Japan Winter ♥ Style

January 7, 2010

I love autumn/winter fashion the most. You get to play with layering and wear boots and put on matching scarves and all! So fun!

But I had the biggest headache ever before i flew off to Japan.

3 overcoats, 4 bottoms, 7 or so tops, 1 scarf, 2 pairs of boots and a few hair accessories. Already 20KG. How turf am i going to survive 18 days?

(Spare me all the backpacker style 2 sets of clothes for 6 months shit. I’d rather die and be buried under snow in shame.)

So here’s a humble style post (Ok not humble at all. been editing since this morning!!!) of my 18 days in japan. Will attempt to elaborate the items i wore just in case you like them! And note that some items might be for sale. So look out for them!

Sapporo ♥ Style

1. Purple Jacket from Zara–RM199. Bought it because it looks like it’s really warm (it really is) and it was the cheapest coat in the whole shop *kiam* wtf.

2. (Fake) Gucci from Shanghai. RM200. I know! Everyone has been asking me and everywhere i go people will be staring at it. A few Japanese Obasan (one from a fish market FML) even approached and asked where i bought it! And i told everyone it’s fake and they were like NOOO you should have just kept quiet. lol. I dont care la. I mean, what for spend 30X the money to buy authentic one when the Cheat One™ looks so damn good?

3. Pink leopard print hair bow from 100Yen shop.

4. Camera pouch from Claire’s. Got 50% discount. About ¥600 i think. Have to keep my tropical camera warm also so it doesn’t get sick what turf.

5. Little hair bow clip from Claire’s. And white cardi from Hong Kong. Like RM20 or something.

6. Fluffy hat from my host mom.

7. Colorful scrunchie from 100 yen shop. Fred Perry polka shirt and yellow cardi from HK.

8. Leopard print hair bow from 100Yen shop and furry coat borrowed from YC.

9. Another colorful scrunchie.

10. Seven Cap from HK, RM35.

11. Kimono from my host family, priceless.

12. Margarette-chan. Host family’s neko.

Tokyo ♥ Style 1

I had tahan for 10 whole days in Hokkaido and refrained from shopping. Once i got to Tokyo i went crazy. that’s why can see more varieties on my outfit. ^^

Style 1 is more Hime because of the items from Liz Lisa. Whereas Style 2 is more rock-chick cuz of another fukubukuro from Shibuya 109 shop.

13. Fluffy pink rabbit fur dress from HK. Surprisingly warm!

14. Fluffy white rabbit fur hat. For sale soon.

15. Leopard print Mickey ear muff from Tokyo Disney. Dalmation top from Women’s Secret.

16. Knitted flower hair pin, ¥315. Matching scarf (very very warm) ¥1,050

17. Distressed jeans from BACI. Thigh high boots from HK.

18. Japanese bathrobe from Vista Hotel.

19. Items from Liz Lisa’s fukubukuro!!! All cream-color! Knitted hat, over coat and knitted wear inside!

21. This hat might be for sale!

22. Same combination as No.7, different make up and hair do.

23. Ok getting repetitive.

24. Liz Lisa’s pastel checked dress and brown camisole. (The camisole is damn special, got chain and flower at the back!!!)

25. Liz Lisa’s white princess bag—for sale soon!!!

26. With Liz Lisa’s white coat.

27. Liz Lisa’s brown lace hat.

28. Cat scarf.

29. Duffy bear i didn’t get T_______T

Tokyo ♥ Style 2

30. Fukubukuro items from Glad News (what a name). Leather jacket, striped long sleeve hoodie top. But apart from Liz Lisa that’s my fav shop in Shibuya 109!!!

31. Skull and Kiss top from Glad News. Bored with my hair so i did a Cheat One™ short bob.

32. Spotted beret from Glad News.

33.  Smokey eye make up to match.

34. Leopard print fur bag from Glad News. It is actually the Fukubukuro itself! ^^

.

Ok that’s it!

  5. y MALAYSIA says:

    lurv yr hair so healthy! :twisted:

  6. ZoeLiam MALAYSIA says:

    Love your Tokyo style 2! #31 short bob with that hair is a perfect combination! :)

    I do have a question about homestay… Wonder if you mind to provide me an answer.

    Can couples go on homestay together? Or they go there individually like staying in different house?

    Thanks in advance! :)

    • asada MALAYSIA says:

      Hi ZoeLiam,

      We will place each applicant in 1 family separately.
      If you go with your partner, both of you will stay in different host family.

      The reason being, if both of you don’t speak Japanese, and if they can’t speak any other language other than Japanese, then end up you will be talking with you partner, and they will be talking with their children.

      There will be no communication. It’s not an culture exchange anymore.

      Hope you understand.

      By the way, I’m Wilson Asada from Titan Planet

    • asada MALAYSIA says:

      Hi ZoeLiam,

      We will place each applicant in 1 host family.
      Hence you and your partner will be placed in 2 different families.

      Reason being, if both of you don’t speak Japanese, then end up you will be talking to each other (assuming your host also don’t understand other languages besides Japanese).

      It will be quite sad/lonely for the host family.

      Cheers,
      Titan Planet

      • ZoeLiam MALAYSIA says:

        Totally got it! Thank you for the reply! :) But what if I can’t speak Japanese, how can I communicate with them? Or do I need to learn some basic Jap first?

        • cheesie MALAYSIA says:

          Need not. Not a problem at all because cultural exchange is the main purpose of the homestay.

          But we will conduct a basic speed japanese language course peior to the trip. :)

  7. hani MALAYSIA says:

    I wish I was better at getting dressed for cold weather, heck I’m not even good at dressing for normal Malaysian weather :@ other than the pink coat I got from ya, I only got another coat from forever21 when I was in the US. It was really really cold in Jersey and the day we went to NYC and while I had every intention to dress cute (super fail each time) the cold kinda just defeated me and I ended up just putting layers and layers of clothes and threw style out of the drain! :razz:

    Hopefully I’ll be better at it since we will go back to Jersey for every Christmas!

  8. JD MALAYSIA says:

    I like 11 the best. Hmm, don’t know lar but I think it’s because of the kimono. Makes one person look very gentle yet elegant. Hahaha. Oh yeah, titan homestay not bad. I think I will also give it a try, once I save up some money!

  9. Ann-Marie MALAYSIA says:

    Ringo,

    Great photo shoot! You have the JP winter look!
    #6 looks so cute and warm!

    Now where are you ski slope photos? (aka ski bunny)
    You have to learn how to ski or snowboard to become a complete winter person!

    David

    • cheesie MALAYSIA says:

      nooo i totally suck at sports. any form of sports lol

      • David 99.21.93.126 not found says:

        Ringo,

        You do not have to be good at sports to be a casual skier/boarder.

        I am sort of a hack skier, I get down the hill, but am never the fastest., I just enjoy the movement, freedom and the fun!

        David

        but it really looks so nice now. my hair is up to my butt but so straight n boring as hell

            and no, i also rebond my hair…=( it’s not naturally straight like yours, it’s got that weird wave thing u know?

            plus in the span of four eyars i’ve bleached n dyed the ends twice, curled, straightened and dyed again so i now do hoem treatments twice a week or else my hair is gonna end up looking like a haystack.

            i’d give alot of stuff to have cheesie’s old hair =(

  40. laura AUSTRALIA says:

    :) hey cheesie. what does turf mean? i noe im damn blur la. but i just started reading your blog recently then got addicted :P

  42. Mandy JAPAN says:

    Wah, you really make full use of the items in fukubukuro.
    I wish I know how to mix and match clothes properly. I look like orang kampung here. Haha.
    Saw sale in Shibuya 109 but don’t know what to buy. Even the dress you bought from Liz Lisa is on sale. Best if I don’t mention the price.

    • cheesie MALAYSIA says:

      the good thign is, everything in the fukubukuro can be matched together. so it’s real easy!!!!!!!

      Omg how much!!!! TELL!!!!!!

      • Mandy JAPAN says:

        will get myself some fukubukuro from shibuya but have to wait till next year. :cry:
        I got 1 from other place, trying hard to look different. ;-)

        if you insist. 49xx and there’s certain designated period where some clothes are priced at 19xx.

  43. kiwi SINGAPORE says:

    *envies* When I go overseas, I tend to dress up very frumpily as compared to that locally (not that I dress up also la), because of the thought of having to bring so many things overseas. But looking at you dress up so nicely, it makes me want to dress up when I’m overseas too!!! ;-)

  44. cereza MALAYSIA says:

    u look so cute with all the hair accesories!! i also like to buy hair accesories, but once i use them will forgot where i put n will never find again for looong time.. im so unorganised.. :@ :@ hehee.. the cat scarf is too cute to be true… :twisted:
