Rinka’s Barefoot Dreams Parka~~




Mike found a US site that was selling it! It’s called What She Buys. I like how they even explain who Rinka is, hahahaaa

Onto “my boom”~~
Boom, meaning what’s popular right now; but on a more personal level it means what YOU’RE obsessed with at the moment. It’s hard to miss “BOOM” sections in any magazine these days. I figured I’d do a little コーデ (code short for coordinate or コーディネート!) boom post. I’ve been doing a bit of online browsing looking into buying a few things from Japanese stores. It goes hand-in-hand with my resolution for 2010.


My resolution
I have been thinking about it since the summer really. Having to buy new clothes that fit me better and all too. I’m a bargain hunter, through & through. I’ve bought lots of things I only sorta liked only because it was on sale. I feel I wasted a lot of money on buying clothes that were a bit like what I REALLY wanted. Often times it ended with me having a bunch of tops and bottoms I rarely wore. Why? Because they weren’t EXACTLY what I wanted in the 1st place! What is it I really want???? JAPANESE BRAND CLOTHES OF COURSE!

I never bought any using a shopping service because it seemed terribly expensive. But then I realized just HOW much I was spending every weekend on clothes I only sorta liked because it would “remind” me of something I had seen in Vivi, Pinky, or Popteen. Honestly I think it’s gonna even out, if not even be cheaper in the end! Because the second thing I want…. less clothes. I know that might sound crazy, but a part of me sort of misses the college days when I was so limited. It made it easier, swear to god! And not only that, I have these random things in my closet that don’t match with anything else! Ugh, frustrating!

And then I see models who’s style I admire (Nana is my BOOM at the moment, LOL, followed by Jun Komori) and they don’t really have this over-flowing closet either. They’ll wear the same pieces in different ways over and over. Sorta like those 14 days coordinate spreads, haahaa! But really. I’d rather have 5 amazing coordinates I adore rather than 50 pieces of clothing I only sorta liked and can make a few nice coordinates from.

OK, onto my fashion boom!

ジェニイのブーム

Super Distressed!
Heavily distressed jeans, shorts, skirts, everything!!!!!!!!! I love it all! Natural blue jean, bleach jean, black jean! It all looks great distressed! LOL







Colorful Overalls!
Overalls [オーバーオール] Salopette [サロペット] or whatever you like to call it are easy, ready-to-go full outfits if you ask me! Jean or corduroy! Both are nice! I’m really into the pinks and mokomoko [モコモコ] styles of this winter mostly.





This pair of mokomoko overalls I REALLY, REALLY want! But so does everyone else because it’s sold out on various websites! :F No wonder either, it was on the cover of the December issue of Popteen. It’s from WC!


This pink, striped, AND distressed pair of overalls from Rose Fan Fan is perfection too! Also sold out *meh*



Do you like this Cocolulu pair? I hope so because I submitted an order for it! It measured up to what should be a good fit on me and I like the worn coloring on the knees. It’s corduroy too so should be warm! It’ll take a while to arrive I’m sure but that’s OK. So begins my adventure into shopping services!




I wanted to add more booms! Like my obsession with the brand WC, but that’ll have to wait for another day~

I was hoping to be packed tonight, but fail. I’ll have to do it tomorrow night, no choice! I’m still finishing up my laundry. Thankfully I had yesterday off work due to the snow so I was able to clean up the house.
