Japanese Summer Festival at Mitsuwa

I know, I haven't blogged in a gabillion months and a zillion weeks; to be honest I lost some inspiration after my vacation to South America (I knew I should've gone to Asia!) But I am back! Hope you guys will come back with me!


Today, I went to check out the Japanese Summer Festival at Mitsuwa = A day full of food, games and of course shopping!


Rheea and Co. top, Old Navy shorts, Forever21 patent quilted purse, Franco Sarto strappy wedges

My friend J in her floral yukata (A yukata 浴衣 is a casual summer kimono usually made of cotton)

I love anything with bows


The food was totally worth the drive

I really want my own yukata now! :P Now this is a talented drum circle!


A kawaii little girl in a yukata came to play the drums with me, so adorbs!




Still praying for Japan, I hope things continue to improve, I heard they shut down elevators and escaltors in parts of Japan to save energy :/



Hope ya'll are having a great weekend! More posts coming soon!

I love Mitsuwa!!! We have a small 1 store grocery building in a suburb about 1 hour from the city, since I live in downtown chicago! Love going there to get that pudding you know which one I am talking about in the refrigerated section? This was a nice festival and I think you need to get one of the summer kimonos ;)

Your friend's yukata is so pretty! Is this the Mitsuwa Plaza in Fort Lee? I feel like the scenery in the background looks really familar :P I haven't been to Mitsuwa in years :)

I've been to the Mitsuwa in Jersey and going there is not a regular shopping trip, it is like an event - you can't avoid spending HOURS at that place!
