our weekend in asakusa

since we didn't have any major plans this weekend, we decided to play tourist. so we hopped on our bicycles, braved a little drizzle and ended up in asakusa! boy was it busy. like good tourists, we picked a souvenir for muu and had a lovely arvo wandering around the temple grounds. i love spontaneous day-trips!!



musashi prefer to be transported in his basket. spoilt..




little girls dressed up in lovely kimonos. 
love how the little one on the left has her legs popped up! :) 




the husband wanted his own satorialist moment. 



have a wonderful week ahead, sweetpeas! :)

  1. I remember visiting Asakusa! It was full of Japanese tourists and we went for a ride in those carts, pulled by a guide round the town - crazy!
    Even with all those amazing temples, my favourite part was this little shop bursting full with waving cats..so many of them..

  5. Complete with his Vibram 5-fingers, how awesome! Hahahahaha

    Very American-dressing you! Loving the pumps - are they leopard prints? I've only just ventured into my first leopard print anything. I have so much trepidation venturing into the animal skin area!

    haha! i do that all the time! (which probably explains why the soles of my shoes are all messed up too!)

    if muu were given a choice, he would stay home, snuggled into a warm blankie all day. every day. he's a lazy bug!

  9. A pair of loafers but only the top part is leopard... It's been getting a bit of compliments so I feel a little more confident now!

    I like leopard prints on unexpected items - like on a pair of masculine loafers, boy's satchel or hem detailing on a sharp blazer... Nothing too feminine, if not I'll just look like a whore... :'(
