it is SUMMER and it is TOO HOT TO DO ANYTHING but i am FORCING MYSELF TO GO OUT ANYWAYS
In today’s video I go to Harajuku and visit Meiji Jingu for maybeeee the first time??? Also window shopped in Shimokitazawa and admired the clothing from afar…it’s not for me even though I wish it was!! I genuinely can’t fit most things lmao
Have you been before? Actually I think this was my first time in Shimokita in about a year? Not sure why I’m too lazy to drag myself over there even though I enjoy the vibes 🙈

HELLO EVERYONE IT IS HOT!!!! thrifting is too much work. but. i love my new desk. ok i am going to play genshin now 🌞
the miffy bag is sooo cute
I’ve never been to Shimokitazawa, in fact I’ve never been to Japan 😂 I hope to go some day and I’ll visit because it looks like I’d enjoy the vibes too ❤️
Also, I live in Los Angeles and it’s TOO hot for me. Once it hits 70 I’m out. I can’t!
WIAT!!!
Is the Milcery figure from Rement?!
omggg U PUT ME IN THE VLOG 🥹 actually i don’t thrift either, i wish i was did but i think i mistook it for what thrifting is in america! didn’t know it’s so expensive oops 😂 i hope u had fun anyways~
I didn't know Miffy (or as we call her Nijntje in the Benelux!) was such a thing in Japan. That's so interesting to see. I grew up with the tv show as a child!
Lovely video. Thrifting in the U.K can be good sometimes not.hope you keep growing your hair, put little clips in your fringe for school. 👍🥰
I love how unique the style of those shops in Shimokitazawa look. (Let's be honest most non chain shops look unique in Japan lol). At this point I am wondering if Genshin will sponsor you one day x)?!
I love that lil picnic dress you're wearing! 😍
It is soooo hot! I live in Wisconsin, USA, so I am not used to very extreme heat waves lol 😆 But I can’t even imagine Japan right now 🥵 Thank you for showing us this video!! I love all the super cute Sanrio stuff you saw. I’m not a particular fan of Sanrio, but you make it look so appealing, like now I REALLY WANT some merch! See you soon 😊
Aw what a bummer that thrifting isn't super fruitful in Japan like it is here in the US! Haha Loved this video because I always wondered what it's like 🙂 Thank you for sharing your experience! Have some well deserved Genshin time!
Hey Allison! Just wanted so say that I love your vlogs and always look forward to every upload!! <3 Please keep making them, they are absolutely perfect and cozy in every way 💙
Im planning on going to Japan by next year and I’m so excited it’s happening! But I’m nervous I don’t know any of the language hahaha
I don't know if the Kero-chan keychain in the Kiddy Land store is actually a passholder, but I want that because it is so cute. I also want your Cardcaptor Sakura bag. 😆
真棒，继续加油。
Omg that desk is PERFECT and I've been searching for one like this!! Where did you find it? 😮
where is that CLOCK from that’s on your desk? 😍😭😍
I really like your vlogs. I will watch them whenever I see a new upload.
Very nice vlog and I love your new desk. It looks really good and so much more space 😍 I have a pretty small desk right now, but a bigger one would fit. So I try to make the most out of it. I’m thinking of getting a new monitor stand bc the one I currently have takes too much precious space. We’ll see. Btw thrifting in Germany isn’t that much fun. It’s mostly stuff that’s in not so good shape anymore and it’s really hard to find something good. I’m not a huge fan and I get the impression that it isn’t as common as it used to be a few years ago anymore.
omg so many Cardcaptor Sakura things 😍 One Christmas my parents found Cardcaptor Sakura keychains for me. I still have two intact (Kero and Meiling), and I think I still have Sakura minus the very tip of her scepter, but Syaoran Li literally lost his head. (I had them both on a sports bag I used for karate class.) Those things are so breakable!
I loved Shimokita sooo much
@allison May I ask a question, first of all it sucks because I'm a beginner and I want to learn Japanese too, I don't know what to do first, it's supposed to be hiragana or kanji, can you write in the comment all the Japanese words that are different, pretending to be hiragana, kanji, meaning and what order is that? I don't know what I know, I think there is a furigana, pls im begging you! I really need it and I haven't started 😭😭😭😢 pls respond if there is anything I'm waiting here 😫😭😭
omg is the kero-chan from the sanrio x ccs gacha? ive seen a few up here in hokkaido, i tried 3 times but i ended up getting 1 sakura and 2 cinnamorolls ;-; after that i gave up bc i didnt want another repeat
I love love love e thrifting🥰🥰 I go once a week .
Love your vlogs 🥰 Hope you are doing okay in the heat!
Having a heatwave here in Oregon too.
the square-necked top dress is a winner!
i think maybe the thrift shops are actually more like vintage shops, which is a little different and that's why they're so much more expensive
If I ever moved to japan my place would be filled with nothing but Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai stuff lol
