GLAVIL

PUNYUS

CO&LU

KOKOkim

Review - TaoBao

My first review from Taobao using their shopping service too purchase clothes! I am a fan of the rokku gyaru style and I needed an outfit for an upcoming J-Rock concert in my country and wanted a rocking outfit! I love Glavil and GLADNEWS - and I have a few items from each from my trip to Tokyo. I heard about TaoBao but it always confused me so I stayed away from it (having to use a shipping service put me off - but I could not find SNH48 cds anywhere apart from Taobao so I took the plunge and tried a service, and it was successful!)

I used TaoBaoRing and they are really helpful and really easy to use. You can put your items in a cart and see how much they would be before you commit to buy - they then message you if its in stock to pay the first bit, and then again when they receive the item. The even told me that it would be cheaper to use Airmail (even though I had picked Chinese SAL) and charged me for Airmal!

Post and Packaging 4/5

Even though it was Airmail it did take a while. It was shipped on the 18/02/2014 and arrived today! I think I expect to much since CDJapan takes 7 days, so I guess I'm spoilt. The packaging was good! Simple and effective  and below is how to packaging was inside the envolope

Product 5/5

I ordered this on a whim from the Glavil search engine and wondered if I was getting a knock off, bad quality piece of clothing but it really wasnt! It is really nice and big and comfortable. It also looks good on as well! 

Service 5/5

I would recommend TaoBaoRing as they have an easy system and friendly staff! They take a picture of your items and give you a tracking number for you to track your parcel and they have a system where yyou can log in and check on all your orders - when you receive your items you can click "received" and they go into your archive or question them if you feel like it is taking too long!

Overall I am super satisfied with the service and my item and will gladly order from them in the future!

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
