Larme Kei - Lukewarm Spring Edition

Figure I'll put this near the top: is there anything else you guys want added to the intro post for next time?

>>9315320
maybe a brand spread sheet or something, idk

>>9315335
I had one but it's so outdated it seemed a little pointless until I can update it. It's one of my projects. It was open for other people to update too but few did hah.

Petite dollies does have just a simple list version I can link right now, but I'm hoping to do something more in depth in the future.

I'm not st my computer right now but I'll get a link to my old sheet when I get home for people who want it.

>>9315343
It was really helpful, it had models too and the flatform do/don't guide
Bring it back

>>9315320
Honestly I don't find a brand list so helpful because it really depends on their current collection wether it's suitable for larme or not

>>9315444
I see your point anon but that doesn't really fluctuate that much, you'll always find one or two items from an unrelated brand that would suit larme, but I'd say there's a specific pool of brands that 1/ appear in the magazine regularly 2/ fit the aesthetic regardless of season. >>9315343 if you need some help with the old sheet I'll gladly contribute, at least all my online window shopping will be put to good use.

There was some talk about oldschool Katie in the previous thread, well this just popped up on fril. I kind of love how tacky it is to be honest

Anyone know when the Katie Happy Bag is supposed to ship?
I bought it and a set of badges from them
The badges have arrived at my shopping service but the happy bag hasn't yet

Something to include in the next description could be a decent shopping guide. Someone should create a list with what brands that ship overseas, takes non japanese cards etc.

1B, 486x500px

>>9316419
That would be a great idea, yeah

>>9316419
Yeah I did want to add stuff like that. Also maybe add some of the fit guide stuff we talked about in a previous thread.

Do any brands do direct shipping besides mon lily? They're the only one I can think of. For foreign cards off the top of my head I was able to buy from honey cinnamon and crayme's own sites with my card, and then I buy most of my other stuff from fashionwalker.

>>9316474
Ailand won't accept foreign cards and neither will Zozo. I feel like some of the shops hosted on storets.jp won't either - tried it with the Virginis online store which is now closed anyway.
Other places I tried buying from through Tenso accept foreign cards just fine.

>>9316488
Do you know if the e hyphen store taked foreign credit cards?

Thoughts on new cover? I kind of hate it. Nymphet vibe and a grandma hat. Plus I'm not a fan of red/white color scheme in larme

>>9317965
I think it's kinda cute except for the hat. But it feels like it would be better suited to summer rather than January, lol.

>>9316432
Fuck I hate khaki. Even if this becomes the number one trending colour in Larme I will never convert to booger green. Larme got me to add splashes of leopard print to my wardrobe but that's the only thing I normally dislike that I've given into.

I really like khaki in larme, mostly because I like anything that goes beyond the black/white/pink combo (which is great and all but seeing other colours is so refreshing)

File: 42928486.jpg (1B, 486x500px)

1B, 486x500px

>>9320602
Ok, I'll stop now
Speaking of leopard print I feel Katie does it best really, I love that slightly 60s vibe. Didn't like the Bonbon items as much.

>>9320643
>>9320645
>>9320647
Is this some kind of aversion therapy you're trying anon?? Normally I do actually like seeing items or colour schemes that are outside of the box in any fashion I'm into, but I just can't into khaki. I don't think it looks good on me either.

>>9320653
It's definitely grown on me, but here in the UK leopard print is usually associated with tacky, common slapper Essex girl types or Kat Slater from Eastenders so I have to make sure my Larme styling is on point with that.

>>9320658
>essex girl
just looked it up wew das nasty

>>9320658
I'm just a shit, soz. I also like any excuse to post more Fallin.
I'm in the UK too. I feel like it mostly depends on the item itself, especially the quality and cut. There's been a fair bit of leopard print on the high street recently, Topshop had pic related not long ago, I think you'd really have to go out of your way to make it look trashy.

>>9320658
For larme styling I quite like Honey Cinnamon too although the white socks are a bit much for me

File: IMG_20170116_001539.jpg (1B, 486x500px)

1B, 486x500px

>>9320663
I'll admit that doesn't look trashy at all, I like the shoulder ruffles, but again I don't think I could do that justice personally. Maybe a bit too much leopard print in one go for me. Primark were selling a skirt almost identical to one in pic related over Christmas, even down to the fur texture, which I could work with. I regret not getting it at the time, there may be a few around during the sales hopefully.
Speaking of Primark avoid their metallic pleated skirts, the material is horrible, it's like they spray painted some kind of track suit material and it flakes off.

>>9320665
This is cute and I agree with the hosiery - I would've styles that outfit with the large spaced fishnets that are on trend at the moment or maybe some black lace socks.

Is larme dead already?

>>9322473

Just get out

>>9322501
not my problem bro

>>9322519
I'm not the one asking if it's dead you retard. I just don't expect much activity in this thread knowing most people haven't seen the latest issues. At least I hope they won't start discussions about what they think larme is without looking at the magazine.

>for the art book
Right

>>9322598
> I just don't expect much activity in this thread knowing most people haven't seen the latest issues

Most of us regulars in this thread buy the magazine though. Unlike you.

Brands are also coming out with their new collections atm. Look at those if you can't get the mag.

>>9322603
Guess one of us is projecting

>>9322612
?

You literally said you don't buy the magazine.

>>9322619
My advice; ignore this autismal, they're disrailing the thread, apparently have a problem with the sweet girly art book being described as an art book and refuse to buy it. Might even be bait but whatever. I'm all for some winter coat pics as suggested from the last thread for stuff to post in the meantime.

I'm starting a new job soon, they don't really have a dresscode, but more like a "look clean-cut and nice" code.
tldr; I would love some office suited larme looks and inspiration! Big fan of black and white and colour that doesn't drag too much attention.

>>9322717
A lot of Eatme's clothing might be good inspiration, since they usually have more conservative lengths and cuts than other brands--as long as you stay away from their lingerie/fetish stuff.

Do you guys have any suggeation to where i can find maxi dresses that fit the larme aesthetics? I am going to a senior ball soon where there is a big show with all the seniors walking down some stairs while the rest of the school watches i have been looking for a elegant satin dress that has some of that larme flavor!

1B, 486x500px

>>9324324
not sure how formal you are going, but I think a slip dress styled with a larme top might work. lace tops would work for more formal, while other blouses or cutsews could dress it down. add some larme appropriate hair, accessories make up etc to complete the look

>>9324335
*thought this was solid black on my phone...

anyway, they come in lots of colors and fabrics

Any favorite outfits from the new issue?

>>9327465
Nobody reads the magazine, silly :)

tfw larme is dead


was good while it lasted

>>9328853
What brand is this? I couldn't find it. At least it doesn't say Daddy kek.

>>9328883
EATME

>>9328882
It's bigger now than ever and will continue to do so. That magazine is probably making bank in comparison to before. Just because no one posts on here doesn't mean Larme has a low readership.

>>9328882
Yes. This thread is the only place where larme is discussed on the whole entire web, thus, if there is no discussion going on here then the fashion is obviously dead.

Honestly though I've actually been using tumblr and the Facebook group more than this thread atm. This thread seems to get more use when people are discussing "controversial" opinions that would otherwise cause shitstorms in other venues.

So I guess we could always go back to arguing about nymphet and ddlg undertones in Larme if you want. Or does anything have anything they want to gripe about without their name attached?

Saramari is selling a ton of brand on depop if any of you wanna score some cheap brand with no shopping service fees.
On that note, do you guys think any larme brands will eventually offer overseas shipping ? (Besides monlily)

>>9328973
I doubt it. Even big sites like fashionwalker and the like are content to direct you to use tenso.

I do hope, however, that more stores will start accepting overseas cards so that tenso is an option rather than a shopping service.

Will somebody help an absolute noob regarding shopping services? I really wanna buy from bonbon but they do not take foreign cards. I know you can use Tenso for shipping, but what about placing an order?

>>9331088
That's odd. Are you buying stuff from stripe club? They used to accept foreign cards. There's a pretty good SS thread on CGL at the moment
I haven't ordered the new issue yet, would you gulls say it's worth getting?

>>9333260
If you genuinely are into Larme and want to be on top of what the latest trends are then yes, always. If you're a filthy casual then no, sit on your arse and wait for someone upload scans.

Zozotown is having a good selection of BonBon items on sale for -50% and -70% maybe you want to take a look!

>>9333260
I ordered the new issue and desu I liked last number better. There are some nice shoots and make-up spreads but I expected something (who knows what) more. It is nice to see some spring items for change but I feel they are not that different from last year. I didn`t see many items I´d like to order either. Maybe I like the next issue better because it should be a proper summer trend issue.

>>9333833
sorry my stupid autocorrect changes random words into "desu"

It's kind of more of the same but I love it anyway. Can't really think of any brand that's doing anything remotely similar even though a lot of it (giant sleeves etc...) isn't massively practical. Actually no, the giant sleeves are amazing.
Shame about the prices though...

Are there any blonde larme models?

File: parco08.jpg (1B, 486x500px)

1B, 486x500px

>>9337052
I can`t remember if I have seen blonde models otherwise but at least Amo used to have blonde hair when she was still a model for Larme.

>>9337052
I don't have pics right now but there were in earlier issues. Haven't seen anything recently though.

File: larme03_vintage_maria-emma02.png (1B, 486x500px)

1B, 486x500px

>>9337052
Lighter hair was a lot more common in the earlier volumes. iirc Emma Jasmine had dark blonde around volume 15, and that's the most recent I can remember.
I've also never seen anything much lighter than my or >>9337098 's example.

>>9337052
This is just a wild guess but could the explanation for the lack of blonde hair in the magazine be that the people behind Larme prefer more natural look nowadays? When talking about hair. Because the models are Japanese or half Japanese maybe brown hair may seem more natural looking option?

>>9337649
This is exactly what I was thinking! Larme has a very 'ulzzang' natural feel compared to most J-fashion.

The heavy eyeshadow/bright lips looks much less 'harsh' with dark hair, too.

That might be a dumb question but can you order from Amazon Japan domestically with a foreign credit card? I wanted to get the latest issue of Larme but don't really want to pay for their international shipping, so I was thinking of ordering it to my tenso address & consolidating with my next package.
Alternatively, are there any other online shops I could order the latest issue from if I want to do this?

>>9337683
I'd like to see someone with light blonde hair pull off the look successfully, for some reason that doesn't really mesh well

>>9337052

Pfft as if there isn't enough blonde models in Japan as it is. I just hope Larme never fucking hires Dakota Rose ever again.

>>9338319

That is the reason why I like Larme because I have curly hair and I can get away with my dark curly hair. Other J-fashion genres its all about stupid wigs and lighter hair in general. So its NICE to embrace my hair as it is without having to go through all the process of buying wigs or straightening it.

>>9338321
Not really sure what you're talking about, most of J-fashion still looks pretty good with dark and/or curly hair. Wigs and straight hair are trendy but not requirements or even aesthetically necessary a lot of the time.

>>9338750
Sounds like anon just has a victim-complex.

>>9322770
ailand dont allow you to use tenso tho

>>9333829
its all UGLY

>>9339188
ok really? i think this season had some weaker pieces but I liked the look overall

>>9338321
You don't need a wig for any jfashion

>>9339187
Tenso is a forwarding service; you want a shopping service. Shopping services buy the order for you. I use Zenmarket.

>>9339213
I agree but Bonbon pieces are quite nice price when -70%. It is getting close to Forever21 and other cheaper brands. Unfortunately the nicest pieces from sale are already gone but I consider the pom pom tops.

If I have to see another one of Chiffon.Fleurs ugly outfits tagged as Larme I'm going to scream...

Her poses are always the same and awkward.

Sara Mari gets on my nerves too I think she tries to hard and her outfits always end up looking badly put together.

>>9339223
Have fun doing himegyaru with your real hair.

>>9342715
Yeah I feel bad because chiffon fleur seems nice but something about her hair and makeup is too heavy for larme and draws attention away from her outfits...her outfits are sometimes sloppy, but personally I think hair and makeup is her bigger issue.
I really like saramari though, her outfits arent like "omg so creative" but I think they look cute and casual.

>>9342715
Out of all the the crap in the foreign Larme comm, you pick those two to rag on?

Personally I like chiffon fleur's outfits, although I agree with >>9342877 that sometimes the makeup can be too much.

Definitely disagreed on saramari's outfits being too "try hard." They look simple and wearable, save for a few where the proportions aren't right due to her height. I would wear most of her outfits, what's so badly put together about them?

>>9337649
Honestly since the end of Summer, dark/black hair has just been generally more fashionable in Japan. A lot of talent agencies got their girls to dye their hair dark again to try and stay on top of current trends.
Larme tends to take from whatever is generally fashionable a lot so this makes sense.

Kind of surprised by the shitstorm over some outfit selfies in the fb group. Normally I'd like to see it being less of a hugbox there but it was all kind of OTT.

>>9342715
I don't like seeing Chiffon fleur either. Her photoshoop is too much on her face.

>>9347536
I wonder what the narrative behind that pose is?

>>9347552
Thanks for posting these but without seeing more of the pictures I don't think she's at fault. Why shouldn't she post this? Sounds like she responded like normal to the people who gave concrit, only 1 person started an argument, and she's allowed to defend herself.

>>9347155
Not even a shitstorm, just people trying to give some well deserved concrit to baby's first selfie experiment and her using
>Well that's just like your opinion, man

>>9347616
The way she has an argument for the original concritter is so annoying though. She didn't take any of the criticism on board, just gave a bunch of excuses for why she's special and somehow exempt from something that looks bad looking bad.

>>9347620
She didn't start the argument though. I know cgl hates it when someone doesn't do anything with concrit but you can't expect people to get on their knees and thank you for it, especially someone who did not ask for your opinion. The other person is acting like it's a personal offence something like that got posted in the group.

>>9347628
Eh. I don't expect her to immediately improve or even do anything with the concrit, it was more the way she had a ridiculous excuse for every point brought up and completely dismissed it even though the posters were trying to be helpful. It's just rude as fuck

That pose looks bad
>Yeah well I'm a model and this is actually normal for models, like me, because I'm a model
You look uncomfortable
>Well I'm not because I'm a gymnast and also a ballet dancer
We can't see your outfit and this is a fashion group, so kind of off topic
>They do things like this in the magazine - using an example that completely shows off the outfit.
They're a little risque for the group
>Well look at this sexy drawing hmmmm!??


Everything she said may be true, but at this point she just looks like a lying child who can't accept they were wrong. Also doesn't help that she called herself taking selfies in her bedroom "A photoshoot"

>>9347639
I agree not everything has to look like a mirror selfie but the photos went a bit too far. If you want to do a sexualised shoot then by all means go ahead but it's not easy to do in a way that won't make the viewer uncomfortable.

>>9347639
>it was more the way she had a ridiculous excuse for every point brought up
I haven't seen the post itself so I didn't know this.

>Also doesn't help that she called herself taking selfies in her bedroom "A photoshoot"
English obviously isn't her first language

>>9347639
Yeah I hate how she used other people's pictures like that. It was petty, there's need to bring other people into this. But I think the people giving her concrit were also expecting her to just take it and thank them, and overreacted to her overreaction. Basically everyone needed to chill.

>>9347526
I mean I can't say I like the shoot or outfit, but I still find myself mostly siding with her. She didn't ask for concrit, period, so leaving it is kind of rude. Not to mention Brown was way out of line. As far as I know there's no rule against that kind of photo, so if people don't like it they can either request it be made a rule, or ignore the photo and let the lack of likes tell her it wasn't well-received.

>>9347609

Since when do you have to ask for concrit to receive it? posting a photo of yourself is asking for concrit automatically; if you're to sensitive to handle it, then don't post or state that you don't want any lmao.

>>9348030
Not that anon but it is one of the "rules" of the comm. although I agree with you and think that's a stupid rule anyway, but that might be part of why she got so defensive. I see a lot of she on both sides here.

>>9348035
*a lot of shit

>>9348035
damn, i'm not a part of the comm so I didn't know; what an ass patting rule. I thought cof was bad enough...

>>9347526
I mean....I could barely see what the outfit was or how it flowed together. That is my biggest problem with it. The awkward ass and titty emphasis is uncomfortable but not the part that bothered me. And everyone involved just kinda sperged out and got passive aggressive and carry over things that are not a big deal at all.

>Was gonna say it seemed like the girl just wanted ass pats
>And then thought about how easy it would be to give her ass pats since her ass was hanging out

>>9348035
Lul I'm part of it didn't even know we had a rule like that, I can see where they're coming from but it's still silly

>>9348035
Agreed, I think the rule is in place to avoid situations like this. Some people just don't handle concrit well, and some people can't give concrit politely. Clearly OP is part of the former, but the people giving concrit had at least asked first then discussion would have been a lot less heated.

>>9347639
I think the initial reactions to the concrit were normal for someone new to a community but the Brown poster kind of lit the fire and she blew up. The pictures aren't even bad but no one criticizing her put an emphasis on the real reason why they don't like it and it's that you can't see the outfit!!

>>9348295
>the pictures aren't even bad
Are you kidding me? They're plain awful, but I agree I wouldn't mind them much if you could actually see the outfit.

Sad news today that LARME magazine model and idol Rina Matsuno passed away in the early hours of the morning. She cancelled a concert appearance on the 7th to stay home and recover but then 5am on the 8th an ambulance was called and she didn't make it to the hospital.
Japan is pretty private with these kind of things so it's not unusual that her parents haven't said what happened.

>>9348030
She didn't argue with other people giving her concrit, just Brown, and then other people started commenting on that for no reason.

Wig suggestions for larme?

Are you kidding? Just because it's very illegal and a taboo subject doesn't mean nobody takes it. I always found if annoying the Japanese are so secretive about cause of death, it just fuels the aids/drugs/anorexia rumors. Because most people believe visual kei and idols have tight links with the yakuza it's actually not a stretch to think they can get drugs and hide it.

>>9350012
>I always found if annoying the Japanese are so secretive about cause of death, it just fuels the aids/drugs/anorexia rumors

Same. Not just in the fashion/idol sphere as well. Hated the way that after that massacre the families chose not to reveal the identities of their relatives who were killed. Like, someone killed a bunch of disabled people because of your societies attitude towards them and you're just gonna perpetuate that shame? Fucked up.

On drugs though - I don't think you have to necessarily be a member of the yakuza or even have connections to get hold of drugs. It took my old housemate around a week to find a dealer when he got back to Japan. They're not as big a deal as people like to make out I think.

>>9350020
I've never been to Japan but my friend told me she saw someone getting a shot of something (probably amfe according to her) right in the street. I just meant because some Japanese people already associate idols with yakuza they'll easily believe drug rumors about them too. Sage for off-topic.

Are you new to J-fashion or? Most Japanese fashions look odd or fetishy or weird to normalfags, you have two choices, wear it and cease to give a shit what westerner normies think or don't wear it. If you live somewhere where people might actually physically harm you though, you have my sympathies.

Anyone else think pic related looks like the kind of outfit a Larme noob might coord and tag as Larme and then get shit off of us here for looking tacky?

>>9352831
Yeah probably. Most of what actually makes LARME outfits good at all is styling and not being ugly.

>>9352831
I'm not new to jfashion, I started wearing lolita years ago so I have experience with negative reactions and creepy men commenting on how I look too. I just genuinely did not know it's fetish wear. At least with lolita I know they are the ones misunderstanding what I wear. But I don't want to be in a situation where I meet a colleague or family member and they see me wearing something meant for a fetish, and I can't say anything to defend myself other than "I just like how this particular piece of fetish wear looks".

>>9352831
To be fair, a lot of girls who are into Larme DO think swankiss is tacky.

>>9352772
At he same time though chokers have become pretty mainstream in the past year, at least among fashionable folk. It's not like it's specifically a jfashion or fetish thing. I wouldn't necessarily expect that to happen wearing that particular choker so I'd be surprised to get that comment too. If it had an o ring or something then I wouldn't be as surprised.

>>9352831
Okay, but this isn't just a general ~Jfashion is different~ thing. Larme intentionally uses fetishwear and lingerie elements in their looks (or on the case of dog collars using it straight up). It's not like when people think lolita is fetishwear because it's weird and poorly named. Larme intentionally is designed to give that impression.

>>9352841
hun that's not just a choker, it's a dog collar and that is 100% a fetishwear thing

>>9352845
Ok whatever you want to call it 'hun', it's gone beyond the fetish world to the fashion world, as have harnesses and the like. And that's not just in jfashion.

Of course, people still get hot under the collar about thigh high socks and those have been a part of mainstream fashion for years now. Personally I just accept that I look a bit odd to people. It I've personally never had comments like anon got. Maybe people here are just nice enough not to say it to my face. I can live with that.

>>9352839
Without knowing what your friends and family are like, why not? I don't see what's wrong with liking something purely for aesthetic reasons, it's pretty much the basis of all fashion.
I will admit though, it brings up interesting issues for westerner Larme fans, concerning how they approach these risqué elements in the fashion especially if they just like how it looks, with no kink involved.
I've read many times over the years how a lot of women in Japan who wear street fashions do it as a form of escapism, and they have an arena of sorts to do this freely without recourse (Harajuku, etc) so with this in mind they have the ability to wear anything risqué without the same harsh judgement from the rest of polite Japanese society or how westerner societies would judge certain outfits, whether we like it or not. Also, lets face it, Risa Nakamura et al are MODELS, they work in a industry where they can wear pretty much what they want without having to care about upsetting the norm.
In short we can't get away with wearing what our Japanese counterparts wear because normie westerner society will judge you, but I've got enough confidence from years of being into this fashion, that at this point I don't care.

>>9352844
It's a damn shame that people like you keep banging on about this one element of Larme like its the entire fashion, when there are so many other sweet girly looks covered in the magazine. Larme at the moment seems to draw attention from the sexually repressed section of J-fashion and equally cringey daddy pandering bullshit in >>9349848 and >>9347526 both of which I wish would just fuck off already.

>>9352968
>both of
It's the same person

>>9352968
I'm >>9352844 and I have never "banged on about it" before. I am aware there are a ton of non-sexual looks in the magazine. This why I'm here--Larme has a lot of directions to go in with a lot of different aesthetics.

My point was more "don't wear the fetish shit and then get confused when people think it's fetish shit"

>>9353879
You're going to get weird looks wearing Larme or other jfashions regardless. I don't know why you're harping on the fetish stuff.

She actually looks quite on point for the new toned down cult party type style that's popular amongst Japanese Western vintage lovers right now. She looks like she could work at daisy shop or barrack room. Looks like a case of too-many-tags syndrome.

Even the shoes are like what The current crop of Virgin Mary shop girls would wear with this kind of outfit, although I have no idea why dirty old shoes became such a popular part of the trend.

ANYWAY, not Larme although some people have been posting Japanese vintage resale shops in the Larme tag on tumblr for some reason so maybe that's where she got the idea.

^ and sorry that pic was Virgin Mary to illustrate the grimy shoes example. Here's some Barrack Room.

>>9355104

Quite frankly such shoes shouldn't be worn ever. It looks ratty.

To come back to what >>9354975 said that's a really unflattering picture she looks really haggard as >>9354983 pointed and that makeup puts emphasis on her wrinkles,eyebags and nasolabial folds. But the outfit isn't too bad if you take off the shoes and replace the white thing underneath?

>>9355117
I think it's lighting more than makeup. Her entire face is in shadow which always emphasizes whatever flaws you have.

But again I do like the outfit and it fits in with some of the new crop of Japanese vintage shops. While Larme magazine does pull stock from vintage stores from time to time (they get things from Grimoire pretty often), they style it in a much different way that it looks more Larme. Again, this is a case of using tags that don't fit but the outfit itself isn't bad for what she's actually going for.

Larme is so painfully boring and/or ugly as sin, why is everyone creaming their panties over it?

>>9355129
It's mainstream in Japan and for Western weebs it's an easy way to wear Japanese clothes without standing out too much.

These two >>9355104 >>9355105 have quite a different feel to >>9354975 though. You can see a defined silhouette, I could easily see the second one in Larme

>>9355132
That depends on the 'intensely' of the styling I'd say but yeah you wouldn't definitely pull as much attention as say, a full lolita coord would. I don't mind that though. I work in studio almost daily so couldn't get away with a big 'cumbersome' silhouette because we physically don't have enough space, so wearing larme makes me happy.

>>9355144
Meant to write 'intensity', I'm ill atm and evidentely can't English. Sage for double post

>>9355126
Naw I have really deep "tear troughs", puffy undereye bags (depending on the day) and noticeable nasolabial folds too and if I try to place blush the exact same way a lot of Japanese girls do I have the same issues. You have to play around with the blush placement to suit your facial features or else is can really emphasize undereye puffiness and the deep lines. The shadows and pic angle don't help either, but the makeup placement is also gonna contribute a bit.

>>9355132
So basically it's for pansies?

>>9355144
Well I could probably find you something that looked almost exactly like >>9354975 worn by a Japanese girl if I was looking hard enough, I just pulled examples from recent postings. All I'm saying is that it really is not horrendous like some people here think it is. It's just not Larme.

>>9355144
>>9355202
I mean it's normie clothes if you don't wear the fetish and nymphet stuff.

>>9322480
Buy some magazines cheapie. Or browse the brand sites.

>>9355337
Thing is there ARE actually a lot of scans out there. Anon is not even trying.

>>9355417
Aha but they want NEW scans, the old ones won't do. If they are too cheap for a magazine though, how will they afford any fashion anyway? So it really doesn't matter.

>>9355420
Because cgl is full of people who don't wear jfashion but like to tell other people what to do, and they can't nitpick about current trends if they don't know them

>>9355459
More so in LARME than even lolita, I'm guessing because of dat sizing. :^) I'm wanting to see some western girls wearing this.
I'm just a curious reader here so far who has bought a couple of the art books/magazines, do girls post their coord photos in the FB group? Any personal blogs?
All I see are model photos ITT.

>>9355420
There are new scans though. Scans of the latest issue are all over tumblr. They literally started getting posted a day or two after anon's whining.

>>9355480
A lot of girls post on the Facebook group but most of it is average at best, alog with some really terrible crap. There are some on Tumblr and more on instagram.

>>9355485
Thanks for the info, I'll check the tags for coords. Any specific brand rec's for girls 170+ height? Shoe suggestions too since US size 9?

>>9355491
I'd follow xoxsaramari on insta and tumblr and see what brands she wears. She's pretty tall.

>>9355491
People always suggest Asos but the quality of their shoes is abysmal. If you only want them for looking good in have a look at what they have as a lot of it is pretty cute, but if you actually want to walk in them I would just get a quality pair of black Mary Janes and start from there.

>>9355603
>>9355619
Thank you both so much!

>>9355491
>US size 9
I don't actually wear Larme, but I am a 9.5 and used to buy gyaru shoes from DreamV before it switched to Larme/normie clothes. You could check there.

>>9356311
Thank you! I've seen some very cute DreamV heart heeled shoes but the sizing was smaller on them so I assumed all of their sizing was smaller. Guess I need to check again. Shoes for us and skirt length for people over about 165 are two things I guess might be trickly in LARME.

>>9355619
I have some high heel black velvet maryjanes, those might work.

I need to buy the most recent magazines to see what's developed. I like darker colors in things but I've seen a decent amount of darker shades plus black, white and accent pieces of red and leopard.

Has anyone tried adding eyelets and lacing to existing garments like skirt in >>9320665?
I don't see eyelet lacing in a lot of western things but it's something that would not hard to add in some cases.

I'm assuming sizing is similar to gyaru since they share some brands, so that will leave out quite a few larger girls who will need to look in western stores for similar styles?

>>9356385
I've added eyelets and lacing before, but they started popping out easily. I read afterwords that if you're using thinner fabrics you should use grommets instead of eyelets.

As for sizing, yes it's similar to gyaru, but if you can fit lolita there'll be a sufficient amount of brand that fits you; it just might not be pencil skirts.

Would you gulls consider this larme?

>>9357555

Melanie Martinez and her fans are such cancer.
And to answer your question: no. the top is the only nice thing (and maybe that fluffy whatever-it-is on her head),her makeup is trash,her hairstyle is lazy.

>>9357555
The eye makeup is too heavy, looks more western/gyaru.

>>9357555
Is that armpit hair?

>>9357555
ARmpit tho

>>9357555
Agree with the makeup, you need thinner eyeliner. A fringe would be good too, but right now it looks more like the tumblr nymphet style. Cute, but not larme.

>>9357555
This made my skin crawl, at least don't pose in a way that your double chin pudges out

>>9357580
It's definitely not gyaru makeup, it's just pink eyeshadow and huge ugly eyelashes. The glitter isn't even on her cheekbone

>>9357614
It looks like her lashes are trying to crawl off her face.

>>9357555
Ok so if this is you then you need to go back to the drawing board and look through some of the scans again.

Softer makeup would be a big one. That's definitely one of the biggest things a lot of girls wearing Larme in the West get wrong.

Ditch the baby blocks choker, it makes the look too Melanie Martinez like other anon said. I know Katie has done some baby room printed things but in general it really doesn't fit with the look of Larme.

The gingham top isn't bad, but I'd recommend a cardigan or something on top to limit some of the skin exposure around your shoulders.

>>9352758
Next time ask him "are you into anal because your face looks like a giant butthole"

>>9357555
Makeup is too heavy in general. You want thinner eyeliner and lighter lashes for sure. You're also using some very bright pinks, which can totally work, but if you don't understand the style well it's better to avoid them. Maybe try something softer or redder. Personally, berry is my go-to.
As for the outfit, the choker is a no-go. The top is fine, but bare in mind that even though there's no blouse rule in larme, it is still a fashion from Japan and they tend not to like to expose their chest and shoulders as much. Maybe try layering it over another top or under a cardigan like >>9357633 said.

>>9358121
The reason why I didn't suggest layering a top under it is because I don't think she can fit something under it. Maybe something semi sheer, I dunno. But a cardigan can work.

Ew, that top/dress is going somewhere but there's nothing cute or feminine about it apart from it

There's been a lot of discussion about brand quality/fit and so on, but what about accessories? What brands or styles are your favourites, gulls?
Personally I find Katie has some really great
pieces, they're super sturdy and give you that put together look. Mon Lily used to have some cute earrings but not so sure about now. Got some jewellery from Bubbles too, but the quality on those is abysmal.

>>9359932
I think Katie's accessories are amazing too, but I got mine from a lucky bag so they weren't as expensive. Bubbles is cheaper so I don't expect the same from them.

>>9360033
What did you get? I've been curious about Katie's lucky bags anyway. Yeah I didn't expect them to be indestructible but the earrings I got became completely discoloured in about... 2 wears? The Mon Lily ones are still going strong after a year, not to mention I've got a few pairs from aliexpress that have been holding up much better so it was a bit of a disappointment.

I have a pin from Katie; it's about what you'd expect from a pin.
Bubbles I have one of those leather heart chokers (pic related); it's nice, it's better than Bonbon's for sure. I have a similar one from Spinn's made of ribbon that tore as soon as I tried to twist the closure back to the back of my neck.
My choker from the Onespo 2015-2016 lucky pack fell apart before it even showed up, so there's that.
I have a pair of earrings from MonLily that I've never worn, but they seem nice enough; evidently they're already better than Onespo

Do you mean Risa? I think that is just a bad photo, there are videos where she looks exactly like her photo and fan pictures too. I think you can get a bad picture of anyone and most girls take like 50 pictures and share only a few so yes you definitely shouldn`t be too harsh on yourself.

Here is one video of Risa where she looks stunning imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqoU3CICH9E

I´d like to learn the secret of Risa`s huge eyes, they seem a bit smaller or at least more narrow in old pictures. Now they are quite round too! I wonder if she uses tape or had a surgery.

>>9361201
If you look at the pic in >>9360925 they're still quite narrow. I think she has just perfected her angles and makeup, plus tape and different circle lenses.

Compared to back in her Katie days where she'd wear lower lashes that emphasised her slimmer eyes. The darker circle lenses she wears now also help enlarge her eye.

>>9361198
>there are videos where she looks exactly like her photo and fan pictures too
Are you aware videos can be altered just as much as pictures? Fans also alter pics to make their fave look good. Not saying Risa isn't good looking, just that she shoops herself a lot not without reason

>>9361555
I have see Risa in real life in an event in Tokyo and I think she looks very good in real life too. In pictures she (and most models) appear more pinkish pale than in reality and good light in photos makes anyone look better but I think she looked very close to her pictures. Clearly she blurs her insta pictures a lot and possible enlarges her eyes too but anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRiCIch_3jc here she looks similar to what I saw in real life

>>9361555
Anon, the probability of someone taking an unflattering photo of risa is much higher than every single fan who took a flattering photo of her having shooped risa to look better. Please be reasonable.

>>9361945
I said she's goodlooking. I just used her as an example because cgl loves to hate on people who shoop themselves a lot, but if Risa does it it's okay.

>>9360857

Katie always looks a wreck anyway anon. I fucking hate the eye bags they do - its the same with Taylor R she looks so much better without them and now she has them to live up to the Asian beauty market but it makes her look weird. So not natural.

Katie's terrible at Larme anyway

>>9360925


Risa is very cute even in normal candids! I think she looks lovely. Remember guys - we learnt this from Dakota Rose aka El Real Life Barbie and that pictures online/selfies are not everything.

I think Risa looks decent and close to her selfies. She takes them at an angle to appear more dolly and cuter. I do the same too with mine! I dont mind a normal family picture or selfies with friends where I look more like I would in person but it's all for trend and for fun at the end of the day right?

:)

>>9361198

She looks like her pictures but not one hundred percent. Being mind its the angle and the light so it enhances the way she looks. But I wouldn't say she looks the EXACT spitting image. No one does.

>>9361997
Skim read this and thought you were talking about the brand, ha.

Speaking about Katie I don`t get why some people feel urge to constantly rant about their prices. Katie is not the only more expensive Larme brand and it is a smaller brand. For example lilLiIlly and Honey Mi Honey are about the same price but they almost never come up when someone complains about the prices.

Someone pointed out that Katie´s latest items are basic and boring so the prices should be less but well monlily`s designs are often very if not too detailed but the prices are cheap -and so is the quality. The amount of details doesn`t always tell the quality, I don`t know why it is so hard to see. If the design is simple and you can find something similar cheaper good for you. Sometimes the quality of the cheaper and the more expensive item can be about the same, sometimes the items can look as good in pictures but the difference is huge in real life and in long run. It is not really my problem but I can`t help being sometimes annoyed by this “why everything isn`t cheap” attitude when there are many affordable brands around.

>>9363079
Because people are stupid. Katie has existed long before larme, they don't care or need to stand out compared to other larme brands. Their quality is nice and really durable. PS if you buy fast fashion it may be cheaper for you but the earth pays the price.

>>9364005
I had no idea this site existed. I love seeing how shop staff style themselves because it's less OTT, but seeing real people's coords are even better. Thanks, anon!

Could anyone post photos or preferably links to videos for inspiration for Larme appropriate makeup? I always end up defaulting to a 50's pin-up look with red lips, smokey eyes and thin eyeliner, and it looks too western. Even when I use a more berry coloured lip, I'm having trouble with the eye makeup.

>>9365181
Check scans of the actual magazine

>>9365181
Use warm medium brown all over your lids, and maybe a shade or two darker to deepen the crease. For lips, try a transparent red gloss, or reddish pink lipstick. In the magazine, most lip looks are glossy or satin finish, and in the red to pink spectrum. Also avoid eyeliner with an upturned wing as most larme makeup tries to make the eyes look round (and almost droopy).

I think the tutorial Risa did herself is the easiest way to do larme makeup.

>>9365186
Will do, thanks.

>>9365207
Alright, I'll try that. I'm starting to think that my issue may be that I use too light of a base colour (usually light pink) and it's too contrasting to the colour I'm using on the crease (a dark brown). By satin would matte be similar?

Same! I'm late twenties so I find it hard to balance looking feminine and not looking like mutton dressed as lamb. I love looking through this site for inspo and it encourages me to keep doing me and that I can still dress feminine and maintain a bit of individuality.

>>9365405
I seriously love this outfit and pastel colors in larme in general.

>>9365558
me too!

It feels like Risa's cool, mature style is the one that's most often emulated by the Western comm and don't get me wrong I really love that style, but I really like the sweet outfits too. I don't even tag my sweeter looking coords as Larme anymore because they're seen as not Larme enough.

>>9365214
Yeah highly contrasting colours, especially if you already have striking features, might make your look too strong. Try one shade over the whole lid or shades that are only a few shades apart.

And no, matte is not like satin. If you really want the colour from a matte lipstick then top it with a balm or gloss because matte lips aren't really seen in the magazine, and are a very Western trend.

Good tips!

I think that one thing that can help someone with strong, dark eyebrows to reach larme feeling better is making your eyebrows less dominant. You can bleach them a little or use brown eyebrow mascara that is a bit lighter than your hair colour (if your hair is brown or black). Right now lighte eyebrows are trendy in Japan and even in Larme you rarely see very dark solid eyebrows. Because strong eyebrows are trendy in Western countries I often see girls doing nice larme inspired make-up looks with really strong eyebrows, it can look ok but just not very larme.

I think that light brown eyebrows make your look more sweet and youthful!

>>9365598
Please post some of your sweet outfits anon! I'd like to branch out with my style a bit & would be interested to see what else people in the Western comm are doing.

>>9363079

In my opinion anon they're all a con. Half the things in Katie are only ever ideal if you're a Japanese model or using them as props in pictures.

How do we all feel about Venus Angelic being featured at the Honey Mi Honey fashion show guys?

Would any of you want her modelling for Larme or Larme brands? Or Dakota?

>>9366098

>>9366132
>>9355097
Are you guys really so new that you can't recognize sarcasm?

>>9365598
I think the reason is that Risa's style is more recognizably Larme whether or not you get the hair and makeup right. A sweet outfit without the right hair and makeup just looks sweet, and those are both things a lot of the Western comm has trouble with.

>>9366101
Links or photos? I've got nothing against her, but it does surprise me that they'd be the Larme brand to choose her; her aesthetic is a lot younger and bubblier than theirs. I'd sooner expect her in Honey Cinnamon or something.

>>9366192
> A sweet outfit without the right hair and makeup just looks sweet, and those are both things a lot of the Western comm has trouble with.

Probably because they have western features. Asian makeup looks fucking stupid on westerners unless it's modified, which obviously makes it look less larme. and imo nobody non-asian looks good with bangs like Risa's.

As much as people say how important they are, I've given up ever having "true" larme hair and makeup. They're just things that will never look good on me, or most westerners. It's not like the magazine is made with anyone other than Japanese girls in mind.

>>9366192

Is it cruel of me to say I wouldn't want Venus or Dakota featured in Larme or any of the brands again? I know Dakota was in the first issues but I dont think I can stomach Venus either. I really do not like them.

>>9366451

Agreed I think if most of us westerners did do our make up more natural then it would look decent with Larme. Instead of being a tit like Katie and Taylor R are FORCING eye bags to happen or ugly circle lenses.

Eh? Plenty of Japanese girls Ive seen on Instagram in those salons you see advertised have hair like Risas though?!

It isn't even hard for god sake. Half the make up is aimed at Asians with THAT eye shape but it can easily be done for westerners? Just natural make up and lip gloss with a pink blush thrown on their cheeks. It isn't even difficult.

Gently curled hair and thats it?

>>9366101
She attended their spring exhibition (models, bloggers, etc are often invited to such events). Please show me where she was featured, other than an Insta pic with one staff

>>9366548

That's depressing, it means Venus might get involved more with brands. Didn't she get involved with Angelic Pretty once and that was a flop?

I don't find her dolly at all. Apart from her angle she uses and her hair is fried to a T too.

It's bad enough Popteen had to drag Dakota around and other brands had to forcefully put up with her due to her manager pulling strings.

Now we might have to put up with a yellow-facing visa marriage run away with baggage and a crazy mother alas false/terrible social skills.

Just great... why can't Japan hire normal people?

>>9366551
IDK about Angelic Pretty but she did model for Bodyline (much cheaper) and that resulted in drama between her/her mom and the owner.

>>9366601

I feel like I saw this used a while ago for even cheaper than that, but maybe it sold

If you really just like the style I found a taobao knock off once. I can try to look it up when I get home if you're interested. I understand if you want the real deal though.

>>9366613
I don't buy knock-offs but I would get something of a similar style if it was considerably cheaper. I love the peter pan collar and leather combination.

>>9366605
I used to draw freckles like that on my face when I pretended to be a witch as a child (I thought witches have freckles no idea why).

>>9366515
>Eh? Plenty of Japanese girls Ive seen on Instagram in those salons you see advertised have hair like Risas though?!

I said non asians can't really pull it off, not no one but Risa can. I'm talking very specifically about her bangs, they're a sharp triangle and they start really far back on her head, but she still has hair visible behind them from the front. You just look like a twat if you get bangs like that and you have a small forehead or any prominent facial features. You need to have a stereotypical "Flat" asian face.

>Just natural make up and lip gloss with a pink blush thrown on their cheeks. It isn't even difficult.

I've noticed that for myself and a lot of girls with more prominent noses and cheekbones asian blush placement looks awful.

>>9366515
I kind of agree, I can`t see why westerners people couldn`t do the similar hairstyle or makeup with nice results.

After all Risa`s hairstyle is not that weird or special imo. Many longish bangs would look about the same if styled by the right way and I think this style is currently very trendy in Japan outside of Larme too.

And yes I think that you can adjust the make-up a little depending on your eyeshape or features but again I can`t see why very similar style larme inspired makeup wouldn`t work on a western face. It takes some time to figure out what works with your face the best and with a little practise you can perfect your makeup skills all the time. On instagram you can find a few girls who do the style very nicely (both hair and makeup) although they are not Japanese or Asian so I think it is all about practise.

>>9366670

I haven`t really thought about how the size of your forehead effects on your bangs, because I have a high forehead and bangs myself. Now when I think about it all girls I know with Risa`s style bangs or close to that have high or medium high forehead. Risa has high/big forehead too after all.

Yeah maybe exactly same blush placement doesn`t work for everyone, sometimes blush under your eye area can make you look tired if you have strong features

>>9366670
I have a small forehead and normal bangs look worse on me. The triangle bangs are much cuter and easier to style. Mine don't start really far back tough. It's the most common style with western lolita's too and it looks fine.

>>9366670

Anon, no offence but bangs are bangs. Half the angles Risa does make her look better. That picture of her on Honey Mi Honey's IG today - she looked just normal? I find her normal as anything when she isn't in her own selfies or heavily edited to look paler, dollier. I like Risa dont get me wrong but her nose is quite bulbous and her eyes are the only thing that makes her stand out if truth me told.

Also the Larme hair... just look up wavy hair and you can easily do it. Just because it isn't on a Japanese girl doesnt mean it cannot look good.

The make up thing.. I agree with. It looks shit. Look at Katie's ugly mug and that speaks for itself.

>>9366663
Well, isn't >>9366605 evidence enough that some witches actually got freckles like that

Anybody else disappointed by the last and current season of Larme brand and magazine trends? I really liked the stuff I saw a year ago. But I feel like brands have been trying to be "edgier" and darker lately, if that makes sense. I'm like >>9365558 and prefer the pastel, dreamy side of larme but it seems like the fashion is gradually moving away from it. But who knows, maybe it's just a temporary trend

There isn't much special about Larme makeup. It isn't like gyaru makeup, which was very distinct. It's a natural look with slightly different blush placement and heavier blush.

Some part of it might be because a lot of white people are pink toned while the majority of Asians are not. I have to tone my face with a green toner every time I put on make-up, and for blush I use very cool pinks, nothing warm. Otherwise my face looks red. And I don't even have rosacea. I'm also randomly guessing! We also have different face structures but I believe that most people can probably pull this make-up off, if they adapt it to their features, if that makes sense.

Fashion Squid was the best for adapting Asian trends on a western face, but her style is very outdated now, she was popular during the soft sister/larme transition, hence the heavier makeup and use of golds.

She looks nice but to be honest the makeup doesn't look like the current larme makeup, maybe when the first issues came out these would had looked larme to me. The circle lenses look too unnatural and the fake lashes are too dramatic imo. The eyeliner is also quite strong, alhough the makeup is good it looks like just a a little softer version of gyaru makeup.

>>9367078 She is pretty but word larme would never come to my mind when looking ar her. She looks like a j-fashion fan but not specifically a larme girl. The makeup could work with larme but again the lashes look too dark and dramatic to me. Maybe a different design would work better?

>>9366605
She's so cute it's a shame she fucks it up with her shitty makeup

>>9367577
She is very cute but in one of the latest Kawaii international episodes she was trying to act kawaii a little too hard imo (speaking with faked kawaii voice, doing some learned kawaii gestures). You can look cute and be cute without faking your voice and doing some anime gestures. I like how some models who look cute, for example Risa and Tsubasa still talk with their natural voice instead of trying to sound kawaii. The food she cooked in the episode is food that Japanese girls stereotypically mention as their bravura food when they want to make a guy fall for them (it is delicious and traditional style food).

I agree, people make it out to be some heavy trend. It's pretty natural to me. Most westerners try-hard it too much and it goes over the top.

>>9366671

Exactly! I mean just look at any white girl with the typical Tisha Paytas curly hair, do that and just do a very natural make up look? That's all Larme would suit on a foreign white girl.

Black maybe a twist out with their natural hair and ditch them tacky fucking wigs. Mahou Shani and Ebunny (Including KATE) were at some foreigners Larme meet up today, I'm so tired of seeing black kawaii-itas wear wigs. They're tacky.

But thing is about Larme make up on foreigners... on Japanese girls it looks natural? It isn't anything difficult. Yet foreigners keep messing it up?

>>9369697
Larme makeup is quite natural compared to most makeup "styles" but the makeup pictured isn't maybe the best example. The lashes are very dramatic and would ruin the larme feeling. I think many girls have done gyaru or other j-fashion styles before larme and this is why they are used to more dramatic makeup and big lashes. Right now very natural, brownish lashes are popular in larme so going for something like that helps to create the look.

>>9369735
Honestly I feel like most Western girls don't even NEED to wear fake lashes. Maybe that's what's making the style look so harsh. Most Asians have pretty sparse lashes so adding even just some light natural lashes makes a huge difference, but most white girls in particular have long enough lashes on their own. Obviously not everyone but you know.

>>9369735

I was just using an example? It's better looking than the shitty dolly wink lashes half the foreigners tend to use and winged liner.

Honestly, it just suits western features more. A more mature mellowed down look. Maybe with smaller lashes then?

There is no need for clown blush and drawn on freckles like Kate somehow seems to think is appropriate.

>>9369763

It depends? Not every foreigner has big lashes anon but maybe a bit of a natural lash wouldn't hurt.

I think it's features which play a part. If you can work something out with your own face which creates a good illusion then it will work.

It's like everyone expects each other to look like Risa Nakamura in the community. When will people realise Asians and non-Asians are totally different.

>>9369763
Yes I agree, you don`t necessarily need to even wear fake lashes if you have naturally long or long enough lashes. If you have long lashes and wear both false lashes and mascara your eye makeup can easily become a little too dramatic accidentally.

Why is it a thing that people say they want to wear more larme fashion... and always point out that it's an uncomfortable fashion... and then say that they actually prefer not to wear it... and ask for advice on how to wear a fashion they prefer not to wear...

uhh... okay? make up your mind.

I think I know the post in the fb group that spurred this...

Anywho, idk how it's uncomfortable? Like obviously there's pencil skirts and heels which aren't comfy, but at the same time you can also get away with wearing what is essentially just glorified pajamas.

Compared to Lolita or Gyaru it's pretty comfortable imo

I looooove long skirts and the fact that they're fashionable now is just lovely! Lots of inspo on how to wear them. And let's be honest, there's nothing comfier than a long flowy skirt

Tbqh I thought you meant the other Katie at first from these statements until I realised you mentioned the recent gaijin meet.
