Flared all over

The transition between August and September, from summer to fall, is probably one of my favorites of the year. Adding touches of fall to my outfits is also something I look forward to. While I would never wear fitted pants during the sweltering heat of summer, now I can opt for denim and still feel … Continue Reading

Summer vibes in Japan

It’s nearly impossible to be surrounded by this much greenery whilst in Tokyo – the 3-hour trip near the coast of Chiba was well worth it. This hibiscus-print setup from Zaful looks way better against the green, anyway.  東京に住んでると、ここまでの新緑に囲まれることはないので、3時間かけて千葉県の海岸沿いまで行ったかいがありました。Zafulのハイビスカス柄のセットアップは緑を背景に撮った方が色が全然綺麗に見えるしね。 Set-up: Zaful; sunglasses: zeroUV; earrings: Beach Closet; choker: Zara; shoes: See by Chloe (Farfetch) All photos by Lasse … Continue Reading
