Shibuya 109
Shibuya 109 is probably the most popular fashion complex in Japan. Shibuya 109 building is the symbol of Shibuya district and Japanese girl’s culture. From 13 to 30, girls go there to shop new, hip and not-so-expensive clothes, shoes and et al. New fashion trend is always started from this big tube. Ko-gal, Ganguro-gal, loose socks, big platform boots, surfer fashion, B-kei fashion (hip hop flavored style), hair extension, Samantha Thavasa handbags and etc etc. Only one problem is there is no size variation. Everytime I try something on, I feel my body is too big.
Well, those are popular shops in 109 and my favorite shops list. All Japanese contents, sorry.

I love their jeans! better figure than seven or paper denim&cloth. I know 10000yen is kinda too much for one pair though. still love it.

maybe you’d like to know, ‘et’ is latin for ‘and’, so writing “and et al” is a bit redundant ^_^
