Hello, everyone!

Since I've been making some recent purchases on different sites of Liz Lisa and other Asian brands, I thought I'd write this post to help and give some tips in judging what kind of size would fit or be appropriate for you. 


A common question my mum asks me when she finds outs that I bought a particular item of clothing online is: "How do you know what size to buy?"At first, I was quite lazy with sizing and went with my gut feeling since I know my upper body fits medium sizes quite well, and normally chose that for tops. But, that's not very reliable. Don't do that :')

Especially remember: Clothing brands from other countries might have very different sizes that what your are familiar with. Especially, ones from Asia, as it tends to be a lot smaller.

Hello, friends! ♥

I know for sure how difficult it is to easily access fashion from other countries, such as gyaru clothing from Japan. Sometimes, we have to compromise and make do with what we have access to. I think there is always a chance of finding clothes that match the style you want. 

Depending on the style of gyaru you are looking for, you can always find items that fit that style and build a collection from which you can pick from and use to layer on top of one another. Starting from basic clothing items, layering, is a good start.

Looking at some photos for inspiration - it's very easy to build a gyaru style from clothes you would find in any store. I find blacks, whites and pinks to be very common. Again, depending on the type of gyaru you are going for, you would be looking for statement pieces that are quite fitting. Or, if you're looking for the more hime or girly gyaru style, you would be incorporating a lot of lace, frills, flouncy fabric and floral patterns.

I think something important that can help sway your fashion style is accessories. As I said before, you can find some basic clothing pieces and then layer more clothing and choose socks, shoes and jewellery to compliment your outfit and make it complete. I mean false lashes, socks and fake nails are also found here, right? Makeup plays a huge part as well.

This post is a bit of a trainwreck, but I'm writing this post just to say that, if you have a set style in your mind and know the clothes you want for it, you can look for it in stores and begin building your dream wardrobe! Good luck!

Enjoy life!

Hiya, humans~ 

Today, I want to make a quick post about another bag I recently bought from MissBaci's Second hand shop on Storenvy!

The bag was so cute and and reasonably priced, of course I had to get it! I'm really glad I did, I've been taking this bag with me everywhere.

The quality is amazing, and it came exactly like how it was described. Any faults were outlined straight away (which was just one black dot, no big deal). It came with even longer straps that you can attach, which has made life easier for me! The material is strong and the design of the bag makes it easy to use as well since it has a few side pockets on the inside.

Storenvy is a great site to find new or second-hand items at a lesser price, bags like this would be quite expensive but I didn't pay as much. The tag on the inside of the bag was still there as well, so it was pretty much new. I'm always happy with the purchases I made from this site, although, they have changed the way to pay, so I am not sure how I'll use this site in the future.

Thank you for visiting!

Enjoy life!
