So, we closed our doors of our little boutique in Laguna to focus on bringing fashion via the internet full time! But don’t worry- just because we aren’t physically there… doesn’t mean we’re not here! ^_^
You may personally contact me at (714) 944-7050 with any questions as our number has changed.
On a personal note… Dew and I have been doing well. He is very busy working on Green Come True and we look forward to that taking off very fast as the Hikari Coat is the most fantastic life-saving product- EVER! LoL! (No, really… Im not kidding… Please check it out at www.greencometrue.com )
We also had a ball not too long ago partying it down at Efren and Carlos Ramirez’s birthday bash at Opera night club in Hollywood. You may know Efren from Napoleon Dynamite’s “Pedro”. Its always fun seeing old friends!!! We have a picture coming soon!
Holidays are coming…. Might want to think about saving money and buying a kawaii dresses on sale from us as gifts! Plus, who wants to deal with the mall crowd anyway? Lots fo extra special holiday specials coming soon!
Love,
J.

Hi again!
It’s been fun updating all the cute stuff!!! I uploaded even MORE today! Some, you will notice I took pics of- myself. My camera isnt exactly professional quality- at all! But you can still see how adorable the clothes are… Anytime, you want additional pictures- just drop me an inquiry and I can take more pics. ^_^ Some have great pictures, though. (Those are the pictures I did not take! Ha!)
Dew and I are MOVING! (Not the boutique… dont worry.) But we’re moving apartments to Aliso Viejo!! I cant wait. Our new place is a little more inland but Im sooooo happy to finally have a washer/dryer INSIDE the apartment! Usually, we have to tote our clothes across the apartment complex to wash them. Yay!!! Also… a walk-in closet and REAL bathtub. (I mean, not that we had a “fake” bathtub before… It was just one of those tiny ones.) So, Im so happy to be able to take a bubble bath. We have been soooooooo busy lately from our fashion show- to moving/packing- Dew is going away to Nashville next week as well…. then we’ll be off to Japan in late June! Whew! Lots happening!! But its something to look foward to always.
I want all our friends/family to come see us in our new apartment!!! We have a nice porch/terrace that will have a grill so it would be fun to have a PARTY out there. (We bought the cutest stone tables for outside… Sooo cheap too from craigslist!)
But back to JT… I want to show you something I put online today. I uploaded several things as you may notice but I wanted to put a spotlight on a few.
CLICK ON THE PIC!
Isnt this adorable? It has little sailor gold buttons… Its from ME JANE. Thats a brand carried at the famous Shibuya 109 department store in Tokyo. If you’ve been inside the store… you’ll notice its a bit expensive. I don’t think you can find this dress ANYWHERE at this low 50% price. Im eyeing it myself, girls! Im telling you… You better buy it before I do!!! Im starting to think how adorable it will look in my NEW walk-in closet. Ha! Just kidding… but actually its soooo cute so I dont think it’ll last long at this price and I only have one.
CLICK!
This is one of my favorite tops. Also on sale!! Its from the Japanese brand ROJITA. (This is also at Shibuya 109 in Tokyo!) Its silky soft and has a lacey material on shoulders and chest area. I really fell in love with this top. It looks so elegant… You could dress it up or wear it casual.
CLICK!
Sweeeeeeeeeet. Can you believe its only $9.99? Yep, on sale! I have so many awesome bargains. I love this top because it reminds me of being at the beach in summer. Its the perfect summer halter top! Its seersucker and has a little bow!! Everybody say at once….”AWWWWWW!”
CLICK!
Bright blue…. This is really nice! I love this color so I thought I’d share it with you. This is one of our new dresses that came in and you can buy it online now!!!
CLICK!
Ok, I didnt take this picture… (Can you tell?) But its soooooooooooooo cute! I also have it in PINK too!! Its online, now for you to buy. All of these new items and many many many many more our up in our online/in store shop. Just click on “New items” and everyday you will see many more. Im constantly adding more clothes all the time to get caught up from the fashion show.
As I add more… I will feature some of them on the blog… (My favorites!)
Happy Shopping!!!

Dew and I had so much fun last Friday at Laguna Beach Highschool!!! A lot of hard work paid off on everyone’s part! I want to thank Linda for all her time and patience working with us… I also would like to thank all the models that participated in the show. I know they had many rehearsals and fittings to make it great! Well done, everyone!
It was great to see our friend Carlos, too! ;-) Carlos and Sierra- if youre out there- Thank you for coming!!! We’ll get together again soon.
Chiho’s purses were a hit- they look so adorable with the clothing!!
I want to post a few pictures Dew snapped with his digi camera… They arent professional pictures but you can still see how great the show was. Also, we will be getting the show on DVD! (Im excited and nervous to see…)
<— Awwwww, our friends!
Just click each pic to see it in full size.
More pictures are coming… and a video clip of the show as well!!!
Dew and I have pretty much started getting back to normal. We have a new display table at the boutique to show all our cute bags and little shorts… Everything is *officially* organzied again. We spent this weekend setting up the store again and it looks better than ever. Yesterday, I spent the day cleaning our poor little neglected apartment. We were so busy preparing for show that laundry piled up like you would never believe. (But Tako loves to sleep in our dirty clothes for some reason… so he really didnt mind!)
I also learned how to make GYOZA! Mmmmmmm….. That was really fun.
So, now that things are calm- Dew and I plan to focus on business and our trip to JAPAN! Less than 7 weeks away! Im counting down…
xoxoxo Jilly xoxoxo
Yes, you may have been noticing the Japanese blog! Dont worry if you can’t read Japanese… (I can’t either…) Pretty much we’re offering a blog in both Japanese and English but you wont miss out on anything because Im back with the update in English.
So much to say….
First I have to welcome my husband! Yay! I posted a picture of his yummy yakisoba omelette he makes. Isnt that sweet he put the kewpie mayo in hearts? Awwwww…
Now, on to business.
Chiho Watanabe’s exclusive purses are on their way and Im sooooo excited! As you know… fashon show is only one week away so Im thrilled about unveiling these cute bags to the world. Pics are coming soon!
Guess what I got?
The GAYUYA MIRROR! This mirror is a rare charm from Japan thats not available in America and is very very very hard to get your hands on in Japan.
Sooooo cute, right?

And my favorite one that was made for me in my signature color….

You can custom order your own Gakuya Mirror too!!! How? Well, send us a request either online or come on by the store and we’ll custom order you one from Japan- in YOUR signature color. Looks gorgeous on your vanity… a true PRINCESS piece that is WILD in Japan. For specific details/prices please send an inquiry or email info@jillianatokyo.com
They are so beautiful… I have the pink one on my desk as Im typing this and I cant stop staring at it. The packaging alone is too cute! It reminds me off a barbie doll box.
<3
Back to the one week countdown- I wanted to let everyone know (and apologize for this in advance) that if you have been in store recently our inventory has been reduced because we are now holding clothing for the fashion show on May 2nd. Also, we have soooooo many products to add to our website but we’re refraining from posting them until the show is over. I know, I promised you I’d have more up and I feel quite guilty. I didnt mean to leave anyone hanging. Once everything settles down you all will have your pick of the latest and greatest. Babydoll dresses galore mixed in with funky brands and bright colors- Jilliana TOKYO is preparing for a bright summer of sun dresses- little mini shorts and the cutest crochet bags to go with them from CHIHO WATANABE! Im really inspired to bring you affordable Japanese fashions that can go from daytime hanging out at the pool/beach (cute mini shorts paired with are adorable floral Liz Lisa tops..) to night time at the club (silk babydoll dresses that sparkle.)
Till next time!

2月に944 Magzineの取材・撮影がありました。3月号のSpring Fashion特集のひとつにうちが選ばれたとのことでした。実は、それまで944 Magzineなんていう雑誌は知らなくて、きっとこの辺のすごいローカルな雑誌だろうと思っていたら、大間違い。今全米の主要都市(LA、NY、Las Vegas、Miami、Pheonix、そしてOC)で展開されている、この手のトレンド誌では一・二を争う人気の雑誌だそうで。2月号を見たら、表紙がパリスヒルトンだったので、結構有名人もでてるんだー、なんて思ったりして。
別に断る理由も無かったので、OKしたけど、店の引越しと重なってしまい、大変でした。引越しの2日後に取材撮影があって、この2日間は徹夜で内装工事をしました。前の店は壁をピンクにしてたんだけど、今回は時間が無いので、オリジナルのライトグリーンをそのまま保ち、床のタイル張りと、洋服ラックを壁に設置するだけにしました。
撮影は、TOKYOファッションということで、アジア系モデルが3人来ました。その中にジリアン一人、ブロンドの白人で浮いていたんだけど、なんとか溶け込めたようでした。3時間の撮影で、ずっと立ちっぱなしだったせいもあるか、二人とも疲労が限界に来ていたんだけど、打ち上げということで前の345に一杯やりに行きました。
3月号を手にしてみると、なかなか良くできてるなー、というのが第一印象。写真はみんなちょっとケバケバしかったけど、記事は良く書けてたね。でもヘッドラインが、HARAJUKUファッションで、バックグラウンド写真が渋谷109だったので、ちょっとずれたかな。(渋谷109さん、ゴメンナサイ!)
さあ、今度は5月2日のファッションショーに向けて準備をしないと。ショーは、Laguna Beach Artist Theatreで行われます。かの有名な、TVドラマ”Laguna Beach”をロケした、Laguna Beach High Schoolの隣にあるようで、うちの店から車で5分。一般客にもチケット販売しているようなのだけど、フロント席は$150だって。おいおい、ちょっと高すぎない?でもPlanet BeautyとUrban Decayもスポンサーになってるようなので、そこそこなのかな。
ショーの詳細ブログは又来週。
