My lifestyle involves constant traveling and over the years I have learned what to pack and how to pack it. You have already seen my outfits from the trip and this is what I packed to make sure I looked good every day For this trip I bought a set of three makeup bags from the Japanese dollar store. They are clear and easy to clean. But, they real reason I bought them was because of the saying, I always love things like that. In the big bag with most of the important stuff I had to pack everything in. My straightener was in there at first but I just ended up wrapping it in some clothes in my suitcase. I have my paddle brush, under eye masks to hydrate my eyes after every day of being in the cold, my Pantene hydrating hair serum sample that they were so kind to send me; this is a lifesaver because I have newly colored hair and dead ends, it made my hair feel and smell amazing all day, and my Limited Edition Rue21 perfume, even though it is winter I like to wear a special summer scent to cheer me up and warm me up. The two small bags had my toothbrush and toothpaste and various staple makeup products that I just put together. Just your basic drugstore makeup needs. This is not beauty related at all but it was an essential item on the trip. Everyone who travels and has a phone needs one of these. Mobile power banks are a huge deal in Japan and I jumped right on board. This can charge your device about three times from 0 to 100 percent in about 30 minutes. I think this is the proudest purchase of my entire life and when it breaks I will be devastated because this is something that I use almost every day now. Until next time xx

Nothing can prepare you for the madness of the Kawaii Monster Cafe. Stumbling upon this in a japanese blog post I knew I had to go and see the madness for myself. When you walk into the cafe, one of the workers asks if you are ready but nobody can be ready for the bright colors and catchy music. The first thing you notice is the merry go round and the Harajuku 'girls' that are walking around for photo ops. My friend and I were walking to the bar for pictures and one of the 'girls' jump scare my friend and started laughing. At first we were weirded out but, we could not help ourselves to a quick little selfie. The bar was hidden off in the back of the cafe and it was one of the things I was most excited about. Not for the drinks but for the huge FREAKING jellyfish. It was too early in the afternoon for the bar to be open but it did not disappoint. The pictures and desprictions do not do this place any justice. You need to go and expierence the madness for yourself. 10 out of 10 would recommend for anyone that wants to expierence how crazy Japan can really be. I hopefully will visit here many times with different people because I love it.
Until next time xx Over Thanksgiving weekend, my family, one of my close friends and I went up to Tokyo for a little bit of fun for the holiday. I always love to test out different looks over holiday because I will never see these people again and to me fashion is a part of traveling for me. For the outfit traveling there I decided to be a bit lazy with a sweat shirt, leggings, and a beanie. The sweatshirt has the words "Okay? Okay" on it from John Green's book 'The Fault in Our Stars' (_). My mint beanie (_) is from a little indie shop in Okinawa that I get all my cute little pieces from. And my leggings are just basic leggings. This outfit was so cute and amazing for Disney. I looked like Wednesday Adams lost in Disneyland. This whole outfit is from Forever 21 and I love every piece. The jacket (_) was a last minute buy but, saved my life all trip because it was not hot like Okinawa in Tokyo. My dress (_) is amazing, I wore it for homecoming as well and it can be dressy or casual depending on what you pair with it. The cream socks (_) were an impulse buy that have been collecting dust in my closet but when I bought this dress I knew they would look amazing. Sadly I could not wear my heels with this outfit and had to use Vans so I would be theme park friendly. My favorite outfit of the trip. I cannot link any of these clothing items because they were all finds in Tokyo and they do not have online stores. My dress was annoying because it was see through and you could see the black stockings but it made me feel like a was a flapper. The black stockings are paired with black knee high socks and platform booties. The beanie was a choice I wish I did not make but it was cold, okay?
Until next time xx |
