LuLu*s in Japan: Tokyo DisneySea

Jacket: c/o LuLu*s
Sweater: c/o LuLu*s
Leggings: Madewell
Boots: c/o Khombu
Backpack: Target
Minnie Ears: DISNEY!

Welcome to the happiest place..... in Japan!
Aaand welcome to the second look in my LuLu*s in Japan series!

The day we went to Tokyo DisneySea was sooooo magical and super...califragilisticexpialidocious. It was extremely cool being able to visit a Disney park in a different country and experience all the different attractions and features! One of my favorite parts was of course, Triton's Castle (aka my home base). It was like a colorful, aquatic version of Sleeping Beauty's Castle! Also, this is random but Tokyo Disney is all about their assorted-flavored popcorn. There are designated parts of the park where you can get certain flavors and apparently it's a thing to try to collect them all throughout the day! We didn't really know about it until the end of the day so we only got to try black pepper, white chocolate, and caramel... I think. The only tiny downer was that it was pretty crowded on the day that we went so we weren't able to go on too many rides. Unfortunately I think it was literally the day before all the kids went back to school so every Japanese student in the country was basically there...

I fell in LOVE with this leather jacket while I was in Japan. Usually most leather jackets I've had or tried on are either super tight and restraining, or too loose and bulky. This one is just right. It kept me cozy throughout the day and even at night! Also, remember when I said that turtlenecks would be a common theme throughout this series? Well I wasn't kidding. I loved pairing this burgundy sweater with my leather jacket because it added a nice touch of color to the whole outfit! Aaand you cannot forget the Minnie Ears whenever you go to any Disney park, no matter what country. (:

A full look at Triton's Castle!

Here is my VLOG from the day we spent at Tokyo DisneySea!

Have a sassy Thursday my friends!

It features my fluffy little Samson!

Expectations vs. Reality: Having a Dog

Hey there friendship.

In today’s video I share some expectations and realities of having a dog! Furry friends are awesome, but let’s be real. A lot of the time they don’t quite live up to our fantasies… That doesn’t mean we love them any less though, right??? I seriously adore my little Samson (if I haven’t made that obvious enough in all of my videos, haha).

HUGE props to Samson for actually cooperating in most of this video—anyone looking for a dog actor? ;) — and thanks to my friend Bri for dropping by during her lunch break to get harassed by Samson.

Earmuffs: bought them in Japan! [similar]

I'm bringing earmuffs back.

*cue JT* yeahhhh.

No but for real, when did earmuffs stop being a thing? Probably when our childhood ended. I fell in love with them while I was in Japan because they kept my ears from freezing off without having to give myself hat-hair aaaaand they're dang cute. IMO. I was super into Scream Queens right before I left for my trip so that might have to do with my sudden obsession with muffs. Chanel #3 is my spirit animal. JK not really... but her ear muffs were.

I was super stoked to take LuLu*s with me to Japan to do a little fashion series while I was abroad! I wore this first outfit while we were exploring Tokyo for the first time. On this day we visited Tokyo Tower, Asakusa, and Akihabara! We saw a monkey do some amazing tricks and even get to hang out in an owl cafe. Japan, you're awesome. This sherpa coat kept me nice and warm the entire day (it wasn't frigid cold as it was in Utah, but there was still a chill in the air) and went nicely with the earmuffs I shamelessly sported. Just an FYI, turtlenecks will be a theme in this series (I wore turtlenecks in my next two outfits as well)--I just found that it nixed the need to swear a scarf to keep my neck warm aaaaaaand they're dang cute (I think that's going to be my new catch phrase). I loved this turtleneck in particular because it was thick (a lot thicker than I thought it was going to be) so it added a nice layer of warmth underneath my coat. And of course, this Fawn Design bag brought this entire outfit together because..... it's dang cute. lolz. But for real. I love Fawn Design.

Thanks for chilling on my blog this fine Tuesday.

Please watch this complimentary vlog of the day I wore this outfit before you exit.

I hope you enjoyed your visit. Please come again!

;)

ps. Happy March 1st.

Cheers.
