Down in this part of town

Looking through scans of Japanese street style magazines like FRUITS and blogs like Tokyo Drop have become part of my reading hobby now. The people are more adventurous, loose, and experimental with their outfits. Think lots of layers and of course, shoes. And the preferred choice for shoes is platform shoe/boots in a multitude of colors and styles.

I've come to become completely obsessed with these shoes like worn above and shown below in a collage I made. After hours of Googeling, it was found that these shoes come from a small Japanese label, Belly Button from the store called Tokyo Bopper. The silhouette the shoe makes is quite astonishing.


This almost makes me want to become more funky and adventurous when it comes to creating outfits.
