Vogue Girl 日本

       Magazines on mobiles are mad convenient, especially when they are over-seas magazines that are damn expensive. Like $100+ for subscriptions wtf. I've been really obsessed with this app ever since I learned about it. It provides HQ photos of the magazine right in your phone, even flips the opposite way because of it being a Japanese magazine. Authentic and efficient!

(ph. via personal iPhone app)

       Aren't you dying over the 5th photo? So beautiful! Reading Vogue Japan is really refreshing, seeing the real life scenarios of believably cutely dressed girls doing things like shopping, meeting at a cafe etc. It's also nice because I can expect to see people that I idolize such as Kosuke Adam (7th ph), Mademoiselle Yulia (7th photo) and Kiko Mizuhara. 

       I think you can find a lot of inspiration through this magazine because of that, not that reading American Vogue isn't a joy, but it does touch onto my demographic a bit more. It is youthful but not so youthful as Teen Vogue. Even there are story pieces featuring the bold pink letters and romanized Japanese; really cheesy dialogue but funny. 

Enjoy this image heavy post of some of my favorite pictures of this issue! 
Isn't Japanese style A+?

(I was not paid to promote this, I genuinely love it and recommend downloading the app!)

Happy Birthday America

In order to celebrate, I've dug up these photos of Eriko Nakao with a really cool hairstyle. It counts, cause it's patriotic and stuff. You're welcome. I knew you would enjoy it.

Having really boring days lately. And really unfortunate days lately. Constant shift of happiness with company and depression when alone. Having trouble with a class currently but we can't win them all… wouldn't that be nice. Who copes with the heavy feeling of failure? I'm not really the type to take that as an, "Oh, it happens to the best of us". To even say that, it is a little naive, I think. That is a broad assumption based on, what? Self-reassurance most likely. Of course, I will get over it at some point but it is very fresh and it is hard to not constantly think about it and feel pathetic.

Ending in a lighter photo, not so grey and bleak k. Cam-whoring is a little fun even if you're down.
