Tokyo Disney’s creative production team for merchandising must be insane. I don’t know how they can churn out new merchandise for every season every year! It’s both glorious and horrifying for my mental state & wallet. It ignites my materialistic urges like no other. I go into Crazy Shopper Stephiee mode. You cannot hold me back when it comes to ( Read more... )

Thank you Tokyo Disney for a horribly titled show. And Part II nonetheless. It doesn’t roll off the tongue smoothly when I say it. Maybe it’s just me. I have bouts of fob every once in a while.

BOO!! It’s a beautiful chilly Halloween day! I hope everyone caused some good ruckus this weekend galavanting around in awesome costumes while partaking in spooky activities!

My room has been in a constant state of distress ever since I came back from Japan. There was simply no room for me to accomodate my 200lbs of goodies. It was left like this for a good three weeks until I finally had time to go into a ULTIMATE REORGANIZATION MISSION.

This day was designated as “Shopping Day” in Shibuya + Harajuku. We went to a 90-minute dessert buffet called Sweets Paradise to gain energy for the intense shopping that was to be done. We split up after Shibuya 109 and met at the hostel for a Show & Tell at night. Then a quick run to SEVERAL fast food joints for a late night feast.
