I’ve just returned from a whirlwind week in Tokyo and still have the sounds of giddy schoolgirls calling ‘kawaii!!’ at every turn and the glorious sight of the first sakura blossoms racing around in my head in a happy, exotic fusion of memories.
It is a remarkable country, full of strange and wonderful dichotomies I relish each time I visit; of proud, ancient traditions and of others so modern it at times feels like an alternate, futuristic reality. From the peaceful stillness of the Shinto shrines to the sensory overload of Shinjuku after dark; from the sounds of the shuffling of wooden shoes shoes down tiny, neat backstreets to the blaring beats of the latest J-Pop band at the Shibuya crossing; a flash of crimson as girls in traditional Kimonos scurry past a sea of men in identical black suits; from the sight of the first cherry blossoms sprouting in the parks and mountains to the glimpse of a perfect bonsai in the window of a home; from sumo wrestlers to the unashamed embracing of all things saccharine and cute.
This really is a city of wonderful quirks so very unique to Tokyo, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 
Love, Miss B xx
Wow B…such gorgeous photos as always…have been waiting on this post eagerly and so had to pounce the minute I saw it in my inbox! Hope you had a truly wonderful time! xxx
oh my god, these pictures are making me love Asians even more! Love that they’re not afraid to play dress up and wear quirky pieces. And love that everything is eye catching and cute! I would love to visit Tokyo one day!

So jealous – it looks like you had a fab time. Tokyo is definitely on my to-visit list, although I always thought I’d wait until I had enough money to do it “properly”, Lost in Translation style. But without the jerk of a husband.
Awwwww the pictures are super kawaii!
I’ve always wanted to visit Tokyo. Looks like it was incredible! I’m a bit jealous, but I still think I will visit one day 🙂 These photos are fab!

Such great pics! Brings back very fond memories of a fortnight spent in Shibuya a few years ago. We felt like we were in some weird video game for the entire time
Your photos are beautiful! Been to Hong Kong and Singapore but never did Tokyo! Damnit!

Can you tell me the name or model number (usually MK####) on your Michael Kors watch? I love it so much and I love the larger face size!!
Gorgeous Kors watch- what’s the model number? I’d love one for myself.
Beautiful photos! I love Japan and can’t wait to visit again. I feel like Tokyo is a city where you feel like you’re going into the future and back into the past at the same time
Beautiful photos, makes me want to go back to Japan again right now! I always feel that being in Tokyo is like going into the future and back into the past at the same time.
