Nagoya Passe Mall + CECIL McBEE

Well, it's definitely summer now! It's been so humid and hot this past week here in Japan! I'm used to the weather being really bad since it's always really sunny and hot in Southern California but when you bring humidity into the equation, it's never fun!

Friday night, me and some friends decided to go clubbing in Sakae! There was a lot of people walking around, including lots of hosts! I wish that I would have taken photos of them, the hosts hair that night was better than any other nights I've been in Sakae!

I was rushing to make my train and meet up with friends there that I didn't have enough time to take a picture of my clubbing outfit! When I'm in Osaka, I'll be sure to take photos of it next time! I got called 'LADY GAGA' by random guys so I guess that can tell you how I dressed up?!

On Saturday, after downing a few cups of coffee to wake me up from getting home so late the night before, I went to Nagoya Passe Mall! I heard that they were having a HUGE summer sale there, so I even woke up early to get there to get a chance for some lowered sale items. But it didn't matter since it still was crazy and packed full of people when I got there!

My first stop was of course CECIL McBEE!

I've never gone to any gyaru stores in Japan, and I've loved CECIL McBEE for so many years now, so I felt so happy being able to go into the store and see so many lovely gals there! I felt so inadequate even being in the same area as them!

Now, I don't know about you, but I'm obsessed with bags. I'd rather buy a super expensive bag over a super expensive top, no matter what brand it is. That's why I have two Louis Vuitton bags and no real designer tops!

After looking at this bag, I instantly knew that I HAD to buy it! Have you ever had that feeling of finding something you weren't initially looking for and after seeing it, you just feel like you need it!? I think this is the shopaholic in me talking now!

I am totally in love with this purse. The design is so beautiful!

The inside, although small, is really wide, so you can fit a lot in here if you need to! This is a really sexy and convenient purse, costing about ONLY 3,500-4,500 yen or so! With the wallet, the total was under 6,000 yen!

One thing that was really surprisingly is that they gave me a shopping bag for my bag and wallet! I was also very pleased with how friendly and nice they were to me since I was expecting the opposite! It was like a mad house in their store since they are the first store you see once you take the escalator up to the second floor.

This wallet was on sale for 1,550 yen! I snagged it SO fast after seeing the price! I really love the style and the design, even as simple as it is!

I've been looking for a small wallet since the messenger bag I brought with me is too small for my Coach wallet. This is the perfect wallet for me! I'm going to look for a coin purse to put all of my coins in (and I have a lot of them!) but I'm in love with this small and convenient wallet!

W♥C was also really packed! It's on the floor below the top floor, so I had trouble finding it at first, but I was so happy to see it! Next to it is COCOLULU, but I didn't have the opportunity take a photo of it. I was trying to be SO sneaky by taking these photos! I was a bit disappointed with how small the store was, but they had lots of cute summer styled clothes!

LIZ LISA and ROSE FAN FAN

LIZ LISA was probably the most packed! The shop staff in the white was standing on a tall ladder and yelling across the floor about their sale. She had such a big voice! I was so surprised to hear that come out of her tiny body! The shop staff at LIZ LISA were also very nice, and everything I looked at, the girl with the brown hair in a bun (in front of the shop staff in white) would comment on and ask me about it.

One of the LIZ LISA shop staff gave me this really cute fan! And I also gave in and bought this korilakkuma notebook!

I also walked into EGOIST, SLY, and d.i.a. but I didn't really see anything that caught my eye! I think I was so in love with the CECIL McBEE bag, that I wasn't too interested in anything else! The EGOIST shop staff were also very nice and really friendly, and managed to understand my horrible Japanese somehow!

I also got this bag from a shop staff at VENCE, which is a brand that I never knew about before! They had a lot of cool LADY GAGA designed t-shirts, but I was hoping to see better ones. I did like that they were playing all of her songs but remixes of them!

Nagoya TV Tower and the park across from OASIS21

During the day on Saturday, there were a lot of bands/artists playing covers or their own songs. This band was only playing MUCC songs! I could hear them playing all the way from Sunshine Sakae, so I had to of course run over and watch them play. The singer actually did sound a bit like Tatsurou!

This is my last week here in Aichi-ken, and then I leave for Kansai! I'm going to miss my home here, but it's always fun to start a new adventure!
