4 year anniversary with my love Valentin in Berlin ♥

Hi there (^-^)v

This sunday my boyfriend Valentin and I had our 4 year anniversary ♥ 

We became a couple on the 23th August of 2011.

As a gift he got me this cute drawing of us by Mary Fraser.

I absolutely love it ! He even asked the artist to draw

our mascot plushie Fant on it ♪
Fant originally is Mouton from Sentimental Circus and we
collect everything with him since we got together.

The dress on this image is a real one of mine by Baby the stars shine bright.

☆:*･ﾟ(♡´∀｀♡)ﾎェ:*･ﾟ☆

We celebrated our anniversary in Berlin Friedrichshain.

Valentin is currently staying there because he does an
internship in a studio there for his music studies.

I stayed the whole weekend. On Saturday he showed me around the city
and we spontaneously went shopping. I just couldn't resist as there were
so many alternative and artistical stores. It reminded me a little of Harajuku.

I even found a necklace with stag antlers *-*

★'.･.LOVE~(^▽^(^▽^*)~LOVE.･.･:☆ 

We also got us matching shirts, he's wearing his on the photo above.

There's a geometrical origami crane shape on it,
 I got the same one as a tank top. I didn't wear mine yet.

I choose to wear a dress by workaholic fashion :

My boyfriend got it for me as a gift, along with

this shirt, also from workaholic :

The shop staff was super sweet and the saleswoman even gave it to
us a whole lot cheaper as she said she really wanted me to have it *-*
The shirt totally reminded me of the kind of vibe
the outfits of MØ and Lana Del Rey use to have.
I can't wait to create a look with it ♥

These sunglasses also were a gift by Valentin ~
yayyy anniversary shopping is the best ^o^ haha

chu ♥

 Later on we went to the Alexanderplatz and did some more
shopping, there he found these shoes for me :

You could see the Berlin TV Tower behind me, right between those
buildings on this picture, but it was impossible to take a
photo on which you can see it =D

 We were lucky we had such warm weather ♥

On sunday we had breakfast at the vegan café goodies* Berlin :

 It was just perfect ♥ I had a berry smoothy and Valentin
picked orange juice, as usual (out of everything he could get there !!).
But I think it's cute, everyone got their habits, right ;D
We also had some vegan burgers *q* and strawberry cheesecake.
Sorry guys, I ate the cake before he could take a photo xD
If you ever visit Berlin, you must go there ! 

Generally there were so many vegan places, supermarkets for organic food 

and veggie friendly restaurants - it was heaven for us ♥_♥

~♥~

~♥~

We also came across this store :

They had nuts, dried fruit, roasted almonds and much more !
We first smelled the store before we actually saw it *-*

Oh my gosh just look at it  ♪
The sticks are nuts in caramelized sugar I think.
You can also see dried Kiwi on the bottom right:

 Saturday evening we went to an Italian restaurant with Valentin's
family and after that we went to Berlin's
Harry's New York Bar  :

 I really loved the atmosphere there. It was not stuffed with people
so you could just relax and lay back in one of the settees.

They also had live piano music. After some time Valentin
asked if he could also play a few things on it, so I even
got my own little anniversary concert from my honey ♥
･:*:･(*/////∇/////*)･:*:･ 

Next saturday, the 29th August he'll also play at the

Bootshaus club in cologne again. If you wanna see him live.

I guess I won't be going this time though, as I need to study
for another upcoming exam of my Japanese studies.

Berlin's street fashion is soo inspiring ♥

See you next time (^-^)v nyan ~♪

Hi there ! (^-^)v ~ ♪
I'm almost shocked at how busy I've become over the
last few months! I'm so thankful to my dear faithful readers
who still found their way back here ♥♥♥ Lots of love to you !
Currently I spent most of my time doing tons of
work for my Japanese studies at university. The little free time I
have I spend attending 2 Kimono clubs and practising my Kimono dressing
skills which is called Kitsuke • 着付け。
I also had a Kimono dressing stall at several conventions in Germany
with my university's club, last weekend we were at the Dokomi
for example. Thank's to everyone who's been to our stall ♪
It feels nice to finally blog again and I'm really willing to keep it
up and post more often as I have so many new and exiting things
considering my Japanese studies and Tokyo-fashion to share with you.
Now I have 2 updates for you:

• First, I've started working in a Japanese book store \(^-^)/
It's called "Takagi - books & more"
I really love it and I'm so happy I can work there to save up
some money for my next trip to Japan.

 Closeup of the best shoes I ever found *_*
I bought the socks in the Liz Lisa store in Kyoto.

 Thank god I finally found cute shoes that fit my size.
I'm quite tall with my 1,78 cm so of course my feet are also
not really tiny. This is a European size 41,
which is an 8 in the U.S. and 26 in Japan.

I hope you liked my outfit & thanks for visiting my blog today ♪
Have you also created a Fairy Kei outfit before ?
It's really fun !
I'll see you next time ♥ Stay tuned for more information
about the japanese instrument I'm practising now & new Kimono photos

Miss Neko in Kyoto: The Kinkaku-ji ♥ Temple of the Golden Pavilion

Hi there (^-^)v
Today I'll show you my trip to the Kinkaku-ji 金閣寺
("Temple of the Golden Pavilion") in Kyoto ♥
It's a quite famous Zen Buddhist temple.

It's one of my favourite places in Japan and is surrounded by
a stunning garden. For my other entry about Kyoto click here:
Kimono & Kiyomizu-dera

My outfit 
Dress: Liz Lisa
Necklace: Liz Lisa
Bag: Candy Sugar

Here's a map of Kyoto. I've circled the Kinkaku-ji red.
It's on the upper left:

I went to the temple together with my friend Bea ♥

We saw lots of different temples and shrines in Kyoto that day.
She wore one of her Kimono outfits:

It was an extremely hot day, that's why she took the umbrella with her.
I also always carried a black one with me to protect my skin
from the sun. We also made sure to drink enough.
I had this cute My Melody & Hello Kitty peach drink ♥
It tasted really great !

I love My Melody \(^-^)/

This was at another temple area in Kyoto :

A small waterfall *-* It felt so great being surrounded by
such beautiful nature all the time. It really calmed me a lot.

~♥~

A Shinto Shrine :

♪ Bea :

Here you could pray for beauty I think, so of course I also had
to do that :D

~♥~

When I recognized Bea was taking pictures ^o^

I absolutely love the gardens and nature which surround Japanese
temple & shrine areas ♥

The entrance to the Kinkaku-ji area :

You could see the reflection of the temple in the water surrounding it
so well ! The pond is called Kyōko-chi (鏡湖池 Mirror Pond).

There's a Phoenix ornament on top of the roof :

And of course there's also a Kinkaku-ji Hello Kitty :

In Japan every region and tourist attraction has it's own Hello Kitty version. ♥
This is one of the many cute and small things about Japan that make me
appreciate it so much.
At the Kinkaku-ji there is, like at most temples, also a place
at which you can wish for love, luck and more.

My friend Bea got an enmusubi lucky charm there for
my boyfriend Valentin and and me *-* Thanks so much again ♥
That was so sweet :3 For everyone who doesn't know, Enmusubi means 

"love knot". My boyfriend has a similar looking one in pastel blue.

I also lit a candle for our relationship ♥
We're together since 3 and a half years now and want to
spend our future together ^^ 
The second candle from the bottom right is ours:

More photos I took from the garden area :

One time we even saw this cute turtle ♥
I think it was a Chinese soft shell trutle. It's head looked quite different to
other turtles I've seen before. I thought it looked really pretty.

~♥~

On our way back :

There were also lots of shops with typical souveniers from Kyoto :

Usagi ♥ I've got one of these as a pink cat.

And we saw these cool umbrellas. They get sweet patterns
when they're hit by rain.

They would be a good reason for me to like rain a bit more.
Sadly I couldn't take one of these home with me, they were too big.

Geisha (Maiko) doll :

~♥~

~♥~

Look at how tall these trees are ! It felt really enchanting when I stood there.

~♥~

I hope I'm not too obsessed but I can't state enough
how much I like Japanese nature. I even took lots of pictures of the
ground which was covered by moss. (I'll spare you this time and
won't show you my floor photos ;D ). But to me it was
really interesting that even the ground looked so very different than
it does in German forests/gardens.

That's it for today ♥
I hope you enjoyed reading, feel free to ask me any question
you might have now.
See you next time (^-^)v nyan ~♪
