Hello my lovely sunshines,
I know, I know I haven't blogged in forever, but I have an excuse. I've been really sick so blogging or even opening the laptop hasn't been a priority but I'm back and I have an awesome topic to talk about. So about 2 years ago when I first discovered the wonderful world of gyaru or as I like to call it magical-land-where-you-look-like-a-dolly-and-don't-give-a-damn-about-what-people-say-so-they-can-go-****-themselfs :). Anyway back to the topic, when I first discovered gyaru I had no idea where to buy gyaru stuff without hearing my purse cry. But after a lot of research I found a few places and I would like to share them with you and hopefully they help you out :D
First off Circle lenses. Every gyaru gal either she is a ganguro, hime-gyaru or gyaru-kei circle lens are a must have. I know that starting out with circle lenses can be a bit nerve racking. If you have never put lenses on before be patient, and I'll try to do a video on how to put on and remove lenses. So anyway, circle lenses can be a bit scary to wear, especially if you're just starting out as a gyaru. But don't worry. There are a lot of types of lenses in a shapes and sizes. You can start with smaller lenses and more simple designs and work your way up to the bigger sizes and with intricate designs. Here are a few of my personal favorite websites:
http://www.honeycolor.com/
http://speciallens.com/
http://jnkcontactlenses.com/ my first pair of lenses was from this website :D, good shipping as well ^_^
Another thing that is important for a gyaru is of course clothes. Finding Japanese clothes,accessories or make-up online can kill your budget. But I found some sites that sell gyaru clothes and ship worldwide! I'm going to put the links based on the types of clothing that they sell: [ I am not sponsored by any of the stores ( yet at least *fingers crossed they do*) and I personally like all of the stores which is why I am recommending them]
Rakuten, Galstar sells hip-edgy clothing.Reasonable price
Rakuten,DreamV sells the products in 3 categories Hime Hime gyaru dreamv
Hostess,GlamorousGlamorous
Kirei, for more sophisticated gyaru looks Kirei all of them have reasonable prices
Rakuten,Double Heart I personally like this store cause it has EMODA! :D, has all price ranges
Rakuten, One-and-only has really cute and sexy cosplay outfits (naughty naughty :p) reasonable prices
Rakuten,Gold Stage sells really nice accessories. cheap and expensive jewelry
EMODA amazing fashion brand, hyperventilating. I'll talk about it another time. Slightly pricy stuff but very,very nice
Runway High-end fashion. Amazing pieces of clothing. Might kill you budget though...
Lizlisa, Hime-gyaru fashion. Quite pricy but super kawaii! Also has stuff for the bedroom (not in the naughty meaning ;) ) Not the most reasonable stuff I have seen, but very nice.
Shibuya 109, is the main shopping district in Tokyo, and this is the web store for it. It has brand like CECIL Mcbee, Ank Rouge, MA*RS . Basically everything gyaru. Affordable and Expensive things
zipia it's more Ulzzang rather than gyaru since it is a Korean web-site. But still things for gyaru gals to wear. Affordable things, and a bit of everything, cute and edgy.
YESSTYLE I'm pretty sure a lot of people know yesstyle. It's kind of like an online shopping mall. You can find clothes, make-up, shoes,bags everything! Price range is from cheap to expensive.
Now, some websites don't ship out of Japan,or they only ship to the U.S.A. , and what happens when you live abroad?
TENSO is a website that gives you and ''address'' in Japan. Your stuff is sent there and the immediately is sent to your country! But there is a problem with that. It has restrictions as of which countries it ships to. So you can also use MYUS have an ''address'' in the US. MYUS ship WORLDWIDE so you won't have a problem with that.
International Stores for gyaru!!
There are many international stores when gyarus also shop in, I'll list them below and also add their online web stores if they have : ( You don't have to use these stores!)
Cosmetic brands, you can buy these online. You don't have to use these they're just preferred brands by gyarus.
Anyway later babes,
