Religious Symbols

Cute little shrine right? It was down a little alley around our apartment. It's sooooooooo hot and humid right now that nothing short of a bikini is comfortable attire! Although this outfit wasn't too bad, the waistband was kinda warm! Took these on our way back from lunch before we went out for a friend's birthday/leaving party. Pics to come soon!
Btw, this not a Nazi swastika, it's used to represent temples in Japan. If you don't believe me read this!

Ise Shrine

Took a day trip to Ise Shrine. It's beautiful and all Japanese architecture so very natural, with no red or garish colours anywhere. It was sunny when we left but alas spring had not sprung so I was bloody freezing! Still in love with these patent oxfords, they're perfect for sightseeing. Also trying out a new pink lipstick, think I love it!

Double Denim

Stopped off in a sleepy little fishing village on our short lived holiday (more on that later). Decided to do double denim but grey and blue as opposed to blue and blue. Love my new shoes from F21 too! So comfy and perfect for sightseeing.

Friday Night.

My man's off snowboarding this weekend but I can't go due to being ill so we went to the supermarket to get him some supplies for the overnight bus. Also weirded out the local Japanese people by taking photos in front of curry sauce and such. The rest of my night included going to dinner and have just finished drawing hot dogs and hamburgers and such on paper plates for my lesson tomorrow. How was your night? Anyhoo here's what I wore this evening.

Jeans: Topshop, vest topand necklace: H&M, leather jacket, black cardigan and faux fur vest: Zara, boots Sam Edelman (from nastygal), bracelets: present from Tom's parents, shield ring: nasty gal, thumb ring: present from my Mum, red heart ring: Vivienne Westwood (present form Tom).

Leaf Viewing in Kyoto.

Leaf viewing is big business in Autumn here in Japan so the man and I thought we'd go native.

Pretty, no? The leaves, not me ;p
