HAIR TUTORIAL RIBBON-SHAPED UP-DO, ALICE AND THE PIRATES JACKET, BETSEY JOHNSON SKIRT.


Alice and the Pirates, Goth and Gothic Lolita clothing, shopping, fashion from Japan. Cute Japanese street style, cool Tokyo.

I finished watching the Death Note anime and loved it to pieces. If I had a shinigami (death god), I’d only feed him organic ringos (apples)!

Cropped jacket: Alice and the Pirates, from Closet Child Harajuku
Black lace skirt: Betsey Johnson, from Beacon’s Closet in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Skull and bones print leggings, black knee socks: from Hong Kong
Slip-on black shoes: Indigo
Purse: Kiyo, from Wonderland in Hong Kong

Ribbon hair up-do, Japanese hairstyles. Cool Asian hair, how-to video with tips for hairdos.

My ribbon-shaped hairstyle is inspired by a this Japanese hair tutorial video. Put your hair in a ponytail; take away a 1-inch piece from the part closest to your forehead. Split the rest of the ponytail in half; tuck each piece into the elastic so that it looks like a bow. Take the remaining 1-inch piece; place it across the middle of the two parts and secure in the back. I twisted a few strands of hair, criss-crossed them over my forehead, and secured the ends with a pin.

Bow and ribbon hairstyles, Japan hair, Goth and Visual Kei J-rock hair.

I’m still having a grand time with Aromaleigh Makeup. Today, I used a trinity of shimmery eyeshadows: Darcelle, Satin Laces, Amarante. My nails are pastel candy-colored for Easter.

How was your weekend? Can you recommend any hairstyles that might be fun to try out?

    Hmm I've been looking for a hairstyle that's sort of like.. ram horns? I just found this image http://farm4. static. flickr. com/3238/2984494403_c54ccd5f93. jpg

    I really <3 your Alice and the Pirates jacket in that pic! Cute look^^

  • Aki

    I don't quite know how much time/patience/flexibility you have, and I don't quite know how to classify it, but a formal hairstyle I used to use might be nice.

    Pull the hair back into a neat ponytail, and then make little braids from the sections. Like I said, I don't know how easy that would be to pull off on one's own (my mom had to do the braids.), but I bet you could make it nice.

    Oooh, I haven't played around with braids in a long time. Could be a fun look. ^__^
