Leopard girl

Another cold February afternoon in Tokyo – this time, Roppongi Hills with my photographer friend Lisa. There was surprisingly quite a bit of snow left in the area, which turned out to be really pretty in the photos. Here, I am wearing my favorite leopard print jacket I randomly found at a used clothing store … Continue Reading

Q-pot cafe

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting up with my friend in Harajuku. We had just met last month through a mutual friend when we were both visiting California, and we hit it off and decided to see each other when we returned to Japan.

California girl

My last few days in Orange County were spent shopping, walking around Main Street in Huntington Beach, and catching up with my friends over good food and drinks. Also, a family dinner at Tokyo Table consisting of American-style sushi. I already miss the summer weather despite it being winter, my family, and my friends. But … Continue Reading

Catalina Island

I didn’t realize Catalina Island was such a beautiful place until my family and I visited a few days ago. It was one of my father’s favorite places, and now I can see why. I’ll be back again, Dad.

On to Melrose

It’s been almost 2 years since I’ve stopped by Melrose and it feels great to be back. After having lunch with my brother at Umami Burger, we went to Freak Chic Piercings & Tattoos because I’ve been wanting another piercing (I have 10 now… yes I’m addicted). Thanks to my brother, I finally have photos … Continue Reading
