A Sunday in Chinatown

I was supposed to go to a Baystars vs. Tigers baseball game on Sunday but my friend didn’t realize tickets would sell out during Golden Week so plans changed… We decided to walk over to Chu-kagai or the Chinatown of Japan in Yokohama. I’ve been to the Chinatown in San Francisco, but I enjoyed Chu-kagai … Continue Reading

Village Tokyo

  A night of partying at Village Tokyo in Azabu. It was my first time going clubbing with my good friend Marie and hopefully not our last. Sonny B was also in the house! This place played so many of my favorite jams, I felt like I was in California again. So going back. (blazer … Continue Reading

The happiness year

    It’s been too long since I visited Tokyo Disneyland (it’s only been a couple months but I love this place), and I was so excited to go during its 30 year anniversary celebration “The Happiness Year.” I loved the colorful decorations at the entrance and at Cinderella’s castle. And it was my friend … Continue Reading

Incoco nails

Incoco Nail Polish Applique come in a variety of colors and designs, and the cool thing is that they are easy to apply and come right off with nail polish remover.

I’m so glad our mutual friend made the connection because he introduced me to an area in Shibuya that I didn’t know existed – colorful graffiti walls, a hip hop record & clothing stores. Glorious way to … Continue Reading

Brunch at Beacon

Writing this post is making my mouth water all over again. This morning, I had brunch with my good friend Marie at Beacon Urban Chop House, a high-end restaurant in Shibuya. It was the first and best brunch I’ve ever had in Japan. The orange almond muffin and vanilla almond french toast were indescribably delicious. … Continue Reading

Addicted

  My headphones are my new favorite item at the moment, along with my Angie hoodie + ring that I got at Le Ciel Bleu recently. Gotta stay cozy somehow in this cold weather. I wish April 1st pulled a silly prank on us with the weather because it does not feel like spring right … Continue Reading

Sakura

I know it’s cherry blossom overload on my blog right now, but… I can’t help it!  It’s my first time experiencing sakura season in Japan 🙂 I finally made my way to Meguro Bridge in Nakameguro, a well-known spot to view the beautiful cherry blossoms. I was quite amazed at the  beauty before me – … Continue Reading

Springtime

View through my lenses right near my work 🙂 Happy spring!

Just for fun

      Today was my first day working in Shibuya, and since my photographer and I had some off time during the photo shoot, we decided to do a mini photo shoot totally unrelated to work. Just for fun:) (jacket and jeans: Le Ciel Bleu; shirt: wego; heels: Target; sunglasses: H&M; bracelet: gift)
