You need to check out Issey Miyake’s fall fashion for 2008-9, they are stunning and quite sensational. Not all of his designs are made for daily wear, flamboyant as they are but then again you never know when you’re on the streets of Japan.
Check out the link to his fashion mag: Issey Miyake 2008/2009
I am hoping that the weather would turn out for the better soon. It’s not exactly normal when snowflakes fall during spring in 4 degree weather. It didn’t stick but it still snowed, which is quite a bummer. Here i am hoping that if i just blog about sunshiny stuff the sun might finally revealed itself and let summer begin already!
Nice sunnies for you viewing pleasure, courtesy of Asiajam:
Omg I never thought I would live to see the day where I thought these are cute. But they are. Quarter life crisis perhaps.
Bags are from AsiaJam.
Here are two scarfs I found that I completely adore. They are weaved knitted, which makes them absolutely fragile but it’s the fact that they are so fragile that makes them precious. Just like humans, the fact that we will never as beautiful as we are *today* makes us precious . Don’t you, fashion people, every forget that. End of life lessons.
Now let’s take a look at those scarves (Onatoko) :)
I use to think that keeping long nails are such a hassle because they keep chipping all the time. But then when I saw my friend’s extremely cool nail art, I figured you don’t need to grow 1 inch nails to have pretty nails. You just need to get some of these:
Glue them in and you’re good to go. Go to this site for more nail advice - apparently acrylic nails needs some attention so that they last longer.
Check out these cutesy rain boots. I thought they’re really cute for the cold season and you can wear them during rainy days as well :)

Gloves are “in” for winter. Not only do they keep the fingerlings warm, they are the latest fashion statement in Japan right now. Wear them bold, wear them long, wear them short, wear them furry, wear them silky …whatever you do, just wear them this winter because it is the trend.
Now, this trend makes a lot of sense to me because gloves are a necessity during the cold winter months. Here are some pretty hot looking hand sock that will knock your socks off!
Black Leather Gloves by Cornelia
The psychedelic space dye gloves
I am crazy about the black leather gloves. Maybe it’s the extensively long lashes that’s smarted my senses…..
I found some pretty insanely cheap and pretty hats from Onatoko that I would like to share. Since the weather is kinda chilly right now, I am looking for tooks and head accessories to keep me warm. After all, at least 50% of our body heat escapes through our head. It is definitely necessary to cover up on the top to keep warm.
Prices range from $25-$29 bucks each.
If you’re a big fan of Space Invaders, I’ll probably know how old you are. But it doesn’t matter, they have these cute and functional bag collection that I want to share. It’d be a great Christmas present for your sister or mom or for your baby’s diapers and bottle :D They don’t just have one design, you will have to check this page to see what other designs they have. Taito made sure they have every design covered.
In Japan, as far as I have learned, fashion is not just about clothes. It’s not just the shoes or the hair accessories or cosmetics. It’s also about the funky stuff they carry to support their fashion sense. Stuff like card holders, toothpick holders, plushy toys, danglers, etc are all a part of the word “fashion”. Check out some of the funk in these junks I found from Onatoko.
