Love my town

By sweetreat in , , , , , ,

Before settling in, my friend told me that Kichijoji was the number one place in Japan place where everyone wanted to live. After being here for a few weeks, I can completely understand why; heaps of places to shop, restaurants from all over the world, cutest boutiques and coffee shops. 
Since I had nothing to do today I decided to explore a bit more. 


Cutest cupcake shop! 


a humburger jacket lol


Lots of 'ふるぎや' second hand stuff really adds to the charm of Kichijoji!
Came home with these delicious cupcakes! :)

The Good, The Bad & the Ugly

By sweetreat in , ,

Today I woke up early to get my Visa done for our trip to China (only a month now!). Also I needed more time to make myself pretty since I needed to take a passport photo too.. but as per usual, they ended up super fugly! Has anyone ever had a flattering passport/license photo? :(

So this is how I wished my photos turned out! 




Good old iPhone... never lets me down :')

Well it wasn't as bad as my passport photo back in primary school. I got the weirdest looks from the airport staff whenever I traveled around after high school. On one occasion the guy actually did a double take and called one of the other staff members to look at it too. Gosh, embarrassing much? I was super chubbs back in the day, but I lost a lot of it after changing my diet.. Anyway I was so relieved to renew my passport last year and get an updated photo of my face! :D 

Unfortunately my girlfriends weren't able to go through with their visas because they needed birth certificates.. but we spent the rest of the day walking around Chapel looking for birthday supplies for my girlfriend's 21st. Can't wait! :)


My gf borrowed some dessert recipe books for her birthday :)
So we set off on our journey to look for party supplies!

Oh, Jeffrey Campbell

By sweetreat in , ,

Yay! So I won my first pair of Jeffrey Cambells on ebay. I'm not used to spending so much on shoes (trust me, I'm a stingy bitch lol) but I immediately fell in love with these when I saw them. Unfortunately they were too narrow for me at the toes :( But I'm determined to fit into them with the help of Michelle Phan's video on how to stretch your shoes.. Let's pray it works with suede leather!
