WHAT I WON'T WEAR #1 THE BARELY-ON-BEANIE.

First of all I just want to say, "fair play" to all those who are rocking this look. I just don't really understand it and wouldn't ever wear it. Here's my explanation why with the help of MSPaint.

Yep, I'm talking about wearing your hat at the tip top of your head so it's barely touching your scalp, leaving the majority of the hat wasted fabric.

I'm tall enough as it is (probably 6ft but in denial about it), so to add about 20cm of extra height in the form of a unused hat shaped a little bit like a baby's bottle just doesn't appeal to me.
However, adding that height with a huge pink bow I may consider. ;3

I've been told that the man who started it all was T.I, and the hip hop scene have been doing it for decades and that's pretty cool...

But so have gnomes.

rockin'

Maybe it's because I'm from a cold country where hats are needed 70% of the year. But I have to admit I can't wait for this to go out of style - sorry! Here's another reason brought to you by MSpaint~

I know that most of these reasons have been about practicality, and there is that. But I wear glasses with no lenses in - I'm not known for practical dressing (honestly ask anyone who has met me even once). I just think it looks a wee bitty silly, there I said it... But you never know, one day I might be wearing the barely-on-beanie (with it's awesome name I just made up now) and then you can tell me to eat it.

But What do you think? Can you prove me wrong? Comments below or via twitter please !!

OUTFIT POST. #1

Just a little post to show you 2 of my current favourite things from Rokit, combined into 1 outfit. Efficient huh.  =P

I know what you're thinking: Does she wear those shoes ALL THE TIME!?

Answer~ Pretty much yeah... for the moment, they were an early Christmas present (so still bathing in novelty) and they're comfy so I don't care, m'kay?! (^_^)

[Also someone who came into the shop today insisting that I am in fact a mermaid said that I was pulling off the shoes very well... so there. Hah] 

Faux Fur Coat: Rokit
Kimono: Rokit
Scarf: ANTA Scotland
Shoes: Jeremy Scott X Adidas

This is what I wore to work today. When planning my outfits I'm often reminded of my mum on Skype, when she was about to send more of my clothes down to London, picking up black tailored trousers and white shirts saying "This would be good for work!"
And me thinking to myself "you really don't know about my work huh =P".

And that's just one of the reasons I love my job!

"Oooh and I love my fur coat!"

I'm usually not too much of a fan of faux fur, my opinions on fur are probably going to get myself covered in paint so I'll keep them to myself... unless asked....

What I will say is that faux fur isn't sustainable as it's plastic and therefore oil ~vintage faux is okay though because then it's kind of getting a new life to it. Which is true about everything vintage ~ yippee for vintage!

I will post more things when I get a chance...to take a photo of myself while wearing them. ;P

HALLO-WORK CLOTHES.

For Halloween (and because we won't ever pass up the chance to dress up) everyone at my Rokit in Covent Garden dressed for the occasion.

Fake blood and face paint all round

I L♥VEL♥VEL♥VE dressing up but I'm not too much of a fan of Halloween ~ even though it's become so secular now and it's true meaning pretty much lost and forgotten, I still won't dress up as anything scary.

Kawaii is always better, ne? (^_~)

Pikachu wears Jeremy Scott X Adidas

Although I didn't put too much effort into my costume *confessions* ~it's just a kigurumi[きぐるみ] which are in a lot of Japanese street style shots.

Mamba Gals Love them! 

You just wear a kigurumi over your clothes and it makes you that little bit more comfortable ~ like you're still in bed. :3 And because mine is made of polyester towelling it's crazy hot in there.

It doesn't have to be Halloween or a Japanese street style shoot to dress up though ~ Rokit has dressing up clothes all throughout the year, just pick and era or someone famous and we'll take you there. (^-^)

SCOUTING FOR GIRLS...?

I really love the stuff we get in the store, always fun and random ~ never something that is so easily obtained anywhere else. ;D

Lately I've been enjoying a small collection of Scout Shirts.

The old badges convey an authority in skills like building a camp fire or suggest that you are the 'Den Leader' of your group of friends/work colleagues ~They are so much fun! ^-^

And although it quite clearly states on the shirts~ "BOY scouts of America", the Androgyny style that we all love would would make it super awesome for the gals to rock up these shirts too. 





















Or rock it like it was meant to be rocked.

Rokit I salute you

trudat

For me however, I'm not as cool. I'm a girly girl and I can't rock androgyny. But even for us kawaii cupcakes there are shirts!

It's the same style as the Scout Shirts 

~ Patch pockets + Loose fit.

But these are shirts from different profession/ levels of authority ~so more random badges !!
Yippeeee~

Also because it's not fit for a BOY from BOY Scouts it's a little longer on me. :)

[Please excuse bad iphone photos]
[I need to start taking my camera to work.]

My shirt says that I am
'Motor Vehicle Inspector for British Columbia'
Which I think is great as I can't even drive. ;P

So what do we think? Would you rock a Scout Shirt? And would you try to convince those around you that you earned the badges yourself?
Let me know in the comments or via twitter @kawaiififi

SUPER EASY NAIL ART. FOR REAL?!

If you want super kawaii super easy nails for a day then this is for you~

 I bought this sticker set from the ArtBox store in Covent Garden [www.artbox.co.uk]. I LOVE it in there, so many cute things and often so little time as I usually go there before work. The stickers don't really last, I wore them for Rozzie's wedding but I had to sort them out that day, doing them the night before doesn't work, they just chip off ~ which doesn't make sense... it's a sticker! But no matter how much protecting top coat I put on it started chipping within hours of application. I know I'm not showing these cute little things in a good light but I think that the problem was that I don't have flat nails and these stickers don't like being put on anything else. Also the ones that are meant to cover your whole nail are really small... obviously shows the age group that should be wearing these!! haha :P
I don't care how bad they are at staying on and how much they don't fit ~ I think it's just the cutest 'nail art' I've seen so far.

I wore them a few times just loading up my nails with stickers, here's a more minimalist approach ~ let me know what you think!

MIDORI MONSTER.

So I have green hair now. . .

COOL GIRL NO PHONE.

My phone has died !! 

My super kawaii kawaii cell. (;_;)~waaahhh
And I can't bring myself to buy one that just makes calls + text (no web) ~ do they even make those any more ! ?

Well yeah. . . I know they do because I've been this [--] close to buying one but I just can't do it.

So the number on my card is currently unavailable. [said that the phone woman's voice]

I will let you know when my next one arrives ~ a hand-me-down from my sister's boyfriend is on the cards.


I will have to make that one super cute to!♥♥
