KIMONO姫

Happy new year 2011.

I Found this beautiful magazine at a book store in Tokyo.

It's called KIMONO姫 ( KIMONO Princess )

This magazine is like a kimono dream come true. Just the perfect combination between the traditional and the modern fashion with a dreamy twist of the fantasy fairy tale world. 

The cover is actress 宮崎あおい

在東京的書店找到了這本超有美感的雜誌，KIMONO姫，這本雜誌是和服傳統與現代時尚的完美結合，加上一筆夢一般的童話故事氣氛。

封面人物是  宮崎葵。

This issue focus on accessories, and the theme is the four seasons.
這本主要是配件特輯，主題是四季。

At Design Tide 2010 . 我在 Design Tide 2010

Through the massive installation Myomu (Weird Dream) at Tokyo Midtown.

由Tokyo Midetown的大型裝制藝術Myomu框住這一刻。

Design Tide 2010 takes place inside Tokyo Midtown shopping mall. I went there right after visiting Tokyo Designer's Week 2010. To be much more detailed, I travel by Toei subway Oedo Line; stop at Roppongi Station and exit by exit 8. I tell you this, because there are many many exits in each stations in Tokyo. I think there are about 25 exits at Tokyo Station (That place is huge!).

Design Tide 2010 在 Tokyo Midtown裡面展覽，我逛完Tokyo Designer's Week 2010後就去Design Tide，要說更詳細點，就是搭都營地下鐵大江戶線，六本木下車，然後從第8出口出去，會說這個因為東京的車站有很多很多出口，東京站就有大約25個出口（那個地方超大的！）。

Special Report: Tokyo Designer's Week 2010

So! There I am, at Tokyo Designer's Week. This year's theme is Environmental Design. The location is at Meiji Jingu Gaien. The area around there is beautiful and the pace is peaceful and slow. I pass through that famous Gingko tree boulevard and reach the exhibition before 11am. Many Japanense dramas are filmed at that Gingko tree boulevard. Actually Tokyo is full of Gingko tree. No wonder Toei Subway uses Gingko leaf as their logo.

Many people are riding bicycles. I've heard that you can get 500yen off the regular ticket price (2000yen) if you bring a bicycle along to the exhibition.


Tokyo Designer's Week 2010我來了! 今年的主題是環境設計，地點是在明治神宮外苑。附近的環境很美，步調是輕鬆與緩慢的，我經過那個有名的銀杏樹大道，上午11點以前到達展覽場，很多日劇都是在那個銀杏樹大道取景的，其實東京充滿著銀杏樹，難怪都營地鐵的logo是片銀杏葉。

很多人騎單車到會場，我聽說帶單車來的人可以得到500 yen的折扣 (原價2000yen) 。

好用的東京地下鐵地圖

有人送我一張在東京拿的東京主要地下鐵路地圖，我覺得這是我看到最好的メトロ＆都營路線綜合圖，也有標示東京有名的觀光地，很不錯，日文only，但看懂漢字的應該可以了解。

poupee girl

最近好喜歡玩的一個網路遊戲是poupee girl.
在存錢中，所以我都用這個來滿足我購物的欲望。
poupee girl 可以幫娃娃穿衣，買入新的衣物，分享自己衣櫥私物，還可以參加造型比賽，很有趣～～
雖然是虛擬世界，但是感覺有現實世界的原則與互動，遊戲鼓勵玩家互相稱讚彼此的造型，其實大家造型個個都配的很有型呢！大部份都是Lorita, Punk, 蕾絲Sweet Girl, 偏日本的style, 因為大部份的玩家是日本人，也有一些歐州的，南美和亞州國家的玩家，還蠻多都是用英語，可以看世界個地的style，很有意思！

最重要的是～～～玩是免費的！

Recently I love playing an online game called poupee girl.

I'm saving money for my trip so I use this game to fulfill my desire to shop. 

You can dress up your poupee doll with items, shop in the poupee world, share photo of clothing from your closet and participate in styling contest. It's really fun. You can feel the rules of reality applies to this virtual world. The game encourages players to acknowledge eachother's outfits by clicking the "Pretty" bottom. It's real cool that most people are great stylists. There are lots Lorita style, punk, sweet girl style; mostly more of the Japanese girl styles. That's because the players of this game are mostly Japanese. There are some from Europe, South America and other Asian countries. Many use English. It's very interesting to see different styles around the world.

Most importantly, it's FREE!!
