Mixing the old with the new

You can never go wrong with an oversized, ankle-length cardigan. While there are many ways to style one, this time I opted for simple, yet quality pieces in my wardrobe. My favorite Rag & Bone tee, a pleather skirt, my mom’s old LV purse, a silver bangle with a leather wrap-around from Spanish jewelry brand … Continue Reading

Black & white nostalgia

Black & white photography immediately arouses feelings of nostalgia. I’m a pretty nostalgic person at heart, especially since I live a completely different life than I did until 4 years ago. モノクロ写真はノスタルジアを感じさせます。私自身が結構ノスタルジックになりがちで、東京に来る前の時期をいつも思い出します。 Forever 21 dress, Chiara Ferragni espadrilles, Are You Am I choker, zeroUV sunglasses         All photos by Gabriel Perez.  

Pleated blue velvet

From the previous weekend when I had a delicious buffet-style brunch at the Shinjuku Park Hyatt.

Heather 15th Anniversary party

Japanese brand Heather celebrated its 15th anniversary at IDOL with an abundance of pink. Popular model Maggy is currently the image model of the brand – wall photo collage was my favorite decoration. It was my first time meeting Nylon blogger Andreea, who is probably the cutest fashion blogger I’ve met. Heatherが15周年を祝う盛大なパーティーを開催しました。会場がピンクだらけで、とても女の子らしい雰囲気満載。今人気のマギーちゃんがイメージモデルを努めていて、壁のフォトコラージュが可愛かった!そして、この日は初めてNylonブロガーのアンドレアちゃんに会いました。お人形さんみたいな顔とスタイル!多分今まで会ったブロガーの中で一番可愛いかも。

Blue statement clutches for under $300

I’ve been a bit obsessed with blue recently after going to the Guerlain party (their blue theme was excellent and a nice change from the other parties I’ve been to). So I decided to compile some cute blue statement clutches for going out or even for daily use, all under $300. If you’d like to … Continue Reading

Black lace dress

A black slip dress is a more versatile piece than most think. Once it gets a little cooler, I plan to layer it with a plain white tee or even a pair of jeans. And the elegant lace neckline in this one just goes so well with my chokers♡ 黒のスリップワンピースは、以外と万能なアイテムなんです。もうちょっと涼しくなったら、白Tシャツをインしたり、デニムと一緒に着てみたりしようかなと思ってます。エレガントなレースのネックラインがチョーカーと相性がいいので、お気に入りです♡ dress: OZOC; jacket: Vintage Levi’s; shoes: … Continue Reading

The perfect fragrance for a bold and vivacious woman in love, so in love … Continue Reading

An all-black uniform

I’m currently reading 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami and it’s one of the most interesting reads I’ve had in a while. I decided to start reading it without reading any summaries or reviews, and it was nothing like I had expected, which is a good thing. Sometimes picking up a book and not expecting the expected … Continue Reading
