A Little Inspiration

Happy October!

Today I want to make a post about my recent style inspirations. 

So...my blog has changed yet again, but not too much. 

Before it was a lot of white, black, and purple, and now it just has a lot more black (for fall & winter), but is still mostly those colors.

ALSO! The background is my and Japanese designer's new obsession (really everyone's): houndstooth.

Houndstooth has found its way onto my phone, my make up case, and now my blog.

But moving on...magazines!!!

I not so recently ordered new magazines which took FOREVER to arrive from Japan. But I've been toting them around ever since!

I got Blenda's August issue (because Namie was on the cover!) and Jelly's September issue. 

I'm not sure if I've mentioned magazines on here, but Jelly is hands down my favorite. It was always the more mature and stylish (imo) of the Japanese gyaru magazines. Some people don't even really consider it gyaru...but more just fashionable lady's wear? 

Whatevs. 

But lately gyaru fashion has matured a bit (thank God) and now other magazines are delving into it...or I'm noticing them more. So this was my first ever issue of Blenda, which I believe has always been similar to Jelly, just I didn't notice them.

And now I just ordered 3 back issues of Nuts...which I never thought I would ever buy! (Pix and info when they arrive)

I also started following Rienda and Murua on instagram....horrible idea for a shopaholic!

I literally want everything that they post!

To be honest though, one of these days I will go ahead and start buying the designer items since most of them are conveniently on one site...Runway webstore. 

Here are some of my faves (all from Murua)

Awesome jewel collar top from Murua. Comes in Black and White options.

Really cool "cuff" like earring that says...Murua :)

(This one comes in a pierce or version for "pierced" ears and an "earring" which is actually a clip on)

Comes in silver and gold options

Tassel earrings (as if I don't have enough) in milky green. Also comes in a nudy pink, white, and black. 

There are also some gorgeous velvet crop tops and loads of houndstooth sweaters, cardigans, and skirt sets.

Hope this was inspiring! Haul is coming soon on the items I found at Forever 21 inspired by these sites and magazines :)

Love,
