Cotton Cloud Summer Debut + Busy Days~

Oh gawd~ I apologize for not blogging for almost a month now. Ugh things had been hectic during internship... And I got a bonus on my first day in ICU, my CPC (Clinical Placement Co-ordinator - they are the people who guide us and look after us in the hospital since there are no teachers there. So basically they're like "teachers" note the open/close quote) looked like as if she wanted to eat me for basically not knowing what was going on... Well hell, how would I?! It was my frickin first day! I didn't even get a chance to look at the patient properly... Jeez~ I hate her really, whenever I see her face a dark dark cloud just suddenly appears above my head... (=_=)

Moving on to a better topic! I've been wanting to announce since forever that Nozomi was going to open her own fashion line called "Cotton Cloud". I just never got to it, I kept on forgetting plus with my schedule I never had a chance. You know the way how Nozomi loves her Maron-chan and Luna-chan so much~ Cotton Cloud are clothes for ladies and clothes + accessories for your little baby doggies that are designed by Nozomi herself. At the moment it seems to be geared more so towards your pups, but she does have some for us (ladies) but there's not much choices compared to the pups.

Nozomi has been advertising her Line in her blog since last month. To everyone who idolizes her like me~ her Cotton Cloud is now open! Cotton Cloud's summer debut started today via Internet Shopping! You can go here for the official website: www.cottoncloud.jp and here for the shop: www.cottoncloud.net

She modeled her own clothes for the advertisements in both Mina and Non-no this of June's Issue~

Cotton Cloud featured in Minna~

I've decided that she designed clothes better for dogs~ Maron chan and Luna chan!

A few more clothes from Cotton Cloud's Summer Debut~

In her blog she complained about how the spelling in Non-no "Cotton Clowd" was wrong it should've been spelt as "Cotton Cloud" (^A^)

笑っていいとも! Guest Nozomi~

Yesterday, Nozomi was featured in 笑っていいとも!(Waratte Iitomo!) wearing her designed dress and hat which are both up for sale now online! It's simple and lovely but really expensive though I have to say. I love her style and I did visit her online shop and looked at things that were available.

Here are a few pics of the dresses that I love from her shop~

Yep it's what she wore in 笑っていいとも!

It's costs 14,490円 when converted into euro it was around 100 euros (=.=)

The white dress that she modeled to debu cotton cloud in both magazines Non-no and Mina

This costs 16,590円 and when converted it's around 130 euros~

This costs 9,975円 and when converted it's around 80 euros...

The back is low cut~

So at the moment those are the three dresses that captivate me right away when I visited her shop. I love dresses, laces, and ribbons! She has all of those elements in most of her dresses and style there for I love it~

Now with regards to her design, it's simple and pretty casual, light and easy on the eyes. It's really really simple and casual which is good for people who don't want to stand out too much but want to remain in style. However, when it comes down to the price. I don't think I'll be spending 100 euros for a dress that simple... Really it's too ordinary for a 100 euro...

I know that she's famous and all that jazz but really you can buy something that simple half price in either zara or h&m. I LOVE HER DESIGNS and everything I applaud her for that but the price was really disappointing and shocking. It's just too much for those kinds of designs...

But then again everyone has their own opinions right? So tell me what you guys think!

If anyone wants to have a look around Nozomi's designs I'll leave the link below:

Second Day + Tanpons~

Okay so today, was my second day back from internship. It's okay but it hurts my feet so bad from all the standing and walking so while I type this my feet is actually on the wall it works, I actually consider myself lucky since I'm only busy in the morning. Morning rush should I say? But then afterwards it starts to calm down. I did one of the most embarrassing things ever today though.

I was supposed to give this patient some medication, which was in this injection like container. I took off the cap and I didn't know that it had another cap on that I was supposed to pull. So I went to the patient with a smiley face. He knew what it was for since he's dependent on it, but I did tell him again just routine. So I injected the medication at the belly, and some of the meds went out...

He was looking at me with the "What the hell are you doing?!" because he cannot speak. And I knew immediately something was wrong because he kept checking his stomach looking for where the needle went in. Which of course I didn't see and I thought you won't see it. So since he looked at me incredulously I decided to check with the nurse.

Alas, I found out it had another cap and I just wasted the medication that didn't go to the patient but spilled out of the cap due to my pushing... Ugh I felt the heat climb up from my neck to my cheeks... I was soo embarassed. But my teacher was graciously enough to tell me that it's ok. Gawd~ I am officially an Idiot!

Anyways, I was reading through Popteen. I like Popteen since the colors are really flashy and playful. I used to go for that kind of style fun, playful and cute (childlike cute) but with my childlike face I just looked even more less my age and even look more younger. Since the people who would work at the cinema or buses would give me child fair tickets. Thinking I was around 12...

But I do occasionally take some inspirations from Popteen specially their dress and skirt coordination are really good and unique. But today while I was reading through it, I saw a topic that really I guess not surprise me but more of thought "Why..."

My First Tampon Q&A

Popteen is teaching you about how to put the Tampon in and what not. There are some question and answer portions as well like "I want to take it out but I don't know how" or "It's painful" etc. I thought at first, I got these lesson from school in our home economics with just the girls in one class at my junior high days. Don't they teach it in school? Why publish it in a magazine? A Fashion magazine nonetheless. But I guess some readers would benefit from it anyway so I'd give popteen a thumbs up for being helpful enough and strong willed to teach the ladies about it.

But then when I read further on, I found out why they used a whole page on a tampon... They were actually advertising the brand! (>.<) really clever I should say! Got the industries these days are getting even more better and trickier!

By the way I just noticed guys that you're not able to download the scans, I'm going to try and disable the no right clicking so that you can download the scans that I post in a bigger version.

(^_^)

Flower Prints & Overalls~!

Ah~ I'm getting better than I was the other day! (^o^) Now all the problem is my blocked nose. But after that no problem! But then my week off is almost over (T.T) on Monday I'm going back to my internship... Which I have mix feelings about~

Anyways~ went out today and watched Alice in Wonderland!!! I know it's really late since it's been out for a while now. But this was the only chance that I had? After being sick and all people crowding at the cinema I couldn't get a chance.

Alice in Wonderland I thought was okay. It wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be but

I guess it was alright. On the other hand Johnny Depp ♥ was amazing as per usual! The red queen (Helena Bonham Carter) was great as well!!! It's not a SUPER good movie but it was Good enough.

Although I have to say the Alice in Wonderland merchandise are cute and are really enticing to buy~ I was tempted...

It's an Alice cosplayer! He's a cosplayer from Deviantart that I came across in the google search page. If you want you can visit his Deviantart account just click on the link below!

Afterwards I decided to go around and look for some flower print dresses and some pair of overalls. I've been wanting dresses with flower prints even overalls yet I haven't found any just yet (-.-")

I was thinking of getting something like what Lena's wearing in this picture. Denim overalls, it seems really comfy specially add on those cute pumps and your all set! Easy and Stylish! I was thinking if I couldn't find any of the denim ones I'll settle for the flower. But I couldn't find any at all! I went to H&M, River Island and even Topshop... I guess I have to wait for a while? If not order from the internet.

I found a lot of flower printed dresses though, but the colors were to dark for me. I want a bright colored one~ Like the one from my previous post. I think have too much dark and dull colored looking clothes that I want to divert and at least mix my wardrobe this year.

I did find a mixture of light flower printed dress with lace on. But the sizes were to big for me, so I'll try and look for another one in a different branch tomorrow~ Hopefully this time they'd have my size~ (~.~)

By the way~ Scans are from Vivi April issue!

Lena Fuji & Fashion Boom~

Today I went out with a friend for lunch and catching up. She wanted to eat in a Japanese Restaurant so we ate in Yamamori and I ordered Kakuni and Ramen. It's just braised pork belly, it was good specially their sauce~ It was my friend's first time eating there and she really liked it! *(^o^)*

I wore this today, layered white dress with lots and lots of layers underneath that checkered polo "(~.~)" it was cold so naturally one had to be prepared! (^.^)y

Kakuni~ Mm (*,*) I had to laugh when my friend asked me "Is that... Raw?" "(~.~)"

I suddenly find myself falling in love with Lena Fuji once again after watching her latest photo shoot in Vivi. I used to love her before Nozomi, she had the same feminine style but she gives of this more womanly whereas Nozomi exudes the charms of a lady. But for some reason that I can't remember I have fallen out of love with Lena. But now I'm back~ and she still has the same style that I love "Feminine" style.

I have to say Lena in the Polka dot dress + Red shoesies is cute♥ no?

These Scans came from the April Issue of Vivi~♥

Today I noticed the recent fashion boom here are the denim polos~ I actually contemplated on whether to buy one or not. But in the end I didn't... Honestly though right now I'm still thinking if I should. I don't like buying things just because it's "in"right now. Also the reason why haven't bought one right away because I know it's not my style and I've been thinking if ever I do buy one... Which of my clothes should I pair it with? (-_-")

Lately around town there are a lot of girls wearing them even in the mannequins in shops~ It's seems good with dresses and skirts. I'm a big fan of dresses~ that's why I'm considering... Btw, the scan on the left hand side is from non-no and the one on the right is vivi both are from april issues.

This one's from Vivi I absolutely Love the green flowery one piece that girl is wearing. That color is exactly what I've been trying to look for when it comes to flowery clothing. Although flowers aren't as recent as the denim polo, since flowers came out last year. They are still one of the top sellers when it comes to skirts and dresses. I guess it's because of Spring and Summer!

I used to think Flower patterns would absolutely not suit me at all, specially with dead colors. But I decided I want to challenge myself and actually prove myself wrong. So I'm planning on buying flower patterned dresses as well as one piece one's since I'm really captivated by it; but

with lively and bright colors. Dead and dreary colors takes a way a point from getting the cute lady feminine look.

Hospital Blues~

I'm at the hospital right now just waiting for dad to be released from the recovery room. He had his surgery done (gallbladder removal) this morning. I've been thinking of whether to update my blog or not but I've decided that I would (-3-). So since this morning I've been on the edge of my seat since mom has been blaiming me for things that I do not have a control over... Hmph, and it's really making me angry~

So finally for those who have been waiting for the next chapter of "My Dear Slave" I finally updated!!! Weew!!! *'*'\(^o^)/*''* Hope you guys enjoy reading it!!! Please don't forget to review!!!

Then from my previous post about my preetty idol Nozomi Sasaki, I promised you guys pictures to compare her style in Pinky and Non-no. Just to lessen the confusion if ever the scans on the left side are from Pinky February 2010: Final Issue and on the right side are scans from Non-no's February 2010 Issue.

So let us start!!!





















I don't know if it's just me, but I still prefer Pinky's style in comparison to Non-no or maybe like I said I'm just not used to Non-no. But since were talking about comparing Nozomi's style from Pinky to Non-no, I'd still go with Pinky.

Pinky just gives Nozomi this really feminine, elegant and cutesy feeling. Whereas Nozomi in Non-no is more edgy and a tange of boyish in it. Although the feminine feeling is still there (I'd say it's because of her face and smiles) it's not as girly as it is compared to Pinky. Plus the style in Pinky are much more lighter and airy. I don't know about you guys~

I'm still satisfied anyway as long as I get to see Nozomi and maybe just maybe if I keep subscribing to Non-no my style might start to change as well. (-3-)

Flying back home~

I haven't been updating as much as I'm supposed to be but at least I'm trying right?（￣～￣;)

Right now I'm at the airport updating from my phone just waiting for the plane. I'm flying back home for dad's surgery. He's taking his gallbladder out because of some stones present in there. So I'm going to be absent from my internship and I have to pay it back during my summer. Which is really bad in my opinion.
（￣へ￣）...

But anyways how about we move on to a different topic! After I saw nozomi on non-no's cover of their February issue. I've been having some questions forming in my head but after I checked nozomi's blog! It's official!! Nozomi is now one of non-no's permanent model!!! After pinky ended their magazine with their February issue; which I actually find very disheartening! Pinky was one of my favorite all time magazine along side seventeen, non-no & occassionally vivi. Pinky though was def my fave out of all since my style is more on the feminine and cute side. Pinky was exactly what I was looking for. Non-no signed nozomi up as one of their models and naturally nozomi accepted the offer ♥! I'm actually glad that she did because I was wondering when and where would I be able to see nozomi after pinky!

But since she's back in business that means more of nozomi!!! Cross fingers (I hope!) (*≧▽≦)!!! I actaully flipped through the pages of non-no's February issue. Nozomi's style changed and I'm not quite sure if I do like that style on her. But I have a feeling it's just me still getting used to the different style non-no has compared to pinky. So I'm going to give non-no a chance after all nozomi is in it! So no complaints made~

I might scan a few pages of pinky's last issue as well as nozomi in non-no if I have a chance~♪ (o*･ω･)ﾉ
