SHOOTING AROUND OMOTESANDO
I was happy to spend my first day in Tokyo hanging out on Omotesando snapping some pictures of the stylish passer-bys.
While waiting for the then empty streets to fill up, mom and I had breakfast at Andersen's, a Danish restaurunt my mom has been frequenting since she moved here in 1982.
It was delicious.
It wasn't long before Omotesando became a sea of people....
A shady nook next to a convenience store is apparently a watering hole for Omotesando's steeziest...they were all just parked here, silently begging to have their photographs taken!
It was funny, as my mom and I were snapping along Omotesando, there must have been at least 5 people who came by hauling big piles of twigs. I wonder what they were for!
It wasn't long before my mom and I were exhausted...stopped to give our feet a rest.

Love the outfits, the boots are so cute, but where are those trousers from, I adore the the cute crop flare!!! I am seriously considering a quick asault with the scissors on my jeans!

Ohhh I miss Tokyo. Hope you have fun there!
what camera do you use???
Welcome to Tokyo! :)
It's been getting warmer and warmer and it's more mendokusai (bothersome) to dress up when it's so hot out (for me). However, everyone else, (specially on Omotesando) is still photo-worthy.
Enjoy your holidays!
Looks like it's amazing!! Hope you two are having a blast!
Have fun!
