Instagram probably took over my blog

So I haven't really been posting anything since I started University. 
Most of my OOTD's end up on my instagram, 'cause I must admit it's easier to do so. Other than that I busy myself with a lot of University related things, because everyone at University always is having fun.

Anyways, this years J-popcon is going to be a special year! 
I've been going to J-popcon since 2009, so this is my 8th year going (technically it's seven times at J-popcon, since there was one year where they moved it earlier in the year after), so it's kind off a tradition. 
But this time I have more scheduled at J-popcon than just the J-fashion show at friday (of course I'm still a part of that with Fairy Decora). This year I am also part of an copydance Idol group called Sekai Girls, where we're going to performe at saturday from 17.15, so please come and watch us!

Also, I did say it's been 8 years I've been going to J-popcon, but this year is going to be my first year ever cosplaying! 
I've never cosplayed 'cause it didn't really say much to me and I didn't have the time to do a cosplay (and I'm bad at sewing), and I always thought buying one was expensive and not as good quality I wanted. But this year I bought one with my roomie! It was of nice quality and not that expensive! We're going to cosplay as a pair from Gakkou Gurashi at sunday (the day is not set, but sunday would be best both of us thinks)!

So this years J-popcon is going to be crazy busy and very different from the rest of my years!
I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah, this is mainly what I wanted to say, just to give a brief update now that J-popcon is getting closer!

Another year went by


Hello everyone!
So it's been FOREVER since my last post! Actually, half year. It's insane!

I started slacking off from the blog because I got Instagram in that periode.. One of my friends told me it would be perfect for me (because I like myself way to much with all the selfies I take, haha!), so I got it on my phone.
I must admit it's easier to show ones outfit on Instagram like that, it takes way longer to write a post here on the blog than just posting a fast picture in the morning.

Oh well, the year 2016 have been full of a lot of things! I moved out from my moms place and moved in to a very nice apartment with one of my friends from the school Bosei, it's very close to my work and my University!
Oh yes, I also started studying Japanese at the University. A dream finally happened there! Therefore I'm going to live in Japan from the middle of 2017, I'm very excited about it!
I think that's the two major things that happened! I'm doing well, and I had a nice christmas as well as New Year! 

If you want to be extra up-to-date on my fashion (and fun times in life), then watch my Instagram! I'm called Lolomus_Ortega :D

Pastel pink and purple dots


I made this design a long time ago. I just wanted some pastel colors on my nails, and making dots is one of the easiest nail designs EVER. At least it is for me.

It gives a nice happy feeling with pastel colors, and it fits the most of my clothing (Fairy kei stuff).

For the blue I used Color Club - Meet Me At the Rink, the purple dots are made with By K - Lavender Blue and the pink dots are made with By K - Trolley Dolly.

A Fairy Kei outfit for a meet-up


Once again there was a meet-up with Japanese Fashion, but this time it was a mixed meet-up for all kind of styles! Not just the "sweet" styles but any type of style could show up. 
We held the meet-up because the Purikura machine will start costing money from the 1st of July. Or more correctly the museum it's standing in will cost money to get into. So no more free Purikura pictures.

I showed up in Fairy Kei 'cause it's comfortable and it doesn't take as long to get ready as Lolita Fashion, and I wasn't really up for either Lolita Fashion or something like Himekaji that day.

I also invited one of my co-workers to the meet-up because she likes Japanese and Japan, but she doesn't know much about the fashion styles. I lent her some of my Fairy Kei clothes (The non-brand casual version of Fairy kei, 'cause I'm very senstive about my brand stuff and the things I bought in Japan) and "dressed her up" for the meet-up. 
It was a really fun day and I was wearing my favorite Fairy Kei outfit.

The shopping list:
Accessories: Claire's, 6%DokiDoki, the bag is from Swimmer and the face glitter is from a 100円 shop
Dress: Sango
Outer Kimono: New Yorker
Leggings: Kvickly
Knee-high socks: No Fall
Leg warmers: Deichmann
Shoes: Deichmann

Fairy Decora from the Fashion show of J-popcon


This is the second year where I attended the fashion show of J-popcon, a Japanese convention held in Denmark. Because I want to show another Japanese style than Fairy Kei I attend with the Japanese fashion Fairy Decora.

Fairy Decora is a sub-style of Fairy Kei, and you can't have Fairy Decora without Fairy kei. The style of the clothing is the same as in Fairy Kei; pastel, light and fluffy, you just add a lot of accessories! Just like in the Japanese fashion style Decora.
So it's two styles combined in one! It's a very happy style and you feel like a toystore when you wear it, at least I do.

The show was from March but I first thought of blogging it just recently, my bad.

The shopping list:
Accessories: 6%DokiDoki, Chocomint, Claire's and lots of stuff from when I was a kid
Shirt: Listen Flavor
Skirt shorts: Liz Lisa
Outer kimono: New Yorker
Lace hoodie: Ank Rouge
Leggings: Kvickly
Knee-high socks: No Fall
Leg warmers: 100円 shop
Shoes: Deichmann
