Opposites attract

Here are a few more shots from the photo shoot in Toyosu. I never thought leather could be coordinated with something so fluffy, but it somehow worked. For this second look, the makeup artist and I were deciding how to arrange my hair, but we ended up leaving it alone. Meanwhile, the sun was setting, … Continue Reading

Happy Halloween

There isn’t too much you can do when Halloween falls on a Wednesday, but I met up with a friend in Shinjuku for some drinks after work and we luckily came across this Halloween-inspired brick toast at Pasela. I have a huge sweet tooth so I couldn’t pass this up. What did you all do … Continue Reading

Pink is key

    I would have never thought to wear an outfit like this had it not been for my work. Le Ciel Bleu has changed my outlook on fashion immensely – the Samantha 2 months ago would not be wearing a knit hat of any color, especially bright pink. And with a pencil skirt. Sounds … Continue Reading

There is a place in the distance

I was so excited to receive the final images from my photo shoot with Kidperez Photography last weekend. We did two different looks, but I would have to say my favorite is the first one. I’ve been wanting to do a boyish look but with a touch of feminine (with the makeup and the pink … Continue Reading

Witchcraft

It might be a little too late to be posting a Halloween makeup tutorial since the weekend is almost over, but maybe it will be useful for next year. I dressed up as a witch this Halloween, but since my costume was pretty simple, I really wanted my makeup to be vivid and, well, sexy. … Continue Reading

Black & white party

    I had the pleasure of attending a party hosted by my work, Le Ciel Bleu/ Restir in Roppongi. These were the few photos I was able to snap right before the guests started arriving. The hors d’oeuvres and flower arrangements look pretty amazing, don’t you think? They were delicious too 🙂 The party … Continue Reading

Photoshoot in Toyosu

Photo diary from my first test shoot in Japan! I had a great time working with Noli and Niki, my photographer and MUA. We made our way to Toyosu, a city located near the harbor. I’ve never posted before & after photos from my previous photo shoots, but I thought it would be fun to … Continue Reading

It’s been a while

  I know it’s been a while since my last blog post, but with moving and work and no internet for a week, I had to put blogging on hold. I was also cooped up in bed all day yesterday with a fever, which didn’t help my case either. But I’m all better now and … Continue Reading

Take it to the head

MOTIV & JOSELYN ARCIAGA I was fortunate enough to take part in this video shoot as a model. I’ve been … Continue Reading

Wishlist

The great thing about working in apparel is that you get to look at beautiful clothes everyday. For me, the downside of working at Le Ciel Bleu is that I want everything. As I said in my last post, Le Ciel carries imported brands as well as its original brand. The open-zip sweater and the … Continue Reading
