To a New Year, 2015

Happy New Year, everyone! I wish all of you a year full of love, happiness and success. I’m sure many of you have some New Year’s resolutions for 2015. I know I do. And I think the most important goal for me is to be as healthy as possible – make sure I’m on a … Continue Reading

reflecting on 2014

2014 is coming to an end, and all too quickly 2015 is right around the corner. I don’t think I’m ever fully prepared for the new year, but I’ve been thinking of what I have or haven’t accomplished this past year, my New Year’s resolutions, and how I can become a better, more mature person … Continue Reading

OUTFIT | downtown streets of LA

My two-week vacation in California is slowly, yet quickly coming to a close. After going to eggslut with my brother the other day, we found some cool graffiti walls and fences in the industrial district of downtown LA and he was cool enough to snap these photos for me. I was very pleased with his … Continue Reading

eggslut for post-Christmas brunch

Hey guys, a day late but Merry Christmas! Thanks for your comments, I hope you all enjoyed the holidays as much as I did! I took a quick trip to downtown LA this morning with my brother to try eggslut. The “slut” was amazing! A Japanese TV show I was in introduced this place in … Continue Reading

A December beach

  Enjoyed an afternoon at the beach today with my brother. I wish I was more of a beach girl growing up, but I’m still spoiled for being able to enjoy some California sun right before Christmas. Our bathing suits are courtesy of Billabong Japan – thank you! We love Billabong <3 今日は弟と冬のビーチを楽しんできました。クリスマス前に水着着て海へ行けるのは、本当に贅沢だなーと今更思う。水着とトランクスはBillabong Japanから頂いたものです。Billabong 大好き! … Continue Reading

OUTFIT | Knit Dress + Vans

I always love a simple outfit, especially when it only consists of two items + accessories. I picked up this knit dress from Madewell last week. The day I took these near Sawtelle, it was warm enough to wear it by itself, but I’ve worn it with black skinnies on colder days (I’d rather not … Continue Reading

Blogger Meet-up with Yuka from Pretty In Leather

I actually haven’t met too many bloggers in LA or Tokyo yet (which is pretty sad…), but I was fortunate enough to meet Yuka from Pretty In Leather over some delicious Greek cuisine. She is such a sweet girl, probably what I imagined her to be even though I’ve only known her through her blog … Continue Reading

The Line Hotel, LA

While my friend Amy was in SoCal with me, she decided to spend a night at the trendy Line Hotel in LA. It was such a chic little hotel! The lounge & bar area was spacious and clean, and as you can sort of tell, we loved the sofas. It’s a little lonely without Amy … Continue Reading

OUTFIT | Falling leaves in Shinjuku Gyoen with Jason Mordeno Photography

Do any of you miss the fall foliage that just recently ended? I do, mainly because I hear it has already snowed in Tokyo, and also, you can’t really experience the change of seasons in Southern California (palm trees and greenery all year round). I did another photo shoot with Canadian photographer Jason Mordeno, who … Continue Reading

umami burger @ the camp

A few days ago, I took Amy to Umami Burger at The Camp in Costa Mesa. Two starving girls after a morning of shopping = eating our burgers to the very last bite. Umami never disappoints. My Skyed Apparel hat is the perfect accessory for a super casual outfit. Thanks always! 数日前、エイミーちゃんを旨味バーガーへ連れて行きました。ここのハンバーガーは半端ない。腹ぺこの私たちは最後まで食べちゃいました。。美味しすぎるから。エイミーといるといつも楽しい♪
