Circle Scarf!
Don't ask about the price. American Apparel is way more expensive in Japan. I am going to have to resort to buying and ordering things online!
We asked the girls in American Apparel (who had perfect English) where we should head for more shopping. They told us to head up to Daikanyama, which we didn't realize, is the Embassy district. It is a beautiful area, with some beautiful stores. Here are some photos of stores we visited along the way.
One of my favorite pictures from the day! A magnificent staircase.
We thought we would never find any second hand stores here in Japan. Pah! We did. This store is called Hanjiro. It was a really cool store and the clothes were really well priced. They even had a small consignment section! We spent a good chunk of time here and we all managed to find something to buy. The store was really unique too. They had bathtubs with water and Koi fish in them, wooden bins with belts in them, plants and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. They have fifteen stores throughout Japan and I can't wait to visit the next one. We will probably visit the one in Osaka when we go shopping in the spring. I have officially registered for Toyko Fashion Week but I am waiting to hear about my acceptance. Cross your fingers for me :)
This is the necklace I bought; it was only 1,900 yen (about 19 dollars).

Ooh the AA piece is definitely worth it--so versatile! And that store looks like such a creative space.
amazing post from an amazing girl. i will never ever forget our trip to tokyo & how we managed to find incredible little nooks everywhere (which weren't in the book!!). Hanjiro changed my life...& your pictures capture how innovative it is! Can't wait to visit it in Osaka!

I like AA stuffs but I find that they are pretty pricey? :/ Really like the circle scarf though.

A blog worth reading on forward until the end! :) I really admire the wording in this blog, quite precise to the details but I just might change one or two things, never-the-less, bravo on well choiced words mate.. p.s.>> Thanks for sharing, I actually picked up some knowledge on this one :)
