On the go

Hello everyone, thought I’d like to share my day-to-day makeup routine that I use on the go.   Most of these are drugstore brands and are affordable. The B.B. cream is really light, which is good for my skin because it gets oily. These creams are popular in Japan, and now you can get them at … Continue Reading

In two weeks

My “other” photos from Wayfarer’s Chapel. I had them taken for my piano recital posters, which I’ll be putting up at school. The dress was the last one in my size! I ordered it online and it fits perfectly 🙂 Less than 2 weeks until my recital! I’m playing a lot of my favorite works so … Continue Reading

Robertson Blvd.

Today, I had the pleasure of working with Japanese model Melody Yoko. She is visiting LA to shoot a TV show episode that airs in Japan to promote a boutique called Beckley. Apparently, she produced a watch that is supposed to be sold there. (from left to right: Alissa, Mizuki, Melody, and me) She’s one … Continue Reading

By the seaside

Photos from an outing in Palos Verdes, at Wayfarer’s Chapel. The weather was perfect to wander around and absorb the beauty of it all.  It had been a while since I’d seen such a glorious view of the ocean. So much blue that it’s almost blinding (in a good way). Another reason I went here was … Continue Reading

Natural light

As promised, here are some of the photos from one of my previous photo shoots. The photographer wanted to experiment with natural light in his apartment, so they are quite simple. Hope you like them 🙂  photos by Narciso Carlos

DineLA at Comme Ca

Hello lovelies<3 I had the luxury of dining at a French restaurant, comme ca, for dineLA last night with my friend Y.

Rainy days and Mondays

Just finally getting over my cold that kept me in bed for almost 2 days.  Even so, I managed to go to a music video shoot for Pink Martini and Saori Yuki’s new song, “Is that all there is?” (we filmed this from 10pm to 2am in the cold drizzle, mind you). Despite the weather, … Continue Reading
