[JAPAN] Great cities: Osaka ♥ Shopping at Osaka station part 2 + I've won a Giveaway!!

Greetings to all mermaids out there! ♥ This is final part 2 about my shopping day at Osaka station ~

Osaka has so many stylish people, wow!!  I enjoyed strolling through the streets there so much!
To complete my picture spam of this day, here are the other wonderful gyaru shops located in Lucua shopping center: ( part 1 )

Honey Bunch ♥

Cecil McBee! 

One of the first shops I really fell in love with when I first discovered gyaru fashion ♥

You can often see small signs that tell you in which magazine this clothing item was featured, I think that's so cool! They should do that in Germany too! It's fun to know that you wear the same fashion item as, for example, your favourite model haha~

Elegant Murua store!

And some more pictures from SWIMMER/Chocoholic <3 All their items are soo cute! *-*

The other pins I've mentioned in previous postings!

Another really cute shop staff girl! 

... and right besides the gyaru shops you can get your nails done! :D Very practical!

There also was a Topshop where I found this cozy sweater! I want it!! Soo good for winter <3 

And now, as you could read in the title of this post: something magical happened! I've won a Giveaway!! :D 

This was a big surprise for me, because I've never won a Giveaway before ( and didn't think it would happen any soon)

The Giveaway was hosted by stylish German blogger Yulie Kendra and my prize is this beautiful vintage red bowknot dress!! Ahhh  ♥ ♥ ♥

I joined this Giveaway because the dress reminded me of an evening gown from one of my favourite movies, 'Moulin Rouge' ^////^  ♥
I'm so happy I've won it!
But, unfortunately, I will have to wait for 5 months 'till I can open the package! ^^' But oh well, at least now I have one more good reason to go back home after my journey I suppose ;)

That's all for today! Thanks for reading and have a nice evening~

[JAPAN] Great cities: Nara ♥

Hello everyone ♥

I hope you're all having nice autumn days!
Today I want to show you some pictures from my daytrip to Nara~
After visiting Kyoto last week on Saturday, I decided to go to this pretty city one day later, Sunday ♥

I decided to just stay in Nara park since most of the World Heritage sights are located there and it's a really huuuge park :D

First stop was Kofukuji with beautiful five-story Pagoda!

  After visiting Kofukuji I wanted to walk to Todaiji temple directly but since this park is so big I lost my way a bit (again) ^^'' But luckily I saw this sign on the sidewalk and decided to take a look:

... aaand I found a reaaally cute Vintage Shop and Café!

The menu card was in scrapbook style~ ♥

That's how it looked inside! typically Japanese and nicely decorated~

Plus it was on 2nd floor so you had a nice view over the roofs of Nara  ♥

And here is what I ordered:

*__* Sooo delicious! Even better than it looks haha ♥ ♥

So after this wonderful refreshment I tried to find Todaiji temple again...

...and succeeded! :D

Todaji temple! 

Inside was this huuuuuge Buddha statue!!

I took so much pictures of deer, they were sooooooo cuuuuuuuuuteee awww ♥ much love!

After that I walked to Tamukeyama-Hachimangu shrine!

Ema! I also wrote one but I won't tell you ♥

It was late afternoon already when I walked to my next destination, Kasuga-Taisha shrine!

I also couldn't resist to buy some deer cookies and feed them ^////^ I think they'll probably get more than enough of these cookies but well... look at them! :D They're just too cute!

Kasuga-Taisha shrine!

In front of this shrine is a road with thousands of lanterns!! It was quite impressive!

I walked along this long road and it brought me back to where I started in the morning ♫

All in all, it was a very nice day in Nara ♥ Again I walked for many hours but it wasn't exhausting because there was just so much to see! Although there were many tourists in Nara park, I still think it has a nice atmosphere, especially in the evening. You could also stay there and just relax! ^-^

Maybe I should come here again someday and visit more places in the city, but for just one day staying in Nara park was perfect. ♫

So that was my second weekend in Kansai and the third weekend also already passed waah I need to keep up with my postings ;)

But that's all for today, thanks for reading!
