HABUTAE DANGO

This very traditional looking Japanese Dango(Skewered Dumplings) Shop is called "Habutae Dango" which is located in Nippori Station:)) Nippori has many Korean food stores and restaurant I often go to buy a Korean dried laver seaweed.HAHA Anyways, this shop is like 180 years old and it's very old and very traditional.

This is the entrance of the Habutae Dango Shop.

This is the side of the shop:))

And... there is the place where you can eat inside which I will show you later but when you go out, there is a small old-fashioned Japanese garden like space where you can eat your dango:))

There is a small pond where you can see the carp and beautiful flower and full of greens!

wooo! you feel like you are in the Shrine or Temple or even forest!HAHA

There is a small gate which I guess it was made for just showing the Japanese style. Beside this store is a apartment, so I don't think people can use it. The bamboo look a like wood is blocking off your way. so ya it's just an object but still it's beautiful!

okk so the food! There is the An-Dango (Sweet Bean Paste Dumplings) which is the brown one and the Yaki-Dango (Baked Soy Sauce Dumplings) which is the orange one and of course the Green Tea! It was delicious:)) I liked the soy sauce one, well I like the soy sauce it self so...HAHA for this set, it only cost like 480 yen or something like that. It's just perfect snacks to eat while you are facing the beautiful japanese garden!

This is my friend. Sorry I just paste Lady Gaga's face on her face because I didn't ask for a permission to upload on my blog so just you know, in case she blame/criticize/scream at me for uploading it.LOL So,while you are eating out of the shop (This garden is located inside the shop but has the place where you can eat in and out. wow huh?lol), you will sit on this Tatami(straw mat) bench like my friend on the picture:)) I just felt like I was in Kyoto or something because you can't find like this place in Tokyo, like you know in the city! So I was just very relaxed and enjoyed eating Dango:))

So, this is the inside of the Dango Shop. It's very old/traditional Japanese!HAHA The staff wearing triangular bandage with the uniform and that man is just a custmer who's trying to pay.lol There are some tables and chairs and this picture is just showing half of the room so there are of course more tables and chairs where you can eat at:))

So they have tables and chairs but also they have Tatami (straw mat) room where you take off your shoes and sit on that cushion. We decided to eat at the table because we just had a huge smoothie and a Latte 1 hour before we came to this shop so it will be hard to eat on the tatami you know.HAHA

I was just happy to feel "Old Japanese" in the city:))

sorry its in Japanese though!

OUTFIT

HAHAAA!

Everyone say that my eyebrows are too thin, but I DON'T CARE, PEOPLE:)) It's my eyebrows FYI.

I got this blue shades from "Thank You Mart" where they sell clothes, accessories, shoes, hats, scarfs, key rings, and many many stuffs with 390 yen. The reason why this store is called "Thank You" mart is because in Japanese, we say 3, as "San" and 9 as "Kyu". It's a Japanese-English but it will be like "SanKyu Mart"="Thank You Mart":))

Before, they were selling the stuffs with 390yen but they kinda raised the money and now, including the tax, its like 403yen or 408yen. It's still cheap though.HAHA

AAAAnd this short-sleeves Cardigan! I got this from a Forever 21 in Harajuku:)) This leopard printed cardigan is trendy and very cute! that's why I bought it. HAHAHA oh and the camisole that I'm wearing under the cardigan is from Costco:))
Cheap Fashion but it's cute.LOL

STARBUCKS TIME

On Wednesday, I went to a Aoyama Book Center which is located inside the Roppongi Hills to get a new issue of People Magazine because...

Justin Bieber is on the cover! yay! I thought whole magazine was about Justin because it says "All About Justin Bieber" but it was like only 4 pages long. Well...I guess we can summarize some stuffs and still can tell the whole story lol but anyways good that I could get one:))

So, after I bought the magazine, I met up with my mom and have some coffe time:))

This Starbucks is also located in the Roppongi Hills with bunch of confy couch:)) which I forgot to take pictures because I was so tired that I slept in one of those confy couch while my mom was drinking her coffee.HAHA

Starbucks in Black and White:))

I'm actually on a diet butt... well maybe sometimes?HAHA

I got a suger-coated doughnut with a Espresso & Cream Frappuccino. This drink is new I guess:)) and it was tasty! The cream on the top is not like a usual white colored cream but more like cream-color cream and was good:)) I prefer this kind of cream rather than the white one!

My mom got a cup of coffee with a New York Cheese Cake! yum yum:))

The view from where I was sitting (or sleeping).

This Starbucks has 2 floor and this place where me and my mom was drinking coffee is located on B1 Floor. Upstair Starbucks is more crowded and there is no way you can get the seat so we always go to the downstairs one:)) Beside the Starucks is office and it is very clean place:))

Fashion-Damaged Jeans

Celebrity Fashion on damaged jeans!

I love damaged/ripped/destroyed jeans because you can add the "edgy" part easily.

There are many kinds of jeans and I would like to introduce my favorite celeb style todayy:)))

*Whitney Port from The City... She's so skinny and tall and she's just like a fashion model! She's wearing black skinny jeans which is ripped and damaged. While this jeans represents the edgy part, she didn't make her fashion edgier. Instead, she wore a beige color tank-top which has frill and I like how she always mix girly fashion with edgy fashion or boyish fashion:))

*Stephanie Pratt from The Hills...

She is wearing black damaged jeans with converse shoes(my favorite outfit.HAHA)! She kept her style as Casual Rock fashion where she wear damaged jeans and converse shoes and having some rock elements, but also she wears white tanktop with the studds(?) vest. I like her fringe bag too:)) This fashion seems really comfortable and pretty!

*Rachel Bilson from The O.C. ...Rachel wears baggy damaged jeans with the roll-up. I like how she kept simple by wearing just a white t-shirt. it's like a comfy summer fashion:)) her bag and sandal also match the color and it just looks really comfortable style! (you can walk a lot with this flat sandal:D)

*Audrina Patridge from The Hills... I just looooove this ripped jeans! I love the color of the jeans and I love how damaged are being over-done. It looks like she's wearing leggings!hahaa This black tops also matches with this grey colored jeans and I think her skin tone/color matches with this jeans color! I love her hair color too:))

*Ashley Tisdale from The High School Musical...Nowadays, she's having such a good taste on fashion! I like her bleached damaged jeans with this gladiator sandal! it looks fabulous! exactly! haha oh and I just looooove this PRADA bag that she's carrying. it's vintage-looking, old fashion style of the bag but I like old fashion bags. It is beautiful:)) the color of bag also matches with her burunette hair!

*Kim Kardashian... I have similar damaged jeans as hers which I bought from H&M last year. She kept it edgy by using studds sandal and leather jacket with leather bag. I like White&Black fashion it's just so cool. She also used scarf as an accent for her fashion.

*Miley Cyrus from the Hannah Montana... I love Miley's recent fashion! It is like boyish and rock fashion;)) Like this style, she wears black damaged jeans with this military, laced-up boots. She also wears oversized blue jeans shirt. All of them look awesome on her! While she's keeping her fashion very simple with no pictures or details on it, she uses this colorful bag:))

*Beyonce... cuuuute! White tank-top+Light grey damaged jeans+Metal color bootie+White studds bag+grey hat+metal color belts! I like how she styled her self with similar color; white, light grey, and silver(metal)! it looks gorgeous on her! I hate when I wear jeans which is roll-up because it makes my legs look shorter and I don't wear heels here because the road is kind of not straight that you soon will hurt your feet.lol So I basically wear flat shoes or converse shoes most of the time. However in Beyonce's case, she's wearing roll-up jeans but her legs just seems fine and it is because of her bootie. She's wearing heels but also it's not just a heels, the booties doesn't stop around ankle. It's little bit above the ankle and I think that is making her legs slimmer and beautiful. I might try on this style:)) I better buy a new not-that-much heels or bootie:))

JUSTIN BIEBER IS IN JAPAN! WOOHOO!

Yayy, so Justin Bieber is in Japan now:)) He arrived to Narita Airport in Chiba prefecture at around 4:00pm and those pictures are from the airport:)) Nice blue knit hat nee!

YES, 3,THREE,T-H-R-E-E companies! and I guess I was just not lucky enough. I lost them all! Can you belieeeeve this?:(( Goshhh I was crossing my fingers to get that ticket thinking that finally I can see him and listen to his beautiful voice and here I am. THE LOSER. I just really wanted to get that ticket because I don't live in USA or Canada (I even haven't been there yet) and it is just this chance to see Justin:(( Well,he said that he's coming back in May and perform at NHK's Music Japan. And yes. I already applied for it. I hope I can see him this time. PLEAAASE PLEEEASE PLEEEEEEAAAAASE PICK ME. I'll be so depressed if I was not picked this time too.
