Happy Easter

If you are friends with me on Facebook or follow me on Instagram, you might know that I very recently became a Christian, and I really wanted … Continue Reading

Transformation

I made a quick blog post last month about this shoot, and finally the photos are here! What a transformation I did for this – a short, blonde wig with a pretty bold lip. At first, I doubted a blonde anything would look good on me, but Jason already knew before I put that thing … Continue Reading

Burgers and breakfast for lunch

From a much-awaited lunch break with my friend Alisa. We ate outside of J.S. Burger in Shibuya, and enjoyed a veggie burger with avocado and a BLT breakfast plate. I love this place because it comes with unlimited soup and salad bar. Healthy and satisfying.

Sakura blossoms in the rain

  Yesterday, I met up with my friend Lisa in Nakameguro to do a quick photo shoot with the pretty cherry blossoms near Meguro-bashi (Meguro Bridge).

She is famous for designing the wrap dress, which is … Continue Reading
