Fur tippets

Fur collars (or as they call them here, "tippets"- is that Japanese English??) are really popular this winter. I think this isn't a new trend, but I have certainly noticed more and more girls donning them on the streets and the train.

They looked sooo cute in these that I just had to try one out myself. After a fun afternoon in Harajuku, I had one offered to me at a discount in a used store and I decided to try it out!

Personally I like it! Nice points are that it's very warm, easy to coordinate with, and not real fur (mine isn't, at least)! However, some negative points are that you can't wear it with anything that has a hood and it looks strange with shirts or sweaters that have a low collar.

Here is how I ended up coordinating it. Admittedly, it was a very comfy, lazy outfit. I think it might needs some little je ne sais quoi before it's street-ready. Maybe the tights and undershirt need to be a lighter color? Hmmm... Thoughts?

Recent buys

Recent purchases in Harajuku and Shinjuku ♡

Bolo ties and big barrets have been very populary recently, especially in Harajuku. When I saw the camera one, I knew that was the style I wanted to have!

I bought this necklace at the 300 yen store in Shinjuku. I highly recommend people who like natural style to look at what the 300 yen stores are carrying- whenever I go in the items seem to have a lovely natural flair! (´▽｀)

Sorry about the strange shadows in these pictures. 

I took them after dark. (^^ ;)
