creamy mami x harajuku brand limited shop

Shibuya Parco had a limited shop featuring Creamy Mami items!

some japanese fashion brands (Angelic Pretty, Metamorphose, Putumayo, Galaxxxy, Shampooooo) collaborated to produce special things for this shop, plus there were other Mami goods

you can see some of the goods featured here

i was lucky enough to get a ticket for a meet & sign event for Creamy Mami's voice actress, Takako Ohta!

yay!

did you know Ohta-san is a real idol singer?

there were probably about 50 people at the event, i think most of them knew each other. i haven't been to an event like this before, it was great that everyone was friendly!

Ohta-san wore a Mami sweatshirt from Galaxxxy

first there was a talk session, then rock-paper-scissors for prizes

Ohta-san signed this art for each person, and also chatted with them a bit

Ohta-san is really cute and her skin is so beautiful. she said Mami's transformation phrase for me!

lush

i've really gotten into products from lush

while i don't buy into the "all natural" bs (a lot of their products still use synthetic ingredients/sls), they smell soo good

i got skincare gel (for oily skin) and some honey-scented lip balm

helmut lang

last year i ventured to the helmut lang press room sale and ended up with quite a haul

2 jackets, cardigan,  & 5 tops all for about the price of 1 jacket and 2 tops retail

not too bad! 

they've had a couple since then but haven't found this amount of goodness

they had much more men's items than women's, especially samples

i'm a fan of helmut lang, especially the jackets. the design aesthetic is simple/minimalist but very flattering!

helmut lang is actually owned by link theory japan (that also owns theory)
