Yes, I have been studying a bit of Japanese language, and i am pretty sure that kawaii(cute) and harajuku are the same type of meaning. Here I have a good language site, I will check, and reply again in about 5 minutes. Hang on...

Ok, i typed in "harajuku" in the site's search engine, and it said it was not a registered word? Perhaps it is a slang word for cute?

Harajuku "原宿", is the common name for the area around Harajuku Station on the Yamanote Line. On Sunday's it's a popular hang out for young teen's, and fashion junkie's. It's also right by the two main shopping streets, Omotesandō and Takeshita Street. And it's also located near Meiji Shrine, and Yoyogi Park.

Kawaii dose mean cute,

...So I really have no idea how you would put to and to together... but I suppose you are just learning.

As for the main topic post. I don't really know if "kawaii style" is really a style of fashion. I think wherever you got that from is probably just talking in general the cute clothes and hair styles you usually seen worn.

harajuku is a area in Tokyo.
kawaii does mean cute.

I never heard of kawaii style in particular, but theres harajuku style and shibuya style, visual kei, etc etc.

i was assume kawaii style would be alot of pink stuff and tons of accessories to make you look like a lil girl.

should check out lolita style and such.
