Hello Helloo~!

So for me, my first University year is drawing to a close... There is so much going on recently as im wanting to make the most of my time here in the city of Oxford before i head back to my tiny little town.

First things first, as i mentioned in my last post, i had my end of year prom! It was such a beautiful night, the Uni was decorated so much it was hardly recognisable, I danced until my feet hurt, and basically just had a wonderful time with my awesome friends! ♥

Here is how i looked (Make up wise!)



And here is a close up of my eye make up, which i will do a tutorial on soon!


I wanted to go a bit more dramatic so my dark eyes would stand out against my white dress!
Unfortunately, i dont have a good photo of me in my dress, but it was a one shoulder dress with 3D flower detail on the shoulder, and ruched on the body. I love dresses! ♥





I recently purchased a pair of circle lenses from Candylens and i've got to say im so impressed with them!! Not only do they look beautiful when wearing them, they make such a difference to how my eyes look and they are so comfortable!!
These are the Geo Super Nudy Blue.

Heres how they look:



And they even give you a cute little case! So adorable!~



Heres how they look when wearing them ^_^


What i like about these lenses as well is that it doesnt show your natural eye colour at all, sometimes with lenses, especially a pair i've worn before, is that the hole in the middle is very big and it shows some of your natural eye colour through, these however are very good in that respect!
I love how BIG they make my eyes look! Wahh~ Im in love with these lenses!! ♥





Last weekend, i spent at a friends house in London. We planned to go to the Anime Expo that was on that weekend, as i'd never been to one before, i was so up for going and seeing what an Anime Expo is all about! ^_^ All i knew was that people cosplay and dress up as their favourite Anime charactes, but thats all i knew! I really didnt know what to expect! So as well as having an amazingly fun and girly sleepover for the weekend, on Saturday 28th, we caught the tube to Custom House and spend most of the day at the 'ExCel London' where the Expo was held.

I gotta say, this place was HUGE!! And it was mesmerising seeing sooo many people there for starters, there were thousands!! But i was overwhelmed by how many people were actually cosplaying! O.o It was such a shock to know that so many people in England are part of the 'Anime subculture'! Its so great! And im so glad so many people know about it and love it so much! =)

I took a few pictures of some of the cute stalls selling amazingly cute things!! So much Japanese merchandise! And it was great to see a lot of stalls selling cute handmade products such as plushies and jewellery etc.



Look how cute all these little Japanese plushies look! *^ ^*



Soo much Hello Kitty!! I couldnt help but scream a little when i saw this stall! XD



Cute handmade jewellery! ^_^

I also couldn't resist taking photos with some cosplayers! These girls looked soooo adorable! And their costumes were so beautiful! *_* (I've blanked out their faces for privacy reasons...)

This girl was gressed up at Chii From Chobits!




So if you are curious about an anime convention, you should definitely go and visit one if you have the chance! Although im not the biggest fan of Anime, it was such a great way to spend a day out, and such an amazing experience!

I couldnt go and not buy some souvenirs, so here is what i bought!




Shinee and SuJu poster, YEY!! ♥
I was pretty happy with my purchases! It was a great place to buy things that you cant buy in the UK!





I dont know how many of you who live in the UK watch 'Britains Got Talent', I do =P its an amazing reality TV show, infact its the only thing i watch on TV! But my boyfriend treated me to go and see 'Out Of The Blue' at the Theatre! I gotta say, this group are amazing!! Their show bought me to tears about 3 times with their beautiful singing!! T-T They are such a talented group of Oxford students, im so happy i went to see them! I think they are in the Semi Final at the moment!! I really wish them the best! *Cheers for them!*






One more thing, i have added my favourite clothes shopping sites on the right side of my blog for those who are looking for some awesome online stores to shop from, i definitely recommend those! ^_^ -->

I'll be travelling home this weekend, so i will try to update when im back, i've moved house since i was last home at Christmas, and i havent seen it yet so i'll be excited to see it!

I hope everyone is well! And i hope you've enjoyed reading my updates!
Love you guys so much~! ♥

New Hair Cut, Fashon Magazine Scans

こんにちはみなさん！
Hey Everyone!


Its been a while! I hope you have all been well! ^ ^

I think its time for a little update and chat about random things!

Firstly though, BIG shocker! (Not really =P) I've had my hair cut, yet again! Well, actually i've just sorta had it reshaped in to the style i had before, except i changed my fringe this time =) I wanted to get my hair cut for so long!! All my layers had grown out and it was getting flat and boring, all i could really do was curl it, and i've been curling my hair all winter! So it had to change!

Here is how my hair looked before:



And heres how it looks now!! Im so happy with this style!



Since a young age, i've always had a phobia of hairdressers because i had a bad experience with one before.. Years ago when i was quite young, i had shoulder length hair, and my parents took me to the hairdresser, and i told the hairdresser i only wanted the ends off and she ended cutting my hair in to a BOB!! O.o So since then i never EVER had the courage to visit a hairdressers again... Until this week! =D Thank god my older sister was a hairdresser in the past! She always cuts my hair, however being at University its a bit more difficult, so i had no choice but to go to the hairdressers... I was rather reluctant to go to be honest, and i was scared of the result because my hair is one of my favourtie aspects (isnt it for most girls? ^_^) But i had to go as my hair was getting annoying! (The fact that it was boring and flat -_-) Sooo... I wanted to get it cut back in to the mullet style i had about a year ago now. A year!? Wow time flies... Have any of you guys have any bad experiences at a hairdressers and want to share? =)





I have been reading, or should i say looking, at a lot of Japanese magazines recently! For some reason my craving for shopping and getting ideas for fashion have been extra strong recently!! I think because Summer is almost here and so is the new fashion styles! ^ ^ Here are a few screen shots of the May edition of 'Popteen' Magazine!






















Adorable!!! ♥
Yes i love to read the odd Japanese magazine, they are full of inspiration for fashion styles, hair styles and make up!

A few super awesome hair styles:

And WOW check out these nails!! *_* Kawaiiii~~






I have an end of year ball coming up very soon, on the 21st of May to be exact! I'm so excited!! So i ordered a new dress! I really cant wait to recieve it! I ordered it from Yesstyle and because the postage to the UK is pretty expensive, i ordered a few other things as well! Yey!! =D So i will definitely do a haul/review when they arrive!

I also plan to do a Prom/Ball make up look soon seeing as i've been requested to and i think it would make a very elegant look!
Any other looks/tutorials/videos you would like to see? =)





One last thing i wanna ask you guys before i go, is if there is anything you wanna particularly see or read about in my blog? Any requests for what you would like to see/read? Im just curious! ^ ^

Well take care everyone! And i look forward to updating again soon!

Much Love! ♥

Wow its been way too long! I apologise for how long its been, but i recently checked my blog and saw i have 72 followers!! Thank you so much! To me, thats amazing!! I'm so happy, thank you! ^_^ So incase you guys didnt know, i am at University now, and loving my time here so much! I am studying Japanese finally!

There is so much work at University, well, now i have so much to do! But even so, i want to keep updating my blog and Youtube as much as i can! ^ ^

You know how much of a k-pop lover i am, recently from a really kind friend who i love to pieces bought me JYJ's 1st album!! JYJ = <3

Their music is amazing, do any of you guys listen to k-pop or JYJ especially? Its such a shame DBSK broke up... But i will always keep the faith! I love them too much XD

I know it was a loooooong time ago now, at least, it feels like it was! But i want to show you guys how i did my eye make up for New Years Eve, i used glitter!! It was my first attempt with glitter, but i think it came out pretty well, I went to a party and thought i'd do my make up extra special! *^ ^*


~~~

I talk to a lot of people on Youtube and Facebook who are interested in K/J-Dramas. When i wasnt so busy at university a few weeks ago, i watched the all new famous Korean drama 'Secret Graden'! I think a majority of you have probably seen it already, but if you havent, i really recommend you watching it!! Its just out of this world, and i didnt want it to end!

Here is the link to watch it online:

My Summer So Far...

Hey guys!

Wow its been a while again, gommenasai! >.< But i have had the most amazing summer ever and i wanted to share it with you guys! First off, as most of you know, i went to Turkey at the beginning of July, (my tan has faded, nooo! T-T) but it was absolutely amazing! Have any of you ever been to Turkey? If not i totally recommend you go, it is like heaven there!~ total bliss and the people are so friendly! Me and my friend visited a place called Icmeler, such a friendly and beautiful place! Here are soe piccies of what went on there: I have such good memories of the place now, i will never forget what an amazing time i had!



I also went to see JLS live with my sisters as i told you in the post before!~ They put on an awesome show, and as the first live concert i have ever seen i was pretty impressed!
Have any of you gever been to see a concert? If so, who was it? =)


You cant see them well, they are a group of 4 guys if any one doesnt know, here they are:


They are pretty cool, but you know me! Im more in to my K-Pop so they are not my favourtite band or anything, my younger sister is crazy about these guys though! n_n



I have been shopping soo much recently! Well actually i havent spent a penny, but for some reason my mum must be in a good mood or something but she took me shopping with my younger sister and bought a whole heap of clothes! ^o^ So much so i have no space in my wardrobe anymore! >.<

So recently something else i purchased, is a dress from the designer brand, Yumi! ♥ Not only are they the cutest and amazingly quality clothing, they are a Japanese brand!~ ^___^ Ahh! Im in love!
But here in the UK, as Yumi is a designer brand its pretty expensive, it was totally lucky to come accross 'House Of Fraser' having a sale! I even bought a skirt as the price was soo good! Click HERE to go to the sale! Its still happening!

So here is the dress i bought:


It has got to be one of my favourite things i own ever! Its just so cute and lacey! n_n Who else loves Yumi? ♥

If you probably noticed in the picture, i have had my fringe/bangs cut! If you havent seen my facebook then this is how it now looks:


I really like this look! Its very different to what i had as my fringe was side swept, but i really like this change ^_^ If it grows out i will have a side fringe again, i just hope i can have it cut often to keep it nice and short how it is in the picture =)
Its great to have a change sometimes!



Now, i am working full time to earn money and keep myself occupied during the summer holidays. Its pretty good as i work early in the morning until early afternoon so it still gives me time to myself, but i find myself so busy with so many things sometimes i cant believe how fast the day goes! I plan out what i am to do when i get home and i only have time to do one or two things! Its crazy how fast time flies!~

Im glad i finally had a chance to update my blog though! I have missed blogging! *_*

I will only be working until mid September as thats when Uni starts, when do you go back to school or college? Or are you already there? I dont know how schooling works in other countried, but i find other countries education policies so interesting! I dont know why...

Results on the 19th August! So close now... *Shudders at the thought*



So, i think thats about all i have to tell you! If you guys have any requests for videos feel free to let me know! Again, i just want to say thank you for all your support!~ I truly appreciate each and every one of you!

I have reached over 50 followers on my blog!^_^ I was so happy when i saw this!~ I will totally have to have a mini giveaway for all my lovely blog followers soon! Keep a look out for that!

Have an amazing week every one! And stay beautiful!
Much Love,
Alice
