It could be the lighting, I'm loving the colour in and of itself, but it's not a good match imo... I feel it makes Alex look very pasty. It's too similar to her actual skin tone, should have had a bit more "pop". But maybe it's just starting to wash out? Because a hairdresser should have been able to get a good match. I'm somewhat pale myself and I've had dusty pink hair and currently have silver hair, you definitely need to find the right shade.
My husband found me watching this video and just said “next time we go to Japan, you should go with an empty suitcase and just get a new wardrobe at these stores”. So now I feel like kissing your hands and thanking you forever. It came out of him without me needing to ask for anything. I am still waiting for your wedding dress haul! I am obsessed with wedding dresses and we are civilly married but we are having our church wedding in September. I need that video as soon as possible😢
The pompompurin “smock dress” actually is an apron. The daycare workers here wear them at work over their clothes which is why you can find lots of cute patterns. I use one while I do chores in my house. Mine is Winnie the Pooh. It was quite shocking to see you wear it as a dress, though very creative. If you did it here it would be quite sexy lol.
Just letting you know there is a TH-cam channel called for all women’s and they have uploaded some of your videos to their account. I’m not sure if you are aware of this or ok with it.
My dream was to go to Japan ever since I started watching her videos... this year, I will finally make it possible. But she's not here anymore for me to thank her for giving me such a beautiful dream. Now I'm coming back here, to take her kind advice for when I go to Japan, in a month... and it just makes me cry...
@@meh3722 Kinda? But maybe just showing some places that you can lolita at (like some second hand shops) I'd kinda be more interested in one that was more focused on lolita, like ya the video you're referring to is about lolita, but it wasn't really focused on her first time in lolita/where to get lolita like I'd hoped, but no matter what she might do if she were to make a lolita video that'd be really cool (there's some great lolita channels that would definitely be cool to help on a video like that with her)
Omg guess I’m not the only one who thought she could really rock that style! YAAASSS!!! Ok someone find some Lolita’s in Japan to collab with her stat!
That pompompurin “dress” is actually an apron (like you said you would wear it). In japan, nursery and kindergarten teachers wear this☺️. Did they have many aprons like that there?
@Jessica Somerville if you don't like the way she dresses then why are you watching her videos? There's no reason you have to leave a nasty comment like this, you can simply click off the video, and she can dress however she wants, fashion is creative and subjective not everyone is going to like it.
"There's a lot of people who don't like my fringe now-" WHAT? Alex's new hairstyle looks stunning on her and she should wear it however she likes! It's her hair, not yours. :)
WHO THE HELL TOLD HER THAT HER BANGS AREN’T THE CUTEST THINGS EVER and let’s talk. It’s only a talk. Promise, just....a talk. Whoever told her that her bangs aren’t absolutely adorable, let’s talk buuuuuuuuddy...
I'm going to Japan & staying at Koenji in April! Can't wait to drop by this store and check out some of their items, thanks for the recommendation Alex!! 🥰
@Deborah Shaw I'm from Singapore, been keeping a look out on the health advisories and hopefully my long planned trip won't be too badly affected! Thank you for the advice & concern! xx
•Ellie• as birds, our flight technology should really be studied by science. Leonardo Da Vinci tried but sadly there’s still a lot to know... I for one would like to know why I’m such a klutz! 😂🙈 But I’m a smooth talker so I still got famous anyway. My sister is a Ballerina Cockatoo, & much more graceful than I could ever be. Come by & check out our bird vids.
Hi Alex! Been sorely missing you and your vids, you and Archie make my day. You say the pink jacket has 2 belts, isn’t that one of them is for around the neckline as a bow thingy?
The $10 pink jumper styled with those black ripped jeans was so nice! I would recommend wearing it like that rather than with a pastel skirt, pink and black are my favourite colours and they contrast so nicely together
I was told to tell you that my 3 year old daughter, Lily, loves Archie. She keeps going on about how she thinks he’s adorable and she laughs every time he says “Peek-a-boo”
I love how you're so excited about the pastel thrift store and you're wearing black and dark jeans x'D Black does look great on you though! Honestly, I NEEEEED to visit this store one day!
I have missed your videos SO MUCH! Your positivity, Archie, your cute Lil pastel ways. I thought maybe you were on vacation, and if so YAY I hope you enjoy it to the fullest.
I noticed some pilling on the the purple sweater with daisies. You could take a regular razor (like the leg shaving kind) and straight up shave the pills off haha. Also your nails are so cute!! ..
I'm going there in a week and I'm FREAKING OUT because before I can go to Koenji I'll stay 7 days in Kyoto but I wanna spend all my money in that thrift store omg ALEX WHY U DO THIS TO MEEEE
Those puffy stretchy tops, the one you called a tissue lol, were so popular when I was about 10-12(I'm 30 now) and I'm so happy to see them again!!! I loved the texture the rouching gave the shirts!! They're really cute with a mini skirt or shorts too~
kiki2 is my favourite thrift shop in koenji and one of my favourite stores in japan, I don’t usually see people talking abt it online so I’m really glad you made this video!!
Omg, my dream has always been to go to japan, seeing these clothes just makes me wanna go even more and go thrift store shopping! .... but im too scared about the big language barrier :'( If only i knew someone who understands japanese T-T
New subscriber here. My great grandmother was from Northam Australia. My great grandfather brought her back to the United States, he met her when he was stationed over in Australia during WW2. He was in the navy. Your Accent, brought back great memories of my Nan. She passed away when I was 15, I'm now 31. My great grandfather is still alive and well. My daughter is his first great great grandchild. 😍 My Nan never lost her Australian accent.
That place looked amazing!!!! And it had a lot of nostalgic pieces! I loved that pink turtleneck you got with the embroidered design on the front, and the purple dress with the moons and stars on it. Adorable finds! I love thrifting so much.
I'm so in love with this omg. The only thing is I already look like I'm 12 so if I dressed like this people will think I'm a child. I'm so going here when I go to Japan in a couple of months!
That purple "tissue shirt" is called a Popcorn Top and while that floral design is unique for it i used to see those tops for a dollar at rite aid in the states and i was astonished to see them cost 5 bucks. Likely cause of the design but still (also shame on dollskill)
I am a size 16 AUS and i went to japan last year, I obviously was not able to fit everything but i did manage to find some cute clothes!! There is hope!
I like vintage clothing, so it’s really hard to find clothes I like that will fit me. And I don’t have a sewing machine, so I can’t make my clothes. It sucks rip
I cannot be the only one who forgot she dyed her hair and got surprised when I saw her. love it though Alex
I didnt even know she dyed her hair 😂
She did it for charity to help raise $ for the bushfire efforts. ❤️✊🏾 Amazing!
me every morning lol

A very nice husband.

This is what I came here to say! I love the daycare worker aprons, they're always so super cute
Alex as your teacher and Archie as the class pet. So cute
That? *that* would be sexy? Hahaha
sarasthoughts For Japan it would be.
Just letting you know there is a TH-cam channel called for all women’s and they have uploaded some of your videos to their account. I’m not sure if you are aware of this or ok with it.

“Keep an eye out for the jewelry. There’s some interesting pieces there.”
Fuzzy handcuffs 👀
Duuude I saw that wth I live for it
Omg😅 I came here to say the same thing!
I think it would be really cool if you tried styling yourself like a Japanese Lolita model. I think it really fits your style.
Like a sweet Lolita video?
That seems like a good idea for a video, but she'd probably need some help with it
pretty sure she did awhile ago.... can't remember when though
@@kterhune100 She's had some lolita items in her hauls, but not one focused on lolita fashion
@@meh3722 Kinda? But maybe just showing some places that you can lolita at (like some second hand shops)

Did they have many aprons like that there?
Housewives also wear aprons.
I just got one in Brighton!
I didn't see any others, but I wasn't looking for them! I'm sure they would have them though!
Omg that whole store is literally all my aesthetics merged into one 80's disco pastel punk madness. I think I'm in love brb moving to Japan 😭😩
Jacqueline Vegova wanna split rent? I’m packing my bags right nwo
@@thatsnotmyname8212 can i come?
Eden Rosenberg the more the merrier! Lol
I completely forgot that you had pink hair and was so startled when the video loaded 😂
Those moon shorts in the $5 bin 😭😭😭😭 I need them.
I immediately clicked off the video to go find similar ones somewhere but no luck 😭
@@anikab881 SAME. Milklim went out of business, and anything of theirs online is so expensive. Those shorts were an absolute steal
@Larry27 yeah I literally gasped when she pulled them out of that pile 😄🙌
Same! Oof! That moon dress was nice too!
omg that moon dress was amazing @.@
My parrot, Picasso, floofed at the exact same time that Archie floofed. It was cute!
Imagine having that as your closet 😔
You dont want a closet full of cheap clothes that was made in poor conditions with chamicals.
bad bad chamicals
id be the happiest person alive
@@blxpy6 ....oh

That purple and black starry/moon dress is everything
Love you and Archie ❤️ i think you should dye your hair a darker dusty pink, like a mauve! your fair skin tone would look so good with it
That would be ethereal, like a nymph, so pretty!
Wish I had good thrifts stores around me also can we take a minute for the Tiffany and co shoes

Never been this early in my life. But omg how perfect, going to Japan in May, will definitely have to check this place out!
be careful of the virus!! (just in case it's still there by then cause you never know...)
Me too! I saw this video and squealed, I HAVE to go aha
@@ZhiyingFlora Yeah thanks, been watching it closely. I worked in a medical field so I'll be sure to exercise every precaution.
Omgggggg that purple dress with the moons on it is amazing! Do you know the brand?
ShishkaBerry i know!! id pay good money for that
I absolutely need to know too!
I like it too, want it so bad *-*
I came into the comments specifically for that dress. I hope someone finds out.
@@xxminaxbabyxx I'm going to screenshot and and try Google reverse image search today, if that doesn't work I'm taking it to reddit! 😅
"Some people are commenting they don't like my fringe" .... Excuse me!!!! She looks A👏DOR👏A👏BLE👏 with her bangs.
I’m doing my technology project on Archie 😂❤️❤️ we have to base it on something that flies 💖💖💖

Wow your hair looks so healthy and pretty 😍
Hi Alex! Been sorely missing you and your vids, you and Archie make my day. You say the pink jacket has 2 belts, isn’t that one of them is for around the neckline as a bow thingy?
That Pompom Purin dress is DEFINITELY an apron haha! Very cute haul! I'm so excited for more Pretty Pastel Content!
I wish there was a alternative style version of this for all the black-lovers.
Omg yes 😭 I 💯 agree.
there is! the name escapes me right now but i think theyre new york or chicago based??
The $10 pink jumper styled with those black ripped jeans was so nice! I would recommend wearing it like that rather than with a pastel skirt, pink and black are my favourite colours and they contrast so nicely together

Honestly, I NEEEEED to visit this store one day!
We have very different style, but everything you got is so cute! But I'm in love with your T-shirt you put on to film. ❤
That purple constellation dress is to die for! Such a short and sweet video.
Maybe try and attach the cherry clip to a ponytail in some manner. I feel like that would be the cutest and least awkward way to style it. (?)
OML I MISSED YOU, ARCHIE AND YOUR VIDEOS💕 Great way to start, a japan vlog/haul😌
Archie, I've missed you!
This store lives in my head rent free
I'd love to see your hair a little more pink 😁
I have missed your videos SO MUCH! Your positivity, Archie, your cute Lil pastel ways. I thought maybe you were on vacation, and if so YAY I hope you enjoy it to the fullest.
"Scentsy"; even in a Japanese thrift shop you can find pyramid schemes. Or as the ones who fall for them "MLM because pyramid schemes are illegal"
I saw the shirt and was just like "NNNOOOO!!!!" praying she wouldn't buy it XD
@@anani2751 me too! Lol
Wait what?
okay but Archie was so calm and sweet during the intro, i love him.
The music in all of her video's is so typical haha it's always the same tracks I think, which is amazing, gives the channel character
That purple daisy cardigan was so cute by itself but when you added the plaid skirt I was floored. So cute!!
I noticed some pilling on the the purple sweater with daisies. You could take a regular razor (like the leg shaving kind) and straight up shave the pills off haha. Also your nails are so cute!! ..
OMG I spotted those Barbie rollerblades immediately at 06:59! I had those when I was a child and I loved them so much! 😂 Nostalgic! 😄
The PomPompurin dress is ACTUALLY an apron, but it's super cute so I guess you could wear it however you wanted though x
Thrift shopping in Japan is definitely a bucketlist....I wanna go so bad!
Did you.... wear the Keyleth shirt because her nickname is Kiki? And the store was Kiki 2? We love a super subtle reference joke
The purple dress with the moons and stars is my favourite. They all look absolutely beautiful on you!
I'm going there in a week and I'm FREAKING OUT because before I can go to Koenji I'll stay 7 days in Kyoto but I wanna spend all my money in that thrift store omg ALEX WHY U DO THIS TO MEEEE

At the 9:53 mark, is that a SCENTYS LADY T-shirt???
Has my Facebook nightmare followed me on to youtube??
😱😱😱😱
The algorithm is following you
I swear I got that ASMR feeling while watching the little tour.
I miss you Alex and our bird friend. Also I enjoyed the video.
the moon dress is just PERFECT
The pink hair has changed your aesthetic to black Jean's and a green T and I LOVE IT😍
Omg Archie perched on top of your super pastel pink head has to be one of THE cutest things ever!! 😍 Glad to see you back in pastel action! 😁💖
That smockdress is absolutely adorable!!!
I love the purple cardigan with the purple an blue plaid dress. So cute together
Even if you don't think the fringe suits you, having them swept to the side looks good too! Kinda breaks up the length of your hair.
The fringe is my favorite part!
kiki2 is my favourite thrift shop in koenji and one of my favourite stores in japan, I don’t usually see people talking abt it online so I’m really glad you made this video!!
Sad that she didn’t start the video with “Hey it’s me Alex! And everyone’s favorite bird ARCHIE”
That purple dress with the moons, omg, I die, that dress is so cute
Even if the first “dress” is an apron I’d throw a shirt on under it and wear it as a dress!!
Omgosh that purple dress with moons and the Star constellations was my favorite!!
Love that Keyfish shirt!
I need more thrift shopping from you!! I’m obsessed
Omg, my dream has always been to go to japan, seeing these clothes just makes me wanna go even more and go thrift store shopping! .... but im too scared about the big language barrier :'( If only i knew someone who understands japanese T-T
I had those Barbie Roller Skates! They were my first pair of big girl skates. I loved them.
rip alex😭😭🙏🙏

I can’t get over how much I adore this hair color on you. It’s so beautiful on you 💗
I love your glasses so much! Can I ask where they're from?
That place looked amazing!!!! And it had a lot of nostalgic pieces! I loved that pink turtleneck you got with the embroidered design on the front, and the purple dress with the moons and stars on it. Adorable finds! I love thrifting so much.
Hey your critter too? The keyfish shirt is one of my faves but I recommend the mollymauk shirt
I love the whole thing, The cut and the colour! And the glasses.
I got so worried. I thought you stopped uploading in regards to the virus on going.
All this stuff is like SOOO pretty!!! I definitely will go to this thrift store, when I am in Japan one time♡♡♡
I'm so in love with this omg. The only thing is I already look like I'm 12 so if I dressed like this people will think I'm a child. I'm so going here when I go to Japan in a couple of months!
Japanese Chins in a basket! How can you go wrong!?! 🧡
I lone the shirt you’re wearing in this video the fish with antlers is so cool I wanted to see the whole design where did you get it
Minwell it’s a nickname Be grateful
It’s a Critical Role Keyfish shirt, they’re not currently in stock though
So many cool finds! That purple dress with the black ribbon and crescent moons is literally my dream dress omigosh, you look so cute!
I miss your orange hair soo
Tooooo
Like this hairstyle with her old hair color would be so pretty
Your fringe and your hair and everything looks so pretty and PERFECT! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS PLEASE KEEP MAKING THEM!
White vinegar and peroxide gets soy sauce out of clothes!
Your hair really is super cute! If you're happy with your fringe you go rock that fringe! 💖
I seem to be the only one that misses the red hair.
Nah, I don't like the pale pink either.
Personally, I feel like it washes her out
No your not 😉
The teal/ blue dress is the perfect color for your skin tone.
Such a cool shop! I love the items you got! Also, thank you for the Audible free trial :D I've just created an account and used your code!
actually obsessed with your hair cut especially the fringe
That purple "tissue shirt" is called a Popcorn Top and while that floral design is unique for it i used to see those tops for a dollar at rite aid in the states and i was astonished to see them cost 5 bucks. Likely cause of the design but still (also shame on dollskill)
the purple dress with stars and moons is sooooo cute! i'm obsessed
Ксения Старцева n for $10!! wow 🤩
The new hair color makes you look 10 year's older
Oky_ 890 I think it makes her look wayyyy younger
Really loving the recording set-up you have while showing off the clothes :3
The lighting and flowers give off such a bubbly and pretty vibe.
I wish I was skinny enough to wear those cute clothes if I ever go there I know I won’t fit in any thing
😭 same.
I am a size 16 AUS and i went to japan last year, I obviously was not able to fit everything but i did manage to find some cute clothes!! There is hope!
GoldenTiger456 I’m a size 15 pants and a xl in tops because I’m really busty I’m no where near Asian sizes and I’m 5’ 7 idk if there’s hope for me
I like vintage clothing, so it’s really hard to find clothes I like that will fit me. And I don’t have a sewing machine, so I can’t make my clothes. It sucks rip
Archieeeeee 💚💚💚💚💚 we missed you Archie!
that hair color matches your skin tone to much needs to be a darker pink
That's exactly what I was thinking, it looks odd on her
I’m obsessed with the purple dress with the moons
Alex wtf stop what's that "people don't like my fringe bs" tell them to not look don't change yourself to like them
The pink sweater...the detail is amazing. ....love it.
