It's OFFICIAL!!! :D



So I've OFFICIALLY decided what I will dress as if I should go to Anime Milwaukee in February! 

I will dress as a KOGYARU!♥ ♥


I'm going to wear a ridiculously cute school uniform. This would be PERFECT for me to go as, seeing as though I have some of what I need for it already! And for those of you who might be ready to b*tch about how kogyaru isn't cosplay, yes...I know, and I wouldn't be wearing it as such. But I don't have enough time to prepare a costume and since this will be my first time EVER going to an anime con I didn't want to dress up right away without learning a bit about it first, less I end up looking like a weaboo.And all of this is IF I even decide to go....the tickets are $35 but they haven't said yet if they'll be any music artists or celebrities or anything there...I don't want to waste my money on something lame. =/ Since Milwaukee is so small we usually get the basics and nothing really dramatic.Sooo I guess I'll just keep checking back.


Anyhoo, speaking of which…on the Saturday before Christmas I was supposed to meet up with gal pal Ari-chan and a couple of other girls from Dollface nago-sa but unfortunately something came up and we ended up having to reschedule. I was kinda down about it because I was really looking forward to meeting with Ari-chan…she is such an awesome gal and I feel like I can learn so much from her. But on the flipside I got to do some major Christmas shopping and go to a basketball game AND I looked pretty lovely while doing them both! Haha


Eyes: Maybelline New York Line Express eyeliner in 'Ebony Black': white shadow in corners of eyes 
Lips: Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter in 'Pink truffle' 
Face: Revlon Photo Ready Foundation in 'Cappuccino'



And my cute outfit (excuse my crappy editing to blur out my messy dresser..lawlz):
Dress: D.E.B
Bag: Coquettish*Tiara
Beret: Rakuten Curvy's





Got to have some yummy starbucks too!



Oh it was so freaking good. I think that starbucks has contributed to 75% of my weight gain. 


I’m hoping that Ari-chan and I can reschedule the meeting soon…it’s so great that she accepted me into her nago-sa even though I’m still quite a novice and not actually in Chicago.   Ari is such an awesome gyaru and I’m eternally thankful and really excited about contributing to dollface! 

Some pics of ari, such an inspirational gaijin gyaru ^_~:





Stupid Milwaukee has absolutely NO gyaru circles whatsoever, but the Chicago gal scene is pretty fierce so I guess that’s okay. I will continue to improve and define my style…maybe even inspire other Milwaukee natives to follow the gal style too...I can hope, right??

Anyhoo, that’s about it for now! Comments are of course, always welcomed!

However I had a WONDERFUL Christmas with my family and my boyfriend. There was food, lots of laughter and fun and some really awesome presents, some of which I’d even blogged about on my recent blog post about my wishlist!!

Omg and the food was amazingly EPIC. Ahh everything was so good!! The women in my family really know how to “throw down” so to speak:


Egg nog and homemade cookies decorated by yours truly..made and eaten on Christmas Eve. Our family tradition!♥

Yummy honey-baked ham~~

Oh my gawsh I luurrrrve deviled eggs!! They’re so good!

Mom’s homemade pineapple upside down cake…おいしい!

My look was pretty simple for Christmas this time around…I knew I would eat a ton of food so I wanted to wear something comfortable!  :
 Dress: D.E.B
Shoes: Dots

Had some awesome Christmas nails~~(★^O^★) :

Kinda had to rush through them since I had to head out to work...ugh I wish my nailz would grow back to their long luscious length already!

Make was quite sparkly and glittery for the holidays…wish the camera would show it better!!(/゚Д゚)/

I got some of the cuuutest presents this year as well All of them things that I wanted for a while!
Panda drew a lovely picture for me:

So sweet..he is an amazing artist. I admire his work so much and I know he will go far with it. I’ve never met anyone with as much talent as him! I will cherish his work forever and always.♥

And he also got me beautiful Pullip Shan-ria!*(*´∀`*)☆ :




She is so beautiful! I loooooove pullip dolls. I adore them sooo much! * drools * I would buy them so much more often if they weren’t so expensive.

I introduced her to my Hime-gyaru pullip so that they could bond and get to know each other..hehe:


Needless to say I hugged panda a million times for this gift.

My mom got me the Geo Xtra WBS-204 Bella Brown lenses also mentioned on my previous blog post!!
^^they look just like this…they haven’t arrived yet and omg I’m nearly pissing my pants waiting for them to come!! I hope they look really doll-ish on me.

We did secret santa at work as well and my coworker and good friend Ashley gave me an awesome make-up palette AND a Hello Kitty alarm clock/radio!! 

^^It even works as a night light too!! Oh my gosh…totally in love with it. Ashley is such a nice person, I swear! It’s so good to know people like her.

After eating my mom decided to take my nieces and nephews out to see the pretty Christmas lights in downtown Milwaukee so I tagged along as well. Sorry for not being in any of the pictures..it was freeeezing cold outside!! ヽ(●゚´Д`゚●)ノ゚


^^My niece Angelina was eager to be the model!




I can’t even begin to explain how cold it was out there…I was shivering and I even think I caught a small tickle in my throat because of it. I hate winter! 

Yeah that was my Christmas…it was honestly the perfect day, nothing at all went wrong!! I am so thankful for my family, my boyfriend and all the things I have in my life!

Toodles for now!♥
