It’s the start of my Japan blog posts! Finally, after more than a month, I’m now able to blog about my trip to Tokyo. As you all know, I, together with Tricia, attended EMODA’s TouchME Fashion show last May 17. Since I was already getting flown in to Tokyo for the show, I went ahead and extended my stay for a bit so that I can squeeze a little shopping and sightseeing in. I invited my mom and sister to come with me so they booked a flight to the city as well. I flew ahead though which means I had quite some time to myself. So what did I do? Schedule a date around the city with Tricia!
I’ve only been to Japan once before so Tricia’s definitely more familiar with the place. I told her, “show me your ways and I shall follow!” LOL! I was an eager tourist. The first stop in our itinerary? Purikura heaven at Club Sega!
I was beyond amazed at what these machines can do. I mean I’ve tried neo prints, but these, these are on a league of their own!!! They have the power to make ANYONE, and I mean, ANYONE (all caps for emphasis) pretty! I don’t know how they do it. They make your face, chin and nose instantly smaller, your eyes bigger, your skin smoother. In short, they make you look like a doll.
So basically, this is what you’ll see once you’re inside one of the machines. Look at the lighting around it! It’s strategically placed to make anyone look flawless!
You can choose different backgrounds, themes and editing styles for your photos. Tricia and I had so much fun copying the poses!
After your photos are taken, more magic happens here. You already look like a doll but you can still edit each of your photos by not only adding words, stickers, props and changing backgrounds, but also makeup!!! You can make your lashes longer, change your lip color, enlarge your eyes and so on and so forth. This is one mean machine!
Tricia and I got sucked into doing 3 rounds of purikura. How can we not? Look how cute our photos turned out? I wish I have a machine like this at home. I’d take my ID photos there! Outfit shots even! Haha!
But sadly, I don’t have a machine like this so it’s back to reality for us. Thank you for introducing the madness that is purikura, Tricia! For now, we’d have to settle with our normal and too-honest-for-our-own good cameras. LOL! (Check out our matching caps. Both Tricia and I got them after we spent the whole afternoon shopping around Shibuya 109.)
After Tricia and I parted ways, I walked around Shibuya a bit more while waiting for my mom and sister to arrive. Look at what caught my attention. Clearly, she caught the guy’s attention as well because he tried to pull one of her stuffed toys. Mean guy!
This is her getting annoyed at the guy who tried to pull her “stuffed toy dress”. (Ayan kasi, nangenge-alam!) I can just imagine how warm she must feel in this. Career kung career! A for effort! This is what you call tiis ganda to the highest level!
Leave it up to the Japanese to make my outfit look mediocre.
I may not have stuffed toys on my clothes but I hope you still appreciate this black and white, print on print outfit.

Of course I’m not ending this post without photos of what I had for dinner. By this time, my sister and mom have already arrived so we headed straight to this sushi restaurant called Nemuro Sho Kudo, located at Shibuya.
All the seafood they serve here are shipped directly from Nemuro and Hokkaido. Feast your eyes on just a few of the fresh seafood we had!
More posts from Tokyo in the coming days!
Wow, I know this is late (haha, it’s not just you who’s behind on blogging, but your readers as well) but I LOVE your jacket. I’ve been looking for a tweed blazer/jacket that’s loose and has a kind of unfinished look, like the one you’re wearing. How old is the blazer/jacket? Would it still be in stores in USA or Canada do you think?
Btw, love the pointy-ness of the shoes!
Thanks Angela! Hmmm I doubt it. I don’t see it in any of the Zara stores I’ve been to lately.
Hindi ko keri ang fashion sense nung girl na puro stuffies ang dala!
Hindi ba siya nabibigatan dun?! Geeed!
Talagang nasa dress nya ang mga stuff toys? Mukha kasing bitbit nya lang eh.
Ermergerd!
Ang cute ng outfit mo.Did you intend to buy that hat to match your shoes?
At ang cute nyo dun sa Purikura.:) I wanna have that kind of machine, na ang effect ay sa personal at hindi lang sa photo. :D
I think they’re attached to her dress talaga :) I bought the cap because I liked it then later, I realized, bagay pala to my outfit so I wore it :)
camille i really wonder can you just give me an advice you know how i love to go to ateneo . my mom keeps telling me to have a 4 year course so i easily think of Psychology but i also want to be like you, or laureen or liz uy .so do i really have to take 2 courses?
Why 2 courses? One will do. Even if you take Psychology, you can still pursue fashion. A lot of people in fashion took different courses but ended up in fashion pa rin after. :) It’s really about the passion and talent :)
I like what you’re wearing here, Ms Camille!! So Tokyo Chic!! =) I died when i see the Purikura!!! You and Tricia looks so kawaii ne~ Purikura is definitely in my bucket list! It looks much more fun in Japan! I love your cap and shoes!! <3
Thanks Christine!
japan is one of the place that i wish to go for trip. :) your Purikura shots are beautiful. :)
Thank you Maebs!
Perfect color match for the shoes and cap. Can I have the cap as a gift? Haha! I’ll hype this one. :)
Haha! But I love my cap! :) Thanks Rafael!
How did you know which one to order? I didn’t see a single English word in the menu! Haha
Haha! The waitress knew how to speak mandarin :)
baka naman nagtitinda pala ng stuff toys! hahaha that cap is so dope! i wanna steal it! charot!
Haha! Akala ko rin at first but hindi talaga :)
shucks! really? if that’s how flamboyant she’s dressing now i wonder what other stuff she hangs on her body on other days! hahaha and on this outfit of hers, it doesn’t show how she loves stuff toys. actually medyo kinulang! she should have add something like this http://www.google.com.ph/imgres?hl=en&biw=1343&bih=940&tbm=isch&tbnid=mSq_OR0rKb0ThM:&imgrefurl=http://blog.ningin.com/2012/08/24/2ne1-meets-up-with-jeremy-scott-while-in-la/&docid=w5dnBCboOfK6iM&imgurl=http://cdn6.mixrmedia.com/wp-uploads/ningin/blog/2012/08/an0ke2.jpg&w=600&h=900&ei=RyHNUarAH67uiAfYjIHIDA&zoom=1 (dont fret to click the link. it’s safe! i know your fear hahaha) this is actually a Jeremy Scott creation :)
LOL! You know me, paranoid haha! :) Yes I’ve seen that on Dara!
Ohhhh FOODS hahaha … Aww i love your picture with tricia :))) love our jacket :)
http://itsgracebala.blogspot.ca/
Thank you Grace!
Ohhh. Thanks a lot I’m able to drop by here again:) those shoes are sooooo nice:) and the print on print soo stunning:)
Thanks Samboy!
That woman with stuff toys on her outfit is so funny!! ha-ha-ha. Ang lakas ng trip pero infairness ang cute niya at nung mga stuff toys so no wonder why that guy dare to steal her stuff toys. hahaha epic!!! :)
That guys is mean!!!
I love this two piece look!

Thanks Cathy!
which do you prefer Ms. Cams in terms of beauty products Japanese or Korean Brands?
I like both. :) I can’t choose!
envious to the highest level!
:)
I had fun looking through your Purikura photos! Wish they’d also put up such a photobooth here in the Philippines.
Anyway, your outfit is far from mediocre! No one but you can pull off print-on-print plus gold accents in the form of your headgear and shoes. I’m partial to your choice of purse for this ensemble. I thought at first it was your camera bag, but I took a good look at the rest of the photos and loved the way it coincides with your color palette!
Thanks Angelic! I really wish we have 1 in the Philippines too!
haha. :) yeah and super “tiis ganda” moment. lol! maybe she is cosplaying. overall I love your outfit. :)
Maybe! Thanks Marichelle! :)
I love that puffy pink girl w/ overloaded accessories all over her, that kind of look there is called rebel fashion. Shibuya street is the street where you can find girls wearing anything what they like & where there are no rules for fashion. I’ve seen it on a travel documentary on tv.
Anyways..i love camille’s travel-fashion blog. And mostly i love your outfit camille, it’s so cool & classy.❤
Thank you Alchie! She’s definitely a rebel! :)
Black and gold. Perfect combo! Love the shoes and the whole outfit. Sexy and super chic. :)

Thank you KC!
Holy Moly grabe ang tawa ko sa Stuffed Toy dress na picture! hahaha… nakuha mo pa ang emotion ni ate jan… The Japanese do have their own fashion flair! Parang stuff toy Jeremy Scott pants lang ni Sandara ang peg. hehehe… but your outfit is far from being mediocre though. I really like it! :)
I got lucky! Buti na lang I was able to capture it :)
love the beauty addict machine,.. if the philippines has that, many pinays would line up!!! ^__^
you’re black n white print on print look was great!!!
For sure!! Thanks Hazel!
look at those lashes! so pretty :)
Thanks Jam! All because of Nail Spa Lounge :)
can you read the whole menu, Camille? or there’s an English version beside the… Japanese menu? :D
The waitress can speak Mandarin so we just spoke to her in Mandarin :)
ohhh how i wish we have that machine here! i want to try it too! :)
You’ll be there for hours!
is it just me or I’ve seen that givenchy bag in a bajillion colors in your past outfit posts…
Nope! I only have a bigger version in orange and another small one but I haven’t posted that :)
Hello,
Nice shirt :X and your pictures are amazing.
I love you blog, would you like to follow each other?
http://shoeper-women.blogspot.ro/
Thanks Miu Miu!
i’m amazed how the japanese can get really eccentric with fashion (like that girl wearing stuffed toys). when I had my tour in japan, i saw a girl with huge swarovskis on her nails and LASHES! (ndi ba ang bigat non!?) ..pero mas panalo pa din yung stuffed toys. hahaha!
Stuffed toys trumps nails & lashes! Haha! :) I love that they’re so open to all types of styles :) No judgement!
OMG! i loooove seafooooooods! you made me hungry :(((( Love your outfit! :) Tricia’s Japanese right?
Nope! She’s half Filipino, half Chinese :)
Even though you are not wearing a stuffed toy dress. I still like your outfit post! Your look can easily stand out in a Harajuku crowd! kahit print on print, it has a minimalism vibe. :) The guy who tried to pull one of her stuffed toys in her dress, was so rude :(
Yeah, I found him so rude as well. :) Thanks Nelayish!
Japan! I love japan!! Hoping to visit that country sooon :-) love the matching gold bag and hat! :-)

Awesooooome cute-sy gal wearing harajuku clothes! Bears! I wished it was Korilakkuma though… LOL! Food! <3 More photos please! <3 XOXO
I like Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku and Ginza. :) more photos coming!
Your cap perfectly matches your shoes. Awesome find! Don’t worry Camille, your outfit was never mediocre. As always, it was beautiful. :) I wanna have a machine like that at home too. I wish they bring those here in the Philippines…

Thank you Diana! I’m sure you will!
Beyonce wore that top too! She wore it with the matching skirt. I never thought I’d see Beyonce wear Topshop considering that she can afford to wear designer brands everyday. haha! Bongga nanaman pagkamix ng prints mo dito! Magiging proud sila
Mary Katranzou at Peter Pilotto pag nakita nila ‘to. chos.
EXCITED na ako to see you wear your new Alexander Wang and Zanotti! Feeling ko susuotin mo yung isa dun sa Preview Ball no? Blog about your outfit ha!!!!! ;) What’s this year’s theme ba?
Hahaha! Thanks Tasha! Nahiya naman ako kay Beyonce, Mary and Peter!

Nice cap! I’d love to have one. And your lashes are looooooooooong! Are they still extensions? (*^^,*)
Yes! :)
You’re both kawaii! Hehe. Your pictures of purikura makes me wonder what would you be like if you go cosplaying? Hehe. Just my randomness :)
Thanks Lourine! Haha! I’ve been told a lot of times I can do cosplay daw. Haha! I can’t imagine!
Purikura!! If only we had those here too! Those machines are like a gife from the gods!! @o@ Grabe talaga Japanese street fashion! It can get very extreme but I have to give them A++ for effort :P Todo bigay talaga sila! No worries, I still love your Black and White ootd with the touch of gold :3
Thanks Sephie! Yeah, I love how they don’t judge. Kanya-kanyang style!
That photo machine is soo cool. HAHAHA. But of course, you don’t need that, Camille. You are beautiful inside and out. And I mean it. :)
Thank you Lyndon! I need the machine, I want the machine!!! Haha!
