Hairstyle inspiration compilation post.

Last time I did a hairstyle inspiration post was at the beginning of Autumn, and now it's Winter alreday, so maybe it's time to get some more inspiration.
This scans come from magazines such as Tomotomo, Fudge and Zipper, which always come with lots of interesting resources.
You can download these magazines in the magazine download page.

Tutorials, tutorials, tutorials, I thank the magazines every night for them!

Not a tutorial, but wouldn't it be awesome to style our hair like it was some deer's horns?

Short, medium and long lenghts included, you'll find some inspiration for sure!

Cute Tomotomo models are cute♥

How to wear accessories with cute hairstyles (winter usamimi!).

Plus, a few 5-days hair-coordinate, very interesting.


There are a bunch more of pages I included in this zip file you can download over at the magazine download page, so don't think this is all the inspiration you're going to get from me today!

So, where does your hair inspiration come from? What do you like to do with your hair? Are you the lazy type, or hair is what you care the most about your appearance?

Ooops, forgot to write a title! Ok, just a few hair shots!

Hair trends this year are, scarfs, usa-mimis (bunny ears) and trendy headbands including feathers, ribbons (that never gets old) and ethnic motifs.
So SCawaii got its hands on it and put up a few tutorials on how to style your hair with all these hair accessories.
They're all super nice and easy to do!

Scarfs. I've already got one from my mom (more like I secretly borrowed it...) all green and summerish. It's just super big! So I'm not too sure when I'm going to be using it D:

Bonus!
I just love this one piece, looks like a dress, but the bottom are pants!
So cute nonetheless.

Bokeh. Bokeh bokeh bokeh.

I randomly found about bokeh half a year or so, maybe more?
Bokeh is a word that means blur. But in an "artistic way", where you play with the light and make shapes with it in its blurry state.
It's pretty fun actually, even if my attempts fail a little ^^' .

Here's what wikipedia says about bokeh.

In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".

I admit I'm no expert, and I may not have the right objective to take bokeh pics or anything, but it's still nice. So I'm leaving you with some nice tutorials about bokeh. And then, my own pics (you can find lots of pretty examples if you type bokeh in google, so I won't bother posting here other people's work).

There's also people who make special "lenses" (not really, they're just paper covers) with diferent simple shapes, like a heart or a moon, so the lights in the pic take that shape too.
Here are some tutorials (this one is for photoshop, but is nice too).

Leaving aside the artistic touch bokeh gives, it's a great way to add more depth and impact to a picture.

Hair tutorials

I haven't been feeling like doing anything lately (except for getting things ready for the first giveaway haah), not even posting (D:).I think it's due to the wheather... it's starting to get hot here and this always turns me into an (even more) unproductive person.

But! I know the more I keep being like that, the less I'll post.

So here I bring my most favorite hair-tutorials from magazines.
I really like to read any kind of fashion magazine (as long as I find it interesting), I don't care if it's aimed to gyarus or mori girls, from sweet to indie. If I like it, I'll read it. So that's what you'll find in this selection, hair styles from a lot of diferent magazines and styles.

This second one is so tricky to do!

I like intrincate hair-doings a lot!


Braid hearbands are super cool!

I love the first girl, she's so super cute!

Also, here's the last hint about the first giveaway!

aahaha yay me for bad-quality-pic from webcam

I'll write all the details about it tomorrow, but this is the first part of a bigger giveaway (with bigger news too!).
Hope you all get as excited as me for this all!

Magazines. 2nd edition

I've got tons of topics and ideas for posts lately, but I just downloaded these two mags *ahem* and so I felt the urge to post about them!

First one talks about Mori interior design!
And second one is about dolls, with super pretty blythe on the cover, so enjoy the cuteness!
(you can download the whole magazine throught the link on the title)

Mori interior and lifestyle book. Mori girl room
Not summer styling yet, but not too far!

Lace, wood, lots of books, crafting materials here and there, the obliged camera, green (plants), glass. Obviously since one's own room is the extension of your own self, like choosing your style is too, an interior book was a must. And this one is pretty nice.

Two of my fav shots. I'm definetely cleaning my cork board and putting there all my necklaces and shu-shus!

This mag features the ABC of the mori girl, kind of, so it shows quite a lot of mori-ish objects, motifs and ideas.
I love how they talk about general stuff (like lace, keys, fur,...) and in-between they talk about Q-pot specifically. So Q-pot is to Mori what, for example, Lip Service could be to Gal? Nice.

Mori also loves hand-made, so lots of that too.

With lots of shops where you can go (in Japan ahaha) get your mori needs.

I've already written about Made in Colkinikha once, but super lightly, so I'll be doing a more in-deph post about it soon.

Dolly doll

They talk about all kinds of dolls (well, not ALL, but all that are trendy like blythes, pullips and dolfies for example, even some barbies (but bleh).

Also has some snaps of rements and animal-like dollies. It's a great source of inspiration x3

I've seen the frog-doll a few times in pupe, and people really do cute things with them! I wouldn' mind getting one!

The mag features some tutorials too (patterns for clothes, making doll furniture, even one for sewing a bear!), which is one of the things I love the most in a magazine of any kind!

So, what are your fav magazines? Do you like to read them online or you prefer the paper thing?
