I missed out Day 4 cos all i did was walked around, got hit by a sudden headache and slpt almost the whole day away.
Anyway,It was really cold today cos it was raining.

Free Mc Donald’s coffee made my day.
It was off to Harajuku agaiTn.
And was greeted by Hangry and Angry~!!


Naoto is having an event today~Cute sales people are cute~!!
My mission for the day is to find a polaroid back for my Holga~!
And the destination~!

an obscure store with a tiny sign.

An awesome amount of old cameras and toy cameras make my day~!

The polaroid back was out of stock and I ended up having to buy the Holga champion kit.
it consists of:
- Holga 120GCFN
- Polaroid back
- 35mm film back
- Fisheye for Holga
- Fisheye holder attachment
- Holga effect kit which includes 11 filters
- 35mm 120 and polaroid films
- Holga phone strap
Awesome amount of nonsense which costs me a grand total of 39,900yen T___T
I am so broke.

But yes you are the King indeed.

The other toy camera at the bottom is the Golden Half by SuperHeadz.
and i also bought the flash for it.
It’s supposed to take photos like this.

And I phailz epic at taking polaroids.
I’m totally not used to the fact that I have to use flash.


Dinner is Okonomiyaki~!!!

Shannen and I met up today to walk around.
I’m kinda tired to blog right now so I’m going to just show pictures.

Shot for the day.
I love love love love the corset. but it’s such a pain to wear.

Shannen and myself in Mos burgers at almost sundown, realising that we still didn’t have photos of each other.

Dinner today is at First Kitchen. The best fries in the world are served here.
Spoils for the day~!

Mille noir underbust corset which I saw in Nagoya~ I got it for 8,800yen. CHEAP~!!!
Moitie jacket with bat wing pocket flaps.
Naoto blood long skirt.
Sumi skirt
Victorian Maiden bolero.
I also bought alot of random bento crap from Tokyu Hands which I’m too lazy to post up.
And a ridiculous amount of hair rollers from Daiso.

Plane ride was uneventful, so don’t expect any reports on that.
Immigrations was a pain to clear. It took me more than an hour to clear it and collect my luggage. After that it was smooth sailing, from buying train tickets to Tokyo and finding my way to the awesome apartment that I’m staying in.
I’m staying in Kodenmacho, a station near Akihabara on the Hibiya line. In this apartment block called Stylim.
It’s an award winning apartment and everything inside just screams “DESIGNER~!!!”

They put so much attention into the equipment and fittings. The toilet seats that are installed have heater function.
The kitchen space is small but functional and useful for just one or two person staying there.

The entrance area’s light is activated by a motion sensor and the pendant lamps in the apartment are made to slide around so that you can achieve different lighting effects.
The toilet heater has an announcement function when you change the temperature.

And i stole this photo from zer0. LOL…

Isn’t it freaking awesome???
So after being super awed by the apartment, zemotion and I set out for Harajuku. I bought a whole bunch of Swimmer stuff which came up to about 8000yen. D:

Yes I know that’s alot of bento boxes, but they’re not all for myself.
This was yesterday’s lunch.
Beef stew omelette rice from Jonathan’s.

I forgot to add that there was a h00j mob in Harajuku near the entrance of Takeshita dori. I think alot of people were stampede-ed to death yesterday.
We then went to Shinjuku and I went crazy.
I bought all these.
Moitie blouse and choker, Excentrique underbust corset~!

I almost bought everything that I wanted to on the first day.
But I still can’t find the polaroid back for my Holga.
Ideas anyone?

an obligatory “box photo”. My mum’s bed. bedsheet patterns are teh sux.

I was a little disappointed with this as there was alot of pilling. :/

This is off brand, but i like it much better. And yes, I am in a musical note phase.

MA OP

MA JSK

MA Headdress. When i get things, they must come in a set. I remember when someone outbidded me in this and I got soooo pissed. This corsage is MASSIVE.

Pocket jsk. I wanted this sooooo baddddddd. I paid an obscene amount for it. okay… i exaggerate… but definately more than retail price.

Hawase. I have this in pink. and i decided i wanted it in white as well. I’m regretting it now actually.

Neko OP from Angelic Pretty. I love this so much. I was pleasantly surprised to know that the material is jersey and very comfortable to wear. Unfortunately, it was kinda swimming on me.

Btssb shirring of death blouse. Not too excited about it. the shirring barely stretched when i put it on. basically it’s shapeless on me now.

btssb choker. the jewel is really sparkly~!

another one in black. I have double colour syndrome. I need everything in 2 colours.

btssb pearl choker. This is such a gem to have. I am in love.

Btssb madelaine shoes. My second favourite shoes.

Btssb pearl chandelier shoes. My favorite shoes.

last but not least, the jsk i paid an arm and a leg for.

So all the stuff that I ordered finally arrived a few days ago.
I was estatic when I received the package. I was ripping everything off, it’s like a lucky pack that has all the awesome stuff except you already know what’s inside it.
Please excuse the lousy pictures.
First up~ The pink stuff.

This is a lovely cardigan from baby. It’s no longer in production and I love it to bits.

Next up, pink sleeve stoppers from baby~

My lovely Hawase headdress

Which needs a dress to go with. the Hawase OP is really a beauty, it’s much much more beautiful in real life. I’m considering getting a white one.
Then comes the black stuff.

Baby headdress.

Baby cardigan which i love MORE than the pink one. they’re still selling this. and the cut is just amazing. It fits in all the right places.
Then comes the Mary Magdalene stuff

Stupid tag was in the way, I didn’t notice until I photographed it.
And my Favorite item of the pack. I will never sell this. And I nearly cried when I saw this. It is just so so so beautiful.

It is so beautiful it’s pwnage. Certainly pwned my ass.

Sneaky japanese starting to bid for the auction that I was eyeing for 10mins before it closes.
But oh yeah, I was there to see it happen. Betcha think I was complacent, thinking no one would bid for it no? IN YOUR FACE~!!!
And after contesting for 20 or so minutes, I emerge victorious with this~!!!

My Mary Magdalene headdress finally came in the mail~!!!!
And I think it’s a bloody conspiracy that 2 blouses decided to be auctioned at the same time.
I’m stalking auctions like nobody’s business. I think I’m obsessed. But I want those items dammit.
I had caviar for lunch today *random* and certain people from a certain country pissed me off today.
I NEED TO STOP STALKING AUCTIONS OH GOD SHANNEN I’M TURNING INTO YOU~!!!!!! D: LOL~!

Sigh… I was only contemplating the all black jumperskirt on Sunday…
And I went out and bought all these in 2 days. T___T
The major pwnage is the Vivienne Westwood bag that was love at first sight~! T___T SHOULDN’T HAVE GONE TO OIONE CITY~!!!

Here’s the damage:
- Baby the Stars Shine Bright Black Jumperskirt
- Baby the Stars Shine Bright White Cutsew
- Baby the Stars Shine Bright White Parasol
- Angelic Pretty White Headdress
- Putomayo Pocket watch
- Vivienne Westwood Black leather bag
I saw this caucasian girl in OIONE who was really funny. She was speaking spanish if I’m not wrong and she was practically hyperventilating when she saw Baby the Stars Shine Bright. I was standing around paying for my shoe clips and parasol when she did that. I found it extremely amusing thinking back at the first time where I, myself was standing there staring at H.naoto. I must’ve looked really funny to other people then too.

3 years ago when I was a poor struggling artist design student, I saw something so godly it made me think that John Galliano is a genius.

I was jealous of this girl. I wanna scream “bitch~!!!!” then tear her hair off, stab her and steal all her bags. Isn’t the boston bag lovely? *squeals*
But my fav bag is the Dior Girly reporter bag.

I’ve been angsting over this bag for the longest time and by the time I decided I had enough money everybody had gotten over it and no Dior stores would carry this bag anymore~
But my recent trip to Milan brought salvation. Actually, it was more of the train ride to the borders of Switzerland that brought it. I was shopping in this mall which houses several top designer brands like Dior, Prada, Gucci, Ferragamo, Valentino, Burberrys etc etc. And they sell past season items at discounted price.
I wasn’t gonna care that it’s backdated and that I’m not in-sync with the latest fashion. I love the Dior Girly collection and I absolutely love the reporter bag. >.<
I went to the mall with an open mind not expecting to buy anything and then this bag was sitting harmlessly on the shelf….and i was “=.= oh~ win already lor~”
Then came several minutes of angsting and shopping at a few other stores before I succumbed to it. Heck I’ve been wanting this bag forever, I wasn’t gonna let it being “out-of-fashion” destroy my love for it. XD
So here I am, hugging my favorite possession for now while my boyfriend thinks I’m crazy to spend this much on a bag when I could’ve gotten a PS3. :/
But they will never understand.
