Girl time in Osaka

Wandering around Osaka-

shopping-walking
eating- walking
  shopping- walking
  eating-walking
it's my favorite thing to do here

Japan's a great place for trend research.
  They love to shop and have a great eye for fashion, quality and detail-
but seriously,  I don't know how they do it in these shoes

call this New Vintage
 
feminine touches
lots of lace, small floral prints, sheers


this purse was in EVERY STORE


metallic, sequins, shimmer, sheen  everywhere!

At the moment, the main thread I see connecting all of us is a shiny metallic one finding it's way into all  our closets! Maybe it's a way of bringing a little sparkle and shine into our lackluster global economy.
