Harajuku fashion icon Juria Nakagawa

Harajuku is the place for new fashion icons.
On of the girls who is super popular on Tumblr right now is Juria Nakagawa.
Juria is 17 years old, works for the tights shop Avantgarde and she also is a model and DJ.
She calls her fashion style Fancy girl.
I would describe it as sexy cool.

When I was walking in one of the back streets in Harajuku with my friend Danchelle
we saw Juria and asked for a picture.
I really love her hair! It always looks perfect!
Also I really like her Tokyo Bopper shoes!

Here are some more of her street snap pictures by Japanese streets,
so you can see her style.
Also you can see that her hair changes all the time.

Cat ears hair style and make-up tutorial

One of the new trends in Japan is hair like cat ears.

It is a super cute and easy style!

Normally I am not a big fan of cat ears because they are considered

to be a part of cosplay.

Cosplay and lolita don't work together so that is why I have never worn cat ears before.

I think this is a very subtle look and also could work with a lolita outfit,

but I think you do at least must have something with a cat print on it with you,

so maybe a bag, necklace or dress.
But outside lolita it can go with any look!

Please try out this look and have fun with it!!

I have also just posted this video for a winged eye make-up look on Youtube,

please enjoy!

Gyaru fashion picnic

A week ago I went with some friends to the Dutch Gyaru picnic.

Also other Japanese fashion styles were welcome, so that was very nice.

If you are not know with Gyaru here is a small explanation.
So what is Gyaru? 

Gyaru is a fashion style targeting girls and boys in the ages from 16 to mid twenties.

It is a look that is over the top girly and everything has to be perfect.

A lot of attention is paid to hair, body, fashion and face and a lot of tools are used to enhance beauty.

Wigs, Make-up, fake eyelashes and even colored contact lenses.

Within Gyaru there are a lot of different styles, but I'll try to explain those a different time.

Here is the group shot.

I took some pictures of the girls who were my personal favorites.

I think it is because I love the brand Liz Lisa and they all are dressed in this brands style,

although they don't actually all wear the brand.

And I thought it was fun that Rox and Charlotte dressed as twins.

I wore a outfit inspired by the looks I have seen in the Japanese

magazine Popteen.

Loose fashion have been very popular in Japan and I wanted to try

it because it looks so comfortable.
