Harajuku Girls spotted at McGill, Western, Queens and York??

You know how on Sunday you may dress a little bit differently? Maybe instead of skinny jeans, pumps and gold chains you opt for yoga pants and flip flops? Well in Tokyo, around Harajuku Station on the Yamanote subway line, Sunday attire is reserved for doll-like costumes that demand attention. What was once a cult street fashion scene is now internationally awed and admired – and the source of much design innovation. The phenomenon grew momentum through street style fashion blogs and travel guides, but Gwen Stefani is the one responsible for really elevating this fantasy-like fashion into an international media frenzy. There is nothing we love more than dressing in costume-but these looks may be a bit over the top for, lets say Stauffer’s Library at Queens, or McGill’s lower field. That said, you can channel the creativity and fun of Harajuku girls’ style through the Stefani inspired perfume collection – Harajuku Lovers! G, Music, Love, Lil’ Angel and Baby – who do you feel like being today? Boasting different personalities and fragrances, this collection is a lot of fun to play with. Even on a blah day, bring a touch of Harajuku innovative style by spritzing on one of the five Harajuku Lovers fragrances. Hey – if you do feel like going all out and being outrageous, we back you up. Why not dress like Strawberry Shortcake or goth Pippi Longstocking? Who dictates campus style anyway! If you do – be sure to snap a pic and send it our way, we will definitely show off your imaginative outfits and congratulate your efforts. But for days when that seems somewhat daunting – eeny, meeny, miny, mo a little Harajuku doll.

P.s We also think Harajuku Lovers are pretty cute for dorm room décor! Yawn…we are so over Anne Geddes.
