Delyle Noir Fur Coat

Just a few days before I received my new coat from the Japanese brand called Delyle Noir. It's absolutely gorgeous. 

Matsuzakaya Department Store Shoe Shopping

This weekend, the famous Matsuzakaya department store (since 90 years back), located in Ginza, opened it's doors for the last time. In 2016 a new shopping mall will open up at there. Matsuzakaya had a big sale this weekend, so I went there with my boyfriend. And not did I only find one, but actually three pairs of shoes. The total cost for the shoes was under 6000¥!!!

I really like these sandals! I think the price was around 2100-2250¥ ?

It's got really good quality as well.

These shoes were sold for 2150¥
It has been approved by an editor at Vivi (some of you might have heard of the magazine)

The price for these shoes were... hold on... 1050¥!!! 

They do look very similar to the black shoes.
The difference though, is that they are a bit higher, and has leopard print. 

I'm totally satisfied with my purchase. And I can't imagine finding this kind of sale in Sweden.. at least not for shoes with this good quality! I think everyone should try out bargains here in Japan. Although the Japanese women are like crazy (and scary) during bargains, it is totally worth it. Especially considering about the amount of money that could be saved. 

Japanese Fashion Magazines

Some dasy ago I purchased my favourites Japanese magazines. The august issue of Happie Nuts & Jelly, and the july issue of Blenda. In Sweden Japanese fashion/beauty magazines are really expensive. Around 2500-3000¥ each. Whilst here in Japan I paid less than 2000¥ for these three magazines. Of course it is possible to order the magazines online, or I could even ask my boyfriend. But it would take too long before I'd receive it.. (yes a bit impatient lol) .

The Happie Nuts issue came with a handy mirror from SLY

 (some of you might have heard of it before, I hope) .

 It was good timing...

 ...since I've been thinking of getting myself a new pocket mirror.

From Happie Nuts.

From Jelly.

From Blenda. 

Do you have any favourite magazine from Japan? Which, and why? ^^
When I was younger I liked Egg, Vivi, and Kera, a lot. But now-days I have more interest to these three :)

I love that Japanese fashion magazines always contains how-to-guides (hair, makeup) , and that they are very thick . Wish we'd have more like these magazines in Sweden (-_-;)

✩Some Inspiration✩

As the weather is getting warmer, it is time to renew your closets.

Here are some pics from my fav. magazines Happie Nuts and Blenda (may issue), and also two pics from Egoist's Facebook page.

♡♡♡ I love this springs fashion ♡♡♡  
It totally reflects my taste.

I don't know about you guys, but I always find so much inspiration by looking in Japanese fashion magazines. But then again, who doesn't??

Introduction

So, this is my first post. And what could be better than starting off with an introduction? My blog is still under construction so please be patient about it's appearance
(^-^;)。。。

For the short story, just read under "about me"

Well anyway, my name is Amanda, 20 years old, soon to be 21 (in less than a month.) I live in Sweden, but spend quite much of my time in Japan where I visit my boyfriend. My boyfriend is Japanese and I met him in the autumn of 2011 during his one year as an exchange student in Stockholm. Having a long-distance relationship is quite tough but I keep my optimism. I am studying ATM via distance courses, therefor I have the opportunity to travel much . But as soon as I've graduated I'll move to Japan to attend language school.. which will be awesome I'm sure.


I am in love with food ♡ to cook and eat many delicious things.. it's heaven! And what I love about good food is that it gathers people. I'm not afraid to try out new food, even if it is something people in let's say for example Sweden wouldn't normally try. In my opinion trying food is an experience, it could be both good or bad. I do love baking as well.. however recently I haven't done it much since the stove I have right now is very bad.

Fashion and beauty is something else I enjoy much. However when being a poor student, it can be hard  to manage the money. I'm sure some of you can agree with me (^o^). Recently I started trying out natural products instead of expensive beauty products.. and surprisingly enough it works better than I expected. Actually, in my opinion it has worked better than any matching beauty products. So perhaps I'll give you some recommendations  every now and then.

I guess this introduction is enough for now. If you would have any question feel free to ask me ^-^ And thank you for taking your time to read this.

Until next time.
