My boyfriend is in Tokyo and I couldn't be more jealous. I thought about compiling a wish list to give him, but I don't have an endless bank account to back that up. No need to ramble on about how much streetstyle over there inspires me, because I've already crossed that bridge and back on here. A couple things I'm seeing- tons of short asymmetric bobs, zany socks/tights, and interesting layering.

Man those kids have some cool footwear at their reach (*sheds tear). This doesn't even hit the tip of the iceberg.
Rope sneakers, Monomania; rubber sole shoes, Double Decker; mesh insert boots, Candy
I love the bright socks with open-toed shoes look (finally seeing this on runways!) and have for awhile. Swedish label Happy Socks makes some great options for experimenting and I will definitely be picking up some now that they are carried in my neighborhood at Alter.

the Monomia sneakers are killer. Like if the pillsbury doughboy needed sick kicks.

I agree, they have the most kick ass shoes in Japan. When I visited, I was reallyyyyy excited and planned to buy a pair (or 5). Until I figured out that they cater to a smaller footed client and almost never carry them or even MAKE them in sizes anywhere near as large as mine (which is an 11. ugh, I have man feet.)

its kind of annoying how the sneakers are such a blatant willhelm knockoff tho no?
but the haircuts are hot!
Ahh, I used to visit style arena almost every day but I haven't been in months! Quite the round-up you've picked out here, it's all too good.
I knew those 2nd pair of shoes look familiar... i love double decker! I've got some lovelies from there, and I might need to go hunting for some more ;D
