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

Posted by La Carmina on March 16, 2009


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've tried doing a similar hairstyle, but I always end up looking like Princess Leia! DX But I think a ram horn hairstyle would be fun and cute <3

    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.
