Savage Beauty

Hey!

It's been so very long since we did a a proper shoot together so we were super excited to finally appear in the same frame. Reunited at last!

Mini Puff - Shady

Hey!

Today I thought I'd wear a casual look using mainly monochrome, with little splashes of pink because pink = the bestest. As you can probably tell, I recently took my braids out and it has been nice to have short hair while it has been so hot.

Tokyo Trends - Choom

Hey!

I wanted to highlight a prominent trend I've seen in street fashion, that's continued to dominate since I arrived here in September! 

Shady - Pink Tuesday

Hey!

Who said we can only wear pink on Wednesdays? ;D 

Sorry Mean Girls, but I'm gonna be my Shady lil' self and break the rules by giving you this pink-tastic outfit a day early.

Shady Styling - Body Harnesses

Hey!

Shady here (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

As we promised, this year we'll be experimenting with a variety of posts as well as our usual outfit twinning.

One of these new features will be Shady Styling -  Where I'll keep you updated on trends I have come across on the interwebs, show you the best places to find kawaii buys and some ideas on how to style them.

Yo! Cuties

Hey!

We wanted to channel our inner Rih Rih so we donned fur jackets and a badass attitude for this shoot.

Choom - Gloom

Hey!

Halloween is such a big event in Japan so I decided to get in the spirit (see what I did there) and transform into my spoopy alter ego - Gloom.

Choom - Fashion Monster

Hey!

Since I'm living in Tokyo now I get to experience all the cool things the city has to offer. There are a lot of themed cafés so I decided to visit one I've had my eye on for a while...the Harajuku Kawaii Monster Café! Obviously I had to go dressed appropriately for such an occasion.

PuriSweeties

Hey!

This is our first international post! Choom has moved to Tokyo for a year leaving Shady in the UK but PuriCuties continues as always! Even across the continents we unintentionally coordinated our outfits, in true twin style! Go to Choom's blog for a behind the scenes of this shoot and to follow her Tokyo adventures.

Fairy Kei

Hey!

We tried out Fairy Kei, a Harajuku style that's all about the pastels and looking super cute!

Shady - Doki Doki

Hey!

So I'm usually the scary looking one of us cuties, but I've tried my hardest to bring you an adorable outfit to feast your eyes on today. Did I do good?

Sweet Medusa

Hey!

We have quite a simple look for you today. Proving you can still look alternative and cool without loads of accessories and stick to the basics without looking well, you know, basic.

Zef

Hey!

We're feeling super freeky in our Die Antwoord inspired ensemble. Shady is a huge fan of the South African rap/rave group and is always randomly singing their songs.  

Starknaked Streetwear x Puricuties

Hey!

We like finding out about cool new independent brands and we recently stumbled across Starknaked Streetwear. They're an urban streetwear brand with a holographic twist. Of course since we love all things shiny we immediately wanted to collab!

Shady - Casual Cool

Hey!

As I'm currently on a break (from education, work or from life itself? Who knows?) that means that atm if I'm not eating or sleeping then I'm on the internet. I spend so much time logged on that when my street had a ten minute power cut the other day I began to consider funeral options. 

Okay...so that's a bit of an exaggeration, but what I'm trying to say is that I really love the internet.

Choom - Decora

Hey!

I'll be off to Japan soon and I can't wait to explore the streets of Harajuku! It's my fashion haven. Harajuku street fashion is a thriving community and is constantly evolving and creating new trends. One of the older, more well known trends, is Decora. It's basically OTT accessorising, bright colours and lots of layering. It's not so popular nowadays but it's a really distinctive look.

Nerdz

Hey!

We may not look like it but we are both huge nerds. We both love anime, manga and video games. Shady is a WiiU pro (her specialities being Mario Kart & Zelda) while Choom is a Tekken Lord. Our fave animes are mostly 90s classics, Shady insists Cardcaptor Sakura is better than Sailor Moon but Choom strongly disagrees. It's the only thing we've ever had a fight about, it's serious business! 

Shady - Minga Babe

Hey!

Who's been enjoying the lovely summer sun? The weather has been so nice recently that I thought I'd take a trip to the park...sometimes I forget that I'm actually an adult.

Choom - Pink & Blue

Hey!

So my fave colours are pink and blue, pastel pink and pastel blue to be exact. To me it's undeniably the best colour combo! 

I styled three different outfits using the same colour scheme, just to show off the versatility of this combination. The only running theme throughout this outfit are my 'Choom Chan' rings because they go with everything and I just love a personalised touch.

My first look features all things fantasy, unicorns, Sailor Moon, Totoro and more unicorns! I can't resist anything unicorn related, they're just such cool creatures, so I doubled up on the unicorn power. Sailor Moon is my number one magical girl (Shady's is Cardcaptor Sakura boo) so I had to include her in this fantastical look. I love the little silhouette of her in the moon it's so iconic. 

Rainbow Space Cadets

Hey!

You know that really annoying time of year when it's kinda too hot to wear a jacket but also too cold to go outside without one? -_-
