SCHOOL UNIFORMS from JAPAN

Hello Drastic Plastic readers, Barbara here! How have you been, how are you dealing with the beginning of the cold season?

I came back from Japan just a couple of days ago, where I went to exhibit my works at Design Festa. Now I am here, fresh of jet leg (12 hours by flight and 8 hours time difference are not joke!), typing for you about Japanese School uniforms. In Italy, where I live and grew up, when going to school we wear everyday clothes so I often dreamt of the cute, fashionable uniforms and bento boxes that where introduced in the Japanese animation shows of my childhood. Wikipedia got a quite resourceful page about the Japanese School Uniform if you are curious to read about it. I also found a couple of  interesting articles on They Didn't! and Danny Choo.

As for me, I took the liberty to share a couple of shoots of students I run into when I was wondering around Tokyo.

Happy November!

GO SHOPPING

Online shopping is like Heaven for me, especially this time of the year, when winter is almost here and Christmas is around the corner; this is why Udobuy is perfect for your (and mine) early shopping experience. On Udobuy you can find anything when it comes to dresses with lace details, feminine and elegant, cozy and comfy sweaters and perfect winters coats, with big furry collars and lovely colors. And, if you are like me, I’m always searching for that right “something” - no matter what kind of item we are talking about - you will be very pleased with this online shop.

One of my favourites is the shoes selection. Even if you are a fan of flat shoes, you are into heels or if boots make you smile, I guarantee that you will find your dream shoes at Udobuy, I know I did and I really hope that some of these boots will join my lovely collection that is growing almost every month.

This vest is my favorite pick, the color is really soft and you can combine it with almost anything.

A girl can never have too many sweaters, that is why these two are on my Christmas wish list.

Studs and boots – two of my favorite elements in one item, you know that makes me happy!

The green coat is perfect for Christmas Eve and that black backpack will complete any look.
