Shibuya Girls Runway ♥

The Shibuya Girls Runway was a fashion show featuring the Spring/Summer 2013 collections of Dip Drops, rosebullet and LOVE BOAT, organized by Onward Kashiyama. The host for the evening and his very...interesting costume.

Shibuya Girls Runway, featuring Dip Drops, rosebullet and LOVE BOAT. 

Show started with Dip Drops. Lots of denim in their collection.

Followed by LOVE BOAT. Love the mix of black x striking florals!

More from LOVE BOAT.

Finished off with rosebullet. Love all the feminine colors and details!
The sleeves, the cut, the materials...♡

 More from rosebullet.

My favorite outfit from the entire show, the final one by rosebullet!

There were more outfits, but I couldn't capture them all/ some were blur... 

From the catalog, some items from Dip Drop's new collection, lots of pretty pastels, florals and denim~

The theme of rosebullet's Spring/Summer 2013 collection is "Dreamy Marble Land".

Like Dip Drops, it also features lots of lovely pastels, florals and denim!

Door gifts for the event, came in the envelope on the left. Two mousepads, one pretty pastel one from Dip Drops and another from rosebullet.

LOVE BOAT just recently launched in Singapore, while rosebullet and Dip Drops have been around for awhile. LOVE BOAT is a Shibuya 109 brand! It's great that more 109 brands are coming to Singapore, like EMODA, Spiral Girl and Peak&Pine, though none of my favorite brands are here yet! Hope that maybe one day Liz Lisa, oneway, Lip Service, rienda or Egoist will come to these shores too...

MARBLE Collection 2012 in Singapore

MARBLE Collection is a fashion entertainment event showcasing the kawaii fashion cultures of Harajuku, Akihabara and Shibuya. Last year it was held in Shibuya, and this year it came to Singapore on 11th November at the Max Pavillion, and was part of AFA 2012! ♥ (Posts on AFA 2011 here, here and here) Needless to say, it was amazing! ♡

This year's lineup of models featured Pikarin (Shiina Hikari, 椎名ひかり) and Natsuko (松本なつこ) from Popteen; Akipoyo (Ishikawa Akiko, 石川晶子) and Chinpan (Koike Mayu, 小池真友) from Ranzuki; Una, Seto Ayumi (瀬戸あゆみ), Yano Anna (やのあんな) and Yura (ゆら) from Zipper; and Tenchim (てんちむ).

The promotion/opening video.

Evangelion segment!
Didn't get to catch much of this segment on camera though (･ｘ･)

But I got and loved the Shibuya segment, it was so colorful and cute!

Kawaii deshou?
Shibuya team: Akipoyo, Natsuko, Pikarin, Tenchim, Chinpan.

 

Felt like a noob seiza-ing (kneeling Japanese-style) by the stage with my bling camera while the pro photographers had their huge lens (^^)

Performance by Love La Doll! 

They performed two songs, Luka Luka Night Fever and Honey Bee.

Their dances are really kawaii! (♥´౪`♥)

Found their dance tutorial for Honey Bee. (Looks like they're dancing in a salon...interesting ha!)

With the three girls of Love La Doll: Lee (purple), Aya (pink) and Kana (blue).
They also modeled for the Candy Girl segment later.

First part of the Harajuku segment.

Akipoyo 

Seto Ayumi 

The gothic/lolita segment; such pretty and intricate outfits!
They look like dolls ✿

Yura 

Yura and Yano Anna.

Candy Girl segment,
based on characters created by Amano Yoshitaka (天野喜孝), illustrator for Final Fantasy.

Everyone coming out as the show ended.

 Pikarin ♡

She's so tiny and adorable! Felt like a giant next to her (^^)

 

Peace from Kana of Love La Doll~

Ginyu Force (ギニュー特選隊), an otagei dance group.

 Otagei (オタ芸) refers to the cheering and dancing gestures done by fans of idols singers/groups, which usually involve arm-waving, jumping and clapping. They actually opened the show with their performance, but I didn't get good pictures then. These are clearer!

Tenchim

She was acting in the skit for the show, along with the guys from Ginyu Force. The entire event was actually telling a story of sorts, with skits in between the catwalk and performance segments, which made it quite interesting!

 Waving goodbye as the show ended.

Natsuko and Chinpan ♡ They're such lovely girls!

Randomly received milk candies from them  ε(๑^ᴗ^๑)з

Caught a pose with Ginyu Force as they were walking out.

The models, Love La Doll, Ginyu Force and Kikki (guy in the sparkly suit)

All the models, performers, dancers and the producer doing a heart pose ♡

The show was partly sponsored by Prisila (the wig brand), and they had a booth at AFA2012. Though they weren't selling the regular line of wigs, but instead wigs for cosplay as AFA is an anime event after all, there were still a few "normal" looking ones. By normal I mean not blue/green/pink/orange (^^). And there was 15% off for people who went to the fashion show! 

Bought a short wig from Prisila! 
Sadly they ran out of the long one in this color, so I got the short one (^^) 

Couldn't resist the urge to buy nekomimi (cat's ears) and the cat's paw as well, there were so many booths selling them at AFA! There were also lots of booths selling swords, anime merchandise, figurines and etc. Anyway, I haven't had short hair in ages!

Tried the nekomimi with one of the long wigs I have. The material of the cosplay wigs and the regular wigs are different, the cosplay ones feel more plasticky? And they're not heat resistant so no curling/straightening irons! Nyan! Post on AFA 2012 coming soon! ☆

SBY love ♥

If you're a regular reader of gyaru magazines, especially Egg and Popteen, then you're probably not a stranger to SBY. SBY is a gyaru goods store, all the stuff they sell is made with gyarus in mind ♥

A lot of gyaru/model-produced cosmetics are sold in SBY. Most of Diamond Beauty's new releases are usually exclusively sold at SBY first. They have 2 whole walls and a revolving stand just for Diamond Lash, so they're very well-stocked. Lots of gyaru models (especially Egg models) visit SBY, you'll often see pictures on the SBY 109 blog ♥

And the main store in Shibuya 109 is awesome. (SBY is an acronym for ShiBuYa^^) Located on the 8th floor, there's a cafe corner where you can order parfaits/drinks and just chill, and the best is the makeup/mirror corner where there's a huge row of gorgeous vanity tables, large mirrors plastered on the walls, curling irons/hair straighteners and various cosmetics just lying there for you to use freely ♥ At no cost. You can just walk into the store and go to that corner to do your makeup or your hair! You can even charge your phone there! The staff are really friendly and well-dressed too!

They also sell cute accessories and small goods like bags, charms, hats, stockings, hair accessories, pouches, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and wigs.

In Shibuya 109, SBY is right across WC, Wakatsuki Chinatsu's brand.

This is their uber cute shopping bag! Front side is blue with the words "Love me SBY", the other side is hot pink with white polka dots. Best of all, it's made from recycled material and can be used again~ ♥♥♥

There's also a bigger size that's pink on the front side (picture of Itabashi Rumi, EdgeStyle model, carrying it. From SBY 109 blog)

Inside the bag~ From the 109 store I got legwear, Melliesh blushes, Bibo eyebrow pencils, a mirror, hair accessories, cute rose-print ribbon earrings! ♥

Pink leopard-print bow with golden star studs.

It has a clip at the back, as well as an elastic band so it can be clipped on or used to tie a pony tail.

Heart-shaped mirror with purple leopard print and golden bow designs on the cover.

Melliesh blushes in 01 上品ローズ (Elegant Rose), 05 小顔ブラウン Small-face Brown and 06 クリアーラベンダー (Clear Lavender).

There's also a branch in Harajuku's Takeshita Doori, named SBY Happy Room, which just sells goods. The selection is smaller, but they pretty much have the same basic things. I went to the Harajuku store before I went to the 109 store.

This was the shopping bag~ Hot pink

Love the hot pink heart-shaped SBY sticker! It's actually translucent, the color shows up well because the bag is white.

Stuff I got from SBY Happy Room, cute cuddly pink bunny, Diamond Blushes, Candy Doll Makeup Base, Decolog who's Sweet lashes, a pretty makeup pouch! The pouch has a layer of chiffon on the top (paisley print!), it's thin enough for you to make out the round gold things in the layer underneath, so it looks really pretty (: The inside is gold and there's one inner pocket.

Bunny! Extremely soft, has a cellphone strap and chain on the bunny's back so you can hang her on your phone or on your bag~ ♥

Got the Diamond Beauty blushes in Gold Jewelry and Apricot Pink. Forgot to get Honey Orange :/ But...anyway I just received my Diamond Beauty Cream Cheeks (got all 4!) and Cream Shadows (01 and 02). The Cream Cheeks are awesome so I won't be needing Honey Orange for a while! Swatches of the lovely cream goodies will come soon~
