Shibuya 109.

The paradise of cute and pretty apparel. I saw a herd of girls in frilly frocks whilst balancing on adorable high heels, all dolled up with thick lashes and perky pink cheeks. Lisa Liza has always been a favourite store of mine, I’d go in with the intention of window shopping but exit looking like a human rack of bulky bags.

Customer service is like pride-rock, above and beyond. A sales assistant would be your personal basket, she’d follow you around and give advice on matching products and special offers. Once you’re done doing your pickings she’d go and fetch your items from stock (brand new and untainted by human fingers) and another good culture shock was the fact they seal your shopping bags with a small sticker so it keeps everything intact.

28 stamps away from completing my Liz Lisa Card. Axe Femme isn’t actually in Shibuya 109 but located in Harajuku and Ikebukuro, it comes second in my heart.
