Brand Focus: Paul's Boutique
Paul’s Boutique is a UK-based label known for its playfully excessive line of clothing and accessories. While certainly not Japanese, fans of perennial favorite gyaru brand Cocolulu are sure to find some common ground within Paul’s range of bright and colorful tops and bags. I have a feeling it’s only a matter of time before word gets out and girls everywhere start snapping up...

Tokyo Telephone -- Brand: Roen →
Tokyo Telephone’s writing is great as I’ve come to expect. While I think that Roen’s prices are a bit crazy, this part rings particularly true to me:
Whereas the shops of 109-2 offer some amazing designs the quality of materials used can sometimes leave something to be deisred. Case in point would have to be the difficulty in finding solid leather boots – they are nearly...

Jump Sneakers
Hey guys, I’m back!
Lately I’ve been looking into getting a decent pair of sneakers. I don’t wear sneakers often but it would be nice to have something cool to wear when I do. I wasn’t prepared to lay down $600 for a pair of Margiela’s, and was also looking for something a bit “louder”. Coincidentally, I found out about the brand JUMP, who appear to be...

Trend Watching: Asymmetrical Tees
One trend I’ve been spotting here and there amongst all the new arrivals at various select shops is asymmetrical tees. We’ve already seen a lot of draped tops and loose pants to go along with the current ethnic boom, so it makes sense that shape will likely play a big role in the upcoming season as well. Check out how various brands are interpreting the asymmetrical look…

Vacation
I’m going on vacation to visit my family for the next week and will be updating sparingly, if at all. Shockingly, seeing my mother for the first time in two years takes precedence over scouring Marui for sweet deals. Retromantique is coming with me as well. Hopefully the other two girls can pick up the slack!

Tokyo Telephone →
Just found this amazing blog and had to share it with you. The writers Samuel and Rebecca describe it as a blog for tourists in Japan, but I’d say it’s more like an entirely thorough digestion and description of a bunch of cool Japanese shit. Also, Samuel appears to be the only other male Tornado Mart fan I know who isn’t Japanese.
The quality of writing is superb and the...
