Summer Make Up Inspiration

My First Mori Girl Make Up Look (and new bangs)!

BEFORE:

So, yesterday afternoon I was sitting in my room and studying (by which I mean procrastinating by looking at my mori kei pinboard). Finally I threw up my hands and said "Enough! I need bangs, and I need them now!" So I went to the bathroom and cut them in. Then I looked at my sink with the bottom halves of my locs sitting in it and I said to myself, "What did I just do!?"

They were sticking out all over the place, it was horrible!

But after a night in foam rollers,

my bangs were looking satisfyingly adorable, so I decided to try out some make up too and I am VERY happy with how that turned out. I'm going to have take some time next weekend to do a video.

Inspired by Music

The weather is warming up and that's making me think of some of my favorite artists who might be playing concerts this summer. Here are a few outfits I wouldn't mind wearing to see Kendrick Lamar, Orion Rigel Dommisse, Cold Specks, or Best Coast or mind wearing while I'm just running errands and listening to their music.

Spring to Summer 2013 Inspiration: Mori/Natural Kei

EDIT: All my images broke! So I had to find new ones and rewrite this post. :( 
A lot of the mori/dark mori coords I enjoy are made for winter. In fact, fall and winter are my favorite times of year for fashion because of all the layering and details (even though I enjoy summer weather more). So I've had to take up the quest to find more weather appropriate options. I hope you enjoy this new and improved post! :)
