Ivo Pogorelich

Short post, but I just want to introduce you guys to this amazing pianist if you haven't yet heard of him.

He's called Ivo Pogorelich, a Croatian pianist, known for his eccentricity and fabulous style haha

Actually, he's known for being eliminated from the 3rd round of the International Chopin Piano Competition in 1980, because the boring judges thought his style and behaviour on stage was inappropriate. I mean I seriously laughed at the last bit, guess they couldn't handle his fabulous self. Well at least Martha Argerich acknowledged that he's a genius and left the jury in protest. If I was her I would have done the same tbh.

He's definitely a genius, and his playing, I can't describe it, just go listen to these:

At the end the bitch face he gave the audience!!! omg this man is perfect


lol the way he entered XD I just don't feel the nerves when I hear him play, even though this is an international competition

hair flick at the end :D

but in all seriousness, he is a really good pianist. I especially like his Bach

stress relief piano music

It's 7 days before my exams start so I've been trying to study intensively. Still got loads of work to do, mostly practice, and everytime I look at my practise papers just reminds me of the stress times I had during my A Levels. I did further maths, so that means literally hundreds of practise papers to be done. I was completely dying and not coping at that point, but now in uni I don't want to repeat that sort of hopeless feeling, so I made a piano playlist on my ipad and listen to whenever I feel like crying lol.
There are two songs that I particularly like, both new age, I thought I'd share it here:

Reflection I - Song Kwang Sik


Eversince - Yiruma

Good luck revising everyone, it's not too close until the end! I've already planned what I'm gonna do everyday for 2 weeks after the exams lol Orion string quartet is coming to London adfsasdfdsjhfsdhf;ashdfashdfahdfasdf;akshfksadhf

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

Outfit post + Puffy 3 Tone Brown Circle Lenses (load of selcas lolol)

I'm back for another outfit post!!

Technically I should be revising, but I looked at my camera today and saw that I took these shots probably last week (still during the hols), so I thought I'd post these today because I've got another set of outfit shots to do which includes 3 different looks!

This is basically what I wore on a random day a week ago. I like how my tights go with my shoes, but don't know about the blue shirt under the jacket... Nonetheless I tried wearing these blue glasses, and I really liked how they looked with all the blue items! Need to wear them more :)

My camera wasn't in focus for ALL of them D:

Jacket: East End Thrift Store

Blue shirt: American Apparel

T shirt: Miyavi London gig

Tights: Primark

Shoes: Beyond Retro

Glasses: Camden

my cat self is back! need to give it a name...

I have pudding head already, so I bought a new hairdye...

I love using foam hair dyes, only because the colour is a bit more washed out.

This one's called 'Champagne Pink' from Freshlight, I heard it turns your hair an ashy pink brown, which sounds amazing (I don't want pink hair, I want a pink undertone. In Japan they call it ピンク系).

My hair won't actually turn this light, because it's not bleached to begin with. It'll be much darker and browner, but just a little bit ashier :)

Next, onto my newish circle lenses! I got these Puffy 3 Tone Browns from Honeycolor absolutely ages ago (before I started uni I think, so that's a longgggg time already!) but I rarely wear it because they're legit circle lenses: they do a LOT of enlarging. I normally wear 14mm ones which is only a little bit bigger than my normal iris, so it looks completely natural in size. These ones are 14.5mm which is HUGE because for me. I bought them because I know they are known for their opaque colour (ie, the colour shows up really well on dark eyes), but I've only worn it to dress-up parties and clubs. But recently I wore it out for the first time and it didn't feel that bad. They definitely do feel thicker and bigger, so I'm still not sure whether I'd wear them on an everyday basis... 

But here is what they look like! Excuse the selcas. I haven't taken some in ages and I went a bit overboard LOL

So as you can see they're a greenish, hazel-y brown colour with an orange inner rim. There's a very thin limbo ring on the outer rim but to me it looks completely normal compared to normal black limbo rings. I wouldn't say they look natural because they make my eyes look MASSIVE and quite alien like. It actually scared me a bit because I know my eyes are a lot smaller in real life haha. I love how they look in the greyscales because they're so light!

I also ordered 2 new pairs because Honeycolor did a promo since I always buy from them XD

I ordered the Neo Queen Browns and Beaucon Shimmer Greys. They look like this:

Neo Queen Browns

I think these look a lot more subtle. They're a bit more hazel-y than the Neo Glamour Browns, and has green undertones, which I like. I have the Neo Glamour Greys, which dramatically changes my eye colour to an icy grey, but in a natural way lol. The limbo ring is sort of broken up and very thin. They're a lot more honey coloured than my current everyday pair: the Geo Tricolor Browns, which is 14mm. Neo Queen Browns are 14.2mm, so it should be a bit enlarging but not as weird as the Puffy 3 Tones above. I'm really looking forward to them!

Beaucon Shimmer Greys

To me, they're basically exactly the same as the Geo Tricolor Greys, which was my everyday pair before the Geo Tricolor Browns. Except for the fact that there is that greenish inner bit again (I like greenish eyes haha). I wanted to get a grey pair because my Geos were already like 2 years old and I hadn't worn them for around a year so they've definitely soaked up all the minerals from sitting in the same eye solution for so long. I wanted to get ones which are a lot more subtle than my Neo Glamour Greys, which are not only grey but ICY grey. I've NEVER tried Beaucon before so I'm both excited and nervous! I hope they're not too thick and uncomfortable... Before I got the Freshlook Hazels, which are the most GORGEOUS colour but so uncomfortable because the outer ring with so wide D:

So today's post is done!!! I've got another outfit post to do as I mentioned.... Maybe I'll do them later or tomorrow or something! Gotta do more maths now :D xxx
