But is it unbelievable to know that Christmas is a working day in Japan?
Let’s see how the Japanese indulge in the mood of Christmas. These are picked up from Japanese magazine Ray.

Christmas nails have become part of the Christmas dress up for lots of Japanese women.
Ray’s answer to Christmas nail art are snowman, snow crystals painted on silver and gold gradation base coat.

Red base coat, a popular color choice for Christmas, bryon in simple shape of heart and stones are added for decorations. You still have the choice of stars, laces and flowers for picks if you prefer a tone down version of Christmas nails.

Any of Ray’s simple Christmas nails caught your eyes (*^-`)v

Bryon nails, snowman, snow crystal, stars, bow painted embellished with stone

Idea of a Romantic Christmas? Christmas decorations is a must then.
What could be more romantic and relax than spending Christmas in your own home, surrounded by dimly lighted Christmas candles. Look at the candles trying to fit into the theme of Christmas. They come in houses of all sorts, snowman and even Santa Claus itself! (@.@)
Oh but… Imagine a melting Santa. That’s too sad (T-T)

And of course,what is Christmas without Christmas wreaths? Like the idea of red wreaths that enhance the mood of festive season.

And Christmas snow dome. To me they are so nostalgic and mysterious. I wouldn’t mind having one for a gift.

So what is your Christmas Wish?
Christmas scented candles, Christmas gifts

The varieties of the design was simply too much that it took me 2 weeks to finally decide one. Ok, I do admit that I am lack of decisiveness. Could be in the roots (v_v) ?

Since I am particular about design, I decided to get a hard case instead of a soft one. If you ask me if a hard case can protect a phone, my answer will be:
It should be able to protect the phone from scratches, but should not help much in shock resistance.

But I still love hard covers because there are too many wonderful designs for one to pick from.
The case shown on the left of the picture is what I had bought for my iphone.
Doesn’t it look simple, yet lovely and lady-like?
FIY, the case shown on the right of the picture belongs to a different handphone model. Cool design right?

I received a paperweight today.
Most probably, you can’t tell from these pictures, they are made of stone and are quite heavy.

Sort of love the bright color when the cover stays shut.

And when you try to open the cover….. Oh, is this supposed to be interesting?
I am truly sorry to sound sarcastic. This is supposed to be a souvenir and I should show my appreciation m(＿ ＿)m

In Japan, room boots, worn in rooms to protect against cold feet are sold during the winter. If you are wondering about the effectiveness, I would say I couldn’t do without them anymore during the winter. Not only are the designs lovely and fashionable, the inner is made of boa and that’s the reason why they keep your feet warm.　Below are some room boot pickups.

Besides fashion, the shop has a wide variety of accessories, interior and antiques goods for selection. According to the lady owner, making customer feel a sense of warmth and ease is the theme that she had her shop’s interior arranged into. The shop not only deals with lots of exotic and unique goods, prices are very affordable too, so it is definitely worth a visit.

“SAKURA SELECT SHOP” signboard greets you at the main entrance of the shop.

Coordination display that never fail to show up even at the side entrance. The owner takes pain to mix and match pieces from her shop.

The exquisite coordination of the antique lights, accessories and interior goods give the interior a soothing effect.

From accessories to bag to interior and antique goods, SAKURA offers a wide variation of goods for selection.
