Knit knit knit ... for summer??

 Hey cuties!

We've been pretty busy thanks to work and Clairey's exams and making lots of exciting things for our shop! However, we still would try fit in a bit of knitting through out it all 🐑. In a previous post we shared our inspiration for Gyaru summer knits and last week we finished our first knits for the summer and had to wear them straight away!

Also this is my new hair colour (Amy)! I much prefer it to the peachy strawberry blonde and it's lasting much better too. I took a lot of inspiration from Aisyu for this hair colour and I think it suits my style much more 💖

Clairey here 💛 Yayyy so today's look is featuring our summer knits we finished! And we both went for a very beachy old school gyaru theme. I was particulary inspired by 2000's gyaru with the hair and bright colours. I made my knit based of an old school Cocolulu piece I found. Being me, I totally went for all my neon yarns and mixed and matched them all the way through. The key item of my coord was the knit; so I matched my rainbow Disney balloon shorts with and I think they go really nicely ^^

I'm so happy with this look. I totally want to continue this tan beachy vibe. I was so excited to be dressed back up in gyaru after having to take such a long break due to studies 😭 I went for warm hues on the eyes and underneath brought in a deep blue as if it was a sunset on a beach. I just wanna be somewhere warm okay 🌴

Amy here, I'm so happy with this knit 💖 I crossed the straps to make it extra Y2K sexy but also to match the criss cross gyaru camisoles and bras. Of course I had to make it in pink my favourite colour and I chose to add to the layering element with the fake playboy diamante bra straps. I wanted to wear one of my new D.I.A belts but I only have black ones which clashed too much so I went more y2k with the butterfly belt 🦋 With this bralette I wanted to emulate the D.I.A bras and make it a key point in my outfits and layer with them.

I based my outfit of Aisyu I love her style so much 🌞

Of course I had to try Clairey's usamimi on 🦓 To match my hair and outfit, I chose to do pink eye make too. I really enjoyed my break from work and being able to wear gyaru again 💖

We're already onto our next knits too and by this post this photo is already out of date 😂

Also if you haven't seen from our banner we commissioned some art from this look from the crazy talented @froggie.hat on Instagram 💕we love it so much it was time to make our blog banner more gyaru 💋

This summer is totally going to be hot gyaru summer vibes 😘

Denim Disney Coords & Kanako Inspired Hair~!

 Hey cuties!

Sorry for a bit of radio silence! Clairey's exams have been happening and Amy shifts at work have been picking up which leaves us like 😫😬😴

We have also been working on our shop MagicalHarts usamimi launch which has been going super well! We're both so so happy and grateful for all the love and support we have been getting 💖 

Anyway, even though things have been getting busier we still managed to take some time to do a gyaru look as we miss it so much 😭 Especially after Clairey finally got her hair dyed kanako style!

Clairey here 💛 Kanako from Egg magazine has for a long time been one of my fave gyaru magazine models. Both her and Romihi are pretty much the reason I am gyaru. I love how fun and colourful they both are and Romihi is the queen of having creative hair herself. Kanako's hair and her style in general feels really warm, beachy and summery to me and with the yellow like lemon swirls I just had too 😍

Here's the pics from the hairdressers! I originally have dark brown hair so lifted it so it would go a bronde colour and spliced the yellow in throughout. I got to learn how to do these little plaits there so cute 💕

Onto the look!

So I will be the first to admit, I totally shopped Amy's wardrobe for this look! 😂 Ahh the benefits of having a twin 💓 Not only did I take her stuff, I copied her too as Amy was the first one to buy this skirt and I totally bought the same one after! I tried to match and coord the colours red, black and white throughout to make the outfit flow nicely.

Wanted to show a close up of my eyemake cause I really tried to have fun with it. As I said before I'm really feeling fun spring beachy vibes so went for a green into orange crease and yellow lid 😍 I feel like a tropical soda can.

Belt- Tralala

Skirt- ASOS

Amy here, I bought this skirt based of the D.I.A middle split skirts and I'm so glad I did they are so wearable and versatile. And now me and Clairey can twin too. Since we we're already twinning with skirts we decided to also twin and do a Disney look and finally wear our ears too! My ears are valentines based and have little heart polka dots💕. To carry on the hearts theme I wore my Tralala belt that I'm so glad I kept hold of all these years 💖.

Also I changed my hair and already changed it again by the time I'm writing this post 😂 I got my hair cut and lifted and dyed to a cute pink strawberry blond but by the time of this photo it faded 😔 But now I got it dyed again in a colour more permanent 💜 Also Gyaru tip wearing big lashes and doing under eye highlight hides your tired eyes 😂 

We're both really excited for summer and warmer weather and plan to do loads of different looks! Lets hope life lightens the load a little so we can fit them in 🌞.
