Alba Rosa, Pub and shoes!

Hello again! Last night was my friends Molly, Hope and Jo's birthday celebration at the pub it was also my good bye to everyone as I am on holiday for the whole summer. I don't really know how, but I spent most of the day looking at pictures of Pin and Angeleek and I just ended up wearing all my Alba Rosa and doing a nose stripe. Recently I have been tanning more and more as I am desperate to be able to call myself Kuronbo (96gal) I'm sick of being Shiro! 

Before people start telling me that Sentaa (my look ended up looking a bit like it) is dead, there are still a handful of Sentaa left in Japan so it isn't dead although most of them graduated last year. I also uploaded pictures of my new shoes I bought last week! They were £40 from River Island and they have a "hidden heel" which means they look like normal trainers but in fact you are much taller. LIKE MAGIC. 

I thought they would be super comfortable ... THEY ARE NOT. THESE THINGS ARE EVIL AND I LOVE HATE THEM! I wore them for ten hours walking around London, not doing that again!




The heel is about 4 inches I think and makes little me about the normal height for a guy! I also got my mum (how embarrassing) to do my nails for me, I wanted something simple that will last until Finland (OMG I AM LEAVING TONIGHT I AM SO NERVOUS AHHHHHHHHHHHH) We went for black and white to match my outfit :)
Nails <3
 I had to keep my outfit quite plain as most of my stuff is about to be packed, but I whipped out all my Alba Rosa ready for the Pub :)
My outfit
 Coat: Alba Rosa
Top: Alba Rosa
Necklace: Alba Rosa
Jeans: Topman
Shoes: River Island
Sash: stall in London
You can't really see me!
Here are a few photos from the Pub :)
BIG PENIS!
 Hope was actually talking about the giant knife she had to cut her cake ... I didn't realise what was happening when I took the picture and we all burst out laughing when we saw this.

Some drinks
 I drank way more than I normally do and ended up being rather drunk on the way home. My mum said I needed the practice for Finland though.
Drunk me eating chocolate!
 I got hungry after dieting all day ... so I ate my chocolate frog from harry potter. I feel sad that I ate it and sad that I ruined my diet the day before Finland! :(

I'm going to miss all my school friends, it hasn't hit me yet that it's over and that I am growing up. I don't like it! Anyway I should get out of bed and finish packing ready for my flight. OH GOD WHAT IF I FORGET SOMETHING?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!!!!

Okay, Bye! Tobi ^_^ x

(sorry for my weird writing style, I'm too excited about Finland) x

Kurogyaruo, Purikura, Lorraine, Egg magazine and Food! (picture heavy)

Yesterday I went down to London to see my Dad for the first time in about 8 months and to see my best friend Lorraine. I haven't seen my dad in ages because he lives and works in Nigeria now.
My Dad is from Argentina so we went to the amazing Argentinian restaurant (where the vegetarian option is just chips) It was still fun though and so nice to have my family all together for the first time in years. 
We talked about Nigeria, had a fight about the Falklands and then took photos ... unfortunately I have recently started going Kurogyaruo ... and I had a fake tan accident in the morning so you can only see my Purikura pictures! 

Incredible Argentinian food <3 Shame I can't eat it!
My Family x
 While my Dad is Argentinian, they met in Paris (where I was born) so we all talk in French together ... except my sister because her French isn't good enough yet :P she just sat there drinking coke.
Trafalgar Square, London.
Beautiful city :P <3
 Then after Lunch with my family I went to meet Lorraine for Gyaru shopping, Purikura and to catch up after not seeing each other for ages ^_^ Lorraine is normally a Manba but yesterday she wasn't feeling too good so she dressed more casual (but bitch is way more tanned than me!!!)
She will kill me for putting this picture up!
 We went to a little expensive Tapas bar thing near the Japan centre that we always end up in for some reason. I had this yummy tomato on bread thingy and Marinated olives ... Lorraine had some weird meat thing that looked like the stuff you find down the back of a sofa.

It was yummy!
 They don't sell Gyaru magazines in Finland so I did a little shopping trip for some people, Men's egg for me, Men's egg for Alex, Jelly for Marinka and Egg for Viivi. :)
I also bought myself some special paper you use to take grease off your skin without ruining your makeup! It's amazing.


Lorraine also gave me some presents, An Alba Rosa necklace (she has one too, they are now our friendship necklaces because we are cute and childish) this Alba Rosa top (I need to lose a few more pounds so I can fit in it better) and some lashes :) So I bought her a little Stitch bag that said Disneyland Tokyo on it ^_^ x 

AND NOW FOR THE PURIKURA! <3

Gets for Finland and Outfit Post. D.I.A BELT AND SHIT

Okay! It has been a while since I have done a real post. It is now 21 days and counting until I fly to Finland and less than two weeks until my last two exams. Everything is quite panicky at the moment and I can't quite keep up. Today I went shopping with my mum to put my Finland money in the bank and get a few little things. Here are the things I bought.


1) Okay I didn't buy these today but I needed to include them, my mum gave me these sandals for the summer as I don't really have any summer appropriate shoes. I really like them even though they are quite painful. I am planning on using them for some Kuronba inspired outfits while in Finland.
2) Vogue was on offer and I haven't bought it in ages! So picked up Vogue for only £2.
3) Sunglasses, as I don't have any and the sun stays up for a very long time during Finnish summer and I am planning a lot of hangovers so these are a must have!
4) An eyeshadow palette from Makeup Academy (yay cheapness)
5) Finally I decided on what colour to dye my hair this summer, I am just going to bleach it blonde again as my roots are horrendous and I want to change my two tone hair. No idea what colour it will go! but you know ... YOLO. 



Sunglasses and eyeshadow close up
 Also my Alba Rosa coat came last week! It is so comfy and I love it. It is in surprisingly good condition considering it only cost me £30 including shipping from Germany. My friend Riku (formerly Tiia) has the same coat. I can't wait to meet him and Project Q this summer while in Helsinki.

Now for a ridiculous picture of me. Chronic bitch-face is an understatement. I look so happy to be here. Lol well here is my outfit shot for the day. Sorry it isn't very detailed. It was gyaruo inspired but I kept it simple ... because I couldn't be bothered to go full out just for a quick trip to the shops. Ugly hat because I didn't want to do my hair and sunglasses because I wanted to try them on and I am wearing no make-up and I am between contacts. 



Coat: Alba Rosa
Top: All Saints
Jeans: Deepstyle
Chains: London Chinatown Market
Boots: House of Fraser
Gloves: Paris Fur Stall
Sunglasses: Tattler
Hat: from my distant past, just found it in my cupboard.

In other news I just bought a d.i.a belt ready for my trip to Finland and for my Kuronba, old school gyaruo inspired summer wardrobe. I will post better pictures when it comes but in the mean time here are the sellers pictures.

I did have a rather long internal struggle as to whether to buy this belt or not but in the end I think I made the right decision, won't know until it comes haha. 

That is all for now, but I will be buying and modifying clothes and working on my hair and makeup in time for Finland so expect more posts very soon. I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays and for those, like me, who haven't finished yet GOOD LUCK with your exams! 

Until next time, Tobi <3 x

Illness, Gets and Summer Plans!

Ok I have quite a lot to say in this post so sorry it's long and pic heavy.  I  havn't updated for the last two weeks because I have had a serious case of Hand, Foot and Mouth disease. It actually sounds like something really gross! it's not don't worry It's basically just a virus that causes a bad fever, rash on feet and hands and lots of sores and ulcers in your mouth. Unfortunately I have a very serious case so it has caused a bad throat infection and suspected ear infection and cough. Perfect timing considering I just missed the last weeks of school ever and incredible important revision. I am on 22 tablets a day and just had 6 bottles of blood taken for tests this morning but I am on the mend now I hope! 

Anyway, on to the interesting things! Some gets :) Technically I didn't buy this first one but my amazing friend Amélie, bought us these cute matching his and hers underwear for fun gyaru twinning times this summer. She bought us the navy skull ones and I am looking forward to lots of fun girly sleepovers and naughty sunbathing in these.


I wasn't actually planning on buying anything at the moment because of my summer plans but an Alba Rosa coat for £30 including shipping is not the kind of thing you can say no to. I have wanted one of these for years! It's very rare to come across one nowadays and they don't make them any more so my best friend Lorraine (she is a super cute uk Banba please check out her blog) and I are trying to collect any Alba Rosa we can find. She has a pretty extensive collection already lucky bitch. It is so comfy and a perfect size and is definitely going to become my winter coat.
