Online shopping!

I have been looking around Taobao recently and decided it was time to get some more fashion again, rather than the AKB48 cd/dvds ive been buying!

Its 239 days until Im in Japan again and this means I need to get together some new clothes - not too much mind you cause I want to buy so much when Im there. Im gonna try and take the bare minimum, within reason! I still wanna look some what stylish haha!

Ok, so onto my finds!



I hope Im not the only person excited about BOY LONDON opening a store in SHIBUYA 109 *squee* I cant wait to go there and have a look! Right now though, Im happy with replicas haha im not that rich :P


And again, replicas! Ive alwats wanted a Vivienne Westwood necklace and this was cheap so I thought, why not!


Now these, I am excited for! Mameshiba trousers! They only had L size, but that will do me! Though Im a bit iffy about the waist. The hips will fit, but the waist might not, so lets take a chance, ne?


And now the non-taobao orders! Got Koda Kumis tour tshirt ordered and on the way! oh yea! :D i keep missing them when they are on yesasia, but finally after tracking their pages for a week or two, they finally put up her tour goods for order!

Another 'tour good' - or rather, a graduation tshirt! Yuko Oshima is my oshi from akb48 and she is graduating and I saw this tshirt on tumblr and I was gutted I wouldnt be able to get it because there was no chance I could get to her gig, but on the akb48 online shop, they have it up for presale! it wont be shipped until the end of May but still!!!

Day 2 - Tokyo - Shibuya/Harajuku

So, we slept for about 14 hours the night before due to being exhausted but we were both ready for the day and excited to travel around and see Tokyo for the first time! And what better place to start than; Shibuya! (*´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥﹏°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ )人(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥`)

We were both excited as this was our first proper day in Tokyo! So i had to get ready (*^▽^*)


This was my outfit for the day! A bit more colourful than I'm used to haha but I wanted to look a bit amekaji! (・∀・) 


The trains were really easy to navigate and thats what I was worried about, but we got something called a SUICA card. I recommend this as its really handed! If you get JR Narita express ticket to and from the airport (they stop at the major cities, shibuya, shinjuku, ikebukuro etc) its about 5000 yen for the ticket and 2000 yen on your SUICA - They work like underground oyster cards - you just top up at a machine (in english) and just set off! You can also use the card in stores and vending machines (*¬*) I used it alot for vending machines!


Shibuya 109! I was so happy to finally in this building! Its every womans heaven, and I know Im a little on the large side in Japan (size uk 14/16 and boobs bigger than most japanese peoples heads...) I thought I wouldnt be able to find any clothes that would fit me tbh! I was pleasently surprised! I ended up with quite a few items of clothing from there (GLAD NEWS/XOXO) and accessories from CocoLuLu and GLAVIL - Pictures of those when I get them on those days hahah But this day I bought a cocolulu bag I'd had my eye on for ages online and a GLAVIL necklace! Japanese people are so good at selling things - even to forigners omg. I said to my gf "Aww i might be too big for this clothes" and one GLAVIL girl went "no no no! You are fine,  see baggy!" and pointed to one of the jumpers hahah (´∀`) trying to tempt me to buyyyyy ~ it nearly always worked though! so be careful haha


Tsutaya records had a BIG AKB48 display omg. Their MV collection DVD was out and they were doing promotions - seriously, AKB was heard /everywhere/ (°∀°)b and i LOVED it 


Tokyo Disney Store! Now, I've been to a few disney stores in the UK but jfc they go all out for their designs in japan! They even had a spiral staircase going up to castle rooms and had lots of disney goodies! I think I ended up getting my mum some disney earrings from here! 


And yes, that is billboard of Kojima Haruna (AKB) in her underwear (⊙ヮ⊙)


And a few picutres from Harajuku! We didnt get a crepe that day, the line was reallly long haha BUT we did find the marvel that is DAISO - its like a Japanese version of Poundland and has ...everything. XD Everything random and everything is 105yen. So I got some make up and its brilliant! We also found Closet Child (with a little bit of difficulty cause the VK shop is down a corner somewhere) and went into BODYLINE. We also found a KPOP store! Thats where most presents came from, and I found an AKB48 photo store (not official obvs but I bought a few pictures and they had unofficial merch and stuff =w= i was in heaven)



My gets for the day! :D i love my BOY cap (▰˘◡˘▰)

Next up; Akihabara/Kamakura
