Explore // Japan: Harajuku


Day 2 in Japan, we trained out to Harajuku for a spot of shopping. 

Sooooo many cool little places down alleys. Seemed very high street / Ponsonby-esqur down certain side streets, but basically - it's craaaaaazy cool. The styles are what you would expect - some are crazy colourful, while others are immaculatly dressed in knits and layered textures. Here there are subcultures within subcultures (if that makes sence). 
I really admire that they wear what they want to wear and you don't get strange looks or laughs like what you get in NZ. And they rock it!

It's Halloween here so a lot of the retail workers were dressed to theme. And they're all so friendly. 

There's a store called ABC Mart... I would describe it like footlocker, at No1 shoe warehouse prices! Purchased my first pair of nikes and a pair for my brother. 
Unfortunately, they often don't have women's sizes after 6, so it can be a mission to find myself a pair. However, most sneakers can be unisex, so shopping via men's sizes ain't much of a hassle. 


There was a man with a pram full of (dead-but-drugged-up-cats) which was a concern. Took Chelsea prodding them to get them to even stir. But how gorgeous is this cat though? Plus saw pizza and carbonara flavour sorbet. Pass haha.

Explore // Konnichiwa



Never would of thought when I woke up last week, that I would be travelling with a bunch of my closest and dearest friends to Japan!

My initial thoughts once we booked our tickets was ' what the heck are we going to do now?!' There's 10 of us going, some for a week, the rest for two weeks - and we have no idea what we're going to do! Having to plan around 10 people can be quite a mission. The plus side is that though, we tend to get large group discounts. Can I get a holla!

What I do know, however, is that I want to go to Disneyland / Disneysea, Tokyo tower, visit an owl cafe, Shibuya crossing, Kyoto to see temples and geishas, watch a Sumo match, Harry Potter world (Universal Studios) and do a whole lot of shopping! But of course, you can fit a lot of stuff in just 2 weeks!

If you have any recommendations of what we can do and visit, leave a comment or tweet me @divinelimits! I really would love to hear them!
