Kana Hoshino's style

みんなさん、こんばんは。

Actually now I'm supposed to be studying for my Saturday's exam, but, eheh ^^

So I've decided to make a quick post about my fav ever model:

Kana Hoshino, from PopSister magazine.


First of all I want to explain why I love so much this magazine.
Mainly it's beacuse of (or thanks to) their true "mess" of styles! You can find almost e.v.e.r.i.t.h.i.n.g. there! A lot of rock style (like Wei Son's style), but also gipsy and ojikawa&obakaw. From the Tsubasa's romantic rock style, to the Yui's sweet style, you MUST find something suitable for you!
About me, well, I don't have a specific style, but, incredibly, I'd love to wear more or less every outfit shown in PopSister, from rock to gipsy (just some of Aya&Ami outfits I wouldn't wear- just too much street style-but I'm still loving those girls!).

Up to now, the model I liked most, has been Kana.
I think she's one of the "oldest" Popsister models (over 25, possible?), but she's so...BAMBI!
I preferred her with looong hair, her hairstyle was amazing (you can see it in the picture above), and actually it's the one I'd like to achieve *-* fringe+long wavy hair <3

Btw, with short hair she's cute too!


She has a very intense make up, focused on eyes: big (usually) dark lenses, bottom and upper lashes, black eyeliner, and very natural lips, with gloss only.
I prefer this kind of look than nude lips, or Tsubasa's ones...

But let's talk of her style!
I can summarize it like this:
  •  heels/boots
  • socks
  • minidresses
  •  cardigans or shirts or jackets over them
  • hats
  • wavy hair.
I know it sounds pretty simple, but in my opinion this style is simply amazing.
Here you are a few examples:

I love LOVE this look. Lace up boots ( I need to buy them *-*), minidress (it looks like a playsuit), military jacket and cute hat. And her big eyes!

Another cute look, simple but not less fashionable. Over-the-knee socks, white long top, gray long knit cardi. I wear a similar outfit to go to university by replacing heels with rock boots (I call them rock because they've studs on XD)^^

Sweety! Fur boots, nice mini dress, ponpon hat. Usefull outfit, you just need to add a knit cardi over it, maybe extra-size in order to maintain this dolly/baby look (bigger the outfit is, smaller you'll appear).

How cuuute!!
Check shirt is a must, and with Snoopy is super cool! If you have a nice pattern of it (or another comics character), you could just sew it on the shirt^^ This will make your check shirt a super cool check shirt!
Used denim shorts, and cowboy boots (personally I wouldn't wear them, and every kind of boots are ok!).


A cream outfit, with, again, lace up boots and socks^^ Minidress+open shirt this time, and knit hat. Maybe this outfit is better on warmer days, but anyway it's a good inspiration!

And finally...

NIIICEE!!
Isn't it a bit mode-ish?
I like those boots to pieces!
Boots, tight paginsu and a big cardi to make contrast. The point? Fuuur!

Tu sum up, I think Kana's style is pretty easy to achieve, and suitable for every occasions: from school (maybe avoiding heels), to office, to shopping, to go out at night (without jackets or cardigans over the minidress and with red lipstick for example)...So far it's the style that represents me the most *-*
You don't even need to buy from gyaru brands, beacause all key elements can be found in every store!
And for those girls like me, who couldn't afford to buy from Japan and only from gyaru brands, Kana's style is perfect!
You just need to be a bit creative^^ It's fun!

Do you buy from expensive brands, or do you recreate fashionable outfits with cheaper clothes?
About me, I buy a lot from h&m, zara, oviesse, new yorker...

Talking a bit more about styles, I like Tsubasa too, but I think her style is too childish for my taste, and on the other hand Wei Son's style is too rock and grunge, and Yui Kanno's one is too sweet U.U Anyway I appreciate those models !

So girls, what do you think of Kana's style?

Would you like to see more models's style posts on this blog?^^

Nails, make up, shopping


! ∼
∼こんにちは
 げんきですか
I'm so sorry I didn't post before, but I was incredibly busy with my exams U.U
Yesterday I did my Italian literature one, and today I have plenty of time for posting, !
ヤイ

First of all, I will show you how to create this kind of look (again inspired by a post at graphic-noise blog - you could find the exact link in my first post ^^).



Here you are the material I used:


Protect and cover you nails with a first coat of transparent polish

Let it dry and then apply the mat blue polish

Before applying the darker blue in a sort of "curve", I put on sellotepe around my nails, to avoid my skin to get dirty^^

Then apply the shimmer dark blue doing a curve

Finally apply a top coat (I used a shimmery one) to make your nails lasting longer, and you're done!

Hope you liked it!

And now I'd like to show you my daily make up, used to go to universtity etc.

It's quite simple, but it really illuminates and enlarges your eyes!



I apply a pearly pink eyeshadow as a base, then put brown eyeshadow only in the crease of my eye, blending well.
I use liquid eyeliner in the top, and pencil eyeliner in the bottom (only in the middle), and finally I apply Naturalites top false lashes, and Colossal mascara by maybelline (so good *-*).

Well I was wondering if I should buy some japanese make up, like Canmake, but isn't it a bit expensive??
The product, and shipping...<.< I'm not very sure... What about the quality?

______

A bit of shopping!


Alien by Thierry Mugler eau de parfum --LOOOVE IT! (about 40€, 30ml)
h&m ring and bracelet: each one 3€ (on sale)
new yorker watch: 9,95€
new yorker military shirt: 19.95€ (I'll use it as a jaket, like Kana Hoshino does often *-*)

____

Well, for now that's all, but in the next few days I'll make a post about my favourite ever model, the always fashionable and beautiful Kana Hoshino, from Popsister mag <3

And I'm leaving you with a question: what kind of lenses do you think Aya is wearing?
I love how she looks, and I'd like to recreate her make up *-*


I think they could be the neo cosmo dali brown:


Suggestions?^^
