Paris Kids ♥

Paris Kids stocks a cornucopia of cute accessories,

be it earrings, necklaces, hair accessories, bracelets, straps etc,

and everything's 315yen!

Paris Kids has only one store, at Harajuku's Takeshita Doori.

It's on the left side, near the beginning of the street when you exit from Harajuku station.

Their shopping bag looks like this.

First haul!

Super big black bow, floral scrunchie, faux pearl necklace,

pink chiffon flower clips, plastic flowery bow handphone strap,

teardrop necklace, beige hair clip, "love" clip-on earrings.

I really like the plastic handphone strap! ♥

Second haul!

Heart-shaped keychain with rosette and blinged bow details! ♥

Clip-on mini straw hat, sakura hair clip, lace headband/neck ribbon.

When I first bought these, I didn't realize they were clip-ons :(

I really like the design, but clip-ons are kind of painful for me,

it's like squeezing your ear lobe :/

Bow bracelet ♥

Teardrop and bow necklace ♥

Clip-on mini straw hat ♥

Love the pink flowers and the lace!

There are two clips underneath, on on each side~

Beige hair clip.

I like filigree designs ♥

Earrings.

Lace headband/neck ribbon.

I guess you could wear this on your head or around your neck!

They update their range of items in the store pretty quickly,

so if you step into the store and see something you like,

you'd better grab it while you can (:

The quality is pretty decent, none of the items I've bought have broken yet^^

Paris Kids has a Rakuten store if you wanna see more of what their accessories look like.

It actually seems that their online store has more variety than the physical store.

However, it does not ship overseas directly :(

But it's still nice to browse though! ♥

Tobu Ikebukuro's Depachika ♥

When I'm bored I love visiting depachikas. It's always a delightful experience seeing the mouthwatering and tantalizing selections they have on display! My favorite section is always the sweets section, but I can't eat cake forever right? Wish I could though! The savories section is also filled with a large variety of scrumptious side-dishes.

Log cakes on display at the depachika at Tobu Ikebukuro ♥

It's right next to Ikeburuko station.

A whole lot of tsukudani~

Kantou Chopper Keychains! ♥ ご当地チョッパーマン: 関東

Second part of my Chopper ご当地(gotouchi) keychain collection~! The special thing about these is that you can only get them at the specified places they're limited in, so it's like an adventure of sorts collecting them! Sadly I did not realize this early on in my Chubu trip, so I did not manage to get Kanazawa or Toyama ones :(

This part will be the Kantou ones I collected. Kantou is the region in Japan where Tokyo is located. It's between the two regions of Chubu (to the west) and Tohoku (to the east). The Chubu keychains I collected can be found here~ The Tohoku keychains here.

Lash Sightings II

Zipper x Eyemazing collection selling at Donki!

As you can see, not all 10 types were available, my guess is that they sold out?

The 3 not available when I went were Ayama Type A, Shitama Type A and Seto.

I really wanted to get the Seto one!

And the ever-present Dolly Wink, together with Jewerich and Jumily and DUP.

Lashes by 109 brands Love Boat and ANAP!

Takako lashes at a store in Shinagawa, they come in a heart-shaped case!

But only one pair per case and it's rather pricey...

Single pair lashes by Envy and Decorative Eyelash.

Rich Accent Eyelash

Loads of DUP.

And I bought this! Eyemazing 801, Amo x Pastel Type A.

Close-up, it's brown!

Eyemazing 810, Shitama Type B, lower lashes.

Close-up, they're brown too!

Eyelabo Natural Angel 001.

Close-up.

Sexy Doll 003. I really love this, it's my favorite at the moment so I got a back-up pack^^

I wanted the Zipper x Eyemazing Seto one because the style was similar to this^^

So there you go, this time I only got 3 packs of lashes, 1's for a friend.

I would've gotten more, but there was no free time^^

The packaging for Zipper x Eyemazing is really nice!

If you like looking at lashes, lash sightings part I can be found here.
