Tokyo Day 2: Aya Papaya

I spent my second day in Tokyo with Aya!
DOMO ARIGATOU AYA for taking me around to all these awesome places! Please come to NYC asap!

This is what I walk through to go to the train station everyday


then by the subway station there's this interesting looking building...

An engrish moment? I'm not sure what a romance car is


I told Aya I wanted to try some authentic yakitori and she took me to this street filled with yakitori! We sat down at one and had some yummies!


We went to shimotitazawa, a cute little shopping area after yakitori then hit up Shibuya at night. I went through every floor at Shibuya 109! It was pretty damn cool


Off to dinner we go! Ton-chan! She said it was good, i trusted her, my tummy was VERY happy


that's right, look at that pork cook. Korean food rocks


they give you bibs as splatter guards! Here's Aya with her bib


Us in Shibuya


the gifts from Aya


the makeup goods


How CUTE are these socks?!?!!


random drugstore buys, a facial cleanser Aya recommended and another visee palette


I got stain all over my white shirt from yakitori, but this stuff is magical. i need to go back to that store and get MORE!


Bright yellow shoes from Shibuya 109. they were on sale for $22! and they're comfy


studded too, so cute


dark blue and white stripe headband


we were at a supermarket at one point and these are the snacks I picked up


lashes from the 100yen daiso store, seriously they're pretty damn good. I'm in love with these stores!

This is for all you jill stuart lovers. the counter at odakyu department store


I've been having ice cream on a daily basis lol, I've never seen this before! haagen daz green tea latte


Makeup for the day


What's on my face?


Banila Co. BB cream, Nars Copacabana as highlight, MAC redhead MSF as blush, VISEE palette, P&J lipstick #26

The VISEE palette, i'm feeling green palettes lately


A quick look at the tiny hotel room



Next up? MAH date with Lady L
