My Favorite New Fragrance: G by Harajuku Lovers!

Lyrics to "Harajuku Girls" By Gwen Stefani

Wa-mono

There's me, there's you (hoko-ten)
In a pedestrian paradise

Where the catwalk got its claws (meow)

A subculture, in a kaleidoscope of fashion

Prowl the streets of Harajuku (irasshaimase)

.

Super lovers, tell me where you got yours

Yuji Yamamoto

I'm hanging with the locals

Where the catwalk got its claws

All you fashion know-it-alls

With your underground malls

In the world of Harajuku

Putting on a show, when you dress up in your clothes

Wild hair color and cell phones

Your accessories are dead on

.

Harajuku girls, you got the wicked style

I like the way that you are

I am your biggest fan, oh

Harajuku girls, you got the wicked style

I like the way that you are

I am your biggest fan, oh

Harajuku girls

I'm looking at you girls

You're so original girls

You got the look that makes you stand out

Harajuku girls, I'm looking at you girls

You mix and match it girls
You dress so fly and just parade around (arigato)

.

I'm fascinated by the Japanese fashion scene

Just an American girl in the Tokyo streets

My boyfriend bought me a Hysteric Glamour shirt

They're hard to find in the States, got me feeling couture

What's that you got on
Is it Comme Des Garcons

Vivienne Westwood can't go wrong

Mixed up with second-hand clothes(Let's not forget about John Galliano!)

Flip the landscape when Nigo made A Bathing Ape

Ooh I've got expensive taste

Guess I'm better save up (chotto takai)

.

Harajuku girls, you got the wicked style

I like the way that you are

I am your biggest fan, oh

Harajuku girls, you got the wicked style

I like the way that you are

I am your biggest fan, oh

.

Work it, express it

Live it, command your style

Create it, design it

Now let me see you work it

You bring style and color all around the world

You bring style and color all around the world

.

Your look is so distinctive, like DNA

Like nothing I've ever seen in the USA

Your underground culture, visual grammar

The language of your clothing, is something to encounter

A ping-pong match between eastern and western

Did you see your inspiration in my latest collection

Just wait til you get your little hands on L.A.M.B.

Cause it's super kawaii !, that means super cute in Japanese !

The streets of Harajuku are your catwalkbishoujo, you're so vogue

That's what you drop

.

Cho saikou, Harajuku girls

And that's what you drop, and that's what you drop

Cho saikou, Harajuku girls

I'm your biggest fan

Gwen Stefani, you like me?!

Harajuku girls, you got the wicked style

I like the way that you are

I am your biggest fan, oh Harajuku girls, you got the wicked style

I like the way that you are

I am your biggest fan, oh Harajuku girls

.
Style detached from content

A fatal attraction to cuteness

Style is style

Fashion is fashion

Girl, you got style!

Pancakes & Flannels

Pancakes, maple syrup, flannel shirts, working boots, and last but not least some good folksy, woodsy, working as a lumberjack songs. Plaid flannels are a hipster thing, and yes I have bought into it (I got mine from the men's section at Target). This is a cosy theme for a post - perfect for post -holiday winter, when all you want is spring. Embrace winter and start whistling while you work!

Bon Iver: Apparently the band spent the whole time recording this in a tiny cabin during the winter in some freezing snowy state up north, and the sound definitely represents that - its not winter depressing or anything, but you do feel like you are taking walks in the snow when listening.

Fleet Foxes: I'm sure you have heard of these guys from Seattle. Their lush folksy sound, sounds genuine and authentic, like you are at a fall festival somewhere in the blue ridge mountains. And a lot of their songs have to do with nature and such. I am in love with the entire CD, it transcends time but takes you to another place! And is it odd that I picture snow bunnies chasing each other when I hear Fleet Foxes?

Blitzen Trapper: I only own their song "Furr" so far, but am hoping to get their whole CD soon! but I thought the wood grain cover was fitting for a lumberjack!

The Elected: The cover looks like the lumberjack's log cabin in the summertime. In fact it is quite a summer CD, but woodsy nonetheless!

A Band Do!

Back in September I posted about the fun headband line ban.do.

Now the brand has expanded into belts as well. They kept the same elegant, whimsical aesthetic that they applied for their headbands for their belts as well (actually it looks like you could tie the ribbon belt on your head and call it a hair accessory).

Its like Blair Waldorf...but for your waist :)
