Internship ranting and some OOTDs

I'm falling way behind on this blog, but I really don't have time to update much as of recently. School takes all my time and pretty much kills any inspiration I might have had about blogging -_-

Anyhow in about 6 weeks I'm heading out for a 3 month long internship, I still don't know where I'm gonna end up though, I'm sure it will be interesting, and probably pretty horrible according to any person who have ever done an internship at a Japanese hotel. What I'm most worried about is that I'm gonna flip a table and loose my temper, because the way interns are treated in Japan would probably not be legal in Sweden... And since I'm white and a WOMAN (omygosh!) I've been told I'm gonna have an even tougher time. Well they've probably never run into a Swedish viking girl before. To be honest I'm not really sure if I have the right kind of personality for the hotel world (at least the Japanese one), I do NOT take lightly on rasism and sexism, and as harsh as it sounds I'd rather quit than having to bow my head while having to take crap like that.

To get myself out of some negative thinking I've been going through my beloved closet, realizing I have a lot of clothes, sadly pretty much every morning I stand infront of the darn closet thinking, "I have nothing to wear". I realized it was mostly because I have a hard time coming up with what would actually go nicely with what, seeing as my closet is always a mess no matter how hard I try to organize it... So I came up with the idea of making outfits and taking pictures! That way I can look at those pictures for inspo when I feel like I have nothing to wear.

I'm gonna try and post some outfits every other second week or so, that way I might get some posting motivation back and I get to play around with my beloved clothes and accessories <3

And I can't believe I missed Coldplay when they for once came to Tokyo ;___; They played in a ridiculously small hall and the tickets went out through a lottery, luck was not on my side. Hoping they'll come back soon to play at a big arena, if it's at festival I'm gonna drag myself half over Japan if I have to!

Well I'm off to kick som kanji butt, take care ya all~

A spring in "full bloom" fashion

Firstly, sorry I haven't updated in forever, a lot of things happened in my life at the same time, both good and bad, so lately I just haven't had time nor energy to put into the blog. But now things have calmed down and I should be able to update regularly again!

As one of the good things I can mention that I got accepted to the technical college in Tokyo that I had applied for! I'm really really happy and proud of myself for achieving that goal. It's gonna be one tough journey, but I will fight my way through it.

I know I said I would post pictures from my trip in the last post but that will have to wait just a bit more I'm afraid. Hopefully it will come up sometime.

BUT this blog is mostly and foremost about fashion and beauty, so therefore I thought I would write a bit about this years spring trends!

What is definitely most noticeable are the flower patterns that decorate everything from dresses to caps, here are some examples from CECIL McBEE's spring collection:

It's cute, but I feel like I would just have a really hard time coordinating this stuff, so I think I will stay away from this trend, if anything maybe I'll get a flower dress or something, then I don't need to coordinate that much.

Something else that is also very popular is horizontally striped shirts a'la this type:

This pattern I really like, and yes I got myself a shirt pretty much like the one above, it looks fresh, simple and is easy to fit together with other stuff in my closet^^

Speaking of simple, I've totally fallen in love with what the japanese call Onee-kei, it's very simple, mature and toned down. It kind of feels like I've found the perfect style for me. I've also found some new brands to fall in love with lately, my absolute favorite being EGOIST. Unfortunately it's not one of the cheaper brands, so that will be the kind of shopping you do when you feel you deserve something nice I guess (well it's not western brand expensive but if you're a somewhat poor student...).

Well I did one last run for the new years sale and got a few really nice things for just a few bucks.  Will probably post pictures later. If you're patient enough to wait until the very end of the sale you can get ridiculously good bargains, of course most of the best stuff will be gone but if you need like a normal shirt/a pair of jeans or off season shoes, then it's definitely worth the wait as the stores practically gives some stuff away for the price of practically nothing.

Well that was enough ramblings for this time, hope to write soon again!

Classes have ended, time for a happy post!

Whoa, finished last "final test" for the semester today. I have a pretty strong feeling I will have to retake this class though due to extreme lack of motivation -__- But at least now I have tried my best at the tests so I'll find out tomorrow. And tomorrow night we are having kind of a class gathering since some people won't come back for next semester, even though we ended up just being 5 people plus our teacher lol. To say it feels a bit weird to go out drinking with your teacher is an understatement, but I think it will be fun.
BUT, I still have one test left, the japanese test for the technical college on saturday, have no idea how that will turn out but I will do my best!

In the last post I wrote that I was gonna post some of my "recent" gets, and so I will. I just say God bless the wonderfully cheap yen.

Fell in love with this CECIL McBEE bracelet the second I saw it, since it was so cheap I hope it won't break right away ><

I don't know when was the last time I bought a more "classy"

eau de toilette (like 5 years? xD), this one is Koda Kumi's LOVE NOTE, and it smells wonderful and the fragrance actually stays on for +3hours.

Got this ring as an early christmas present from my bf, owls! <3<3

Boots from INGNIS, I know my feet will hurt like hell for the first week or so, as is the case with all hard shaped boots… But I really like how they fit great with all my outfits!

Saw this in the same shop as the owl-ring, and decided to come back there a few days later to buy it haha.

 

Got these ones from a ridiculously cheap sale, finally I own a pair of nice black pumps! (even though they look blue in the photo…)

A dress for like 70kr from Forever 21, can't wait for summer when I'll get to wear it!

And Toy Story is on TV tonight, boy will I watch it! I haven't seen it for probably 10 years or so but I love it so much. Wonder if I can choose the english language option for this one, if not it will be awesome japanese practice.

So until next time~

Accessory time!

It's friday! And so another week of school has come to an end, gonna celebrate that by making Jack and Coke drinks once my bf gets home, if he manage to get home before 10pm today… Seriously the japanese working days REALLY are too long, no wonder people work them selves to death..

Today I went on a hunt for cheap accessories, I don't buy stuff like earrings or bracelets very often so sometimes it's fun to go on a hunt. Went to Shibuya 109 'cause you can actually find nice priced accessories there. So this is what I ended up with~

The necklace and bracelet is CECIL McBEE and the earrings are just some random brand. Now since the yen is so cheap it's like shopping at H&M haha. I really love the necklace and it seems the blue one was the last on in the shop so I was lucky!

Then I came across this coat, and I just totally fell in love, it's not often it happens but this time I just couldn't stop myself from buying it even though I don't really need another jacket, or maybe I do since I seem to have some sort of allergy to my autumn one :/ The mirror is really dusty, sorry ><

The only thing that is a little bit irritating is that there is nothing holding the belt in place, so when you put it on you have to manage to keep the coat closed (there's no buttons either) while you put on and tie the belt, it will take some practice^^; The brand is DaTuRa, it's my first time buying anything from them since their clothes are a bit over my budget. This time the coat was on time sale though so this was probably a one time purchase haha.

And on sunday it's first Advent, which means I'm gonna christmas decorate at home! Finally ^___^

I know my bf doesn't really care for christmas stuff since it's not a big deal in japanese families but at least I'm enjoying it to the fullest. And we're gonna buy a chocolate calendar haha.

Until next time, take care!
