Happy Thursday Cupcakers!
I used to love this time of the week, back when I always had weekends off, now I love it because it’s…once again……yes, Trend Day.
In celebration of my visit to the Hyper Japan Christmas Market, this week will be focused on a subculture close to my heart- Kawaii fashion.
I have always admired anyone who managed to make themselves look so cute, like a doll- and as you all probably know I have been obsessed with Bratz and Barbie dolls since I was a youngster. But it’s only at the second year of my degree that I looked into Japanese Subcultures more closely- and what I found I fell in love with.
I have only picked one designer for this trend, Moschino. It was back in the Spring/Summer 2015 and this collection stormed the catwalk. It was chic, kitsch and soooo Kawaii. This has got to be one of my favourite collections of all time! Since then it seems that brands across the high street have had a Kawaii injection, everything is so pastel and cute.
I have picked 3 online brands who have a range of Kawaii-licious products that will leave everyone with a sweet tooth.
First up is online giant ASOS, they always have some great products from great brands.
This Lazy-Oaf Faux Fur Duffle Coat is super pastel, I love the pom poms and panels. for £180 I’d wear this beauty every single day of winter.
Up next are these unicorn socks for a teenie £8. You’d have to wear topless shoes so the horns stick out.
No Harajuku ensemble is finished without a nails painted a cute colour!. If you don’t like to wear fake nails or are lucky enough to grow long enough natural nails then this OPI Hello Kitty nail varnish for £12.50 is puurrrrrrfect.
Finally from ASOS are these gorgeous relaxed fit jeans by Wah London. The little bow embellishments are to die for! Super adorable.
Now we have Claire’s Accessories. I’ve loved this high street bigg’un since I was a tweenager. The cutesie products and even the layout of each store has always fascinated and inspired me.
Every Kawaii outfit would not be complete without a cute hair accessory. I usually go with a hair bow. This aqua sequin number is only £5. Steal!
For those of you who wear glasses or those who cosplay and wear coloured contact lenses, this cheeky kitschy contact lense case is a perfect place to keep them safe. £5.50 as well!. 😉
I love wearing stick on nails to events where I cosplay. So these neon pink glittery beauties are something even Barbie would look twice at. £6.
Last but not least is new (ish) on the block, one of my favourite online retailers in the entire world. Dolls Kill. This online shop is always on the cutting edge, forever pushing the boundaries of tongue’n’cheek. They ship worldwide and sell unique items I’ve never seen anywhere else.
First up is this tasty strawberry pie sheer blouse by Melonhopper for £53.93 ($ to £ exchange rate)- it’s super cute and looks so comfortable. You can layer up with a little vest top, or if you’re feeling bold. Wear a cute little Kawaii-style bra and be really cheeky.
These Little Twin Stars Qozmo Lo platforms by Y.R.U are literally the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I would be ecstatic if I owned a pair of these bad boys. They’re a mixture of Spice Girls meets Barbarella meets mermaid. And at £114.96 a pair- I wouldn’t need to buy any more shoes next year at all.
Up next is this Miss Kika Pizza inspired sweatshirt by Japan LA, the chibi on the front is the cutest character for a jumper. I wish my anime character was on a sweatshirt. 😀 £63.43
Finally, add a splash of sparkle with this Pink Pegasus cosmetic glitter. I always have a tub of glitter with me at events (just in case I need to Mica Cupcake-ify people!) and this pot by In Your Dreams is just right.
This has been my favourite Thursday Trend day so far. I hope you’ve all enjoyed reading this pastelicious article ❤
Stay Stylish Cupcakers!
