Rabbit for a Day

This time I bring you shots from multiple scenes throughout my day, around the city. A quick thanks to my friend Alyssa for helping me with these photos!

I wore this outfit yesterday and it just may be one of my favorite outfits to date on this blog. I mean who wouldn't love walking around feeling like a rabbit all day?!? Well I for one loved it :) I thought this hair ribbon was cute when I found it in the store, but little did I know how rabbit-y I would become once wearing it. Some of my classmates called me usagi, which means rabbit in Japanese, which was awesome, because then I felt like Sailor Moon, greatest hero of all time. Any Sailor Moon fans out there hearing me out?

Overall, this was a very Japanese-inspired outfit. Especially considering that all of my accessories were purchased here, ha. I often have trouble actually figuring out how to describe what my style really is. I can't seem to just label it with any old word. I tend to describe it as a combination of crazy/edgy/unique/cute. I would probably describe this outfit as a product of that description. In general, it is my belief to wear whatever I think is awesome and makes me feel beautiful when I wear it, and not care what anybody else thinks about it, even if it is loud and out there. To me, that's what fashion is all about.

Here are a few brief happenings from this week:



Viewed thousands of colorful origami cranes made for Hiroshima after WWII (left) and pet deer on the adjacent island of Miyajima (right). Yes you read that correctly, I pet the deer.


Saw the beautiful torii in the water (left) and captured this gorgeous pagoda on Miyajima (right).


Made my own origami box (left) and walked through extremely cold purifying water at a temple (right). It was so refreshing after a very hot day!


And I ate the most delicious chocolate parfait of my life!

Lastly, I watched the latest Pokémon movie earlier tonight!! This would be the one that just recently came out in Japan and is not out in the states yet! But that of course meant it was all in Japanese and I could only pick up about a handful of what they were saying aside from Pikachu saying pika-pi! haha. It was still a very enjoyable time with friends. 

Thanks so much for reading! I realize that this is primarily a fashion blog, but I hope you don't mind me sharing some of my adventures every once in a while. I would especially like to share it now, while I am in this amazing and unique culture. I hope you enjoy hearing about it!
