Spotlight on Jamie: kawaii

Sweet Disposition

♫ Sweet Disposition - The Temper Trap ♫

An avid-reader friend of mine recently told me that she already misses the girly kawaii me. If you're an old reader of Spotlight on Jamie, you would know that I used to wear a lot of pinks, skirts, bows, and all that girly stuff. However, after some mood changes and a little bit of ageing, my style shifted to shades of red and black and edgy stuff.

But don't get me wrong. I still love kawaii stuff, and you would notice that I'd still put a hint of cuteness on my outfits, like kawaii socks and accessories.

So recently, I've decided to wear something girly because honestly, I'm missing it too! And I've got loads of kawaii stuff in my closet just waiting for me to get worn!

I built my outfit with this kawaii slouchy beanie from The Green Tea Enthusiast Shop that I've been obsessing with for weeks now. The GT-E Shop is run by a 17 year-old tea lover from Manila and a Tumblr blogger, Ida Siasoco. All products sold in the shop are crocheted accessories 100% handmade-with-love by Ida!

I got this beanie customized by Ida. I personally picked the design and yarn color (this one's in Artist Print) to be used with my beanie. You can have it with bows or pompoms, but I sticked with a classic type slouchie. Other than beanies, they also sell bows, scarves and cozyheads. Can't find the right design/color for you in their product list? Don't worry! You can order a custom design product by just sending a photo or description you want and have a crochet accessory no one else has!

I super love the color of the beanie because you can easily match it with lots of color that's in it! With this outfit, I chose shades of magenta.

Matched my floral top with floral socks too! Got this floral see-through socks from Japan at Copo socks store. And of course, it should be paired with a kawaii platform sneakers!

So what do you think? Should I wear more kawaii outfits more often? Let me know your thoughts on the comment box below! ♡

Back To School

I'm totally back to school! Can't believe that it's just the first week of the semester, yet I'm already stressed out! Start with our super-ka-duper stressful and disappointing enrollment system, queuing in hours but just end up with closed subjects and unwanted schedule. *sigh* Anyway, I'm still happy to be back in school. Going back to the city of Naga and seeing my friends again, it's such a great feeling.

I so love the first weeks of every sem, because we're not required to wear our uniforms yet. It means, dressing up everyday! *hooray for that!*

For my back to school outfit, I was inspired by Tokyo Fashion after being addicted to this online magazine full of kawaii outfits! Japanese fashion is just so adorable. They can match everything up, from prints on prints, textures, and lots of colors, yet it would still look great. You'll never look over-dressed in that place! Oh how I love to live there someday~

Bring Me To Paris

At first, my peg for this outfit was a girl going on a picnic in a park. Didn't notice that I looked like a girl travelling to Paris until the shoot. And hey! Do you remember my Keep Calm and Snap On look? This is the girly version of that! ;)

"I'm Madeline, I'm Madeline

And though I'm very small

I'm Madeline, I'm Madeline

And inside I'm tall!"

Can't help but to remember Madeline in this outfit and photo! And the lyrics really suits me well! Hahaha.

Top: OASAP | Skirt: Thrifted | Oxfords: Thrifted

My favorite top from OASAP! I've worn this a couple of times already. I just love how this top can suit in many different styles, like indie, classic, and girly of course! Even a laid-back outfit can make this fab. So irresistible bow-knot and lace details!

Floral skirtsies from a thrift shop in Naga. This was originally a long skirt, just made my mom cut it so it would look cuter and more me. I really avoid wearing long skirts because it makes me look shorter. Fashion tip! Showing more parts of your legs will make you look taller. Avoid strappy shoesies too, to add more height and length on your legs. *wink* Now you know why I always wear skirts. Hihi.

I really love this bowler hat I bought in SM, kids section! Hee.. Perfect for outdoor events, like picnics!

Keep Calm Lomo necklace from Fingertip Accessories

If I would be in Paris, I would really keep calm and snap snap snap on! Ahhh~ when will that day come? *u*

Bow ring and crochet bow bracelet from Fingertip Accessories

My cutesie picnic bag! I shall show you my collection of picnic bags some time! This piece is I think the third picnic bag I'd bought. Found this in a Japan thrift store in Cam Norte.

Thrifed pastel Oxford shoes

And look who joined in our photoshoot that day...

My mini me!!!

Don't we look just so alike? Hee.. Thank you so much Fingertip Accessories for this awesome surprise gift!! Never thought can be in a clay accessory! It's just so adorable, I can't even asdfghjkl~ Hihi. :3

You can order your mini you or mini love ones too! So perfect for the Christmas season! I'm sure your love ones wouldn't resist the cuteness of this too! *u*

Oh, hey! Here's my A-Fash sisters with their pastel-themed outfits too! We recently made a Facebook page for you to easily get more updates on us.

Sexy Laces

Well, maybe I'm already growing up. Heee.. or at least trying! I may look like a kid most of the time, but hey! To tell you, I'm already 19 years old. :p A lot of people are telling me that I really don't look like my age. But now that I've realized that it'll be just a year and till I turn 20 (nooooo!! TT____TT). Maybe I should try to get out of my cutie aura comfort zone sometimes, and try to mature a little. Hihi. :>

Skirt: Sassy Pink Shopp iDesigh by Juvy | Top & Shoes: Thrifted

See? I'm being fierce this time and had a courage to do this pose. Hahaha. So do you think I look like my age now? loljk :))

I built my outfit in the lace-y skirt from Sassy Pink Shoppe iDesign by Juvy. So bad, I forgot to had a closer photo of it. I really fell in love with this skirt because the detail is really sexy and girly at the same time. Just perfect for my style! I also adore this online shop because of their classy designs. Kudos to the owner, Ate Juvy for her great designs! I noticed that she's very updated with the fashion trend in the European countries, so I'm telling you, you can always make sure that you won't be left out in the fashion trend in their shop! You can check out Sassy Pink Shopp iDesign by Juvy to know what I'm talking about!

Wore a ring that Fingertip Accessories really knows how to do, being girly and sexy! With their expertise too, laces! *u* Wore a classy necklace from Mel's Collection too.

Thrifted sexy pumps

This photoshoot happened last month, when us A-Fash had our very first photoshoot outside the campus. Yay! Thanks to Sassy Pink Shoppe iDesign by Juvy and Kawaii: Photo and Printing Services for making this all happen. I really enjoyed this shoot because all are really cooperative and we seemed like were just having a picnic in a park. Hee.. All are so light and fun to be with, especially the Kawaii team. I even helped in the shoot by holding the reflector because I was so amazed with it. Mehehe.

With my A-Fash sisters and the people behind this photoshoot, Ate Juvy and the Kawaii team! Totally want to have a photoshoot with these awesome people again!
