Resolutions time ♪

Since 2011 will be the year of the rabbit, here is my bunny Chanel
This was taken quite some time ago, she's truely outgrown that pen now!

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

This year has just been, all over the place really!
Some amazing things have happened and to think I saw the Pyramids, wow
I did something that I would consider on my ultimate list of things to do! ★

I've made some HUGE changes, left University with no real direction
and using 2011 as a way to make the ultimate fresh start, the almighty life alter!

I have made so many new friends both on and offline
I've also lost 'friends' and not regretted or looked back at those people
Gals have both heigtened and crushed my spirits for the fashion
and even with weight gain, I feel so much more comfortable with my current style

In this year I became a W♥C addict
and rediscovered many things from music to hobbies

But now, what will I do to make to kick start 2011?

★☆2011 RESOLUTIONS☆★

Pay off my overdraft and have it closed
Then begin to save for my future, no our future, with the boyfriend ♥

Visit various friends around the UK
I have decided, I may not be able to save to go to Japan in this year
So I want to save up for little trips meeting and visitng lovely folk here

Cut down on all spending
Particularly W♥C items! Sad, but true. It needs to be done

Get back to 8st 11llb!
My lowest weight in a long time, I've rocketed up by 2st
I've done it before, I can do it again!


♪ !! がんばって!! ♪
Did you make any New Year's resolutions?
Maybe mine aren't amazing or ambitious, but they're changes and mostly new for me
I've got my determined cap on and I think I can do this!

(」゜ロ゜)」<<<☆.。.:*・゜☆HAPPY NEW YEAR☆゜・*:.。.☆

Christmas 2010 ★

Looking at your blogs, easy to see everyone has a good time!
and whilst I'm free before work today I may as well put in my celebrations

Starting with Christmas Eve!
I was in work for an hour or so, it was a bit ridiculous lol
But it meant not finishing late and that I could go out!
I hadn't been out since... Halloween? Gosh, I never have the time or money haha

Heres a snap of me before heading out
I only had time to take one shot of myself hah, but oh well!
I was so pleased with my make up that night, it would not bloody show well lol damn

We brought in Christmas in a taxi and I'm sure we sand Old Lang Syne... lol wtf!
We wanted to go to Playhouse but it was shut so had to trek across town to Delius
Only wearing plastic flats... I was glad I took socks hahaha

Here is everyone (minus a couple of people!)
It was a great night! ♥
Though it meant being very hungover on Christmas morning
I still managed to get to my boyfriends house and survive hehe

This is my boyfriends Christmas tree
Complete with the plush of CM Punk I had made for him


and now, the moment we are all awaiting... presents!! Hehe
I thought presents got worst as you grew up?!
This was one of the best Christmas hauls I ever got haha
Close ups ; 1 ♪ 2 ♪ 3

Heres my MAC haul!
Expect more about these in coming weeks, reviews and such!


and my Vivienne...
Charm bracelet and Knuckle duster charm ♥
I can't wait to get more!
Love this loads, everyone and their mum has a Pandora or a replica one these days
Having a Vivienne one is more "me" and unique!

Christmas greetings!

Hehe these are some of my cards from this year
My family aren't really card people and we don't send many
But I always put up the ones I receive ♥

So, it's Christmas eve and I was due a long shift at work but I got sent home
I was in work for one hour... if it was any other day I'd have wanted to stay
But it's the holidays and I want to go out tonight hehe

So from tonight I will be busy for a few days and blogging will be sparse
But if you look on my link list to the left
← Theres links for my twitter etc, where I can post from my phone
So I won't be gone completely! Hehe

and well let me just take this chance now to say to all my followers
MERRY CHRISTMAS
I hope you all have a lovely day and I can't wait for present posts!! hehe
and also to see and hear about what you all got up to
I will spend my first Christmas without my family! So strange!


I know my post's have been more personal and wordy lately
I hope this is ok haha, I don't always have gets to post about unfortunatly hehe

Christmas eve, eve!

Hello everyone!
Are you all ready for Christmas?
I literally finished everything on my day off today hah
I don't think I have ever left it this late before!! I'm usually ready before December
But with W♥C consuming my soul, I wasn't as equipped with money so soon

So I had to go to the shops today with my brother
Here's a quick snap of me...
I feel it was one of those days where I looked good IRL and crap on camera
As per my life really haha
Though my hair sucked I didn't have time to do much with it
I had been up super early anyway to go have blood tests
I can't really talk about my illness here, it's too personal, but hope its all ok!

and now for something completely different...
Carrying 2 of my dogs on my back haha!

My poodle just appears to be too comfortable with this
as though it's my duty to be her servant?! rofl
and whats with my back... is this normal? I can't say I've seen myself in this pose before lol


and my mums dog too
She weighs 2 stone, so this wasn't comfortable for me at all lol

and these pictures also show how I look more often than not
I'm a loungewear addict and I live in my various leopard tracksuits haha ♥
I just find wearing outfits and make up when I have no plans a waste lol
and with pets, I prefer to try keep my clothes fur free so having these to take the fluff
Its much better for me, though I do wear them SO often
I am such a lazy/terrible gal haha (⌒▽⌒;)

Gal Secrets

In the recent Gal Secrets, I was posted!! (post #114)

Though it doesn't seem to be working, it's scret #21
I just used the 'properties' to get the links of secrets that didn't show for me
and then I was like "Oh!! Thats me!!" hahaha

Thank you so much to whoever wrote this ♥
I'm also super greatful that so far my experiences on there have been positive *phew*
hope that isn't a key to open a negative flood gate though rofl

Lucky Punk Co. ♪

Recently I received a Pink Hello Kitty bow clip from Lucky Punk Co. @ Etsy
Such a cute store providing "Rocking accessories, with a dash of pop culture"
They have such cute things, I'm really loving the Moustache/Leopard print clip holder
...it's like it was made for me!! Haha

But I'm not here just to advertise this lovely place, oh no
Because the best part is... this bow could be yours!
Stipulations, etc are yet to be decided but keep your eyes peeled
For another Giveaway! ★

W♥C gets!

Oh, what, Sami bought W♥C... how shocking! Hah
What is shocking that this got here on time
I honestly thought it would take much longer
But for upcoming packages, Im risking the customs and having them EMS

In the New year, I really want and need to cut down on my W♥C spending
Though I doubt I will be able to go to Japan again
I have my future to save for, I'd really like to be in my own place this time next year
and holidays/W♥C aren't going to get me there haha

But, on to the gets!!

Kumatan sticker
Marine Kumatan is my favourite design so I couldn't resist this!


Bit of a... I forgot the word... a purchase I just made because I could sort of thing lol
They were back instock and I just felt like having them lol
I've leopard on the way too, I think Ill prefer the leopard to these though


Kumatan fishnets!
I think me and Bloomzy changed our minds about these at the same time hah
We were both uncertain about them to start and now both own them lol
She mentioned to me she gets a lot of compliments for them too
I wonder if it will happen to me too hehe


Border jumper
I got this for half price on Mbok, I can kinda see why
It did seem too good to be true and I guess it's the material
It's, just odd lol, not what you'd expect from this type of item at all
I can't describe it or think what to compare it too
But well, it's cold and it fits. So I can't deny it here in wintery England!!


and finally...

Kumatan mug ♥
This is a novelty item in Japan, you need to spend 50,000yen to get it
But obv, I can't do that so I had to Mbok it hehe
It's so cool, I couldn't call myself a W♥C fan without it lol

Thank you StacyWahh ♥

Many thanks to StacyWahh for the sweeties! ♥
Recently we made a swap for things only available in our countries
She sent me and my boyfriend such yummy things

I should have snapped a picture on my camera and not just my Blackberry
But we dived in haha, though were trying to pace ourselves hehe
Butterfingers, oh lawd... they are nice!! I want!!
and I'm shocked they're Nestle, I persumed it was British only
Since there is a depot for it in a town not far from here heh, oh well
Hopefully anything Nestle we sent her isn't available in the states ♪

She also wrote me the loveliest card IN THE WORLD ♥
Please visit her blog Stacywahh @ Blogspot ★
and not just because she is lovely, but because her blog is awesome!

I feel so lucky to have got this, at the moment there are 4 million parcels
That are just, stranded, here in the UK
Christmas post is so ridiculous and I'm so worried
Because I've items from my Sales post, Christmas presents
and a parcel for Bloomzy and her boyfriend
That are likely to get caught up in all this （*ＴдＴ*）I hope it will all be ok!


and I can moderatly justify my sweet indlugence since we now have a Wii again
Last year the console we had was mine which I bought when I worked at a game store
and since it was mine, I sold it for Vivienne Westwood sale items haha （＾＿－）☆wink
But one year later with no Wii fit and I gained 2 stone
Proof enough for me that it works and I need it back lol, we have the Wii Fit plus now too
So I weighed our fat dogs, she's 2 stone in weight. oh my!
and shes rather heavy, so thats the amount of heaviness I need to lose again

Here's my Mii looking like a fatty haha
Do you like my bowl cut?

New layout

Hey everyone my blog transformation has been completed!

As much as I loved my Kumatan infested layout
I just felt like having a change and a girly glitzy style this time hehe

With many thanks to Amelie for the gorgeous header
Its perfect, thank you so very much ♥

Make sure you all visit her blog to help me thank her!

VICTORY IS MINE


This coat was released by TopShop last year, it sold out fast
Then one day it was in stock in my Uni town and I didnt buy it
The next day I changed my mind and, it had sold out! Never to be restocked
But finally, thanks to eBay it is mine ♥
I had searched eBay before but never had/wanted to pay over £200 for it
The RRP was £70 and I only paid £10 more, that I could handle haha

Incase you can't tell, its a sailor theme coat!
When I was in highschool I had a jacket with a sailor collar
It was my favourite jacet EVER, I feel like I am reviving it with this coat heh

I also recevied this in the post!

Give away goods from the (now closed) blog OhSoGlam ♪
Thanks girls! I'm glad to have won such prizes before you left blogging
I keep wearing the hat in the house hehe and the nails are lovely, leopard with hearts
The charm is also the first one I have used in years, so soft and fluffy
I have wanted a fluffy charm for a while now ♥

I can't really post anything else I've got since it's all presents
But as per my life, theres never W♥C far away... and thank god it's payday Friday
I managed to order the lucky bag and other things, damn my ways!

What I wore ★

What I wore ★
When; 7/12/2010
Why; Shopping and Cinema!

Shopping, food and cinema is certainly a hobby
But when I can get into the cinema for free, why the hell not?!
We went to see Due Date since it was almost finishing at theatres
I'm so so so glad we managed to see it since we almost saw Monsters
because it is HILARIOUS! ♥
If it's still playing near you and you haven't seen it, GO GO GO!


Usually these entries have clothing pictures but I never took any
So just pictures of myself this time round...




A co-worker noted I had my circle lenses in
He said he finds them really creepy and they made me look scary
I think they are amazing myself and I'm glad MukuCHU allowed me to have them!

Oh and check me, I managed to sort of get a full body shot...


Messy room and I'm being photobombed by a Christmas present lol
I'll get better at trying to take more body shots
Sounds weird but I was also getting paranoid
That if you didn't see me body, people may think I was a SIF (Secret Internet Fatty)
To an extent, I sure am hahaha but hopefully not too bad (⌒▽⌒;)

I wasn't really going to come online today, having some troubles with 'friends'
and I couldn't be bothered allowing them the chance to have a go
Facebook sometimes seems more of a burden these days!
But after talking about it at work last night
I've mustered the courage to was Juon; Shiroi roujo... wish me luck!

W♥C (and other) 福袋 news...

Since my post about 福袋 @ Shibuya109 webstore
they have all since sold out and been removed
This left me and others with a lot of lost hope for them, especially W♥C
Until now...


Chinatsu updated her blog and the webstore has been updated too
To say that the lucky bags will go on sale through the website to pre-order on 10th Dec!
There is also a variation in the sweater, webstore orders are grey and in store are red
Which is a shame as it seems I will only (hopefully) be able to have webstore version
and I am totally in love with the red sweater!
Especially since the grey won't be too dis similar to the blue one I already own!
Regardless, you know I will be ordering for sure


In other 福袋 news!!
Missed pre orders for other stores? Pass'e has got your back!
Many are still in stock on their website here, there are also a lot of previews on there
So you can see an idea/what exactly is going to be inside your bag
They began selling the Co&Lu preorders today! So if you're a fan don't miss out there ★

According to the 109 webstore, GIFLY and BACKS bags aren't available until the 24th
But, you can be cheeky and get them 2 days earlier, via Pass'e above
Or these rakuten links ;; GILFY and BACKS
GILFY is still a maybe for me at the moment, I want some sneaky info before

and if you fancy your chances, HEP FIVE have lotteries to win!
You can find the stores they are offering them for here
You will need a Japanese cellphone to enter though I'm afraid

Also for extra news, there will be a variety of Liz Lisa bags
Most brands have a cheaper 5,250 bag and an average 10,500 bag
LL will have price ranges from 5,250 ~ 21,000!!

As for going to the stores themselves, I've been reading/asking
and it seems people will queue outside a day before the stores open
So if you are going to go, you will need to go early to make sure you get your bags
I was hoping someone would go to 109 for me to get any bags I missed
But hearing how crazy it can be, I really don't want to put anyone through it
Not for the sake of clothes! Lol!

I hope I have fufilled your 福袋 news needs ♥
and please don't clog the W♥C site until I get mine, hehehehe

Kumatan deco ★

I'm not the best person when it comes to deco!

It requires a lot of paitence and time, which I am too lazy to allow haha
But when I finish a project, I know it was worth while

My latest piece is a back case for my Blackberry...


Using stickers from my first W♥C purchase!
It's seriously took me that long to finish it and it's so simple too hahaha
I don't have stones tiny enough to fill all the gaps but I still managed
to fill most of it which is good, I've a coating of clear nail varnish on it at the moment
So I wont be able to use it on my phone until thats dried
But I can't wait! My phone has been lacking bling so badly ♥

To see more of my deco check out my tag!



Also whilst I'm here, I need to mention to you Latte Bunny's giveaway!
Such generous prizes, including egg magazine and Elizabeth Arden make up!!
★ You can enter here ★


Also, be sure to check out Lucie-Liu's sales here!
She is selling Gal brands (Incl. W♥C!)

Why W♥C?

If you have read my blog from the start
Then you have seen my W♥C collection grow from the very start!

To think it all started with these...
Deco stickers!
I remember my boyfriend playing with the carrier bag
and I even said "Be careful with that, I may not ever own another one!"
How wrong was I?! I have them coming out my ears now hahaha


and well, you've seen it gradually being posted as it's been bought
But as it stands, this is my current collection of W♥C items
Wowza! hehehe, were you expecting this amount?
Maybe it's smaller than you thought?! Rofl (It actually was for me!)

As per I've more on the way and more I've got an eye on too lol
I'm starting to think I need to sell all my none W♥C clothes haha



So, how did it all start?
I tried my hardest to remember it all and as far as I can gather
I first learnt of Chinatsu through Bloomzy's blog when she posted about Chinatsu's new hair
I couldn't really believe that someone who owns a Gal brand had part of her head shaved
I was so bombed down with Gal and its "rules" I never thought I could step foot into it
I felt really refreshed, I think without Chinatsu, I still wouldn't have a lot of confidence in Gal
and I guess my devotion of W♥C can come from that alone! It's my inspiration

I remember seeing the infamous leopard, bear ears coat
and chatting with Bloomzy about the picture of the mens version we saw on Mitsu's blog
and that was my beginnings in my introduction to the brand!

I would often check the website and simply lust
There was so much I liked and wanted but being a student at the time
and not wanting to use a shipping service, I never bothered to try and order anything
and I'm very glad that I ended up changing this attitude and letting W♥C eat my wallet haha
As I mentioned, without the brand I don't think I could have broken in Gal as much as I have done
Though I do worry this comes across as "I need Gal brands to be Gal"
or that people will think that "I think I am only Gal because I own W♥C"
I think it's such a negative way to view this, we all have our favourite brands
and I'm sure everyone has been a devotee to a particular one at some point too!

But changing my style, owning W♥C, starting this blog
It's really helped me feel a lot better about myself and my style!

So I guess, in a weird rambling way... thats why I like W♥C so much
I would liked to have posted code's in this but I am way too lazy today
It took me enough effort to do the collection picture hahaha (⌒▽⌒;)
Now to go and hang it all back in my wardrobe...

and the winner is...
