A Floral Wonderland~

Okay the Title may have been a bit misleading..but anyways, this is my first fashion post! :D Well, kind of. Its technically just what I want to buy at the mo (Phaha)

H&M Floral Print Bohemian Maxi Dress
The first time i saw this dress was on the famous Monoxious blog! I truely love this blog,I think i've been following it since it began in 2009! Their accesories and many black outfits are so stylish and yummy, i especially like their D.I.Y section. I really want to to try and make some sequin tights and bunny ears in the near future!Back to the dress^^

Tadaa! The colours are in nice pastle shades, along with a nice not too over done floral print including Scallop cut!! This would be the perfect summer dress to buy if it weren't sold out in the shops haha. Apparantly the dress is also light weight, so i could get somebody to prance around and spin so i could take motion photos like in the fashion magazines (* *)

Beautiful dress flowing in the wind..aaah~

 
The dress is beautifully portrayed here by the beautiful blogger Barbro Anderson
You can find her Chitopia site here,
(I'm still working out the kinks so hopefully in the future when you want to find the source of an internet photo, all you will need to do is click on the pic)

I've found the dress on ebay, but i'm skeptical about the authenticity of it, but when i find a paying job i'll be sure to buy that dress!!
My newest interest so far is floral art, I just love the colours and that awe-inspiring feeling you get, i could most likely just stare at the art all day, (As i'm writing this entry, i'm coming to terms with my inability to think up better describing words :L I think more intelletual books to read for me!) Here are some of the artworks i've come across + loved.

persons face just addsto that mystery nee!~ and the Obi made out of flowers.:O *heart*

Going Blonde..(Ginger)

A few weeks ago, and with a bit of prompting from sammie. I decided to dye my hair Blonde XD Ofc I was fully aware of the chances of it going ginger. I bet you all know where this is going haha, Well then lets get started!!
Here I am, before the dying process :L Georgia and Sammie dyed my hair on that day, so hoots to them :) We decided to dye hair in the bathroom and be as clean as possible, lest hair dye goes on the carpet D:

The outcome!! It came out a Blonde/ginger colour. But alas, It didn't colour the whole of my head!! It randomly appeared in parts of my hair while the rest of my head with a v.dark brown :L Since I had to look presentable to give in a job application the next day, we decided to run to the store to buy a darker hair colour, heh..i forgot my purse. So then we ran all the way back, literally, after i recieved an angry call from my sister to get my toshie back home (it was quite late at night) Since we were all knackered. We decided to leave it for the night, gave my hair a bit of a rest too. haha
Come morning, The gingerness decided to contaminate the top part of my hair (ginger roots!! D;)
You can see Sammie snoozing in the background here XD There wasn't enough time to dye my hair we handed in the application with my ginger, patchy hair pahaha. It was one hell of a walk, I apologize for putting you through that my friends. /; 
We went with a different method this time. Cling film!! To keep all that colour inside my dying locks hahah.
My face says all. (- -) 
Tadaa!! This is the final finished product. Brown hair colour with random light bits dotted all over!! I think i'll just leave it for now and look after my hair. Maybe when i go back to hongkong next year i can dye my hair White Blonde!! 
Thank you for coming with me on my journey through hair dye!! We learnt a lot and know roughly what to do next time :D I think i need to cut my fringe now haha, Xp Maybe I should do it all wonky like Zemotion?

Until next time, Byebye!! x x

Yummy Dessert!!

My subject titles get more random as the year goes by it seems,[Haha].
Its bin a while!My summer has been a little more productive than last year at least, I've started to learn how to drive [Yay!] and I've also passed my exams which is better than I expected![Woo!] My only issue is that i've no idea what to do in the future, apart from the fact that I want to have an active job (- -); I also have no idea what i've supposed to be doing at the moment, what forms to fill, what i have to do in terms of finance, Ucas...I'm so behind its unbelievable.
But I guess on a lighter note,


Oishi!
I had some really yummy caramel pudding the other day! It was so plump and bouncy (><) Delicioux!!!
I'm really loving ipod apps at the moment, they give such cool effects! Such a easier alternative compared to reading the manual to Photoshop[Imagine: 8 foot tall manual.. D:]

I've been watching a lot of anime and japanese dramas recently (So time consuming when my time could be used to something more productived (--). I've been watching:
Ao no Exorcist: So bloody good, its moving,emotional,action packed...My kinda anime ;D..
[Why blogspot..why you have no emotocons D:]
No.6: A really sweet anime, it portrays friendship and strong preserverance! I may have used the wrong word there, heh, I apologize everyone!! But, waiting HOW many years to return a favor?! If only it could be like that in this world. I love the characters so much, so cute!!
Deadman wonderland: Is bloody terrifying, Oh my gosh, its so unpredictable and.s-so much BLOOD. But because it horrified and brought so many emotions to the surface while watching it, It deserves a hard clamp on the shoulder and well derserved..freedom.

The above were not reviews mind. Just my thoughts about them.

Drama wise, i've began watching Hana-kimi again and Ouran high school host club :LIVE ACTION.
Hana-kimi is helarious as always, makes me laugh when i'm feeling down haha.
OR host club copies the anime/manga with all its special effects, and yet it fails to make Tamaki blonde!! and..why is hunny 5ft7?!The whole shrinking into a little boy thing kinda raised an eyebrow, but apart from that its a pretty good watch XD

I have lots to write, about what i've been up to and stuff so stay tuned! Or come back next year XD

I shall leave you all with Michelle Phans new preview to her cosplay tutorial for: Miku Hatsune!! Her makeup would be so tedious for a cosplay but it is on super epic proportions!



Oyasuminasai Minna-san!! Goodnight everyone! Bonsoir mon ami! Buenos Noches!

Thank you for reading, Love, Akikik

Tribute to Kagrra. Isshi. My Respect.

Today I feel sad. I know, I am a little bit late in recieving the news of Isshi's passing away.
Its been a while since i've made contact with J-rock, visual kei music (Vocaloid got to me). But a few hours ago, I stumbled upon a post stating the death of Isshi from Kagrra...
This brings me great saddness.However I feel that it would be right to post about the band which got me into J-rock.
I first saw Kagrra in a NEO magazine I bought from WHsmiths in 2008 on my way back from the beach, originally, I bought it because it had a section on XXXholic inside haha, but then! lo and behold!


Entertainers of Gods FTW!
   <-- I'm afraid I cut out the art cover of their latest song Uzu at the time, to stick on the cover of  my art book. (^ ^);
After I saw this I looked em up,and listened to some of their music.At first, I was thinking...Isshi's got a really girly voice, but then after listening to a few more of their songs i began to love their free, relaxing and flowy music.
And thanks to them, I was able to find the rest of the bands from PS COMPANY!!Miyavi, The Gazette, Alice nine, Kra, SuG. ..(watery smile)



Another thing, which isn't so much about the beautiful music they produced, but more on the way they dressed.IT WAS SO NEW AND GORGEOUS.They really changed my view on clothes and totally got me into Kimono fashion. and oh yeah..can't forget about the hair ^^

Isshi trendy hair <3 

I love the fact that I copied Ishhi's flicks in 2008, and yet in 2011. THEY ARE STILL THERE! (>.<)/
As i'm writing this entry, i'm beginning to see the impact one band can have on a person and that even though they aren't related to you in any way. You can still feel like they were (forgive this epic lump of cheese) someone frickin special in your heart! <3
