Latest Fashion Trend In Japan

While everyone associates pearls with Japanese ladies – this year the  teardrop beads are commonly seen amongst the younger generation and the trendiest for the lot in shinjuku.  Every Japanese that I’ve come across are always so well-dressed and absolutely well maintained and they may not have gone for facials every month or a manicure and pedicure but they look immaculate.  Every strain of hair is in their proper places.

So whenever I go on vacation to Japan – the first thing I look out for are their accessories and fashion – and bring some home with me – and show off as well.  Not many people around here can find the same quality of accessories or clothing – so I’m grateful that I get to travel to Japan for work and vacation all the time.

Old Meets New In Japan

I’ve always loved the new part of Japan but loved the old ones as well.  The old buildings in Japan fascinates me immensely – my mom used to say that I should have been an architect but I can’t even draw a straight line – so not good being an architect – but I do have an eye for nice and unique things and Japan’s architectural like Spain unique by itself – but yet different.

You will never see this in the West – there isn’t anyone who does work like this anymore around.  I’ve always called these old Japan builders an artist.

The detailed on the roof is amazing.

A magnificent looking temple in Osaka.

And here is the somewhat new but not modern like in Tokyo yet.

Valentine’s Day  in Japan 2012 is very popular in Japan but this is not just because you get chocolates, flowers and gifts – because in Japan, they celebrate it differently.  Now like I said before on Valentine’s day in Japan – it’s only the women who give chocolate to let the man she likes or is interested in know her feelings and then the men in Japan will recipocrate on White Day on the 14 March only in Japan and created by Japanese with gifts of chocoalate and jewelry box gifts to the one he might be interested in.   As bizarre as it may seems – on Valentine’s day – you can see woman from all over japan flocking into chocolate stores, candy stores and also flower stores to buy gifts for the men. Japanese are known for being meticulous and not worry about spending money to buy the right gifts.
