golden week 2011

I can't believe I haven't been able to blog in over almost two weeks! Well, Golden Week was a little weird this year as it was broken up into almost three parts. 3 days off, work; 3 days off, work; 2 days off, back to a full week of work. Needless to say I wanted to rest a lot but ended up busier than I expected.

may 01
Went out with Caroline and her lovely Momma in Sunshine City! Hit a nice family restaurant called Casa and stayed there for a while eating our omurice and drinking way too much melon soda. Caroline's mom reminded me a lot of my own mother so it was really comforting and homey to be with the two of them.

Had my nails done at Carry again! I should really start asking Someya if I can start taking pictures of the process and such from now on. She and I created this design on our own and she took a picture for Carry's catalogue.

Oh! And I had no idea until after I left but the whole time I had been sitting next to the egg model, Aina Tanaka! I had no idea who she was at the time but here is the set she had done that day. Her hair color was gorgeous. So thin, too.




Later that day I met up with Ri and her friend Moa in Meguro so we could hit a family restaurant and talk "business". By that I mean, mostly boys but I also needed her professional opinion on business cards and such as lately, every time I've been introduced to a new designer or musician, I had no business cards to show them. Which I thought was kind of unprofessional? Regardless Ri had some great ideas as always and it was so great to get her opinion. Had such a great time with her and Moa!



Swedish candy! We won't talk about the licorice XD

Moa & Ri ♥

I want to out to the IKEA in Funabashi for the first time with the intention of buying a desk. I bought it. It's gigantic and I built it all by myself. I'm more than proud.



may 05
Hung out with my friend Rebecca for the first time since before The Quake! Straight hair again that day and epically weird weather that made me completely incapable of deciding what to wear.




If you think I wear this hat too much you're probably right.

We hit Baskin Robbins, and Donki to search out some circle lenses but I honestly don't know if I can do it. I really want to but I'm so wary to drop 5000 yen on them and then not be able to put them in my eye.

Instead I picked up the BVLGARI Omnia I'd be coveting since I used dish's in March. It makes me feel like a rich, sexy person even though I am neither.




After that we headed over to Nabe-Zou so I could have my first shabu-shabu experience! I have a terrifying ability to eat epic amounts of meat when it comes to things like shabu-shabu or yakiniku. Oh. There was also lulzy purikura.



Over the weekend I went to a show with Ri and Moa but I'll put both that and this past weekend's live into a music post tomorrow. 

I'm sorry I'm so behind on blogs!  

Going to spend the rest of tonight catching up! I was miserably ill last night and could barely get out of bed today so I had to take a day off from work but tomorrow it's back to the grind.

extension rhythm @ takadanobaba

Finally finished editing the pictures from my new extensions! I wanted to dye my hair a light strawberry blond a-la my new idol, Ide Reiko but unfortunately my work told me extensions + blonde hair all at once was a little much.

However, I still really wanted to get extensions again as, contrary to what you may think, or well at least for me personally they're much easier to handle in the summer than my own hair because messy braids etc almost always look cute.

A messy outgrown bob? Not so much.

This time I went to Extension Rhythm in Takadanobaba. They were having a spring campaign that gets you 50 pieces just below your bust for only 8800 yen! I had her curl them day of for an extra 500 yen.





Hell yes I am abusing the hell out of retro PS tutorials. Please excuse the fact that I'm holding a sandwich in the first shot. There's a Starbucks between the station and my house and I was starving.

The next day I tried straightening them again and...I almost think straight is more flattering on me?



What do you guys think? Straight or curly? 

I'm also super torn on what to do with my bangs. I like this side-swept look but I don't know if I should get them cleaned up or keep letting them grow out a bit. I tossed around the idea of blunt bangs but I don't know if I can pull them off with my face shape.

Opinions?
