✧ Japan - Day 2 ✧Harajuku~ Part 2

Hello❤

I have a day off from University so I am going to finish off telling you guys about my second day in Harajuku!

As we walked along Meiji Dori, there were a lot of cute shops that sells super kawaii clothing and furniture. For example, this little shop that caught everyone's attention called Harajuku Smile Camp has really cute clothing similar to spank! and inside of the shop there were 2 massive plushies with lolita dresses on!❤

 

And another shop that sells cute clothes is closetchild,

however closetchild sells secondhand lolita, punk clothing and secondhand CDs.

So you will have to be really careful about the clothing as they might be damaged in some ways. But because they are secondhand, their dresses are way cheaper then what you would get in a brand store.

 

Talking about lolita, another shop that sells lolita dresses and other clothing is Bodyline! Bodyline is quite popular among beginner lolitas as they are cheap and are not too pricey. And they are a great place to get accessories like socks and shoes. Other then lolita clothing they also have costumes for cosplayers.

When I heading back to the Harajuku station, I saw two lovely girls in yukata outside Harajuku Smile Camp so I asked them if I could take a picture with them! They are super nice❤  

And while me and mum were waiting for my dad, a bunch a Korean guys came up to me and asked me if they could take a picture with me, but for some reason they couldn't work out how their camera work so while we're waiting for their friends to fix the camera we had a little conversation... they were speaking fluent Japanese to me! Haha, they were super surprise when I told them that I am not Japanese.❤ It is really lovely meeting different people!

When all met up and decided to to have dinner in Shinjuku as they have a lot of ramen restaurants! But before we left Harajuku, of course we have to take a photo of the iconic Harajuku station, but the lighting was really bad so I do apologise... ❤

When we got back Shinjuku's Kabukicho, the street was exactly the same as yesterday! It was busy, the lights are still super pretty~ After walking around in Kabukicho we finally found a restaurant where we can have a quick meal.

 I had a miso ramen, it was really yummy! ❤ The funny thing about the restaurant we had our ramen from was that we had to get little tickets from a vending machine right outside the door, and when we hand our tickets to the cook they will start preparing it! 

After dinner, we headed back to the hotel to get ready for the next day❤

Look at how pretty the restraunt is~ It is super Japanese!

 

I had so much fun in Harajuku and even writing my blog now makes me really want to go back. The people, the shops, the fashion around Harajuku is just too awesome! And I will definitely go back to Harajuku when I've finished university and this time I am not just staying there for one day! ❤

 

 

 

✧Japan - Day 2✧ Harajuku~ Part 1

From the moment I stepped off the plane in Narita airport,

I have been seeing cute girls in yukata and the amazing night view in Tokyo.

When I woke up the next morning and saw the completely different side of Tokyo. It was quiet and lovely, people are having sweet little conversation.

I just knew my day would be lovely! SO let me tell you all about it ❤

 

 

I wanted to wear something simple and not to much layer because of the hot weather in Japan so I've decided to wear my OP from Anna House which I brought in Hong Kong.

Headpiece: Anna House

OP: Anna House

Socks: Off brand

Shoes: An Tai Na

We've decided to go to O1O1 first because we arrived to Shinjuku late yesterday and didn't have a chance to visit O1O1.

 When I first got out the hotel, I saw this lovely lady in yukata waiting for her friend so I asked her if I could take a picture with her. She was so cute and nice, I loved every detail on her yukata, the floral pattern and her bag❤

We had to take the taxi to O1O1 because we have no idea how to get there on foot and it was just simply too hot outside. When we got to O1O1, the mall was still close so we wondered around for about 10 minutes.

 

O1O1 with all my favourite brands❤ 

From Baby, The Stars Shine Bright to Moi Meme Moitie!

 Randomly taking pictures outside because O1O1 was still closed❤

When O1O1 was finally opened, we decided to start from the top and go down each floor and apologies for a lot of word because photography was not allowed in O1O1. When we went to the top floor, there was a anime event happening so we quickly went back down a level because there were a lot of people waiting.

And on the floors below were all the different lolita brands including, Baby,The Stars Shine Bright, Angelic Pretty, Metamorphase Temps De Fille, Black Peace Now, h.NAOTO, Moi Meme Moitie, KERA shop etc.
I bought a Usakumya bag and a little dress for her from Baby, The Stars Shine Bright And a lot af assessories.
We were in a hurry because we were only staying in Shinjuku for one day and I really want to spend the rest of my day in the famous Meiji-Dori in Harajuku where all the amazing street fashion is happening.❤  


Outside the Shinjuku JR Station to take the train to Harajuku❤ 

The train from Shinjuku to Harajuku was really quick, it was only 2-3 stations away so it was really convenient and I am really pleased that I was able to get off the right stop.❤ 

The Harajuku station sign and me with my Rilakuma fan.❤ When I got off the Harajuku station, I nearly had a heat stroke so we decided to stay a while in McDonald while we all cool off and had a quick lunch in McDonalds! After about 2 hours when me, mum and dad are back to our normal temperature we started our journey in Harajuku!

The Meiji-dori in Harajuku is exactly what people described, colourful, full of personalities but I personally don't think there are any words to describe how amazing Harajuku is!

 

Super Kawaii shops and Pastel clothing EVERYWHERE!❤ 

 

Amazing Platforms❤ 

Crepes, the display looked super yummy❤ 

 

And this amazing girl advertising the 390 yen shop around the corner❤

While I was walking around Meiji Dori, there were lots of tourist asking me if they could take a picture with me, it is really funny because I am a tourist in Japan as well, but every time they took a picture with me it really made me happy because I felt like I am going to be part of their journey and memory in Japan. And opening their eyes to the Kawaii street style I loves so much!

 

 

One of the photographer Mr.Yukuse took a picture of me and asked me if they could put it on their facebook page Harajuku.asia (Harajuku.asia FB Page) So take a look if you want to know what he wrote about my outfit!

I still have quite a lot to write about my day in harajuku, so don't forget to come back soon to read about the rest of my day in Harajuku.❤

 

 

✧Japan - Day 1✧

Hello Everyone! ❤

Apologies for not updating my blog for so long, I was in Hong Kong for 3 months to do some shopping and to see all my families in Hong Kong. And now I am back to England and will be updating my blog regularly(Hopefully)!

 

When I was in Hong Kong, I was so lucky to have had a chance to go to Japan! This time was my the second time in Japan, and I was all prepared and done my research before I went! I will be telling you about my First Day in Japan~ ❤

 

 

❤ Day 1 ❤

 

This is my outfit for my first day in Japan, The flight to Japan from Hong Kong is about 3-4 hours and we started at 8am in Hong Kong!

❤I really liked my new pink suitcase!❤

And I was in love with my galaxy top from Argyle Centre~

 

From Hong Kong to Japan Narita❤

 

 

When we arrived in Japan Narita Airport in Tokyo it was about 2 o'clock in Japan,and since we booked our hotel in Shinjuku we have to travel to Shinjuku straight after we landed! By the time we got to Shinjuku it was about 7pm and we stopped by the famous red light district Kabukicho!

Kabukicho is a famous red light district in Shinjuku, but instead of walking through the main street we went to the underground mall! There were so many cute shops~

A super pretty shop selling Kimono and Japanese tradition fabrics~❤

 

The calm and quiet underground mall compared to the main street~

After walking in the underground mall for about 2 hours, we went to Humax to have our dinner!

 

Kubukicho main street❤ Pretty lighting!

 

And there are load of UFO catcher machines on the ground floor❤

For our dinner we went to Nabezo, they are a restaurant for hot pot with a buffet of different ingredients! After dinner, we went straight back to our hotel to get rested and ready for the next day~

❤ Our lovely dinner ❤

 

 

And this is it for my first day in Japan!❤

Stay tuned for my second day in the amazing Harajuku~

Also, I have a new instagram: ribbon_kitty

❤ Quick Update on my FMP collection video❤

Hello Lovelies,

I've just moved houses because of University, and I have super duper busy unpacking and organising my stuff so this is going to be a quick update❤

I have uploaded the  short video of my collection on to youtube, so take a look if you're interested! ❤

Please let me know what you think❤

 

❤ End Of Year Fashion Show❤

Sorry I haven't been updating my blog lately, I have been quite busy this week because we had our Art Show on Monday and Fashion Show on Wednesday! The Art Show was mostly for the art, photography students in our college, but because fashion is a part of the Art department. We also have to display our work we did for our Final Major Project. In the display are my moodboard, accessories design, illustration for my collection and the photograph of one of my outfit.

 

 

On Wednesday we had our fashion show! The fashion show was really important for us as second years, we can show off our collections and everything we did during our time in college.❤

 

We have different jobs for the fashion show, and my job is a hair and make-up caller which is basically telling models when to get their make up and done. We are very lucky to have professionals coming in this year to help with make up and hair!

I am really happy with how my dress turned out, The models and dressers were great to get my dress out on time! I am so proud of everyone and a massive thank you to my tutor who helped me for creating the collection that is really important and personal to me! ❤  

 

 

 And here are some pictures of my collection:

 

 

 

Please let me know what you think about my collection! ❤

❤Finito of my Final Major Project❤

Hello everyone❤ Finally my final major project is done and dusted!

It is so strange that everything is finished, my 2 years in college doing Fashion... Everything just feel really unreal. We will be doing our fashion in 3 weeks and then we'll be leaving for our summer and university! I have a feeling that our fashion show and last day will be really emotional even though I don't really get on with the people in my course~ But after all that crazy deadlines and stress we all went through.❤

 

The one person I really thank is my tutor Katie, she was the one who was really encouraging me to be in lolita!❤ If my ex-tutor was still here,she would not be very happy with me in my lolita for the FMP critique and it would be 0% chance she would let me do my project on lolita fashion. So thank you Katie!!❤

 

Last Thursday we had our photos back from a photoshoot we did for our programme in the fashion show, here's a sneak peak of the photo:

The photo was done by the photography students in my college.❤ I am so proud of my collection even though I don't really like the sleeves but overall I've really enjoy making something so personal to me!❤

 

 

 

Last week I did a video of me doing the Gwiyomi player in lolita, I've always wanted to do something like this❤ I am thinking to do some J-Pop dancing sometimes soon during the summer! Anyway, here is the video of me doing the Gwiyomi❤:

 

Let me know what you think of my Gwiyomi Player
