GINZA SIX EDITORS Vol.74

Recent shopping spots are GINZA SIX exclusively. There is pleasure that seems to be reading one magazine at all when the whole walks GINZA SIX in being done editorial minutely from lifestyle, fashion, beauty to book, camera, rooftop garden. Place where place with favorite encounter with other than world only for oneself, own world are opened for me. We introduce three recommended Shops checking frequently from such inside.

Being latest, and having just done shopping "kashwére" (KASHWHERE) of 4F. There are several kinds of blankets with different size and thickness to blanket of KASHWHERE, but group exclusively thick as for me. As we were wrapped up in blanket even in winter and wanted to live, we had two pieces of blankets of thick texture print type, but had one piece made newly again recently even in the summer. Color is damask print of silver-blue.

Why will there be still bear of 2018 in store? What this was kashubea (price as follows tax-excluded 9,500 yen ※ all) to birth age when we thought of this. As it is year-limited kashubea, it seems to be pleased as present. We will decide to go to KASHWHERE in future if in trouble to babies' gift. We want to buy for oneself if there are any 1986.

Boyfriend cardigan (23,000 yen) of white to be usable as not only room but also Sunday clothes is excellent at comfort by feel that is the KASHWHERE. I came to considerably want this. In addition, very cute fitting room is must-see.

Next is cosmetic. It is "JILL STUART Beauty ＆ Party" (JILLSTUART beauty and party) of B1F with many popular items, but seems to perform carved seal of the name when we purchase lip (2,800 yen) in particular in GINZA SIX. We had you do tag up promptly.

Two colors of lip cases classified the name into are development and, as for pink KOLOR, common lip KOLOR, are typed silver when it is lip balm type. KOLOR of carved seal is available from two colors, too. It seems to be pleased as present of friend. As both colors were cute, we have been troubled for around 30 minutes.

It keeps a lot of box and ribbon which are good to gift. Pretty view of the world to be just looking, and to be happy and excited. We are enchanted by girly space like JILLSTUART.

It is JILLSTUART lip Blossom velvet 06 that purchased this time. It is calm red brown pro-KOLOR that seems to be easy to usually have errand though it is adult-like. Point that we are glad of place that is easy to do make fixing as small mirror is on after good pretty design in the upper part of lipstick to carry.

Finally, we introduce sweets. We can select own favorite from much ice of gelato type that lined to showcase and sherbet type in "PALETAS" (PALETAS) of B2F.

What I chose strawberry milk (463 yen). We can enjoy break time anytime without minding time for meal as a feeling of size is refreshed by gelato type just right. A feeling of fruit of fresh strawberry is unbearable.

In excessive taste, we are worried about other taste, too. We carry, and cup can move casually to be easy as he/she hands together while enjoying ice. We moved to eat-in space in shop and had deliciously.

Finally we strolled in rooftop garden and returned. As it is garden which was made so that the four season is felt, cherry blossoms seem to become in full bloom in spring. I'm excited!

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!
