I am back from a long weekend in Tokyo! It was an eventful and exhausting one, but well worth it! I wore this outfit on Friday, when we went sightseeing as a group. I'm standing in front of part of the Imperial Palace, where the Emperor of Japan resides. It was a super comfortable outfit to wear while walking around in the much cooler weather compared to Kyoto. These buns were inspired by the Japanese, who seriously have the coolest hair ever. I want it! Plus it reminds me of Sailor Moon, which is the bestest ever.  They were kind of falling out at this point in the day, but I still get points for effort, right?

Here's a quick rundown of the weekend's events:
-Rose the shinkansen, the super fast bullet train!
-Visited Harajuku (FINALLY!) and got a taste of shopping there. Already fell in love.
-Saw the Imperial Palace
-Viewed the Tokyo Sky Tree from afar
-Found an awesome tiny store that sold Miyazaki merchandise. You guys have seen his amazing movies, right? If not, you must!!
-Spent 3 hours shopping at 109 in Shibuya, a 10-floor mall filled with a ton of boutiques of all women's fashion. It was quite awesome.
-Went back to Harajuku for a little more shopping. I now have a favorite store called Paris Kid's, which has the most amazing hair accessories, pins, jewelry, and other stuff for super cheap!! It was wonderful.
-Went to the Pokémon Center!!!! This was the one thing I could not leave Tokyo without doing. I walked in, went crazy, and put stuff in my basket without caring much for the price. This is why I saved my money before coming, right?
-Briefly visited Akihabara, the "Electric City" of Tokyo. It's known for it's electronics and was quite busy today, but nice to see.

And because a picture is worth more than any of my words, here's a few to give you a different perspective of the weekend...

And that's the weekend in a few words or so. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to catch up on rest, however that is highly doubtful, ha. I may share some of my awesome finds later this week, if anyone finds it of interest!
