Agejo style guide

Today we'll  be looking at the agejo style! If you're not familiar with this style, then take a moment to...

Picture a lady with fair skin and long curls. Her light brown hair towers above her head as if the higher it goes, the brighter her smile gets. Her cheeks are rosy, her lips light pink. She laughs at something said over the phone, and you notice it’s covered in rhinestones and tiny cute decorations. She’s in the sexiest outfit you’ve ever seen on someone in the daytime, but somehow there’s a hint of classiness you can’t ignore. Finally she flips her phone shut and saunters away. You can’t help but wonder… what’s her secret?

That is probably how I envision agejo in my gyaru fantasy land. For me, agejo evokes images of grandeur and sexiness with hints of class along with hair that could make Amy Winehouse jealous even in her grave. :D

Now let's take a look at what agejo has to offer!

Magazines

If you want agejo inspiration, definitely check out Koakuma Ageha!

You can choose to buy it online from places like JBox (Haven't tried this yet, so check reviews first!), read it online through Vvshu, or download it from a website like Zasshiko. 

P.S. You might also want to check out Sakurina's movie Girl's Life! I've only managed to watch half because I can't find the rest of it on a non-torrent. :( (Or if someone can tell me how to buy it, I will be so grateful!)

Do you dress in the agejo style, or incorporate it into your look? If you do, want to share a picture? If not, does this make you want to add some bedazzle into your daily coordinate? ;D
