Muji Lovin

After reading Sfgirlbybay's blog today, which featured Japanese interior designs, it made me miss Muji. I first came by Muji when I was a teenager on holiday visiting my dad in Hong Kong. If you have never been to Muji, I can only explain it to you as this:

It is mainly kraft coloured, there are bits of navy, acrylic. Your eyes open up more. The clean lines. Want to touch. The stationary station makes you want to make more lists, write more, colour more, organize, be zen. I must have all of this to be zen. Oh why does zen cost so much? Oh right, it's because I want to buy the entire store. They sell clothes too, pretty simple cool clothes. Unpretentious. Uncluttered. Wow I never knew I needed so many organizers and sand coloured socks. What it is, is that it makes you want to buy all the organizers and then buy more to fill those organizers. You could spend hours in there and if you do not have a place of your own, it really really makes you wish you had a place of your own, preferably right next to the Muji store.





Hairties.
(Oh how I remember those, they hurt like hell )

A Muji store opened up last year about a block away from me... I always rush by it trying not to look in the window because I don't want to get sucked in! (It's right next door to CB2 and I practically have to run down that block or I'll loose an hour or so of my day) But... I do need some earmuffs... and I do like those ones....

We have Muji. But they are surprisingly expensive. So I go and selectively opshop. But I am addicted to H&M. Ooooh, that's love!

I feel like there was a Muji store at the airport in Hong Kong- I can't recall the name but it definitely had this spare clean aesthetic and everything seemed to go together sooooo well. They had little candies and bento boxes to take on the plane- all very luxe!
