Tokyo Weekender - January 2016

the guide
ILLESTEVA SUNGLASSES
It is easy to gloss over the myriad of sunglasses trends each season but the colored lens
style is one that we are excited to get on board with. This blue mirrored pair from Illesteva
takes a contemporary approach to traditional Italian craftsmanship, a style which has
built the brand a celebrity and fashion industry following. The combination of gold-tone
metal, tortoiseshell acetate, straight brow bar and the absence of a nose bridge create
such a contemporary shape that they stand out from the crowd. They will certainly
remain current right through to the blazing sun of the summer months. illesteva.com

WOOL BEANIE
STELLA MCCARTNEY FOR
ADIDAS LEGGINGS
Feel like you need to dust off the cobwebs after
the festive period? Looking and feeling confident
in your form-fitting leggings is always the first
hurdle to tackle when building the motivation to
get active. These colorful leggings will make you
want to get up and get moving for a great workout
or a loop of the Imperial Palace. Boring, dowdy
sportswear became a thing of the past when Stella
McCartney’s partnership with Adidas launched
stylish, flattering performance pieces. Each
collection gets better and better and this season’s
printed designs and color tone combinations are a
winner. stellamccartney.com
Step up your basic beanie a
notch with this super soft and
on-trend number from New
York designer Eugenia Kim to
add a spot of Manhattan cool to
your look. We found a beanie
that has a chic take on the animal
ear trend, steering clear of
the cutesy and kitsch variations
that have come before. The
chunky knit design has an element
of fun with its animal ear
fur pompoms simply adorning
the top. There is no better way
to simultaneously stay warm
and conceal a bad hair day on
your weekend morning coffee
run than pulling on this wool
beanie.

MOJA – SHIBUYA
The warm and laid-back atmosphere, straddled with strings of lights,
and wafting smells of fried chicken and waffles lures in diners on a
daily basis. Giant comfy couches, dim lamps, and the exquisite house
cocktails keep customers coming back. With three floors of dining
options, from the French-style basement with seafood, a coffee cafe
and live bar on the first, to the American-style chicken and waffle
focal point on the second, MOJA can be enjoyed again and again.
Weekly events, live shows, and changing menu keep MOJA ahead
of the other Shibuya hotspots, and will make you a regular after the
first meal. Come for the taste of home, stay for the music and the
new friends.
Prices: ¥1000-5000
Address: 1-11-1 Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0002 B1, 1, 2F
