Love and Support to a Friend
Okay I finally got to get Popteen's January issue. But before we get to that, I have a friend who's dream was to share her love for music. She is absolutely talented and gorgeous. I admire her hard work and effort she puts into all her music. Even if you're not into Indie/folk/alternative, just listen to this perfect definition of art: http://judithamelia.bandcamp.com/track/who-we-are. JUDITH I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA BE A SOMEBODY IN THIS THIS WORLD

Again please support my friend Judith for her amazing work of art

HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU GUYS

2013 is gone but will never be forgotten. But we all still have to create more history in 2014

.Basically what I'll be talking about in this post is MY predictions in the Neo Gal fashion. I'll reference from different blog posts that I've read back in 2013

I'm actually looking forward to 2014 besides the fear of losing hope ha ha~

The fall of bottom lashes: Though it's very obvious that bottom lashes are used less and less now. Usually when you see bottom lashes in Egg Magazine and Ageha Magazine.

Black and White: Hounds tooth, checkered, vertical stripes; we all saw these new trends come in the near end of 2013 and it has gained extreme popularity

More Street/ Harajuku: The Shibuya fashion is slowly falling into the Harajuku world. Influences may be from Kyary Pamyu Pamyu (but of course I do love her) The tear eye bag (similar the the ulzzang beauty) It's funny how I've been trying so hard to get rid of my bags but it's in style now lol

Natrual Circle lenses: 3 toned greys, greens, and brown (mostly earth colors) giving a natural look along with the feathered false lashes.

TONED DOWN: excluding the Black Diamond, evolution of gyaru has become almost normal (as in normal i mean regular mainstream trend). I feel as if that th decline in intensity has dropped dramatically as if gal has murged into one with onee. As if neo gal wants to be a part of society and afraid of opinions. But hey, change can be good.
