with Livejounral,
but I accidentally change my own journal layout instead of one of my comms.
I spent ages on it as well =____=

Oh well, at least I've changed it to one I like better.

A change for the new season, that old one had been up too long.
I'm really happy with it.
I always muddle these layouts up, I think I've learnt more about them now.
Because I'd get confused why they would go wrong.

Header credit - Me ^^

I think it's time to change the header and the background.
To suit the weather, this change ia way... overdue.
Change is good. ^^

EDIT: Change may not be so good for me.
Just check back later things may be less hectic :)

I have no idea how I fixed this. Maybe I am a genius?
Going to add a header...looking for a image.

I have just started making more icons.
I dunno why, I've got time to kill and it seems time to revive my photoshop.
But I've noticed there arent many communities deciated to asian fashion icons.
Perhaps I should make one? I'm not sure since the last one I made is a epic fail.
I just couldn't put a full commitment I guess.
But I feel I could if I could take on a couple of mods.

So if anyone is interested in an asian fashion graphics com (korean, chinese and japanese)then let me know.
For any potential mods aswell, just send me some examples.

I think I might just start one anyway, after writing about it, I kinda just wanna do it.
I need to think of a name ...

EDIT: The new com is called [info]koreancindrella (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
I got the name from a korean brand that I liked from Gmarket, called Cinderella.
~ Hence Koreancinderella. And it's every girls dream to be a princess, right?

I haven posted icons in AGES. And while i was delete stuff off my computer,
I noticed an imgae i had to creat something out of.
And these are the result. I am abit rusty since I've not done this in so long.
And especially since i deleted all my PSD's. >o<
But hopefully I'm ok. My favourite is the coffee one, well it is my poison of choice.
But I won't be posting icons as I used to, by that I mean regularly.
Just when inspiration strikes, or whenever I trawl through korean fashion sites for clothes 0__0

Mixed icons: 18
Kate Lanphear, Korean fashion and stocks






Here it shines in all it's glory )

Ok, so I've not updated or made anything in awhile.
But with college don't expect anything for a while.
So putting those pictures of my hoard on hold..
Everything is kinda up in the air right now. Lessons and work are confusing.

But I strangely still have time to trawl through vintage clothing sites and fashion blogs.
I know, I should be more driven.

But withing certain things happening and me having to turn down a near perfect job,
I bought a boutique sale surpise for myself.
It's a dark grey with gold polka dotted sleeveless dress, with little frills at the top.
And goes in at the waist, perfect length for my 5ft 5 frame.
It came with a black shiny plastic heart in the middle of the frill which cheapened it.
But saying that, the word frill doesnt make it sound great.

When I think frill, I think sometimes old or chiffony blouses.adorning frill down the middle and sometimes on the bottom of sleeves.
Which makes me think frumpy. Or thinking the 'frilled item' is office worthy, if you know what I mean?

Well, I will put a picture up soon, because it's only one picture.
I may wearing at the same time, I plan to wear it next time I go out! ^^

This entry wasn't supposed this long >o<

I've become a loner on my journal for quite awhile now.
So now it's time to revivie myself?

I started college yesterday and it was a harrowing experience.
Confusing in all the senses of the word.
Anyway, long story short, I didn't do any favours for myself, especially in my timetable.
Oh well, it worries me tht I have to sort these things out myself.
Perhaps a sense of adulthood? I guess I'm scared of being independent.
I'll get over it. >o<

And to help me get over it, calls for a shopping trip?
I have just been overloading my house in clothes.
I may put pictures up for visual representations to y'all >___~
I'm currently in love with anything modern and white & harleyquined.
I got a bag from a Topshop in a small town centre and it was a £1.
Bargain hunter me, yes.
They don't have picture on the website and till I can be bothered to take one here the pattern.
the bag is basically just a huge tote bag~


I'm one of those people, that only buys things that will last a while and I can wear alot.
But this was only a pound. [reminder: the bag is not this bag, just the pattern is the same]

EBAY NEWS!

I won in an auction for a VINTAGE RALPH LAUREN BLAZER.
A perfect addition to my waredrobe, should arrive next week? For only £12 I think.
I've forgotton the price but it's cheap. Especially for Ralph Lauren ~ the blazer is supposed to be worth $200




I plan to post pictures of my recently shopping hoard later.
Plus some japanese make up picture. For those of you asians that need help!
And those of you who are too lazy to download the whole magazines.
NEXT POST PROMISE!

I offically got my GCSE results today! Yay.
I think I did pretty well.

1-A* English Lang
3-A Art, Eng Lit, Science A [Who'd thought? Me? Geek?]
3-B Textiles, Science B, Maths
2-C Business
1-F PSHE/citizenship

The two C's are from a dual award business course, which was cocked up by my totally lack of having a business teacher. Yes, people I passed my business GCSE without a proper teacher.
I did get a B on my business exam.

OH- and the F? Well, that's because of the whole lack of me being there.
There was whole lack of trams and I was left 30 mins late of my exam.
So, I phoned and told them, that transposrt cocked up my exam.
Otherwise, with enough nonscense I could've got a A*.
Only slightly gutting. >o<
 
Let me know what you got?

Back  

I'm back! From merry old London. And slightly richer and slightly happier.
I'm glad I came back though, I missed my home city.
It's only 4 hours away anyway ^^
My family gave me lots of presents, vintage jewelery ^^
The statement 'grandma's jewelery box' couldn't be more true.
I went to the famous camden market but didn't explore it properly, because a few makert owners kept asking what ethinicy I was.
"Japanese? Vietamese? Korean? Thai?" OMG why not pick the obivous? @___@ Chinese man
But I found a great vintage shop that I'd heard about called Rokit ~[I dunno if they have a website, if so I'll find it]
And they had lots of really nice stuff.
I fought London would be harder to get around, but so untrue.
All you need is a bit of common sense. ^^
We didn't go to Portobello market, because we forgot what underground stop to get off at.
So we strolled around oxford street, Selfridges and then to Leicester square for some food.
We went to Pizza Express and the diners were so noisy!
Who knew posh cosmopolitons could be so rowdy ~[perhaps slightly drunk though]
But the rest of the people didn't seem to mind. The food was niceeee.

I'm going shopping in a mintue to, I guess welcome myself back home.
Just thought I should post because my journal was looking alittle lonely ^^

OH YEA, HAS ANYONE SEEN LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL? I WANNA *o*

Yess! I've seen the film and it's unlike anything Heath Ledger had done. Perhaps, bought a different diamention to the joker character.

Do you think Heath Ledger deserves the Oscar for his role in the Dark Knight?

Inspired by my upcoming trip to london, I've made some headers or whatever to share.
For those of you who just like london or just like the pictures. >o<





IN OTHER NEWS...


As I have been reading japanese magazines ~Jelly, Pinky and Vanilla girl.
I've become slightly inspired ^^, more by the make up.
And I'm going to trying, it's just to damn perfect.
When I do, I MAY take a picture, so you can all laugh and point.
Or praise if I do it well, what I don't understand thought is..
How do it look normal on them and it wouldn't to others? well, me mostly >o<
I've been reading them for more inspriration and make advise more than anything.^^
I LOVE THIS! PRETTY SHIRT! ♥


P.S. I downloaded the magazine scans from ViViDaisuki 
And I might post the eye make up part of the magazines for people that want it ^^

With the advise of [info]tiamato_kun , I'm considering making my journal friends only.
And it'll probably happen in a few days or after I post graphics.
Well a few days after I've posted graphics, not decided fully yet ~__~

Anyways... today is just an ordinary lazy sunday in merry old England.
And as I am an upcoming fashion textiles student, I feel it my duty to fufil the stereotype?
Anyway, I've been allover the place looking for a pair of all white shoe boots.
Because I saw a girl wearing a pair and HAD to have a pair too.
I used to hate these kind of shoes but worn in the right way I guess aren't bad.
I sound like such a slave. =____=
I've looked everywhere to no avail but I have found 2 pairs that are similar I guess.

First is from Ebay, I searched 'white shoe boots' and waded through all the not so good stuff and found.. 
The only real fault I could find in these were the peep toe part of the shoe. 
But not bad for a BUY NOW price of £19.99


Second pair I found was on a site I'd never expect them to be. Debenhams 
~ I dunno if other countries have debenhams 
At quite a reasonalable price of £25.00, but has brogue-y details that I didn't want on it.
Had to resize the picture but was too lazy to resize via photoshop.
I quite like this pair but I think I might have to go for the Ebay pair. I dunno, verdict anyone?

What do you think?

As the title implies, I've had some dream confusing last night.
In the eariler part of my dream, I dreamt that I got alot of harassing racist comments on LJ.
And decided to 'friend only' my journal.
I can't you anymore of my dream, because I have yet to find out what this means.
Social and maybe pre-adult crisis? Perhaps.
I hate trying to work this kinda stuff out. Anyway back on subject.
And I've been thinking maybe I should 'friend only' my journal, make it more personal perhaps.
But what I liked most about my journal is that anyone can view.

In other news, I will be going down to merry old LONDON. On the 7th Aug.
Only for a weekend mind~ family to visit and of course shopping to be done.
Apart from all things graphics based, to my friends I am a notorious fashion fiend.
Not in the way that I'm a slave to it, just that I shop. Any chance I get.
In fact I am at this moment, online shopping.
And this upcoming trip has made me realise i should try and do more fashion related stuffs,
on this blog. But maybe I'm just procrastinating to myself.

I just this is quite a full on blog, as I rarely do this.
I'm mainly just graphic-ing. Not a word I know but seems fitting. no?

p.s. I was going to post to pictures and stuffs but that will have to wait as the computer is playing up an awful lot.

I was just making some stocks and just came up with a tutorial.
As you're probably guesssing, it's a stock tutorial.
This uses selective colouring, that's why it's non translatable.
Hope you like this tutorial and hope it helps.
Please credit me and comment >o<



so cute! )
