GINZA SIX EDITORS Vol.74

Recent shopping spots are mostly GINZA SIX. From lifestyle, fashion and beauty to books, cameras, and rooftop gardens, the whole is carefully editated, so walking GINZA SIX has the pleasure of reading a magazine as if you were reading a magazine. For me, a place where I can meet other than my favorite world and a place where I can expand my world. From such a situation, I would like to introduce three recommended Shops, which is frequently checked, is introduced.

The most recent shopping is “kashwére” on the 4th floor. There are several types of blankets with different sizes and thicknesses in cashware blankets, but I'm a thicker class. I want to live in a blanket both in summer and winter, so I have two thick woven blankets, but recently I have one new one. The color is silver blue damask pattern.

Why are you still in the store? If you thought, this was Kashbea (9,500 yen * All prices excluding tax) according to the birth year. This year-only cachebea will make you happy as a gift. If you have any problems with baby gifts in the future, I will go to Kashware. I wish I could buy it if there was 1986.

The white boyfriend cardigan (23,000 yen), which can be used not only for rooms but also for outings, feels great on the cash and wear. I've got a lot of hope for this. Also, a very cute fitting room is a must-see.

Next time is cosmetics. The popular B1F "JILL STUART Beauty ＆ Party), which has many popular items, will mark the name when you purchase a special lip (2,800 yen) at GINZA SIX. We had you touch up immediately.

The name of the lip case is available in two colors. The lip balm type is pink color, and the normal lip color is silver type. You can choose from two colors of engraving. It will also be appreciated as a gift for your friends. Both colors are cute, so I was worried about 30 minutes.

There are a lot of boxes and ribbons that are perfect for gifts. A cute world view just by looking at it. It is a girly space like JILLSTUART.

The purchase this time was Zilstuart Lip Brossam Belvet 06. It's mature, but it's a calm red brown color. A cute design that is perfect for carrying around, and a small mirror is attached to the top of the lipstick, making it easy to make up.

Finally, we introduce sweets. B2F's "PALETAS (PALETAS select your favorites from the gelato type, which is lined up in showcases, and the sherbet type, a lot of ice cream.

I chose strawberry milk (463 yen). The size is just right and the gelato type is refreshing, so you can enjoy break time at any time without worrying about the time of rice. Fresh strawberry fruit feeling is irritating.

I'm worried about the taste and other flavors. The cup will be handed together to make it easy to carry around, so you can easily move while enjoying the ice cream. We moved to the eat-in space in the store and enjoyed it.

Finally, I took a walk in the rooftop garden and went home. The garden is designed so that you can feel the spring, summer, autumn and winter, so the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in spring. I'm looking forward to it!

Lately I’ve shopped almost exclusively at GINZA SIX. Everything here is carefully considered and planned out—from lifestyle, fashion, and beauty to books, cameras, and the rooftop garden. Wandering around GINZA SIX is delightful; it’s like flipping through the pages of a magazine. For me, it’s a place for encountering things outside the sphere of what I typically like, a place I can go to expand my horizons. Today, I’ll introduce you to three stores I go to often and can recommend.

One store I’ve stopped by recently is kashwére on the fourth floor. The store offers blankets in various sizes and weights. I especially love the thick ones. Whether summer or winter, I want to be wrapped up in a blanket. I already have two of their thick woven-pattern blankets, but I recently bought another one with a silver-blue damask pattern.

I’ve wondered why they still have this 2018 bear in the store. It turns out the years on the Kashbears (9,500 yen; all prices listed before tax) are birth years. There’s a unique Kashbear for each year, so they make special gifts. Next time I need a gift for a newborn, I’m going to kashwére. Now, if they only had one for 1986, my birth year…

Suitable for wear both out and about and at home, this white Boyfriend Cardigan (23,000 yen) is perfectly comfortable and has that great kashwére feel against your skin. I find myself craving this now. There’s also a spectacularly adorable fitting room that’s a must-see.

Next is cosmetics. I’m at JILL STUART Beauty & Party on the first belowground floor, which as always is full of popular items. Buy the lipstick (2,800 yen) at GINZA SIX, and you can get your name inscribed on the case. I unhesitatingly have a store clerk apply one color on my lips.

The lipstick cases you can get with your name inscribed come in two colors: The case is pink for the lip balm and silver for the regular lip color. You can also choose one of two colors for the inscription. This would make a great present for a friend, I think. I find both colors appealing and take around 30 minutes to choose.

The boutique also offers a variety of boxes and ribbons that are ideal for gifts. It’s a world of adorable, appealing items. Just looking around inspires fits of rapture! I’m smitten by this girly quintessentially JILL STUART space.

Today I purchase the JILL STUART Lip Blossom Velvet 06. It has a cool, sophisticated feel. At the same time, the warm reddish-brown tone convinces me I could wear it daily. The decorative design of the case makes it ideal for a lipstick you’ll carry with you on your outing. The upper portion of the case features a small mirror, also a wonderful feature for fixing your makeup at any time.

Finally, dessert! PALETAS on the second belowground floor features a showcase lined with a broad and inviting selection of gelato and sherbet. Choose one from among the many arrayed before you.

I choose the Strawberry Milk (463 yen). The size is just right, and gelato is so light and refreshing that it’s a perfect treat for break time—or for any time, even before a meal. The fresh strawberries were wonderfully fruity.

I find it so delicious I begin wondering about the other flavors. The gelato-on-a-stick comes in a cup, perfect for enjoyment at one’s leisure as one strolls about. Today, I wander over to the store’s eat-in space in the shop and enjoy my delicious treat there.

Lastly, before going home, I take a stroll in the rooftop garden. It’s designed for the appreciation of the seasons, whether spring, summer, fall or winter. The cherry trees will be in full bloom this spring. I can’t wait!
