Shopping at Jam Pixy and The Daiso

On the first full day here in Tokyo I did some shopping in the local area, and didn't stray too far from my accommodation. It was a good way to see the area, learn about the attractions nearby and I got my first taste of the cool January weather here. During the day when there is sun, it's quite nice - like spring. But in the evening, nice and indoors its too cold for me.

So the first thing I did with my friend was visit a local free Japanese style garden, and I will write about that in my next post. After that we went to a Daiso in the area, which was on the third floor of a shopping center. There was also a arcade next to it for little kids. It was a pretty large Daiso, and it was quite difficult to decided what to look at first.

A selection of party crackers, I got mine here haha

I wanted to buy a couple of baskets at The Daiso so I could store my various daily goods like brushes, lotion, deodorant etc in one spot without having to dig through my suitcase each morning. I was able to find two cute pink little plastic baskets, and after I had picked them up I found a red heart shaped one elsewhere in the store. It was sooo cute, but I was too lazy to put the other ones back haha.

I also picked up a moko moko shu shu, and some things for future giveaways hehe^^ I was really good this time and only spent about 11$ there. I never usually spend so little in a 100 yen shop haha! I did buy a pair of false eyelashes however, I don't have glue yet, but I thought a cheap pair would be the best for a first try.

Which eyelashes would you choose?

After we finished shopping around The Daiso, we left the building and I saw a Shimamura there. I have always been curious since I saw many of their items on poupeegirl. So then my friend brought me to the store Jam Pixy.

Jam Pixy is a young ladies' clothing store that sells cute items at a low price. It seemed like rather small shop because it was totally stuffed with t-shirts, ruffle shirt, moko moko room wear and trendy jackets. While I was in there it got a bit crowded. I thought they had quite a few very cute items, but the ones I liked best weren't in L size >< haha.

They had many different gal styles, but in the end I choose moko moko socks for 105 yen and a shirt for 315 yen because it had some really funny writing on it. I hesitate to even call it engrish because it's not even a word haha. I hope to buy a few more clothes in Japan, but I am not expecting it since my size is a bit too big for Japanese clothing. haha^^

I assume they mean "Temptation"?
