I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Last day of Tokyo: 9,000 windows and berries for breakfast; ¥8,150 left in my pocket to buy presents for hubby, ¥500 left after a trip to Comme des Garcons, 20 minutes to meet a Japanese friend for coffee at the BVLGARI cafe in Shinjuku, 15 minutes to shop in a twelve-storey Uniqlo (impossibru), 5 new types of sushi tasted at lunch, 4 new favourite types of sushi, 2 minutes fitting the Prada flagship store designed by Herzog and de Meuron into sight while passing by in mini-bus, 1.5 cats seen in total (0.5 = tail and a spotted leg), 1 minute pondering what the Japanese word is for ‘STOP’  as the airport car passes by a Issey Miyake Pleats Please, 0% eagerness to enter homebound plane.

That about sums it up! Thank you Perrier-Jouët once again for a wonderful experience.

  5. I love these daytime photos of your tokyo travels. All the posts were filled with luminosity and life even if it was without the typical sartorial observations. Very cool eye shini! And love the outfit and how you jazzed them up with black cutoffs.

  16. so, did you buy the comme des carcons things? i love it and want to visit the store at Japan! it is almost 30% less for the price i bought in here. Always have happy shopping day shinni onni!
    xx love ya! =D

  17. Awyeah, just think about how lucky you were to go there for a short trip. I would love to go back, but I don’t have the funds since I’m a poor student who can only afford travelling through Europe during summertime in a cheap-ass way. – I love your photos, as usual. They’re as ‘fresh’ as the Tokyo atmosphere.

  18. tokyo, my love… and isn’t the architecture of the prada flagship breathtaking? happy you had three exciting days :)

  19. For future reference, ‘yamete’ means stop! Absolutely love these photos by the way, they make me so anxious to go back to Tokyo

    Tokyo looks amazing, I can’t wait to go in Feb!

    Incidently, I’m wearing the same floral zara shirt! I loved how you made yours looks very “tough-chic” whilst I’m trying to make it more office-y. The powers of styling ;)

  36. lovely captures as always :)
    By the way I just wondering what do you feel when you took some outfit photos in the public area. Do you feel awkward? I believe they staring at you when you try make a pose. Please answer me, since i’m wondering how people feel in this similar situation :)

  37. Hmm I guess I’ve been doing this for so long that I don’t care any longer! I usually tend to find streets that are empty or quiet, but people usually just pass by without much thought! Probably because the whole taking-pictures doesn’t look like something serious (model shoot, for eg) – plus, we don’t stay in one place for too long for people to notice!
    In anycase, if people did look, I wouldn’t really care much…

  38. fantastic shorts and skirt layering!

  39. Amazing photos!!!! So inspirational :)

  40. I’m loving this post, it’s so rare that you see a blogger go to Tokyo (it always seems to be NY or Europe)
    So this is such a good little insight.

  41. Hmmmm funny you should say that because I’ve never been to NY!

  42. Ok, I’m going to chop off all my pant legs right now!!! Bad idea?

    Love the idea.

  51. Beautiful photos! Tokyo looks amazing, it’s one of the places that’s always been on my to-go-to list. Hopefully I’ll get there one day x

  52. Hi again, Shini!
    I’m just going through your travel archives again because today… I just woke up… and I wanted to travel. This post just reminded me of Tokyo, my hometown and how much I missed that city.
    As always, gorgeous photography. Glad you tasted 5 new types of sushi and found 4 new favourites (hahaha)!
