I mean even Lady Gaga loves it and wears it (though they can be a little bizarre... - anime eyes, anyone?)
I follow this website called Tokyo Fashion on Facebook.
They post daily on the citizens of Akihibara.
Most of them there sport a daring outfit (something we would never do) and I salute them for that.
Some of the outfits depict steampunk, which I think is really really cool.
There's also really cute looks as well (and they look so dolli-ish and adorable).
I'm jealous of how Japanese females get such pale skin!
And of course, minori* is always appearing on the page.
I really love her style and how she pays so much attention to details on her eyes!
Her outfit is always (I think) handmade and remade from resale pieces.
She's also called a "Shironuri", which literally translates to "painted in white" and therefore they refer to people who dress in the shironuri style wear white makeup
Shironuri also frequently dress up in Japanese traditional elements and sport a gothic lolita style, which I think is really unique!
Here is my favourite outfit of minori*:
“Sleeping, Waking, Awakening, and Death”
I adore how she executes the term "Plants" so accurately.
She looks like a forest spirit going through different stages.
She is very artistic and I am envious of that.
I wish I could execute such a beautiful form of art on my face too.
(I can't even do make up.)
I don't really understand the discrimination against Crocs when it's catered towards people who value comfortable shoes. Instead, some doctors are even recommending it to patients with foot issues - especially those with bone deformities and diabetes. A new line of Crocs called CrocsRx is specially catered towards those patients for relief. CrocsRx. They are lined with antibacterial material that prevents fungal and bacterial infections. The spare room and antibacterial properties also help with diabetes patients because they have higher risk for open sores and wound infections. I personally love wearing Crocs, having bought lots of them. It's especially convenient that you can wear it even when it rains (though it gets a little soggy). What's great about them is the arch support and how I don't get blisters from wearing them though I am extremely blister prone. And yes, I do know that it has been out for years but I normally don't find anything interesting on there until recently. I find Instagram's boxed photos crazily classy and even if someone adds white bars, it still looks great. I've been posting and sharing my photographs on there (most of the pictures are of cats though and my friend has been saying YOU AND YOUR CAT POSTS). Here's a few photos depicting my OOTD (Outfit Of The Day) before I went to work:
I don't know why but I'm digging vintagey stuff a lot lately.
So one of my good friends edited my DP (display picture) on Facebook for more.
And heck, he did a real good job.
(He removed the entire background and even paid attention to the details of my hair).
For some reason, the hat photoshopped onto me reminds me of old ladies who go to shop or those farmers in Taiwan. But I was told that it's FASHUN. I don't really understand the trends at times but I'll try my best! Being fashionable is.. hard. Can you believe that the first pair was made for royalty (King George VI) as a casual horse shoe? So basically we commoners nowadays are actually wearing shoes fit for a king LOL!
It was said though, that Michael Jackson was the one that made it fashionable, having worn it as his trademark.
However, I actually started liking them from seeing girls rock it (Japanese ones of course).
They wear loafers to school on a daily basis and I find them really attractive compared to our constantly soiled white shoes.
I also adore how they give off this demure look.
On top of that, they do look a little vintage and classy.
“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
My love for animals (and birds in particular) stem from a really young age.
I enjoy bird watching and watch as they take flight. It really is an amazing sight.
I wonder if birds do ever suffer from a fear of heights (I do know that those with trimmed wings are, but other than that, I wonder if they are ever born with that phobia). I've read up an article on how birds fly earlier and it seems to be hold more than what meets the eye:
