I'd love to see Tokyo and Osaka (my mom and immediate family are from Okinawa but speak with a Kansai accent) primarily. It would be so crazy to see Harajuku fashion.<br /><br />As for travel, next month I'm headed to New York (so excited!!), then Seattle in a couple of months, and it's looking like Florida at the end of the year. I'd love to go to Europe again, but maybe next year :) Ooh, and Australia!

I think sometimes, people have too skewed a view of Japanese fashion - they either go too conservative with the kimonos or too crazy ( like cosplayers and such ). It's nice to see this slight happy medium. :)<br />Those outfits are awesome - I really like that girl's panda headphones!!<br /><br />♥ x i x i a | thisisxixia.comxixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17771195515900209616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106240052718063308.post-59800166002520597002012-08-28T17:41:55.192-04:002012-08-28T17:41:55.192-04:00Doug and I are always talking about going to Japan...Doug and I are always talking about going to Japan. It's been on "the list" (yeah we have one and it gets longer every year). I'm so fascinated by the culture, food, history, people, everything. These girls look amazing and I love how they embrace their style without, like you said, going so over-the-top that it looks completely costumey. <br /><br />We're going to Miami for the long weekend to spend some time on the beach with the girl before school starts and we're back on some semblance of a schedule. x<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619953390847121652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106240052718063308.post-39231602890027744692012-08-28T15:58:02.894-04:002012-08-28T15:58:02.894-04:00These girls must have so much fun getting dressed ...These girls must have so much fun getting dressed in the morning! I love the way they've mixed prints and colors. <br /><br />Since Thailand was my big trip earlier this year, I have no plans to leave the country for awhile, but I do have my eye on Egypt and Jordan for next year. As a newly-minted east coaster, I've been planning little weekend trips this fall to visit friends in NYC, Philadelphia, and Boston. I love that a two hour train ride on this side of the country can transport me to a completely different state!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997929441677746539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106240052718063308.post-39451730326095690012012-08-28T14:52:14.878-04:002012-08-28T14:52:14.878-04:00These are amazing!

I've been to Japan only once and just loved every moment of it. I dream of travelling to Japan one day with Rick and the boys. Maybe Hokkaido and Osaka.

And probably there will be none until our youngest can withstand more than 4 hours in an enclosed area like a plane! :)<br /><br />Ronnie xo<br /><br />p.s.
