Vogue.

UT inspired by vintage Vogue covers from the Condé Nast Archive in New York. I really like how the dress of the lady matches my jacket. Pixelled mess in the background, and dirty mirrors are a must. Weird eyes can be a plus.

Spring, will you ever come?

Shinju, mon amour. No, not really.

Today I wanted to go to some aquarium, mainly because I love the life under the sea and wanted to try my new DSLR camera. The whole situation had lead to a huge argument with my lovely boyfriend, and instead we had to go to Shinjuku, a commercial district in central Tokyo, for "some window shopping", which according to him it means "hunting for overpriced clothes with skulls on them in the only three shops I actually like, but at the same time we have to go up and down the same mall about five times and OMG THAT BURBERRY NECKTIE I NEEEED". Sweet. No outfit post, because 1)I looked miserable and used the camera I was holding as an excuse for looking ugly 2)my boyfriend wouldn't take a picture of me, because OH THE FLOWERS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET ARE SO PRETTY *shutter going crazy*.
Anyway, this is what I got.

Lumine 8F Restourants area, particulars of the walls. The first wall was made of old pc monitors, keyboards, fax machines and so on. Pretty fascinating. The second wall was made of colored pieces of plastic, in neon colors. Really pretty.


A huge crab. And it was moving. What else should I say? Tiffany's looking absolutely pretty, as usual. Even that ugly facade can look more acceptable because of Tiffany's.


0101 aka Marui, a popular shopping mall for young pepole. The neon thingy is a Uniqlo something. Uniqlo advertising can be pretty interesting.


Sabot with pink inserts. Issey Miyake, you know everybody loves you, but don't you think those are a little bit over the top? Camel and pink, for GUYS? No, not really. If you are interested, expect to pay 52.000JPY for those ehrm, those yeah, shoes mh. Isetan x VOGUE Nippon. Cats, Japanese love cats. The Isetan crowd love FASHIONISTAS CATS. Great.


I finally rewarded myself with some Italian gelato. 0101 1F is the spot, if you love gelato as much as I do.


Chinese tourists everywhere. I couldn't take a proper front picture, because they where EVERYWHERE and didn't move even after I started complaining in Japanese. However, in China they have giant-pandas, and here in Japan they have giant-cats. That thing is about 2.50meters tall, I guess. Did I mention the love for cats that Japanese have, did I?

I feel like it's time to go to bed.

College life in Japan is not exciting.

Back to school, and finally as a sophomore. My schedule is pretty hectic, but I will try my best anyway. I need a stellar GPA or I can say goodbye to the Uni I want to go to as exchange student in NY.

Alice, Sophomore in Waseda Kindergarden and her new crayons (what my friends said)

And cherry blossoms, making this city look a bit more romantic.

And I recived a really lovely gift from Europe. Eheh.

Look around, there's no one.

Blasting psychedelic music at eight in the morning. My neighbours must love me. Sipping hot tea&Gettin ready for the Hanami madness and a night out, despite the five hours of sleep. Epic days, here in Tokyo. Expect a huge photo-dump tomorrow.

Juicy.

The scanner wouldn't cooperate with me, so I had to take pictures. Those looks were featured on Elle Girl Japan (April Issue). The brand featurated in this shoots is Sly, which also happens to be one of my favorite "109" Japanese brands along Mussy and Spiral Girl.

I absolutely love the mini-dress in the first picture. That 70's touch, that Twiggy feel... If I were brave enough I would chop my hair and change my life. Enough said, this dress will be mine within a few days, I just can't resist it. The print reminds me of my grandma Giuseppina aprons, and melted my tender tender heart.

Tour Eiffel leggings? Paired with a Tour Eiffel tanktop? Only in Japan. Maybe that's not a Tour Eiffel but a Tokyo Tower. Who knows. I don't, and honestly I don't want to. But look on the upper corner, see that little Pluto? Isn't it pretty? Reminds me of one of those round Chanel bags. The little thing seems to be sold out everywhere, no wonder why.

This is madness.

I remember when back in 2007 I went to Uniqlo with my pal Nadia, and bought my first denim skirt for 690JPY. That would be rougly 5.90euro today, but at the time the exchange rate was so sick I paid that skirt something like 4euro.

Uniqlo used to be the most un-fashionable brand here in Japan, and I can't really blame its status back then. The design used to be very plain and simple, but not in a neat way, the color rather boring and ugly.

But then some hansdome prince came and french-kissed the poor frog, turning it into a rather sexy princess. With some pimples, but still...

Nowadays Uniqlo offers some kick-ass basic garments and cool t-shirts for crazy prices. Uniqlo often collaborates with foreign and Japanese designers to create special lines. The Jil Sander x Uniqlo collaboration had a huge succes last spring.

Personally, what I love the most are Uniqlo t-shirts and leggings/tights. Someday I shall post a snapshot of all my Uniqlo t-shirts. Today I bought a Mickey Mouse t-shirt, in neon colors. I think I will sport this Mickey on drugs this Sathurday, at Yasu's Hanami. While I was checking the t-shirts out, a Japanese girl came by with a friend of hers, and basically said "OMG this t-shirt is chou kawaii (tres jolie), no, wait... this is Uniqlo! Jeez, if somebody finds out the shirt I'm wearing is from Uniqlo I would feel so embarassed..." and then stormed away.

990JPY of awesomeness.

Basically, this is what most of Japanese people think of Uniqlo. But don't worry, I can still trick them. I still think that a piece of crap can look awesome on the right person, and Uniqlo is lovely and look good on me. People has been asking me so many times where I got some of my clothes, and when I answer "Uniqlo" they go "NO WAY".

Basically, a certain type of Japanese fashionistas and wanna-be think that the more you pay the cooler you are, therefore Uniqlo is a big no. But, if you are in Tokyo pay a visit to Uniqlo, and I promise you won't regret it.
