Where the catwalk got its claws (meow)
A subculture in a kaleidoscope of fashion

Super lovers, tell me where you got yours
(at the super lovers store)
Yoji Yamamoto, I'm hanging with the locals
Where the catwalk got its claws, all you fashion know-it-alls
With your underground malls in the world of Harajuku
Putting on a show, when you dress up in your clothes
Wild hair color and cell phones
Your accessories are dead on

I had the pleasure of spending almost a whole day in Harajuku or more specifically Takeshita Dori, where the cute Lolita girls parade the streets in their amazing frocks. We visited one of these stores and although not really my style, I had a blast helping one of the girls in my group choose the most kawaii outfit!
Still I managed to find quite a lot of interesting things that are totally ME, that I will debut soon on the blog. I must say that shopping in Harajuku is extremely inexpensive as long as you don't venture into the Lolita zone!
Snapping pictures of the passerby was harder than imagined though. A lot of them refused or even covered their faces when seeing the camera turn towards them. A few candid shots I did manage though.

Harajuku style is such an unusual phenomenon, but it must have been fascinating to see and experience in person! After all of those frills and bows, though, you look like a breath of fresh air in your simple red and white ensemble :)
