Iyah Babe


My Goddaughter, Aaliyah, Iyah for short. :) She is my little model.. Dressing up is our favorite hobby :)

My big bow


&& i LOVE how my circle nerdy glasses (i bought in Greenhills Shopping Center) matches my big bow :)

Go Punk! :)


So yes, This is a sneak peak of what i'm gonna be wearing at the TOYCON 2011. I'm gonna be there on the 1st day, That's June 18. :) With my SOULSISTAH :) She's gonna be a on a sweet lolita outfit. :D Oh yea, this is too much exciting.. :) By the way, I was the one who made that Jumperskirt. :) and that Bigbow over my head too..

How to dress up like a Fairy Kei

1 - Colors. A basic Fairy Kei outfit uses a variety of pastel colors. However neon & darker colors can be incorporated in the outfit

2- Get a poofy skirt. Tutus & Petticoats are the popular choice but you don't have to wear only those options! Ruffly skirts, plain cutoff denim skirts, patterned or plain miniskirts, colorful shorts, gauzy skirts, lacy skirts, overalls, etc.

3- Add your 80's twist. Whether it be converse shoes, scrunchies, famous 80's characters like Care Bears or My Little Pony, fanny packs or even leggings. Always remember about adding an 80's twist.

4- Add cute accessories, but not too many decorative levels. Cute hairbow, cute hairclips in fun colors, thick headbands, skinny headbands, cool eighties caps, etc.

5- Style the hair. Hair can really be any style, but cutesy, childish hair is best. Maybe with a bow.

6- Use leggings, socks or tights: Opt for some bright colored legging, sock cute ankle socks or some simple colored tights. Maybe add small neutral color like black or white. Remember legwarmers? Those are an option too!

7- Add shoes. Converse are very popular in this style but there are many other option. Bright colored high top sneakers, dr maarteen, pop colored heels and even UGGs can work with this style!

8- Listen to music. The best part of Fairy Kei is the music. Popular choices are Riot Grrrl,Electroclash, 80's Pop icons such as Cindy Lauper, Madonna & Blondie just to name a few & off course Japan does have some underground bands & artist such as PEEP4U

9- Check 80's cartoons for ideas. 80's cartoons like strawberry shortcake, my little ponies, care bears, rainbow brite, barbie, the smurfs & Disney characters are very popular with fairy kei.

TIPS:

  • You don't have to wear just DokiDoki or Spank! Thrift stores are your friends.
  • Similar fashion style that might interest you are; Fairy Lolita, OTT Lolita, Decora & Neo Fairy Decora
  • Popular Fairy Kei brands are Spank!, Nile Perch, Ticket to Darling Shop & Manasca Banana.

Fairy Kei Love


This is my first and second fairy kei attempt. (Fairy kei is a street fashion from Japan. It can be described as kawaii style meets 80s pop.) The tutu skirts and the shoes were made by me.

My first Gyaru attempt


Okay, So this was my first gyaru attempt. :) I did my hair similar to the one I saw in one Popteen Magazine, braids across the bangs. heavy eye make up, tsukematsuge (false eyelashes) and contact lenses topped my look. FOR MORE PICTURES, PLEASE Visit my facebook Page :) Jaeka dollie~*

Jaeka on Fashion

I started out simply as a fan of Fashion (Korean fashion, European Fashion and Japanese fashion) And well, It's just recently that I finally came to realize that I can make those fashion I love a reality within myself. xD 

On the first few months, I was contented with buying some cute/Lovely clothes and stuffs that inspires me, then mix and matching them to create a unique statement. But now, I can proudly say that I've finally got to learn how to sew my own dresses. It's really fun actually, cause I got to wear my clothes how I want them, cause I was the one who designed it. :D

Of those 3 fashions that I love, Korean and Japanese Fashion were my favorites, it inspired me alot. Sometimes I tend to mix these two.. :D

But Japanese Fashion was the one I enjoyed doing most, maybe because of the almost monthly or so ANIME CONVENTIONS, and I dunno, It's just virtually easy for me to think of lovely designs since Japanese fashion has so many brackets; lolita, fairy kei, gyaru, oshare kei, etc. and mixing these J-fashion cultures are the best challenge ever for me, :) Thinking that I won't look exaggerated and the mix of Jfashion brackets would look visually appealing.. :)

i love you raffa :(

been crying for about half an hour now for my dog, Raffa. Apparently, up to now, there's still some people who expects so much from a dog. DOGS CAN'T TALK. If they want to ask for anything, they bark, bark and bark. and sometimes, though how much we are attached to our dog, we just can't seem to understand what does that "bark" mean. So we don't know what to do... and unfortunately to SOME, that "bark" which the dogs use to express what they want/need, is just a big noise to their ears, over and over again. I pity those people who doesn't seem to understand it. >:l and because of those narrow-minded people, My dog has to be separated from me. D: We've been together for 2 years, and it's hard to let go.. But I've got no choice.. :(( Geez, this is too much depressing :((
