5.  Warning: Conquering Colombia requires a pretty neckpiece

My First DigiPerm Experience

Last October, I came across a discount voucher of Tony & Jackey (Korean salon) on Metrodeal. It offered Rebonding or DigiPerm service for Php 2,999 only instead of Php 9,000 (original price). Since I've been wanting to try having curls, I immediately both the voucher. Then I called their branch at SM North The Block for an appointment. The next day, I came to the salon and presented my voucher together with my ID.

My hair was shampooed then it was assessed by the Korean stylist named Wendy. According to her, since my hair is coloured and a bit dry, they would have to apply heavy hair treatment so it won't be damaged by the chemicals that would be used in the digiperm process. The treatment costs a total of Php 4,000 (one was Php 2,500 and another was Php 1,500); however, I wasn't informed over the phone about it so I wasn't able to bring enough cash. They are not accepting credit cards at any of their branches so be sure that you bring enough cash. After telling them that I didn't have enough cash, they offered me the treatment that's worth Php 1,000. However, the stylist was worried that my hair would be damaged because I didn't avail of the better (yet more pricey) treatment.

Anyway, so we still proceeded. I showed them a photo of the type of curls I want to achieve so Wendy cut my hair according to that style before proceeding with the curling process. The assistant of the stylist applied treatment to my hair, covered, and heated it for 15 minutes. While waiting, they played a movie for me, which I watched through the mirror screen. Yeah, it's so high-tech!:)) Then they washed my hair, put the chemical for curling and covered it with plastic. After a couple of minutes, Wendy put my hair in the digital perming machine. After 30 minutes, the assistant washed my hair and it's done! They combed my hair while it's wet then twisted it using their fingers and they continued doing that as they were drying my hair with a blower. When it dried, Wendy put some cream that would hold the curls naturally (not like gel that would harden my hair).





I was happy with the result. A lot of my friends were impressed with the curls that I got. The service had 2 weeks warranty. After 2 days I came back because I felt that my curls were a bit gone. Then my hair was assessed by my stylist. They shampooed and dried my hair. Apparently, since it was my first time to have a digiperm, I wasn't used to setting my hair yet. They taught me how to do it so I wouldn't lose the curls. So this was Wendy's instructions:


1. After showering, wipe hair with a towel.
2. Comb hair with wide-toothed comb.
3. Split hair in half.
4. On one side, split hair again into two.
5. Twist each group.
6. Dry it with a blower, or just let it dry on its own.
7. Apply cream that would hold the curls. (They sell a bottle for Php 2,000 but I didn't buy because I also have a hair cream from Japan at home. However, they also have a cream which can be applied to wet hair and it's priced at Php 2,500.)

Anyway, so I just continued practicing what I've learnt from my stylist and so far, I've been happy with my curly hair. Whenever I wake up, it felt like I came from the salon because of the natural look of my curls.

Simpler blog site design :)

So I decided to give my blog site a simpler look...without giving up my favorite color!:))

I did not remove the gray-colored side bar because it adds a little dimension on my page. I actually wanted to make it white/transparent but i found it too plain. I also changed my header with my blog title on "I'm fashionista" font, which I downloaded from dafont.com.  I wish I could come up with my own logo but i'm no good with vectors in Photoshop. But so far, my official color scheme is "white-pink-gray-black". And I hope to change my outdated favicon (the icon/logo on the tab) soon.

Let me know your thoughts.

My cousin and I have lately developed the love for mullet dresses. Through our weekly shopping activities, we've been seeing a lot of mullet dresses with floral prints, and we found them very ideal for spring. I took a photo of the mullet dresses we have. However, I didn't have much time to dress up and shoot so I just did it inside the house with the help of my grandma as my photographer haha! Please excuse the poor quality of the photos 'coz I'm just using my Sony Cybershot TX5.

SPRING MULLET DRESSES:


Dress from "Momo by Wonder Rocket" in Harajuku,Tokyo
2,980 Yen

 feather earrings from H&M in Harajuku
599 Yen


Dress from "Love Junkie" in Suwa City, Nagano

 accessories from "Shimamura" in Suwa City, Nagano


Dress from "Every" in Japan

So there's our small collection of spring mullet dresses. Hope to find more.:)

Fashion Files: Summer 2012

This is kind of a late post since summer is about to end soon. But I just wanna share some summer fashion ideas. Well actually I'm a bit frustrated that I still can't wear something light here in Japan because it's Spring season, and the weather is just crazy. It's hard to choose what to wear due to unpredictable weather. I can't risk wearing shorts without tights underneath because even if it's quite hot in the mid-afternoon, the temperature drops at late afternoon. But since I'm not staying here so long, I don't actually invest on winter/spring clothes while I'm here because my cousin and aunt have a really awesome closet. I choose to buy clothes here which I can wear in the Philippines, given it's weather.

Two weeks ago, when my cousin and I have gone shopping in Tokyo, we were not able to buy much pieces from Shibuya 109 because almost all the brands there were Japanese brands and the clothes weren't so wearable in a hot weather. All I was able to buy there were 2 pairs of cute sunglasses for me and my BFF. But when my cousin and I raided the 5-storey Forever 21 shop, we were able to find lots of good stuff! And after putting everything together, I realized that we bought were so SUMMER!:)

Theme: FLOWER POWER!

 Price Range of Tops: 980 Yen to 1,580 Yen

 button-up high-low sheer top

 button-up sleeveless sheer top

 button-up/tied down sheer top w/ lace details

 lace tank top with flower print

tank top which I got from Avail (one of the shops in Chino City, Nagano)

And to match these floral tops are my cute shorts from Forever 21 too.


Theme: STYLISH SHORTS 

 Price Range of Shorts = 1,280 Yen to 1,980 Yen

faded shorts w/ lace detail
(This is the only shorts here that isn't Forever 21, but I got it from Shimamura in Suwa City, Nagano)

 vertical striped pink/blue shorts with off-white belt

 faded shorts with floral belt

 vertical striped blue high waist shorts with button details

semi-wrecked black shorts
(Got this from Forever 21 in the Philippines last year)

And when you put them all together, you can have comfy yet fashionable summer style!:)

 accessorize with a cute pair of pink shades

 Accessorize with a pink necklace w/ feather details
(Since my cousin was wearing it, I just took a photo of her)

Spaghetti strapped top and pink necklace. You can wear a pink or white cardigan too.
I have shortage of T-shirts now. Hope this does justice.)

 If you wanna show the floral belt, then choose a less printed top.

Wear a dark plain tube or spaghetti or tank top inside. 

 Cute outfit that can be paired with tan flats or wedges.

 Or wear it with plain white shirt.
(I just don't have my white shirt with me now)

Use accessories and a polo/cardigan to create layers

And here are more good summer finds:

From a Japanese brand "XO XO" in Shibuya 109

 Forever 21 Dress at 1,250 Yen

 Pink and Gold bangles from Shimamura (Suwa City, Nagano)

 Roxy Flipflops
(I actually love Roxy flipflops because the're stylish, very light yet durable. I bought my first pair 2 years ago and even if I've been using it a lot of time, they still look good.)

This is more of a "spring" bag actually; but for me, it's ok to use it anytime.

It's hard to live with my shopaholic aunt and cousin because whenever the three of us shop together, there's no such word as "savings" haha!:)) If only we have been saving the money we spend for shopping every weekend here, we could have afforded a Hong Kong weekend trip!:))
