Sadly it was the last day of my whirlwind trip to Japan. Victor and Belle both decided to sleep in, so I decided to go for a ride to Asakusa.  Continue reading…

Today Belle and I were excited to be attending the Angelic Pretty Princess Dreamy Carnival Tea Party with Jamie aka Tokyo Pirates. We had managed to line up our visit so that we were able to attend the event. This was my second time attending a Angelic Pretty Tea Party and I definitely was not disappointed!

Today Belle and Victor were having a rest day in, but as I was only staying a week I was heading out to make the most of my time in Japan. I was heading out to Yokohama and had organised to meet up with Mirukuma who had been my shopping service previously. We had never met in person so I was looking forward to meeting her.  Continue reading…

Today I was lucky to be in Japan for an Angelic print release, which was for Mercator Antique Shop. My shipping service, Tokyo Pirates had  kindly offered to guide us on how to pick up a release, as depending on the shop it can be quite complicated!  Continue reading…

Today’s destination was Shibuya and Nakano. Belle really wanted to visit Grimoire and I hadn’t been before so we decided to pay a visit. It was a bit of a walk from the train station and also out of the way of the main shopping strip on Shibuya.  Continue reading…

So, Belle my lolita bestie in Melbourne decided to go to Japan. I got invited to a facebook event 9 months out and told to save the date…. Having just bought a house with my partner I really wasn’t sure that I could afford it. Now cue letters, phonecalls, skpe, facebook posts and hints to my partner over several months that I should be allowed to go with her. I had a talk with Chris and we decided to tell Belle, if sale flights came up with Jetstar to Japan, for the dates she would be going, that she could count me in. Fast forward to October and I got the email….. sale flights to Japan! Woo Hoo!

Since Belle is in Melboure, she flew over earlier with Victor and I met up with them once I hit Japan. So here I am, first day in Tokyo, meeting up with Belle and Victor in Harajuku and to top things off, its my birthday.

Ghibli_mainnSadly our last day in Japan had come and we had two priorities, first making sure our bags were packed and ready to go to the airport and going to the Ghibli Museum. The Ghibli Museum had been shut for the first part of November, so once it was reopened it was very busy and hard to get tickets. This is why we  ended up going on the last day of our trip.
