When tomorrow comes

I’m so excited to share the photos from my shoot with Lisa, a photographer, writer and musician from Northern California. We shot at Rikyu Park in Shiodome, Tokyo. I had no idea this place existed – truly an amazing and gorgeous location. The weather was perfect, so perfect that I wasn’t freezing in this H&M … Continue Reading

Opposites attract

Here are a few more shots from the photo shoot in Toyosu. I never thought leather could be coordinated with something so fluffy, but it somehow worked. For this second look, the makeup artist and I were deciding how to arrange my hair, but we ended up leaving it alone. Meanwhile, the sun was setting, … Continue Reading

Happy Halloween

There isn’t too much you can do when Halloween falls on a Wednesday, but I met up with a friend in Shinjuku for some drinks after work and we luckily came across this Halloween-inspired brick toast at Pasela. I have a huge sweet tooth so I couldn’t pass this up. What did you all do … Continue Reading

Pink is key

    I would have never thought to wear an outfit like this had it not been for my work. Le Ciel Bleu has changed my outlook on fashion immensely – the Samantha 2 months ago would not be wearing a knit hat of any color, especially bright pink. And with a pencil skirt. Sounds … Continue Reading

There is a place in the distance

I was so excited to receive the final images from my photo shoot with Kidperez Photography last weekend. We did two different looks, but I would have to say my favorite is the first one. I’ve been wanting to do a boyish look but with a touch of feminine (with the makeup and the pink … Continue Reading

Witchcraft

It might be a little too late to be posting a Halloween makeup tutorial since the weekend is almost over, but maybe it will be useful for next year. I dressed up as a witch this Halloween, but since my costume was pretty simple, I really wanted my makeup to be vivid and, well, sexy. … Continue Reading

Black & white party

    I had the pleasure of attending a party hosted by my work, Le Ciel Bleu/ Restir in Roppongi. These were the few photos I was able to snap right before the guests started arriving. The hors d’oeuvres and flower arrangements look pretty amazing, don’t you think? They were delicious too 🙂 The party … Continue Reading

Photoshoot in Toyosu

Photo diary from my first test shoot in Japan! I had a great time working with Noli and Niki, my photographer and MUA. We made our way to Toyosu, a city located near the harbor. I’ve never posted before & after photos from my previous photo shoots, but I thought it would be fun to … Continue Reading

It’s been a while

  I know it’s been a while since my last blog post, but with moving and work and no internet for a week, I had to put blogging on hold. I was also cooped up in bed all day yesterday with a fever, which didn’t help my case either. But I’m all better now and … Continue Reading
