Tokyo!

11/26/2013

I was so excited to visit Tokyo. I've spent so much time in Asia these past five years but until now had not had the opportunity to visit. Japanese food is my favourtie kind of food, I truly can't get enough of it and having spend the last 1.5 years in Taiwan whilst we shot, released and promoted our movie 100 Days, I have really come to rely on Japanese food with every other restaurant a sushi heaven!! So I was very excited to come to the home of it haha. Aside from the food, obviously another reason for being so excited is because street fashion is so amazing in Tokyo. The Japanese are known for their love of fashion and not being afraid to experiment with style, making their looks so unique and often making them some of the great trend setters.

On the first day I explored Shibuya, the main city centre and took the opportunity to, of course eat some great sushi, but also take some snaps of some of the great street style in Japan. I love how the femininity of women here is so embraced, with girls looking immaculately made up. The guys also aren't letting the side down either, wearing some amazing looks. I've noticed hats are huge here for guys and studded lofas and platform boots are massively popular.

It was interesting to note that OTK boots (over the knee boots) which are set to be huge for winter are having a huge moment over here with girls wearing them with cute skirts. (I have rarely seen a girl wear trousers). Luxe coats are also being worn over the look. Check out some of my fav looks below!

I was seeing a lot of cute hats on guys, I love the red hat of the guy on the far left. His studded lofas, interesting collar and royal blue blazer caught my eye immediately.

I accidentally stumbled upon this arena where they were prepping for the concert of Japanese artist called, 'Feel' She seems to be huge as there were so many people lining up for her merchandise ahead of the show. Great opportunity for me to snap some great street style here too!

Love this beautiful ladies sky scraper over the knee boots - I spotted her at the 'Feel' arena concert area.

Another cute couple I spotted at the 'Feel' arena area. Again you can see what a moment OTK's are having here. Especially with shorts, skirts and cape jackets. Loving the guy's coloured trousers and use of layering with his sweatshirt and jacket.

I thought this image on the left was so great. These girls getting ready for the 'Feel' concert. It reminded me so much of Gossip Girl and 'The Steps!'

Japan is such an international place as you can see- I spotted this cute girl on her bike headed away from the city centre. It was such a great moment, seeing this beautiful pale girl with strawberry blonde hair, in retro English style clothes with her floral mid length skirt, tights with sling backs and cosy beige sweater on her old school bike with basket. Beautiful and a style all of her own.

On the way over to the city I walked over a bridge and saw this French lady walking along the bridge on stilts with her all white outfit she looked quite something. Loved the sparkly turban as well!!

The street style of the young guys in Japan is so well put together, these guys looked like they should be in a band!

Quick snap of the city centre! wearing a Burberry mac, Seven for all Mankind jeans, and Ash high tops.

After soaking up some of the pulse of the city and snapping some great looks, it was time for a beer cocktail! Orange Juice and stout!! delicious!! (Wearing CK sweater, Zara necklace)

Japan is so ahead with tecnology. Most restaurants and little food booths have a ticket machine where you choose your food, pay for it and then hand the ticket to the chef to make. This pic was taken at an amazing crepe place I came across!

Here I snapped a couple of other girls enjoying the amazing crepe's! Love their 60's style sunnies!!

Picture of the amazing drink vending machine's that are dotted all over the city. This one was at the airport after I arrived. Tried the grape juice and aloe vera- was so good! Check back later for more on Tokyo!! Well, for now beauties, さようなら (Goodbye!!) I'm off to explore some more!!!

Day Two in Tokyo and today was the day to visit the Ninja Restaurant. I don't want to spoil it in case any of you decide to go, but it's definitely worth a visit! A great experience and the atmosphere is fab. The food is also delicious, something that often is not too high on the list with themed restaurants but this is definitely an exception!! Ahead of the Ninja restaurant we went to Hooters! It was very cold outside and it was right next door, but have to say their frozen Margarita was delicious!!!!
