Harajuku Fashion?

I've been REALLY into Japan's amazingly colourful and eccentric culture lately, and have suddenly taken an extreme liking to jRock... But my question is: do you know of ANY store in Canada (specifically Ontario) that would sell any accessories that at least look somewhat similar to Harajuku fashion? I have some pictures if you're in need of a better understanding.

I don't want to go over the top, with the colourful hair and wings and gas mask... To simplifiy this, I want a softcore Harajuku look. Any hints, tips?



Harajuku Fashion?

I'm from the states so I wouldn't know of any Canadian shops, but I'm very familiar with the style... I love it as well! :)



Bright colors and layers are essential. Mix and match to find some contrasting colors... like yellow and bright pink, red and turquoise... you get the idea. One of the cutest outfits I've seen was a tiered skirt that came from mid thigh on one side and draped down to the knee on the other. The girl wore two layered camis in contrasting colors over it. She topped it off with colorful anke bracelets, a bright colored visor, and gladiator sandals.



Another cute one I have a photo of it a knee length blue dress with a magenta colored tunic layered over it. The girl has a black tunic-length vest over the dress/tunic. The outfit is completed with thigh-high neon tights and black cowgirl boots. So cute!



Hope that helps!
