Beat the heat with something sweet!

Ahh, Japan is frying itself on the surface of the sun and what do I do? I rade second hand shops and clearance sales for A/W clothing! Even though I'm into fashion I can't really say I give a penny for wether or not I'm wearing this years or that years collection, so If I really like a garment and it's dirt cheap because it's no longer "trending", well good for me! (and my wallet).

Soo, these are my recent gets

First up two second hand coats by EMODA

                         

　　　　　　　

I really wanted to buy these boots from LIP SERVICE last winter, but I never got around to and they sold out. Then a few days ago I just happened to stumble upon a random site that still sels them for a great clearance price :D Also when I got the boots I found the shop had packed a little present for free, a cute flowery make up box^^

During the weekend I just aimlessly wandered around the neighborhood and came across a 100円 shop where I found these adorable chopsticks, OWLS <3 

Last but not least, I had run out of most of my The BODY SHOP products so yesterday I went on a quest to get new ones and came across this heavenly smelling raspberry body lotion.

Good things comes to those who wait, and apparently I like waiting (for cheap stuff lol).

Language school, sayonara

So yesterday I finally graduated from my japanese language school after 2 years of studying. Can't believe it's been 2 years already! Especially the first year went really fast, probably because it was easy and a lot of fun, guess life in general was easier and more carefree that first year. Second year was tough, really tuff, but it had it's moments as well. I've met so many nice people along the way, some who are remaining in Japan and some who've gone back home. I think that has been the toughest thing about being an exchange student, you make really good friends, only to be separated shortly after. All in all I most certainly do not regret coming to Tokyo and spending these 2 years here.

Since it's 3 weeks left until the entrance ceremony of my college I'm taking the opportunity to spend 2 weeks in Sweden, visiting friends and just trying to relax as much as I can, charge my batteries so to say. I would've loved for my bf to come to Sweden with me, but as he's a typical japanese salary man taking some days of was of course impossible. Hopefully we can go somewhere together during golden week, once again it's not a whole week off, but at least we'll get 4 days in a row.

Also I've packed away my winter clothes as it seems the weather in Tokyo is now staying stable above +12C, nowadays it's usually around +15, lovely~

Right now I'm in the middle of packing for my trip to Sweden, seems it's gonna be cold so I guess I'll have to pack a mix of clothes. Also my roomy have gotten herself some company in the form of a cat (it used to live with her mom before) so if kitty is not too scared of me I'll have a little snuggle buddy^^ Starting to get a bit hyped up now!

Well I'll probably be writing again once I get back to Tokyo, bye for now~

A dolled up blog!

New design on the blog~ Yes, I finally managed to make it look more appealing, and no I have not made the design, I found the blog of a very talented person who used to make these, sadly she has quit now  http://itkupilli-cutencool.blogspot.jp

But anyhow, I've been thinking for a long time about what direction this blog should take. There's really not that much going on around me and several times I've been thinking if I should start write more about fashion and styling instead, kind of like an inspirational blog. And yes, I've decided to go with the latter. Of course I'll write about other stuff as well but I feel I need to have a theme for this blog if I'm gonna be motivated to write in it. I would like to be able to update it every one or two weeks, but we'll see.

Right now I'm sitting around waiting for an important letter to be delivered since I of course missed the delivery yesterday -__- I hate having to wait for these things since I can't go anywhere. But once I get that letter I can finally send in all papers to the technical college! Like, FINALLY, all this paperwork have been stressing me out so much, and I still can't relax since I don't know if I can get study support for this school, which means if I can't get that I won't have the proper aid to enter this school, and it's totally up to a special study council in my country to approve this school, scary…

Also I went to Sea Paradise in Hakkejima this past saturday, it was so much fun! I went there with my bf and a friend of ours so the company was great, it was the first time in at least 4 years that I rode a roller coaster, and it was the biggest one I had tried yet, think I felt like I was gonna die at least 3 times during that ride haha. I don't really like roller coasters so I don't know why I always end up riding them… Anyhow I'm gonna post pics later!

I don't know why against my better knowing I always end up buying this cheap crappy make up, just because it's CHEAP. So Last night I ordered this mascara from Rakuten, Lancome Doll Eyes.

I've heard good things about it so I hope I will like it! Also gonna get myself a new eye liner since my current one stays on for about 30min...

And yay finally the letter arrived ^___^ Time to get down to business with paper work!

Take care!

A new start

So here it is, my first post in my new blog, 50 shades of Tokyo.
I wasn't really sure wether or not I should start a new one, but I've had so little interest to write in my old one so maybe a new start would get me back on track, I love writing after all. I also thought it would be fitting since my old one pretty much covered my life in Sweden, so now this one will be for my new one in Tokyo!

I'm also gonna post pictures here, something I didn't do in the old one, and instead of just posting about major events going on I think I'll start writing about just anything that catches my eye/mind at the time.

But for those who haven't read my old blog;

My name's Therese, though most people just call me Tess. I'm from Sweden but now I live and study in Tokyo since a year back, and I'll be here for at least one more, if I'll stay after that is up to fate atm. I love fashion and styling, so I'll try to enter a technical collage after my language school finnish, that is, if my grades are good enough. I also love music and tries to go to concerts as often as possible.
I also have an adorable boyfriend with whom I try to spend as much time as I can, still looking forward to the day we can move in together so there's is no need to count the days until every weekend, just that casual day to day life. But those are all things for the future, but I'm expecting it's gonna be a fun ride to get there eventually. Right now I fight the endless battles of countless grammar and kanji tests and home work, like any other language school student I know.
Well, guess that's all for now.

Hope this will be an enjoyable ride!

PS I'm also thinking about fixing my layout, but that will be after exams when I have time to live again ^^;
