We woke up on day 5 and thankfully the sun was shining! I had pre-booked the four of us to go to Studio Shiki for Maiko Makeovers in Gion. Our bookings included a outdoor photography shoot, so we had been hoping the sky would stay clear and it didn’t disappoint! Continue reading…
Today I had planned to meet up with my Japan Shipping Service Lolita Desu. I have been using her sevices for a little while and when I mentioned that I was coming over for a holiday to Japan, she very kindly offered to show us around Nagoya. By some stroke of luck, it also happened to fall on the day that Angelic Pretty decided to release Melty Cream Donut. I had never attended a release before, so Fox was happy to meet us and show us the steps! Continue reading…
It was out third day in Japan and I was ready to shop! Sharon and I were heading out to Osaka for a day long lolita search. Sarah and Leticia were feeling a little flat after the last couple of days, so decided to take it easy
and visit some local temples in Kyoto. Sharon, I do believe that means that we have out shopped our younger travelling companions! Continue reading…
After a nice long sleep in we headed off for our second day in Japan. As it seemed that we all got a good nights sleep, we decided to walk to the train station as opposed to taking public transport. Continue reading…
Qantas flights from Australia to Japan are overnight, which means that you arrive at Narita to welcome a bright new day (providing you got a good nights sleep) Luckily for me I don’t have any problems sleeping any where, so I got a fairly good nights sleep.

Funnily enough fruit for breakfast was exactly what I wanted, I had set that as my preference in my frequent flyers before we left Australia. Little did I know that setting that status means that you Continue reading…

1. Lolita purchase? Alice and the pirates Tartan Check Velveteen Conversion JSK which I bought off Ebay a couple of years ago, I very stupidly thought I was the only person buying “japanese fashion” and I had noone to wear it with so I just wore it around the house. Continue reading…
The first Harajuku no Yoko was on the 4th May. The local council created the event to be held roughly once a month to encourage cultural diversity and freedom of fashion, in particular showcasing Lolita Continue reading…
Today we were heading out to Nakano Broadway, most stores there only open up past midday so we had the morning to spare. As we were heading through Tokyo station to get to Nakano I decided to take the gang over to character street. Keep in mind that Tokyo station is huge, so make sure you leave enough time to try and find it as well as shop, its well worth the visit if you can find it. You may need a couple of hours especially if you have a thing for Japanese characters and mascots! I think Mimi’s face sums it up pretty well! Continue reading…
Disneyland, the happiest place on earth! Matt was the most excited out of all us to be going to Disneyland, his whole reason for wanting to come (despite spending time with his lovely friends) was to go to both of the Disneylands in Tokyo. Chris and I had decided to visit Disney Sea last time we were here, Continue reading…
