Japanese Street Style Roundup

So, Style Arena just released their 'Best of 2008' (part one) and here are my favourite two pics: The first one is the japanese Ish and the second is the japanese Vero! I like the kate-hudson-circa-almost-famous hair of the first girl and her ultra-boss leather jacket. I also like it because it's not overly boho, which Style Arena seems to like a lot. The second one, I love because, duh, the calf-high-tri-tone wool socks. I'm not sold on the hat however and I don't know how I feel about the cropped jacket...props for wearing the necklace under the jacket collar like that though.



This next outfit comes from The Tokyo Modernistas. I like it, because it's so much more than a lolita-esque sailor/school girl outfit. It has a high fashion edge to it that perhaps is the combination of the taupe and the way it is layered here.






(VERO: I JUST WANTED TO ADD HOW MUCH I LOVE THE JAPANESE ME..CUTE!!)
