The Crazy New Years Sales at 109!

Aloha lovely person!

If you didn't know one of tokyo's bigger shopping malls, shibuya 109, has a HUGE sale in the beginning of the new year, most of the items are the previous years unsold clothing line..BUT they also have these special bags called 福袋 (fukubukuro) or lucky bags / happy bags. cute name right!

Oh and some stores can go up to 80% off! that's a lot! 

7 days bargain sign in front of shibuya 109

1/2-1/8 2014 ! 

The sign for Liz Lisa's lucky bags

I was there for TWO hours! And went to my fave stores:

Liz Lisa, Emsexcite, Ingni, Cecil McBee, titty & co., etc~

but since as I said earlier, this sale is mostly to get rid of the previous years clothes that didn't sell well, a lot of the items I didn't really care for >__<! Also the lines were insane and every single store staff was yelling sooo much trying to attract customers I couldn't handle much TwT i know, i'm weak.

But I guess it was ok since I ended up buying 2 items: 2 sweaters since I only have 1 currently form H&M ((I'm from hawaii! I don't own much cute winter stuff!) TwT!

First Sweater from Ingni which I bought at HALF price! woohooo!

Still a bit expensive at about $20 but it was still half price ^^! 

What the sweater looks like, I think it would look great with a white or black skirt! 

Then the second sweater I bought from emsexcite, one of my favorite stores! 

(I bought 2 of the same tops - different color - from them cus I loved the top haha!)

The sweater wasn't really on sale, I think I bought it for $15 but it was originally $17. Still a penny saved right? 

Well all in all, even though it was completely chaotic and there was so much pushing and scary ladies, it was a fun experience - I'm not sure why - but I'd love to do it again next year!

Top 5 Favorite Apps of 2013!

Hello~!

So 2013 is coming to a close and I thought I'd talk about my favorite cell phone apps for this year! If you did not know, I absolutely LOVE fashion, makeup, cute things, etc. I especially love japanese fashion since there are so many different styles and I love seeing them! It's been an incredible first year in Japan and I hope there are many more ^__^ 

Anyway on to the apps!

1. Mercari 

The first app I would say is one I've talked about before, mercari! (free to download by the way) I pretty much use this app for almost everything from clothes to kitchen appliances, and I haven't had much trouble using this app so I really love it! Also because you don't need to like sign in through facebook because that really irritates me >_< But if you live in Japan, you should definitely try this app! It does require a bit of Japanese language skills, but it's very user-friendly and I absolutely recommend it! I always buy second-hand LizLisa stuff because I LOVE the brand but I am poor LOL!

You can enter the code: AmY094 to get some free points to buy stuff!

2. CodeNote 

If you love Japanese fashion and want to see the many different style there are like lolita, dolly, gyaru, street, 109, casual, etc.~ then this app is great :) I check this app every other day to just see the amazing fashion! The app is free to download, and you need to know a little bit of Japanese - not much though! I love this app because it's free, there are so many different styles, it's user-friendly, and there are even official brands on it! You can see top japanese brands like Lip Service, Liz Lisa, WEGO, EGOIST, and so many more! Even famous runway show Tokyo Girls Collection (TGC) has a page, and I love it so much! It's great to learn about different brands and the different types of outfits (coordinates) that you can make! If you love Japanese fashion, I would definitely recommend this app ! AND! you can post your own outfits! It's a lot of fun ! ^__^

3. [+]icon

I think you can find this app by typing +icon, but I am not sure if it is available in other itunes places, so you might have to change your store location, not exactly sure of that however >___< But just go to my tumblr post HERE and you will see why I love this app! The app lets you change up your phone background and icons to kawaii-fy your phone! I do love this since there are official brands that have made backgrounds/icons for this app, but even though it is free to download, everything else is not  really free >__< it's not expensive but I don't really like to pay.......... (im a poor college student ok TwT ) but they do have a lot of cute icons and backgrounds and if you want to give your phone a makeover I highly suggest this application! 

4. Cameran Collage

Making collages have recently become so popular :) you can fit so many different things in one picture! I absolutely love cameran collage because it is very easy to use and you can create collages that look like legit magazines! Also they include cute brands/magazines in the app so you can also see Japanese magazines which is pretty neat! The app is very easy to use which is great because I have no patience - ain't nobody got time for that! - ^_^;; also it is another free download type app so yay :) There isn't much else to explain about the app except that they have lots of cute purikura-esque things and it's fun to use, try it out for yourself ^__^

5. All Women Stalk (aws) 

The last App I love for 2013 is all women stalk, I know the other 4 applications are Japanese but I really do love this app and I check it every time I'm in the train ^__^ All Women Stalk is an app made by women, for women type ^__^ There are so many articles ranging from buying cars, eating healthy, to beauty tips ^_^ I have learned so many things from this app and I just HAD to share it with my mom and friends! And they absolutely love it, and it's for people of all ages! If you need beauty advice, motivation for dieting, anything really!try this app out ^__^  I mean c'mon, who DOESN'T want to be fabulous!?  oh yeah and it's FREE to download! 

Thanks for reading! Mahalo~!
