Hello from chilly Johannesburg! Tokyo is one of the cities
on my travel bucket list. I have been intrigued by the city and its culture from
a very young age and I am especially interested in the Harajuku district. This
is the area around the Harajuku station in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo. Harajuku
is often deemed the “fashion capital of the world” as it is known for its
unique street fashion.
Harajuku is also a term for the distinctive way in which
girls in the area dress. The girls wear everything from candy coloured wigs,
huge baby doll skirts and pop culture inspired pieces to gothic makeup,
pigtails and kimonos. Metallics, neons and plaids also feature quite
prominently. It is such a rich and
expressive form of style that really celebrates the individual so naturally it
really speaks to me.
Today I am sharing my
very diluted take on Harajuku style. I chose to wear this top that is currently
in stores at Mr Price with a cute skirt and printed heels. I added this cute handmade clip that I found
at a market a few years back. I can’t even remember the name of the store but
how I wish I did because the pieces were so cute! You can find a close- up of
the clip on my Instagram. Some cute matching rings and red lipstick finished
off the look. It isn’t full on Harajuku of course but it is my take.
I hope you’re all having a wonderful week! There’s just one
day left to win tickets to One Direction in Johannesburg. Find the giveaway

Until next time
