Hi pretty gals!
We haven't been as active here recently as we would have liked, but we decided to make a post about the second hand clothes that we have been buying recently!
The apps that we have been using are called Mercari and Fril. Both of them are really easy to use, as you can search for a brand and then a category/price/condition of the item in that particular brand! Meaning you can get clothes in almost new condition for as low as 500¥!
We decided to make two parts as we are still waiting on a few items, so in this post we will be focusing on the clothes that we have been getting from Duras as they are definitely our biggest love at the moment!
Might as well add that one of the main reasons why we decided to start buying second hand clothes is simply because we want to save more money, WITHOUT having to have to stop buying clothes! So this is a great way for us shopaholics to shop without spending too much!
One of the first orders that we made were these four items, but we got them all together for 5890¥, which is quite nice! They came in good condition and the two bottom dresses actually have those shorts with buttons in the crotch! Pretty neat until you realize that your butt isn't flat and you have to go to weird lengths to button them after a trip to the bathroom...xP
These we got separately! Got the pink one for 5000¥, and the blue one for 2600¥.
This one came out last summer and I, Emi, fell in love with the design! However upon trying it on I somehow didn't feel I looked that good in it and ended up not buying it!
But I guess over the past year my perception on what looks good on me changed a bit as we bought a dress with a similar cut that we both really liked! Then when we started buying second hand I saw this one again and just KNEW I had to get it! and after getting the pink one I also knew I had to get the blue one...xP
The quality of the fabric is great and they certainly looked brand new when we got them! Adittedly I most likely could have gotten the pink one cheaper on mercari (got it on Fril), but I still hadn't started that app at the time and therefore did not know. So be sure to look at everything first, unless you are afraid someone else might snatch it!
The pink dress costed 1500¥, the white tunic costed 4000¥.
Really like both of these! weirdly the dress came with a stain that was not listed in the app, but with some baking powder and soap I managed to get it out just fine! Which was a huge relief as it was on the front of the dress and quite visible (most likely an oil stain).
The tunic is also super cute, but a bit difficult to coordinate with.
The blue flower top costed 2500¥, the white tank top costed 777¥.
Really like the flower one, not as convinced with the tank top, but Lea seems to really like it^^
Yellow one costed 1800¥, Red one costed 2300¥
I was always looking at these on my apps, had a lot of them liked on both of the apps, that is how much I wanted them. Lea wasn't as convinced but she approved of the red one...but I had been seriously lusting after the yellow one so I just convinced her to say yes to that one as well! xD
Brown romper costed 3333¥, Brown dress 2222¥
Both super cute, especially the dress. But the romper is a bit long, therefore quite open and requires you to wear some kind of a top inside.
So all in all these 14 items costed around 32000¥+some cost in shipping. So on average each items costs around 2000¥!!
I might add that paying for them is also super easy! If you live in Japan/or are staying for long enough time then just sign up with your address in Japanese and then pay in the convenience store, if you are not sure how to use the machines just choose to pay with 7eleven as they do it by the register!
Just remember that some of the sellers send the package so that you have to pay the sending fee! But they always state so in the listing.
Hi pretty gals!
Since coming to Japan we have gotten a lot of chances to dress pretty (although we are lazy maybe 60% of the time xP)
But yeah! Today we want to share with you gals some of our outfits!
Warning! Quite pic heavy!XP
Hi pretty gals!
In the beginning of April Rienda released a new home collection, and as we had a few hours to spare we decided to head over to Donki in Mizonoguchi and check the collection out!
Hi pretty gals!
Since we came to Japan we decided to start vlogging! We have already mentioned it before, but we decided to make a short post about it!
Hi pretty gals!
Thankfully spring is almost upon us, so that means perfect weather for walks and lots of pretty flowers!
So the other day we had to go to the bank, but afterwards we also decided to go for a walk with Noa as the weather was super good!
Don't know if we said this properly on our blog, but a few weeks back we decided that we wanted to adopt a dog! So recently we found a really cute toy poodle named Noa, that is now a part of our small family❤︎
But, well, on our walk we happened up on some pretty things that we decided to share with you gals!^^
We also found this Sakura shrine! Just how pretty is that!?
Those of you who have gone to shrines in Japan most likely know this, but when visiting one you always clean your hands and mouth (although most people just pretend to touch their mouth with the water) with water that is usually located close to the entrance. And since we were doing that we also did the same to Noa! xP
Noa being happy under the Sakura blossoms❤︎
The flowers around the shrine are so pretty, so I took a lot of pictures!
I just absolutely love taking pictures with iPhone 6s+, as the quality is just so good! Not to mention that I don't have to carry around a big camera! (Which I am also to lazy to use...-.-')
If anyone is interested to go there, then this shrine is in Sakurashinmachi on the Den en toshi/hanzomon line!^^
Hi pretty gals!
Around two weeks ago me and Lea decided to meet up with one of our friends, Natalia, and go visit the share house that we all lived together in in last year!
We all really love the people living there and we hadn't met most of them for more than half a year!
In the morning however, I, Emi, went to Dot1101 in Ginza to get eyelash extensions! I decided to get them quite natural, as (most of you might have noticed already) recently I have started doing a lot more natural makeup! Still love gyaru makeup and especially the fashion, but somehow I just don't feel satisfied anymore with my fakelashes, often felt like they were out of place somehow:s (Much to Lea's dismay...xP)
Really happy with my eyelash extensions! I ordered through Hot Pepper, and they have an offer between 11am and 4pm on weekdays for around 4000¥! Although I had to pay more as mine are darkbrown instead of black, and for some reason those cost more:s
Met with Natalia in Asagaya station and we headed to an Okonomiyaki place there that we have gone to a few times before! And of course we got some ramune ;)
Yummy food! We always want to go to places where we can do the Okonomiyaki by ourselfs! I hate going to eat okonomiyaki just to get it cooked to my table...always get so disappointed...
The shopping street in Asagaya!
After eating we wanted something sweet so we went to Baskin Robins and made the staff there surprised when the three of us all ordered three scoops of Oreo ice cream each! No other flavor as we all love oreo so so much!
We also stopped in a candy store and went a bit to crazy there...
We also arrived to our share house before everyone came home...and we had already finished most of the candy before anyone arrived...oops
Then slowly everyone came home and we had such a good time! One of our friend also invited us to her second wedding party, to which we went to recently and had such a great time there!
We just love all of these people so much, and sitting down there really felt like 'old times' again, and even Daisuke said that this felt like family!^^ These people really do feel like family❤︎
Hi pretty gals!
About two weeks ago we went to a release event to one of our favorite duo's new CD called Orifice!
Also after going there, we were chatting with a friend on FB and he told us that in English Orifice is a word over the holes on ones body...especially the anus...D:
But thankfully it has a different meaning in Japanese...Although that is also kind of weird...xP
Hi pretty gals!
Few weeks back we made an appointment to get our nails done! Lea had only had hers for 2-3 weeks though, but she had never been fully satisfied with hers so we just decided to make an appointment early, as I also wanted to get mine done!
Hi pretty gals!
The weekend before Valentines a lot of stores had Valentines offers so of course we had to go check it out! Our most anticipated one was Rienda!
I blogged a bit before about their Valentines Collection, so please check that one out as well!!^^
Hi pretty gals!
Don't really have a lot to say in this post, buuut who cares if I just post pointless purikura filled posts?? xD
(I know I don't care ;) )
Hi pretty gals!
Two weeks or so ago, Valentines weekend, we worked at a popup store!
But our uncle's wife is a designer so we were working for her a bit! So we wanted to share a bit of her work and those three days with you gals!
But her brand is called Eiko's World!
A week or so before everything started we went shopping with them for clothes for us to wear for those days (as the "producer/planner" said our clothes were to gyaru! xD Who would have guessed?!). So as our uncle loves Futakotamagawa we went there to a store called Grace Continental and found these four gorgeous dresses!
From the first day, Friday, the planner actually got a hairstylist to come do our hair and also Eiko's hair! Like you can see my look for Friday was pretty rokku! While Lea was really lady-like.
We were both wearing clothes from Eiko's World, except for my top as that is Rady^^
More detailed look at our hair and Lea's outfit, but all of the jewelry that we are seen wearing there are also from Eiko's World!
From the store! A lot of effort was put into making everything look so pretty, and just the flowers took such a long time!! But everything looked perfect!
Our look for Saturday!
Actually, a hairstylist came over for all three of the days, and everyday she and the planner were really wondering about what to do with my hair, as it is short. But I found that so surprising as I would assume a hairstylist would already be used to working with short hair? SO for Saturday they were thinking of taking my bangs up, and I was just like no...and told them to do it like you see in the picture! (although I didn't imagine she would make it so fancy in the back! But it looked great!
This dog came with one of the customers, and how he wined really reminded me of our dog that passed away last year><
I REALLY like this black dress! It seriously looks so good! Just really feel like I have no coat that matches it properly:s
Then two people that rescue dogs came in, as the woman was trying on clothes, and I got to hold this cutie most of the time! He was shivering like crazy, but I just held him tightly until he stopped and calmed down ❤︎
But his owner told my uncle that apparently this is pretty common with this breed? But I am not really familiar with them, so I don't really know.
If you have been watching our vlogs (if not then please check it out^^) you might have already heard that we are going to adopt a dog soon if everything goes well, but these three days, and meeting these dogs just really made us realize just how much we miss having a dog! And since we can take our, future, dog to work we decided to try and adopt one!
In the evening right before the store closed a good friend of ours, Natalia (we used to live together last year in our share house), came to visit us and we went a bit shopping and eating together afterwards!
We actually ate cows tongue, but it is so good! You gals should definitely try it out!!!
Natalia also got us some valentines chocolates (to the left), the cute cat packaging is also a chocolate box we received on Friday. But we received them from a lady who actually came to our uncle's house to teach us better manners! xD Not that we are not polite, more just the fact that Japanese manners are just way way out there, they are so polite! So she was so nice as to visit us and give that to us ❤︎
Valentines day look!!!
Yet again a hairstylist came over and did our hair! This time my hair was done so simply that I wondered why I even bothered waking up early for this xP Could have done that myself so easily!
Sunday was pretty uneventful, but it was Valentines so of course I went on a date~ But first we had to finish everything at the store. But seeing as we are REALLY quick with this kind of stuff, we finished in about an hour!
Overall everything was really good that weekend ❤︎
