The Ragged Priest + Remix I made last month

Before I start, a little update about life..
I FINALLY SETTLED ON A HOUSE FOR NEXT YEAR!

the place is massive, with 2 floors, and spacious kitchen and long balcony
i'm sharing with 2 friends, I've already started fantasising about how I'm going to decorate it, how to position the furniture and how I'm going to have massive sleepover parties.

Because my room can potentially hold like 5/6 people sdjhsdhsghsagh

but anyway

this is actually a continuation from my previous Topshop post

After hours of controlling my hunger I still found myself downstairs not for the shoe section but actually for EAT so I could grab a sandwich, but along the way it was hard not to set your eyes on the 3 racks that were taken up by The Ragged Priest~ so many studs and tie dyes everywhere. To be honest, this brand was never my thing, as in, I can't see myself wearing it nor can I see myself buying it. The idea was a bit superficial, no exciting core concept, the 'handmade' thing is interesting but the quality isn't to die for. But I don't know I still sort of like it, afterall it's a successful brand :)

So being the pauper I am, I just took in a million pieces to the changing rooms to sneak pictures HOHO

I really like this top, even though it was a bit see through.. I might make it or something haha

the quality of this top is so bad ;A; but the design is nice.. however I didn't like any of the punk metal bands on them though..

LOOOOVE this so much, it's so warm and pretty, really considered buying it, but it was £50 ;~~;

some weird medieval tunic thing that looked so ugly on me but I tried it anyway :)

I just googled The Ragged Priest's summer look, not sure what I feel about all the pastels and cliche dreamy looks (I hate the wigs) but if it's something you're into, check out their website :)

On to music!

Around a month ago I made a jazzhop (not really lol) remix using some tracks from some of my favourite artists. It's old news now, but I don't think I ever blogged about it... Anyways, here is the final work and also the original tracks I used :)



Originals:

Consider My Love - Kenichiro Nishihara (ft Pismo)


Kondor - Tribute to Nujabes


Alva Noto - Uni Rec


Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto - Trioon I


Right now I'm working on a dream pop instrumental (which was actually supposed to be a remix of Twin Sister's 'I Want A House', but I cba isolate the vocals or cover it with my own voice haha)

I'm got a great intro sorted out already, but the body is taking me so long because I had planned to use a lot of tracks by Toro Y Moi (Lissoms and Blessa to be precise) AND instrumentals by Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie Xx, but my intro has a bass riff and drone in a different key which I want to keep. I've tried so many things and I still don't know what to do, but hopefully something will work pretty soon. In the morning I actually remembered a Kuramoto piano track that might work.. haven't tried it yet but I'm lazy and I was watching Up..

But when I get it done and get it reviewed I will obviously post it here :)

ciao xx

Outfit post! See through clothes, Leggings and Japanese brands

Hey guys I'm back with another picture heavy outfit post! Nothing unusual, just what I've been wearing lately :)

So this was what I was wearing when I decided to stroll into Topshop a week ago~

Shirt: Beyond Retro

Vest: The Rag Factory fair

Shorts: New Look

Tights: Primark

Shoes: Beyond Retro

 I picked up this black see-through dress to try on. The material's so difficult to work with, it has no waist tailoring at all, and even if you put a belt around it, it's so plastic and wiry that it just looks like this:

So basically it makes you look 2 sizes bigger D: other than that I absolutely loved it <3

It kinda reminded me of something I saw on Weibo:

even though the white one she's wearing is so much cuter <3

for obvious reasons I didn't get it in the end because the waist area was such an awkward shape :/

the skirt bit was quite pretty though 

errr, it took me ages to decide whether I should flash my underwear here, but it's fashion so it's okay hehe :) but I had to hide my face because i'm a good Asian girl :D 

and sorry i have weird body proportions

 BUT

this see through lilac vest was so delishh, I didn't buy it because at that time I thought it was too see-through.. and really quite tight around the waist, but now I'm thinking it might look good with like a dark bodysuit underneath :( plus it was on sale too... sighhh

pretty shimmery material! 

Actually quite a lot of see through things have caught my eye recently, like skirts, dresses, tops etc~

really pretty right? 

I actually just bought a see through black maxi skirt with opaque black shorts underneath, a bit like this:

but the chiffon material is a lot more see-through. It was so cheap, like £4 I think. Will wear it when the damn London weather gets hotter and take pictures then! To be honest I don't even know how to wear it right now. Some friends tell me to were it with my Jeffrey Campbell Litas and others tell me with converses.. :S

Anyways, on Topshop day I also went into UNIQLO to find nothing special but I did see Kuroki Meisa on the wall so I took a picture :)

damn you Akanishi Jin, I thought I was gonna get married to her

And popped into H&M... guess what I saw???????

my pretty chinese baby Luhan sporting it *wink wink*

Several days ago I also purchased 2 pairs of leggings online, in velvet and a nice skull print~ pics below!

Please excuse my pigsty of a room! It's my uni dorm room :)

I got these wine red leggings on ebay. My obsession with velvet things has been going wild recently, I have a lot of things in velvet, just not leggings! So I got these, after debating whether I should get navy/royal blue or wine red for months.. Now I sorta want dark purple ones too.. D:

urgh, i just want hips

they're a really weird nice colour!!!

And does this galaxy x skull pattern look familiar? Seen it before somewhere?? *wink wink*

lol it's the kitty me again

derpina

I wanted wavy hair but it came out curly D:

Familiar?

Well it's kungfu panda Tao baby~~ <3

Tao is MY baby, no touchy

I didn't know what brand it was until I checked the label and it said 'Virgin Blak'
It was £10 on ebay, a bit expensive but I'm a fangirl I loved the design! (Actually, I do like the design :D)
Here's their website: http://www.virginblak.com/
They have some okay prints I guess!

Also pretty recently, I've been getting really hyped up about several weird DIY Japanese brands, one of which I thought I'd mention here~ It's very very very Osakan, mori and overall adorbs~

Ahcahcum-Muchacha あちゃちゅむ←→ムチャチャ
http://www.ahcahcum-muchacha.com/

I don't know why they spelled it 'ahcahcum' when the Japanese says 'achachum' but oh well :)

The admins update this site pretty regularly, and seriously, check it out. Everything in the site is pretty weird in a good way.. It's like a vintage/played down version of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

It is largely influenced by domestic cats..

I think when I become an old spinster with 60 cats I'll definitely buy the whole shop :)

Oh and live in this house which I found in the Cotwolds:

Yeah.

Anyways, I discovered this brand on Weibo when I saw someone with the cutest cat bag ever, and had to do some intense research to find out where it was from. No sign of any acknowledgement from the West though, even though the whole of East Asia seems to know this brand.

this girl, omg she's all over the internet! i think she goes by the name yuri41, but not too sure

The bag's not on the website anymore, but apparently some still sell it on Amazon.jp~ I searched for agggeeessss, I even went on their official facebook and asked them in Japanese, but noopppee no reply or any idea how I can get my hands on them unless I go to Japan this summer and stalk this shit down

anyways, long ass post, gotta go sleep work! ciao readers xx
