Edo Haaady?

Today I have some proper pictures (that I took with my aunt's camera)! x)
Warning: this post is also full of extra a's :D

Yes, I am taking a nervous holiday from Helsinki (= a lot of people) and am visiting my relatives in Vammala, Sastamala.
Like last time (I mean Easter break) we jumped into the car with my oldest cousin and her kids and drove for about 3 hours (with all the pit stops) until we arrived to our finish line.
We've been here since Wednesday (we're leaving on Monday or Tuesday) and I'm loving it x) Green grass, flowers, bushes, trees, sauna, Little Big Planet and a big house so you can easily be alone if you want to. Ahhhhh~
And of course aunt's camera which I'm rudely abusing!

Outfit of the day.

Today I decided to go for a bit Haaady gyaru-er look with what I had packed with me.
Unlike the name suggests (and unlike some people think), it's not about dressing in as many Ed Hardy clothes and accessories as you can, oh no, it's about dressing colourfully and preferably having patterns in clothes.

Haaady, sometimes haady (if you want to Google it, I suggest 'haady'), gyaru was invented by egg and its famous model Kaoru Watanabe.

And here you also have Kaoru's haaady face! (shamefully linked from another site)

For some reason everyone seems to write "haady" instead of "haaady", but when I've seen it written in egg, it's always been with three a's so that's how I write it as well.
Not that it really disturbs me... even though I like the style, it is not my favourite x) I just noticed that you get more results in Google with "haady" (way more) :D
Aaanyway...

Haaadys love brands like JSG and Galaxxxy since they have the colours and the patterns.
Of course there are haaadys who some aim to be a bit more punk, some a bit more rock and some a bit more sweet and cute, but the style reminds (me) from 80's colourful rock style.

Here's Kaoru again, sporting the style with a strong hint of rock.
What I can read from the small print, she's wearing clothes from brands like Cocolulu (which I dearly love), Hiphop Divas, tutuHA and pumps from FLAG-J.

This picture was under the title of "Haaady PUNK". As you can see, here both Kaoru and Romihi are sporting some really showy tights.







What about the make up and hair then!?
Well, that's part why I like Haaady's make up, it is usually very colourful!
I've never noticed the hair to be nothing specific, since the focus really is on the clothes and make up.

My make up for the day was heaaaavily inspired by this:

As you all can probably tell ;D

I've done the same kind of make up maaany times before, because I just LOVE the colours!

For the eyes Kaoru's used M.A.C's eyeshadows and who knows what for the face (can't remember and I don't have the magazine with me... ooops), but my tools of trade were a bit different:


Base done with always so trustworthy Lumene Natural Code Matt Makeup (11 Cream) and 17 pressed powder (neutral).
In the picture I haven't done my eyebrows or cheeks yet, hence the paleness and lack of natural colour x)

Eyes were done with Make Up Store's microshadow (Lemon, I think), M.A.C's Electric Eel Satin eyshadow and I even used a bit of Lumene Natural Code Trio Eyeshadow's (1 Angel) light blue to change the blue of M.A.C's eyeshadow.
Eyeliners are, once again, Wet 'n' Wild's black eyeliner and M.A.C's Fluidline Gel eyeliner (Blacktrack).
No fake lashes 'cause I was being lazy AND I wanted the make up to be visible so I just used M.A.C's Studio Fix Lash to darken my eyelashes.
Afterwards I added some blush (Lumene Natural Code Mineral Bronze & Blush 10 Pinky) and defined some eyebrows (Lumene Arctic Definition Mineral Eyebrow Pencil 2 Grey Brown).
Oh! And lips with some random shiny light pink lipstick I've had since I was... 14???

Here are the eyes again:


We're actually watching the 5th Harry Potter at the moment so it's a bit weird that no one's complained about me typing... yet x)
I'd better go anyway so I won't disturb them anymore :D

Oh! Before you go, take a look at my newly decorated old mobile phone!

A Sunday in the life of Sarumi... on a tuesday!!! :D

As I said in the last post, here's my "one day in a life of"-post. Late, I know, but you'll soon understand why.

Warning! A hevy load of pictures ahead! Clicking them might make them grow in size!

So Sunday is usually my laundry day.
In St. John's campus, where I live, the laundry is pretty expensive so I always go over to my friends' place in city centre to do my laundry... for free.
Aaaanyway, my Sunday mornings start with...

me waking up. This time I woke up around 9.30.

After getting up I usually take a shower. Unless I've already showered the evening/night before.
(The shampoo bottles here are HUGE!)


After shower I smear myself with lotion. Or in this case, with emolient cream x)

Face, hands and feet. Those usually dry the most, so it's good to smear them often.
Especially face if you're planning to put some make up on.



The cream takes some time to "absorb" into the body, so meanwhile I like to make my bed. I hide my nightshirt under my pillows.




Then I try to decide what to wear... NOT easy.
I usually turn to Ranzuki for help if it gets way too hard...




Then the problem seems to be tights. Which ones to wear!?!

I can tell you, this Sunday I went for...

the purple ones!

I get very bored if I don't listen to music while dressing and putting make up on.
Honestly, I just get so blank and... monotone if I dress and make up in silence when I have time!


Sooo... I switch the plug on and then my lovely laptop, Daniel.


When Daniel's all up I execute Winamp
and start listening to whatever music Daniel and Winnie decide to play.

Usually I have to skip every other song, because I just want to listen to SOMETHING, but I don't really know what xD

Make up time!

The tools I used this time. Sorry, forgot the M.A.C's mascara and lipstick from the picture!

Lot's of Lumene and M.A.C. again :D
There's also Rimmel's white eyeshadow and Wet n' Wild's black eyeliner.

Make up done!
I apologise again, I forgot to take pictures of the process since I was trying to hurry up.

On to the hair!


Which turned out like this!
I have my extensions on and then all of it put up with a hair clip I bought from Japan 3 years ago :'D

My clip-on extensions are a bit lighter than my own hair, so I always try to fix my hair in a way that it's harder to realise it's not my own hair x)

Outfit for the day~

That happened to be purple tights from Seppälä, Rosebullet's waist skirt (from SpiritStore) and grey, long-sleeved shirt from GinaTricot.
Simple but cute, if you ask me :3
I also wore one of my favourite trainers, they go together so well with the skirt ♥

Now on with the story we go! This was, and still is, the story about a Sunday in my life xD
After I was ready, I looked outside my window...


to see it was raining. Again.

That's pretty much how it goes around here and I'm getting used to it :D


So I grabbed my umbrella and headed to Students' Union's bus stop to check if there was a bus coming in the near future.

Luckily enough my mp3 told me that the time was about 11.46 and the timetable said "There should be a bus 11.46.".
So I waited.
Comfortably under my fancy umbrella.

Waiting for the bus in the rain makes me go DERP.

And the bus comes!
Yay!

There were two Chinese girls out, waiting for the bus with me. They must've thought I was weird since I was hanging out with a laptop bag, Bank-bag full of something, holding an umbrella and taking pictures of random things and myself x)


The bus tickets here are so kind x3


Bus journeys are usually a bit boring so took a bunch of needless pictures... -_-'
I'll share a few of them with you anyway.

Like this one where I'm all constipatedly excited about my little trip that I do every Sunday.


I had so much stuff with me xD I usually leave Daniel at home, but this time I made an exception.






Bored.


This is why I usually walk...





ALMOST THERE!

(I think it takes about 15 minutes for the bus to get from campus to the town)





There!
Yes, the bus ends up infront of the biggest (?) nightclub in Worcester :D


Then I have to walk... 'cause frankly enough, my friends' DON'T live in Tramps :D

Follow the arrows!



Walk some more and still follow the arrows!

And then I finally arrive at the Sansome Halls! To get in, I have to press the buzzer.

Of course the day I have some heavy-ish load with me, the elevators out of order, thanks to a power cut that happened 2-3 DAYS before :D


So I walked upstairs and was, luckily, greeted by a smiling Monica who kindly opened the door for me ♥

(Random fact: I've now posted 30 pictures in this blogpost and I've been writing this for over an hour!)

So I dropped my stuff, put some teatowels and potholders in the washing machine, chatted with the guys and then headed out to buy some breakfast.


Breakfast from Co-op. I also bought something else, but that I'll reveal a bit later x)



Oh! Did I tell you what the kitchen looked like when I arrived?

No I didn't, but don't worry! I took a picture!

Yeah.

This of course makes me sad.
But I started on my breakfast anyway.


So I pulled out all that stuff I bought from Co-op. And Superdrug and Boots x)
Detergent, cosmetics and breakfast!






OMNOMNOMNOM.

Breakfast at 2 o'clock 'cause that's how I roll.


I also played some Super Mario Bros. 3,
'cause I also roll like that!

Do not approve of the pile of dishes.


So I worked my magic and soon the pile was gone!



With nothing to do, while waiting for my laundry to wash and dry I:


Polished my nails...





Watched Sam cooking...





Watched telly...

but hey! Baftas' red carpet was on and later in the evening they'd have the awards on BBC one!!!
We decided to watch them but we still had two hours to go...


So I finished my laundry...




We watched some TV (more)...

We even played some games on our laptops...

We went to Tesco to get some food and laugh at the huge crisp bags.
We got food from McDonald's but I forgot to take a picture in there. Damn.

While in McDonald's, we realised that it was already about 9 o'clock so we hurried back to the flat and started watching Baftas immediately...

I, of course, forgot to take pictures. Again xDDD

After Baftas we played...

Mario Kart on Wii!

Everyone wanted to play with Yoshi, but in the end the other Sam got him so I decided to go, against all my nature, with Peach :'D
Strangely enough, I won a few times even though it was my first time playing Mario Kart Wii and with a character riding a bike!

We finished playing around 2. SOMETHING... yes, in the night. So it was Monday already.

After checking I had everything packed and with me we headed out.


We, as in Monica and me. She usually walks me back halfway (= Sabrina Bridge) and if we get one of the guys to come with us, they might walk me walk all the way back to St. John's (takes about 25-30 minutes).



It was nearly 3 o'clock in the night when we got to Sabrina Bridge so I pretended to be a swan whisperer.

They actually answered me a few times.
Probably tried to tell me to "F*ck off!" :D


Nevertheless, it made me happy and so I continued my journey back home.



I must've arrived at home around 3.15, so you can guess how tired I was.

You can't? Well, let me show you:

THIS tired.

I just flopped down on my bed... got up a few minutes later to remove my hair and make up and to change into my nightshirt... just to flop down on the bed again.

So, how do you like my Sunday!? xD

I wanted to post this already on Monday, but I had a LOOONG morning... and when I woke up I just couldn't be assed to do anything before leaving to Leicester to see Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Of course we got back from there so late, that I headed straight to bed.
Today (I'll just pretend it's still Tuesday) I had two lectures and dance (who knew even the smallest amount of "ballet" would be so hard ;__;) so... that's why I'm posting this LATE.

And NOW... I'm going to ceremoniously... ceremonially (?) flop on my bed and FALL ASLEEP. Good night!
