Summer whites pt. 2 (featuring Moussy & SLY)

I’m starting to like the two-part OOTD series, and this time I styled another summer white with some washed denim similar to my post here. I’m featuring the same brands, Moussy and SLY, but introducing different silhouettes for a more romantic yet casual feel. An off-shoulder blouse like this one from Moussy is an easy … Continue Reading

Visiting the Takasaki Kannon, the Deity of Mercy

Hey lovelies! I’ve been a bit MIA for the past week due to some blogging troubles, so many apologies  for not responding to any comments and such. I’ll probably talk about that in a separate post later. I did, however, have a 3-day weekend after the “spring break” in Japan (aka Golden Week), and paid … Continue Reading

Summer whites (featuring SLY)

Sometimes we all need a little simplicity in our lives. I crave it all the time as I try to make my way in this fast-paced lifestyle in Tokyo. Maybe it’s why my style is somewhat toned-down most of the time, although I am inspired by the crazy and the colorful. And sometimes, it’s the … Continue Reading

Matte liquid lipsticks

  My recent obsession: liquid lipsticks with a matte finish. I always thought lipsticks were the only option for anything close to a matte lip color, but these are just revolutionary. Japanese girls tend to gravitate towards really glossy lip colors, but I’m a “matte” girl through and through. Some brands I picked up: Maybelline … Continue Reading

The Lab, Costa Mesa

I spent my last day in California, mostly with my brother because he suggested going shopping (which ended up being my shopping trip), and then the three of us with my mom for his birthday dinner. I always love shopping at The LAB in Costa Mesa because of how hipster it is and the perfect … Continue Reading

David Guetta @ the XS Las Vegas

During my first weekend in California, I drove up to Las Vegas to see David Guetta at the XS Club at Wynn Resorts. Vegas is definitely a crazy party scene, I’m not sure how else to put it. But David Guetta and surprise guest Bebe Rexha were definitely worth the trip there. Next time, I’m … Continue Reading

Tokyo Typo Store

Growing up, I attended Japanese school on Saturdays, pounding my head with countless Japanese “kanji” characters, practicing them over and over again until my hand felt close to paralyzed. But because I studied them for so many years, I can understand the meaning and origins of each. I recently modeled & styled T-shirts for a … Continue Reading

Spring trend: fringed denim (featuring Moussy)

One of my favorite trends this season is fringed denim. This oversized denim dress with fringed detail from Moussy is a new favorite of mine – I just like oversized, comfortable clothing in general. Not only is the hemline of the dress perfectly frayed, but the neckline has the fringed detail going on as well. Bandanas … Continue Reading

The Line Hotel pt. 2

Lounging around in my room at the Line Hotel a few weeks ago, in all adidas. I picked up these Originals By Rita Ora kimono print leggings at Urban Outfitters, intrigued by the traditional Japanese design. When I’m in my comfort zone, expect me in something simple and comfortable. Hence the T-shirt & leggings look. I already … Continue Reading

Denim Day 2016

Today is Denim Day in LA and the US. According to DenimDayInfo.org, it all started with a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where the rape conviction was overturned, ruling that the rap victim was wearing tight jeans and must have helped her rapist remove the jeans, thereby consenting to the rape. The next day, … Continue Reading
