Shibuya Gal 10/04/15: Pick Up

12:50 AM




It's Friday - yay!

Unfortunately I have to work this weekend in order to take my midweek holiday next week.

Oh well, I like my job so I can't complain.

This post contains the highlights from Don Quixote's free Shibuya Gal magazine.

I previously introduced you to the models and here you can check out clothes, hair styles, lenses and street snaps.

I wont make too many comments because I think you guys know the trends as well as I do.

And I want to watch South Africa vs Mexico at the same time, haha!

Let's start with a feature on DQ's Tokyo Cover Girl range:


For just under 4000yen you can get a 3-piece set that imitates looks by other high profile brands.

It's an interesting concept.

However, having examined them in the shop I think the pieces are of too poor a quality to interest me.

I'm no label snob but you get what you pay for and I don't want to pay for cheap fabric and bad stitching.


They look good in pictures though and it's a good way to check out hot coordinates.




I think I like the fringed belt look the best.

Next up is a feature on spring trends.



Both: inner - Uniqlo, outer/bottom - EMODA


Cap - one way, Jacket - Zara, T-shirt - one spo, Skirt - CECIL McBEE



Jacket: FREE'S  MART, Inner - dazzlin, Shorts - SLY, Headband - H&M


(L) Jacket - sneep dip, One piece - SPIGA. (R) Jacket- CECIL McBEE, One piece - one way

Next up, a bizarre feature on doing a gal-style wedding (why???)




Next, hairstyles. Unfortunately they didn't give tutorials but the pictures are helpful. I like the short styles, a little bit more unusual than the usual long curls.

Next, colour contacts:


Finally, my favourite - street snaps!

These pictures didn't really push any boundaries, but maybe it's a more accurate portrayal of what most girls are really wearing.










And that's it folks!

Mexico have just equalised, so I'm a happy girl.

I'd be happier if I could have scanned these pages instead of just taking photos.

Well, they'll have to do.

I'm a little tired of the Spring trends now so I hope the next issue comes out soon!

  7. What a fun magazine! For a free mag, it sure has a lot of great features. =) Usually, the free mags we get here kinda suck. =\ I can't say that I've ever seen what a gal-style wedding looks like so thank you for sharing!

  8. Bianca - I'm an Arsenal fan so I'll cheer for any team with a Arsenal player in it. I'll also cheer for any team who plays against England (except USA). Also, I got Argentina in a sweepstakes so if the win I get a lot of money - fingers crossed!
