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.
