The March mags are full of blooming Spring fashion. So we thought we would share some of the top fashion tips from the cutest mags on the shelf - Cutie, Zipper and Kera.
Top 10 tips in no particular order...
* Leopard print - shirts, skirts, jackets and accessories. Seems the streets of Tokyo will be filled with wild cats this season.
* Anything Vivian Westwood. The streets of Tokyo are no stranger to Ms Westwood's sparkling array, her presence shall continue.
* Long necklaces with oversized pieces dangling from them. Another ongoing trend on the streets of Tokyo.
* Big hearts! Swinging from ears, necks and bags, big hearts are a symbol of the love splashed season.
* Bows! Pink bows, red bows, metallic bows, plastic bows. Bows for your hair, bows on a chain, bows for your phone, bows on your belt. Bows, bows everywhere.
* Bright tights. Tokyo is the city of leg and foot fashion, in every shape, color and pattern. Spring is a time to shed the thermals and show off the tights and high socks. Bright tights under dresses and skirts, high socks growing out of boots. 3/4 animal print tights, lace, stars, spots, stripes and lolita print.
* Vintage! This month's CUTiE magazine has an ultra cool spread showing off all of the hot and happening vintage stores in Tokyo. Vintage stores or op shops in Tokyo are breathtaking and tear jerking experiences, but often overpriced; clever CUTiE gives some awesome thrifty fashion tips. TOKYOMADE plans to let you in on more of these secrets over the next few weeks.
* Remakes. DIY fashion. The Tokyo kids sure know how to whip up a complete eye opening ensemble. As the winter jackets are peeled off Spring creations will be revealed.
* Chiffon and satin. Retro and romance.
* PINK (of course)
These are just a few of the stand out Fashion fixes for the season. We will be sure to write up all precious new fashion sightings!
ps More blossoms in the park! YAY! Spring is on it's way!

I just approved a My Space comment from you guys today and now I just came across your blog randomly. Hooray! Hey any suggestions on how to get subscriptions to these magazines? I had Fruits for awhile, but would prefer to get Cutie.

Hey Miss Naughty Secretary
As far as I can tell CUTiE is tricky to get outside of Japan unless you buy them second hand on ebay or something...but I did find this CUTiE fanclub hope it helps. http://cutie.aquarel.org/
Thanks for the lovely comment!
