Yumetenbo Shoes DIY

Hello peeps ! (*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡

 

I have a new DIY for you gals ♥ 
I found a few old Yumetenbo designs on Pinterest and remembered my beginnings in the gyaru scene. Since I don't have any flat sandals for this summer yet, I thought it would be the perfect moment for another Gyaru DIY.

 

 

 I bought some simple sandals. These are plain ones I found in a "dollar store" called Woolworth. I paid 8€. Thanks to inflation, sandals are no longer as cheap as they once were. I can still remember that you used to pay around €5 for such simple slippers.

 

I have to admit, it took me two days to start this DIY.
It's because of my fear and my perfectionism. I often worry too much about what could happen if I screw up the DIY. Instead of just starting it.

Everything I needed for this:
- Sandals
- pink satin fabric
- iron-on fleece line
- black lace
- Heart-shaped rhinestones
- black and pink thread

At first I thought I would just glue the lace ribbons on with the hot glue gun, but I realize that leftover glue is really unsexy.

So I decided to sew everything by hand.

It took a lot of time. But in the end it was worth it.

what do you think of my result?

That's it for today, see you tomorrow ♡(｡- ω -)

D.I.A. DIY [ leopard top ]

 Hello peeps! 

Since we have this "problem" to not find any d.i.a clothes anymore (affordable). I decided to DIY a little bit. I would like to mention that I am not a professional seamstress. I just do it for fun, and maybe one day I'm actual proud of my work?
d.i.a clothing were "that thing" after/beside the romagyaru, himekaji aera. I remember 2011/12 when I dig deep into the world of gyaru brands, ther were: Liz Lisa, Ank Rouge and Yumetenbo for the sweeter gal-style and d.i.a., GLAD NEWS and Skinnylip for the more edgey, western kinda galstyle.
Yes, that were the brands I know at this time ~ haha ... my cute small horizon 

Nevertheless I will show you my progress on my new project.
I was scrolling through old gyaru blogs (which I really enjoy doing these days way too much) and I stumbled across Gyaru TwinZ's blog.
I link the original post under the picture.

I fell in love with these cute top. And decided to make my own. I collected many DIY stuff to make my own d.i.a. clothing, but most of the time I'm to scared to ruin the pieces .. what is really dump, ... I can only make a progress when I try it. So I did.

1- First step, cutting out the front and back parts.

 

2 - Ruffle the bust part. And sew the side seams to get the tube.

 

3 - Figuring out how long I want the button-detail to be.

4 - Prepare the button placket detail and hand sew the buttons on.

5 - Sewing the whole thing on the top.

And this is currently my status from the top. I'm not sure yet if I really want to make the straps anymore. I would still need 2 small O-rings and the gold rivets to make it perfect.

Also I don't think I wanna make the arm warmers ... But I dont know .... help

New Gets and decoden ✨

 Hello Peeps ! ✨

hope everything is fine? 

yesterday was a lazy day. I had some work to do and after that I went to the drug store. I buy myself a little gift. A hot pink lipstick, neonpink nail polish and some cute halloween nail stickers.
Besides that I wanna try to dye my hair by myself.
A long time ago I usedn to bleached my roots and dyed my hair by myself... but there was nothing to loose, my hair where already white blond. The only exident that could happend, was a purple untertone. But now the stakes are significantly higher since I can't afford a hairdresser either.

So wish me luck haha ... *nervous*

I really wanted to “decode” something, so the lipstick had to be used for that. Unfortunately, I only found a fraction of my sticker collection, which makes the result not quite as satisfactory.

time to deco(den)

But in the end it turned out cute.

see you ♥

♥ My Gyaru Wardrobe Pt 2 – Sweaters & Cardigans/Jackets ♥

Hello peeps! (•ө•)♡

How are you my lovely pumpkin pies?

Winter is comming and so are my second part of my Gyaru wardrobe. I've become more aware than ever of how few warm Gyaru clothes I have... I'll have to change that pretty quickly.

I've already started a small wish list, but I'm not sure when the best time is to start an order.

It's unbelievable that I actually still have a few d.i.a clothes. Thanks to the “scalpers”, it is becoming increasingly unlikely to get hold of such clothing. But maybe we'll be lucky and the style will become "trendy" again at some point. Then we could also get such clothes in local shops.
Let's keep our fingers crossed.

1 INGNI ; 2 TRALALA ; 3 one spo ; 4 Romwe/Shein
5 Cecil McBee ; 6 & 7 d.i.a spec ; 8 Lip Service

Cardigans/Jackets

1 GLADNEWS ; 2 & 3 DaTuRa ; 4 Liz Lisa
5 DIY front (6) back ; 7 Ma*rs ; 8 Liz Lisa

Point 5 & 6 are a DIY jacket by myself. Front and back, but the same piece. I really wanted a silver-ish "d.i.a" Cardigan/jacket. So I did it myself.

sweet and short for today. But the collection will soon be growing.
I try to show my collection once a year so you can see what's in my closet.

Hime Gyaru DIY

 

 Hello peeps! (っ˘ω˘ς )

Not much happened yesterday. I've finished a few DIY projects. For example the baby blue Hime-Gyaru ribbon. Unfortunately, the matching chocker is not ready yet. But the polka dots top. I'm looking forward to combining it with an outfit.

(The choker is not finish at this moment, I want
pearls on it similar like the baby blue bow.)
