Hellooooo!!
Today's post is 100% in English bc I want to practice and improve! ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ (I know I'm going to make a lot of mistakes, sorry in advance). Also, I feel bad for my non-Spanish readers bc the Google Translator plugin is terrible (＃＞＜), so I'll try to have a bilingual blog from now! Wish me luck (￣▽￣*)ゞ
A few days ago was reading some gyaru blogs, and I saw this interesting Gyaru Card (I like to make challenges/tags/Q&A and stuff like "get to know me") made by Leia (a cute gyaru from Italy), so... I'm going to create my version! (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) Let's go!

☆ Top 5 Jap Gyaru models:
Okay, let's start with the QUEEN. Some months ago was looking for scans from old JELLY's (from 2008 to 2014), and I fall in love with all the JELLY girls... especially with Maipuu and Maichi. I love how charismatic they are in all articles and photoshoots. And usually, they modeled for GILFY catalogs and mooks too, so... pure perfection. ♡

JELLY QUEEN number 2 (⌒▽⌒)☆. She was one of the most representative, famous, and charismatic models of the JELLY mag. Also, she was the image of some brands like Jerry Girl, Narvanna Wig, Aroot, Bless Tokyo, Juriano Jurrie, etc.
Everyone involved in the community knows who Manami Suzuki is (or Manya). It's impossible doesn't know her name. I liked her a lot when she was at EGG magazine and especially when she modeled for Backs ('｡• ᵕ •｡`).
4. Maaami [Instagram]
My gosh, I'm obsessed with this cutie, and his smile (♡°▽°♡) when I saw EGG's new-generation models for the first time, Maaami immediately caught my attention. She looks pure, funny, and a lovely person (*≧ω≦*), and I love her makeup and outfits!
5. Kyiiripu [Instagram]
Her eye make is EVERYTHING (*♡∀♡) The QUEEN of EGG's new generation models. She has a lot of potentials and gives off 100% gyaru spirit.

EGG was the first gyaru magazine I discovered which I have a special affection, but actually, I get more inspiration from old JELLY's ヽ(>∀<☆)ノ
☆ Top 5 Brands:
Can I put GILFY 5 times? (´ ∀ ` *)...
1. MAISON GILFY (メゾンギルフィー)
No more words, GILFY is love, GILFY is life... best Japanese brand EVER!
2. BACKS (バックス)
If you love GILFY, you love Backs too. I'm obsessed with their unique aesthetic (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ (monotone colors, menswear styling, cropped pants/shorts, ankle boots, tick-rimmed glasses, and of course all their denim pieces and sets...).
3. JSG (ジェーエスジー)
I have a strange relationship with this brand (；￣Д￣). I like it a lot, but I would never wear an entire JSG outfit (bc I don't like haady). So I love some specific JSG items (one of them, the famous English flag sweater that you'll see a few outfits below ('ω `♡)).
4. d.i.a (ダイア)
D.i.a, another super popular brand I like for two reasons: first, their AMAZING belts, a must item in all gal's closet╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ Aaaand second, their clothes with bohemian touches (a lot of feathers!).
5. Ghost of Harlem (ゴーストオブハーレム)
A lovely brand (because of Sakurina, basically), I like it a lot, but I didn't have any items yet x'D. When I'm satisfied with my GILFY clothing collection, I'll start buying GOH clothes! (♡°▽°♡)

And that's all! I've omitted the part about advising baby gals bc I'm a beginner/baby gal, too. xD and although I've been in the gyaru world for years (not being involved directly, just a fan of the style), it was only a few months ago I was encouraged to introduce myself to gyaru. So I need to learn from other beautiful gals with much more experience than me ^^
XoXo! (✧∀✧)/
