Akari and Sakura Wearing Vintage & Resale Fashion in Harajuku

2012-02-12T20:26:00.000+05:30

Here are two cute & stylish Japanese girls who we ran into in Harajuku. If you have a good memory, you might recognize Akari and Sakura from the photographs we took of them together – in devil costumes – last Halloween in Harajuku! We’ve also street snapped Akari several times since then.

Akari, on the left, is 19 years old and a college student. She’s wearing a blue coat over a sheer dress from Flower, vintage-print tights from Harajuku’s G2?, and gray suede platforms from I am I In Fact. Accessories include a resale fur tippet from Kinji, an antique hair clip, a flower bracelet, a silver ring, and a purse from the Tokyo resale shop Santa Monica. Akari’s favorite shop is I am I In Fact and her favorite band is Zazen Boys. If you’d like to know more about her, you can follow Akari on Twitter.

Sakura Midorikawa, on the right with cute twin tails, is also 19 years old and a student. She’s wearing a layered outfit put together almost entirely from resale pieces – including a mustard corduroy jacket, a green knit sweater, a white lace blouse, a skirt, black stockings, striped socks, and vintage penny loafers. Accessories include glasses, a plaid scarf, flower & heart ear clips, and a vintage leather purse. Sakura’s favorite shop is Flower and her favorite bands include Going Steady and Zazen Boys. Sakura has her own blog where she posts lots of fashion pictures – check it out here!

Tokyo in Pictures

2011-12-18T08:13:00.000+05:30

It’s the second week of December, which means extreme winter cold in some parts of the world. But here in Tokyo, we’re still experiencing the end of Autumn. Many trees in Tokyo are covered in golden leaves – even while Christmas decorations are going up all over town. Over the last few weeks as we did our usual wandering around Tokyo, we shot a bunch of “fall colors” pictures to share the beauty of the leaves in Tokyo with those of you far from Japan.

The pictures below were mostly shot in Harajuku, Shinjuku, and at the famous Icho Namiki (Ginkgo Avenue) in Aoyama. For the photography geeks (like us) – some of the pictures are three exposure handheld HDR, and all of the photos were shot with a Canon 5D Mark II camera.

If you’d like to see even more of Fall Colors in Tokyo, also check out this video that we made while taking the above photos:
