#2 Haru in Harajuku

Hi everyone!

Its that time of month again, its Haru in Harajuku time! For this post I decided to go a little darker with the outfit I put together. Okay lets get started!


First up is the top, its is $39.99 from City Beach Australia:

Mooloola All Crosses Tee

Second piece is the leggings,these are from $15AUD from JayJays:

CROSS PRINT LEGGING

To go over the leggings I chose a pleated leather like skirt from Boohoo.com:

Liz Wet Look Scuba Box Pleat Skater Skirt

For shoes I thought ankle boots would go well,so I went to the Ruby Shoes(Cotton On) website and picked out some studded ankles boots for $39.95:

Sully Boots

Now for my favorite part, Accessories!!! ^.^

I want to had a small bit of color with the necklace so I went for a green and gold colored necklace from an online jewellery shop called Tiara for  about $15AUD

  GEOMETRY VINTAGE NECKLACE

For the bracelets I opted for all gold! Both from Equip and both $15AUD

SQUARE SPIKE STRETCH BRACELET(Bracelet 1)

Chunky Link Charm Bracelet(Bracelet 2)

The earrings that I choose are also from Equip, I find it easier to get things like bracelets and earring in the same shop because they general have a certain line or style that suits each other well. I chose to get a pair of earrings that matched well with the necklace to keep the greeny color a little consistent through the outfit. They can be brought from Equip for $8AUD

3 PACK OVAL EARRINGS

Okay that's it for the outfit, I hope you all liked it! For next months Haru in Harajuku I will be trying something new and show you all 3 of my favorite Lolita brands along with a cool website to get some cheap Lolita dresses and accessories. I hope everyone has a nice night and see you all again next month!
Bye!!! o(≧∀≦)o

#1 Haru in Harajuku

Hello Everyone! This is the first post of hopefully many for my Blog Series "Haru in Harajuku".

This post will feature an outfit I put together using items from various popular Harajuku brands,local Australian brands and online boutiques I want to have an outfit put together for every new post so if you have an requests for brands for the next couple posts comment below or tell me on Twitter.

Okay! Lets Go!

First up is this outfit I put together using items from Candy Stripper,Reebok,Diva and an ebay boutique called Mysterieux Paradis!

First I will start with the top or sweater which is from Candy Stripper. It is available online for around $74AUD from the Candy Stripper website.

The next item is the skirt and leggings, I want to make this outfit have a lot of color so I went for a pink skirt and tattoo leggings.Both of these items are from Mysterieux Paradis. The skirt is $19.99AUD and the leggings are $9.99AUD.

For shoes I thought a nice pair of sneakers that would match the sweater would go well, so I went to one of my favorite shoe brands Reebok to find some sneakers.  I choose the "Reebok Women's Freestyle Hi Reign-Bow Sneaker" in pink from Amazon, they are currently selling for $39.95 there.

Now for the final pieces and they are of course the accessories! For these I went to an Australian/New Zealand brand site called Diva. I matched up a set of rings,necklace and earrings. The rings and earrings are both $12.99AUD and the necklace is $29.99AUD. If you want you hands to stand out more try and find one big ring that matches up with one of the colors of the three rings(Powder Purple,Orange or Pink) and place it on the middle finger, this will draw more attention to your hand.

Okay,well that's the full look, I didn't want to add any hair accessories because everyone has different hair types and some accessories dont work well with some hair types. But if you want to add some try to find hair accessories that match the colors of the rings and necklace(Pink,Orange, Lavender,Powder Blue). As for other accessories like bags I think a bold color(necklace colors would probably match best) with a little patterning or design, or a multicolored bag. If you are curious about bags and dont know where to look try Mysterieux Paradis or  at a local JayJays(There website doesnt have many bags but some of their shops stock some good ones).

Okay,well that's it for the first Haru in Harajuku post! I think the further the posts go along I will start adding more then just 1 outfit...maybe some reviews on brands and such as I get more into it. If you have any suggestions for next months post please tell me in the comments below or on Twitter.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and is looking forward to school and uni starting back! 

See you all later! ^.^
