DS1 who is living and working in Tokyo often calls us while walking home in the evening. A few days ago he was walking near the stadium and remarked how many interesting food places and bars had sprung up in that area that he had not seen before. He said that everyone looked like they were having a good time.

Jane on "Japan" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/japan#post-2065447 Tue, 01 Oct 2019 06:12:31 +0000 Jane 2065447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all so much. Thank you Sal! Thank you Rachylou! I feel so lucky Cardiffgirl! But I’m secretly more excited about being in Tokyo than going to the rugby (eek!) Thank you ChrisM, it is the thought and care that goes into every single little thing that really appeals to me. Thank you RunCarla, the yellow puffy was a wild card purchase from Massimo Dutti some time ago; I’ve not worn it much but it’s been really useful to have. Thank you Janet! Thank you Shevia! I’m not a big fan of a muddy yellow but the lighter brighter seems okay. Thank you Opaline! I am hoping that I feel differently about the skirt when I have chance to wear it. Thank you Jenni! Rugby is a big thing at home, DS and DH are both super keen and really are desperate now to play on the same team in a match. Bijou, thank you. I’m so looking forward to the shopping! Good point on the coat and umbrella. I’m so excited about the stationery in particular - there is a shop called Loft that I am looking forward to seeing. Thank you Brooklyn! Thank you RobinF Thank you Suz, yes quite pattern rich. I’m going to pattern mix too with ease I think. Angie, I know, food mind blow is right! Thank you, I appreciate the reassurance. I’m looking forward to being part of Tokyo for just a little bit of time! Thank you Karen! Absolutely I will save room for purchases! Thank you Nancy! I might put a pair of gloves in just in case - I have some wrist warmers which will be perfect. Thank you Anchie! Lovely to have something to look forward to and plan. Thank you Katerina! Katerina on "Japan" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/japan#post-2065279 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 20:15:40 +0000 Katerina 2065279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is a super fab travel capsule. Love the palette and the patterns. Cohesive, interesting and fun. You will look gorgeous. Have a wonderful time! anchie on "Japan" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/japan#post-2065239 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 18:13:58 +0000 anchie 2065239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So exciting! Love your cohesive capsule, and especially those yellow items. My kids are so into all things Japan and I promised to take them there next year, it should be graduation present for my son.

I had leather gloves because I find that if my hands are warm I feel better all over. I agree with Bijou that an umbrella would make a terrific souvenir and so easy to find. I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy every single floor of at least one department store. Have fun! </div> karen13 on "Japan" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/japan#post-2065194 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 15:07:28 +0000 karen13 2065194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So fun! I went to Tokyo in June 2018 and it was amazing! Dying yo go back in cooler weather, as I am a big walke4 the the heat and humidity then was challenging. We went to a baseball game and it was so interesting to see the cultural differences. your elegant style will fit in beautifully. Save room for purchases! btw love the flip book - I must have missed it and I’m off to copy! Angie on "Japan" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/japan#post-2065179 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 14:44:01 +0000 Angie 2065179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I LOVE Japan. How exciting. Food mind blow :) People are very chic in Japan. High style quotient from classic to very fashion forward. But always modest. Your dressy, ultra fab, fun and polished style will fit right in, Jane. Nice patterned capsule!  Suz on "Japan" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/japan#post-2065166 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 14:08:11 +0000 Suz 2065166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Amazing, Jane!

Enjoy Japan! I love the idea of a flip book, I'll have to check that out. Brooklyn on "Japan" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/japan#post-2065136 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 09:39:26 +0000 Brooklyn 2065136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your capsule looks good. Have a great time! Go the Wallabies!!! Bijou on "Japan" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/japan#post-2065130 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 08:59:21 +0000 Bijou 2065130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A beautiful capsule. I think at this time of year you should be OK without a coat since you have that wonderful puffer vest. Personally I would take one, but I feel the cold and am not used to cold weather at all.... Of course the shopping in Tokyo is amazing, so if you need a winter coat, saving space to buy one is a very good strategy! Similarly with umbrellas - I think you will need an umbrella in Japan, but I never take one as they have the most beautiful (and affordable) umbrellas in Japan and so I buy one there and bring it back as a souvenir. Jenni NZ on "Japan" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/japan#post-2065112 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 04:45:45 +0000 Jenni NZ 2065112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh well I hope he at least sees our All Blacks play! How exciting for you both. We are not huge rugby fans ( for Kiwis- as it is our most important sport I suppose-our girls danced and our boy played soccer instead) but we do get a bit excited about the World Cup. I am sorry to the Canadians on the forum but just heard some not so flattering things about Canada’s rugby team on the radio- who are playing us next. But then we are not too good at ice hockey!

Jane on "Japan" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/japan#post-2065046 Sun, 29 Sep 2019 19:07:46 +0000 Jane 2065046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ We are so fortunate as DH and I are going to Japan for the Rugby World Cup; DH is a massive Rugby fan, me not very much at all, apart from I love DH and I love Japan, very much! I am only able to go for a few days to Tokyo but DH is going for 2 weeks.  Thank you YLF for the inspiration on a little flip book for wardrobe planning, I can't recall who suggested this, but it looks to work well. I have put together these items and will take two pairs of boots, one white and one black, and an umbrella. I may travel in a long black mohair cardigan, which isn't shown, black trousers and perhaps a button down.  The wild card is the green sparkly pleated skirt, which has been rested for a while. The new cream cardigan is from J Crew and fits perfectly under the yellow blazer, and also with the puffy yellow gilet. I am going to try and do carry on luggage both ways, with a few items may be in DH bag.  So, 5 toppers, 5 tops, 5 bottoms in total; I might add in a couple more tops to allow for spills! I am so excited to see Tokyo; we went a few years ago for a friends wedding, and we were utterly thrilled by it. All suggestions welcome. I was going to take an umbrella just in case of rain, but not a coat - may be that is a mistake.
