109 brands in Osaka

Other than having lots of great food, Osaka is also a great place to shop~ Good news for people who aren't visiting Tokyo when they visit Kansai is that lots of the Shibuya 109 brands can also be found in Osaka! But because they can be quite pricey, the best two times of they year to buy stuff from 109 stores are winter and summer. Winter for fukubukuros which are crazy cheap for the amount of items you get, though you won't know what items you'll end up getting. Good news is that most brands are free-size, so usually the dresses/skirts are stretchy. During summer, they have sales~ Most of these were taken at HEP 5, Shinsaibashi or Shibuya 109 Abeno.

 Laguna Moon

Lots of lovely, feminine clothes.

one way~

One of my favorite 109 stores! I bought a dress from here that I really, really like, it's a high-low floral dress that I wear a lot...My friends comment they always see me in this whenever I post photos (-.-)

 It's this dress!

The top part is a stretchy black polyester blend with slight sparkles. The floral part is chiffon, and has a flap in front.It's nice when the wind blows~ It actually also came with a white crochet top, but I usually don't wear them together.

 Some accessories in one way, they started venturing into eyelashes too.

 Everyone's favorite, Liz Lisa~ 

I went crazy and kept going back for Liz Lisa, because when I was there they just happened to have 50% off everything if you get 2 items or more...I went back 3 days in a row^^ To different stores! I visited the stores in Tennoji MIO and HEP 5 in Osaka, and Kyoto Avanti in Kyoto.

Liz Lisa cosmetics

 One of my favorites, Egoist!

Good news is that they have a Rakuten store that ships overseas.

 Lip Service
Lip Service has tons of pretty clothes too, and their style is something I could go with.

 Pink Latte

Pink Latte is targeted more towards younger teens, though they have a lot of cute pink things, hair accessories and amazing pa nail goods sets at only 500yen! The sets are super worth it, because one pa nail polish alone costs 500yen, and the set usually has 3 polishes, 1 flat sticker sheet, 1 special sticker sheet and 4 vials of glitter.

L.Chance, selling mostly accessories.

Pretty accessories! The store is quite huge, and they have a large assortment of accessories for hair, head, arms, neck, ears, belts...check it out if you ever see it!

 SBY, I've posted about the Shibuya 109/Harajuku stores here.

Frequently frequented by magazine models, this is a great store to get...lashes!

Diamond Lash is sold exclusively at only SBY and Donki.

They even put a ranking on which are the bestselling styles for each eyelash series.

They have a very large corner dedicated to Diamond Beauty, and there are still other walls/revolving stands that hold more Diamond Beauty lashes~ Definitely one of their bestsellers.

 New blush packaging.

When I was there the mascara and eyeliner wasn't out yet :(

 Esperanza, which sells shoes!

It's always featured in magazines, and their shoes are always so nice!

And though some of them look impossibly high, they're actually really comfortable.
