Recent Coordinates and Make-up

Hey guys~
It's been so long since my last coordinate post, so without further ado...

Top: Glad News
Vest: Juriano Jurrie
Skirt: Topshop
Tights: ALTA
Legwarmers: tutuanna

Onepiece set: Juriano Jurrie


Top: Pop Gal
Skirt: Pop Gal
Tights: Present from my sis

I had seen a preppy look like this on Rakuten so I bought all the pieces and tried it out. The cropped sweater was actually a bit too big, but it's comfy so I'm not complaining. I'm thinking of buying a blouse to really make it pop, but I'm not sure if I like this look 100%

Sara-Mari and I had been talking about tights that were made to look like thigh high socks, and when I took out a Christmas present to wear I found out it was a pair of those tights. They really work with a preppy look and keep your warm in the Winter freeze - bonus ;D

They're on sale in a lot of stores here, but my sister bought me them from the UK. So they're easily accessible.

Blouse: Honeys
Headband: Emoda


Hair & Make-up now...

Just a simple up-do I wanted to try - I really like it and I've tried it a couple times since then. I have been pairing it with headbands but I recently bought some ~kira kira~ and a mini tiara for a different look. I'm a little new to that kind of look though, so if anyone has advice etc. please feel free to comment.

The first eye make is from the 'Mode Foremost' coordinate, where I wanted something more 'natural' - something that I had seen in a few magazines. Just bronze shadow with upper and lower lashes, with only a little bit of eyeliner.

The second eye make is from the 'Glad News' coordinate. I wanted a smokey eye, so I used grey shadow on my upper lid and a navy on the lower. Of course, upper lashes and lower - I bought the lower specifically for the Me2 (Honeys coord) and they're slowly growing on me. I like a more dramatic look, but not all the time.

Finally, I bought a kit for DIY 'gel nails' - what do you think?
They're not amazing, but practise makes perfect ;D
