Shopping!!!

Since I quit my job I can now wear whatever I want when I go out so I've been updating my closet.

Thrown out some of the old stuff I used to wear at work but wouldn't be want to seen in in public

and bought some great new dresses for this hopefully warm and relaxing summer.

I rarely buy designer clothes but now a new second hand store has opened in my city. They only quality designer labels and I love shopping there because you can really find some unique and cool stuff.

Today I found this great silk top by Rützou. It's very dressy but casual and it's something I feel like I can wear anytime, anywhere even if I feel fat that day. ;)

It's very cool how the silk is woven in the pattern of little hearts. Cute! 

I also bought this dress by DAY Birger et Mikkelsen.

It was really hard to take a pic that shows the actual colour but it matches my eyes. ;)

It's super comfy and pretty.

Yesterday I went to VIP shopping at JOY and I bought my two favourite dresses from the store because I got a 30% discount.

I think this dress is super cool and very fresh. Even if it has alot of ruffles it feels more runway than boheme.

The ruffles are all in the right places too if you know what I mean. 

And then some real romance.

I just love this! It's the perfect summer picnic, Swedish midsummer dress. 

Also really comfy and wide. 

I had a 25% discount at Dea Axelssons as well so I went and bought this great off white cardigan that goes with both dresses and basically everything else. Great with jeans!

Now I just need to get better at buying basic clothing like white t-shirts and such because I suck at that. I have a huge closet full of clothes that don't really go together. I really need some basics to tie it all together and make the unique and cool pieces I have stand out more.

Ok, time for an update!

Since I'm not deadly tired today here's an update on what I've done so far!

When I got to Kyoto, Sakurako met me in the train station and then we went straight to Uji to see a big fireworks display!
I was really tired but it was great. I've never seen fireworks that huge and many. I think it was for like 2 hours too. Amazing!

Then we went to Sakurakos house. She lives in Takatsuki that's right in between Kyoto and Osaka. It's great and her parents are so nice. ^^
I've even got my own room with aircon, tv and stereo! It's really like a luxury hotel. lol

I slept for a long time that night.

Next day we went shopping in Kyoto. I bought alot of cool clothes. I really like japanese fashion.
Sizes haven't been a problem so far either. I'm realizing that I'm not so fat anymore. lol

Keeping my diet/lifestyle isn't as har as I thought either. But I feel like I'm being troublesome sometimes because I don't eat rice and bread. I've eaten hamburgers a couple of times. Just not the bread. But eating in an izakaya is really good cuz I can just order all sorts of meat and fish. :D

Yesterday we went to an izakaya with Sakurakos friends. 1 gork and three guys. It was really fun! A couple of them could speak english. I also met Sakurakos boyfriend. He was nice and good at singing. We wen't to karaoke after the izakaya. ^^
I impressed with my japanese song skills and my enka singing. lol
I love karaoke! :D
The guys wen't crazy and pulled their shirts off for the last song. XD
I took photos of course. ;D

Today we went shopping in Osaka. It was really crowded and felt huge. I bought some supercute shoe accesories. Like clip on shoe ornaments. Then we were looking for a swedish cafe where Sakurakos friend works but we couldn't find it. We were super hungry and looked for a place to eat for probably an hour. Finally we decided on an izakaya and we found a really nice one.
I love japanese izakaya food! Meat, meat and more meat. Lots of fat left on the meat too. :D

Tomorrow we're going to the Kyoto Handicraft Center.
I'll probably buy lots of stuff there. I love japanese handicraft. Everything is so beautiful. Japanese people have the best sense of aesthetics in the world I think.

It's soon time to buy a Yukata too. I've been looking for one but it's been hard to find a really nice one. The good thing is they're on sale now. ^^

I'd like to upload pics but I don't have a usb cable for my cam with me. I could easily buy one though. Maybe I'll do that. I already bought a new battery for my cam. Good to have two. ^^

I don't think I'll go to Okinawa. If I'm going there I should go some other time when it's less expensive. Now it's high season so plane tickets are expensive. I'd rather spend my money on a yukata this year. And I still don't know if I'll have to get a hotel in Tokyo. :/
I sent some couchsurfing requests but it's difficult to surf when I don't know what exact dates I want to stay.

But it'll work out somehow. ^^

Now it's time for bed.

Oyasumi!

Good day!

Today I made a new friend. :D

Totemo tanoshikatta yo!  

Arigatou Sakurako. ^^

We went shopping and I bought alot of clothes. Most of is was on sale. It was so cheap it was practically free! lol 

I bought a skirt a dress and a top at H&M.

At New Yorker I bought a scarf and a sweater.

The only expensive thing I bought was a top at MQ. But I couldn't resist it. It's super cool and so me. :D It's black and white leopard print. ;) 

Now I won't buy anymore clothes until next months salary. (I hope) lol

My uncle is gonna get me some super expensive turkish tea from his friend. 

It's like 900kr/hg! That's like 100$ for 100 grams! :O

It seems kinda complicated to brew it but I just have to try it.

I wonder what it tastes like to be so insanely expensive. 

Also my earings are selling really well. I'm so happy that japanese people seem to really like them. :D Maybe I can sell them in Japan. 

Ahhh, today I have eaten alot of sugar. Way too much. I actually have a headache now.

Sugar pain. But I had to eat some chocolate. And the food I ate downtown probably wasn't so good either. But it's only for today.

Tomorrow I'll go back to eating my burgers. lol

Mata ne!
