Peplum fashion

Here is another fashion trend that I would like to introduce.
It is popular world wide.
Peplum fashion.
A peplum is a top or skirt with a extra layer of short gathered fabric.

Because I have big hips I chose a top.

If you have small hips you better go for a skirt with peplum.

Collar: H&M

Top: Monki

Necklaces: Vivienne Westwood

Shorts: H&M

Shoes: Ash

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu look and pokkuri shoes

Since Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is one of my idols, I decided to try to copy her signature look.
She always has puffy eyes.
I am not sure why Japanese people think that having a tired look is cute, but I tried it anyway.




Also I love the platform shoes Kyary wears a lot.
These shoes are called Pokkuri shoes in Japan and they are a huge trend.

I also have some of there shoes, here are two examples.

Alice and the pirates shoes

 
 Super lovers shoes

Japanese new trend tattoo tights

Since a while there is a new trend in Japanese fashion, skin colored tights with tattoo images on it.
You can find them in any fashion store in Japan and I am sure almost every girl owns at least one
pair at the moment.
They are mostly seen worn in Harajuku.
It is a fun way to make your outfit extra special and without getting a actual tattoo.



I decided to order my self a pair from the Japanese brand Avantgarde.
Unfortunately they don't ship world wide,
but I am lucky to have friends in Japan who can send it to me.

 

I wore the tights a few days ago when I went shopping with a friend, you cannot believe
how many stares I got, I did not realize people don't know these tattoo tights in Holland.
At one point a guy asked me if it was a actual tattoo or if I drew them on my legs,
I told him they are tights, and he was very surprised.

So outside Japan you are sure to have an eye catching item! 
If you can get your hands on a pair be sure to get them!

As a substitute you could try these tights by Wolford.

I am sure Wolford is sold in a lot of countries.

I got these two in sale, so they were around 23 euro each.

The Avantgarde tights were about the same price.
