I got this little number from ToiletPapper Magazine.

What a disappointment.

So much for dedicating time every other day to my blog, i log in. after forgetting my password! and come to realise i havnt said anything atleast half descent since last November. What a disgrace. I really need to update. ASIF! my first blog of the year is me aplogoising for lack of blogging.
Shit one.
I'll fix up.
Pinky sware. But anyways, i promised to say a little sumsum' once i heard any news about the new Japanese reality show 'Shibuhara Girls' So here goes.
Finally, the day has come where i am starting to get information on the highly anticipated 'Shibuhara Girls' The premiere date has been set, trailers have been relesed and the four main cast girls have been publisied and profiled. This is the first ever reality show in Japan made my MTV. Bit of background 141? It is set in the infamous Shibuya and Harajuku districts in Tokyo, the fashion and entertainment capitals. It follows their struggle to make it in the model or music industry and unlike 'The Hills' or 'Laguna Beach' they arent nobodys, becoming famous through a reality show, but these girls are all known in thier own right. Lets take alook at the girls.
TOKYOFASHION.COM says:
''Kozue Akimoto Kozue Akimoto is a fashion model who has already achieved a great deal of success since stepping onto the scene back in 2009. Of course, she’s also known for another reason, as the daughter of Chiyonofuji, who is perhaps one of the most successful sumo wrestlers of modern times. She faces the pressure of stepping out from under her father’s shadow.

Marie Ishikawa Marie is a 22 year old native of Tokyo who is on the verge of breaking into the pop scene. She’s released a few songs but has big hopes riding on the debut album she’s currently putting together.

Shion Miyawaki Shion Miyawaki is probably best known for her single BOY, but since her early success she’s seen her stardom fall. Originally from Nagasaki, she’s lived in Tokyo since her teenage years and currently faces the pressures of choosing between her declining career and her boyfriend.

Sun Wei Sun Wei was born in China, but raised in Japan. She’s a successful model for the magazine Pop Sister, which has already exposed her to a giant audience. She’s also an internet hit with a very popular blog and over 8,000 followers on her Twitter account. However, despite her legion of growing fans, Sun Wei is still single and looking.''

Tokyo fashion week SS 2011

Every year Japan holds the annual Tokyo fashion week, Theres alot to say about this event and how huge it is, but im not going to go on and on about it.
I'm just going to show you my personal favourite pieces from a few collections.
First up - Banal Chic Bizarre.
I actually thought this collection was amazing, i liked the way the models were styled and the collection as a whole. 'TOKYO FASHION' said: ''The Banal Chic Bizarre event was one of our most anticipated shows of this fashion week, and we weren’t disappointed. The models were all wearing helmets and the lighting was harsh, creating a sort-of Mad Max-inspired atmosphere – perfect for showcasing the unique vision of this creative Harajuku street brand''
Favourite pieces?
