Hawaiian Summer ♥ - Sweet June 2010 scans

**Picture heavy post!!!**

So if you lovely ladies don't already know, I am madly in love with HAWAII ♥. I've been there once in my life, but merely visiting brought me a sense of peace and belonging. The natural beauty of the islands is truly unmatched. The people there are incredibly friendly, the shave ice cannot be beat, and the views will forever imprint your brain with images of true paradise. A trip to Hawaii just leaves you in awe!

I was pleasantly surprised to find a nice spread chock-full of Hawaiian beachy goodness in the latest issue of "Sweet"! The beautiful Ms. Nic Nic from "Bang Bang She Shoots" has some scans up as well from this edition and I fully agree that this is one of my favorite Japanese magazines because it appeals to people older than 20. LOL.

The timeless and age-resistant Ayu graces probably her 1,000,000th cover :) She is so flawless it hurts!

The spread is titled "Alice in Hawaii" Wish it could be more along the lines of "Irene in Hawaii" LOL



Love the Summer vacation getaway clothing - so breezy and comfy!



















































An 'out-takes' photo from the first photo!



[mini rant]

Alice must be one of the magazine's models that reappears time and again...I failed to mention this beforehand because I did not want it to desecrate your enjoyment of these fine Hawaiian photos...BUT Alice keeps making this face or doing something with her mouth that MAJORLY irks me! Why the endless assortment of pouts? Did you just down a gallon of lemon juice? Stop taking yourself so seriously - you're in freaking HAWAII!!! They should have picked somebody that had a sunny disposition to match the sunny island feel!

[end rant]

Maybe I'm just jealous...I would probably just be smiling from ear to ear nonstop in every single photo!

*sigh*

I still want a cute mad ruffly bikini since well...ruffles are good for people like me ;)

Okay couldn't resist...

Since this post is so Summer-oriented, just wanted to mention that I will be hosting a Summer-love contest shortly with equally lovable prizes! :)

To all my lovely readers, enjoy the rest of the week and get some SUN (but don't forget the sunscreen)!

SCawaii April Edition Scans

♥ SCawaii Scans from the April edition! ♥

Again, I did not scan these lovely pics but somebody out there (whom I thank a gazillion times over) did take the time to do this --> ♥ . If you want to view the whole magazine, you can download it here.

According to the internet, this is a magazine for "adult gyaru" which basically means gyaru that have graduated from HS. (Not saying much for me, but I still am absolutely in love with some of the cute, light, & airy-sweet outfits :D )

Some of the basic trends that are continuing into the Spring/Summer:

*~Again, more sweet floral dresses~*

*~More cowboy and All-American inspired outfits! Time to break out my own boots!~*

*~And everything in-between!~*

*~Makeup is softer but as usual, TONS of lashes!~*

*~Holy Moly, even the adverts for PADS are so adorable!!!~*

Some more of the DOLLY WINK propaganda that I am slowly giving into...check out the before & after pics!!! (with circle lens = WOW)

The beautiful Leona Lewis got a page to herself!
( ♥ her new song "My Hands")
