A casual little black dress part 2 (featuring Bershka)

Did everyone have a great weekend? I’ve been a little slow at responding to comments and preparing this post, so apologies for that. I actually performed at Night Nation Run in Japan, the first running music festival in the world. I was a featured artist for EDM unit EDO, which includes DJ Marc Panther, club-D … Continue Reading

A casual little black dress pt. 1 (featuring Tobi)

The LBD in the traditional sense is designed for a formal setting, but I’m proving it wrong with my 2-part series. This casual Amarah buttoned halter dress from Tobi is perfect for a day out, and even for cocktails in the evening. I actually wore it to Vegas when I went to see David Guetta. And I … Continue Reading

Summer whites pt. 2 (featuring Moussy & SLY)

I’m starting to like the two-part OOTD series, and this time I styled another summer white with some washed denim similar to my post here. I’m featuring the same brands, Moussy and SLY, but introducing different silhouettes for a more romantic yet casual feel. An off-shoulder blouse like this one from Moussy is an easy … Continue Reading

Summer whites (featuring SLY)

Sometimes we all need a little simplicity in our lives. I crave it all the time as I try to make my way in this fast-paced lifestyle in Tokyo. Maybe it’s why my style is somewhat toned-down most of the time, although I am inspired by the crazy and the colorful. And sometimes, it’s the … Continue Reading

The Lab, Costa Mesa

I spent my last day in California, mostly with my brother because he suggested going shopping (which ended up being my shopping trip), and then the three of us with my mom for his birthday dinner. I always love shopping at The LAB in Costa Mesa because of how hipster it is and the perfect … Continue Reading

Spring trend: fringed denim (featuring Moussy)

One of my favorite trends this season is fringed denim. This oversized denim dress with fringed detail from Moussy is a new favorite of mine – I just like oversized, comfortable clothing in general. Not only is the hemline of the dress perfectly frayed, but the neckline has the fringed detail going on as well. Bandanas … Continue Reading

The Line Hotel pt. 1

I’m still in the process of sorting out all the photos I took during my LA trip, so they’ll be coming up over the next couple of days. One of my favorite destinations was the Line Hotel in K-town. My girl friend introduced me to this cute little hotel, and I wanted to check out … Continue Reading

Venice Beach

Venice Beach is the epitome of a Californian oceanside paradise. You got your cloudless clear blue skies, vast ocean, palm trees swaying in the wind, colorful graffiti walls (and palm trunks!), the quirky souvenir shops along the Boardwalk, cafes and clothing boutiques on Abbot Kinney… and the list goes on. My friend Tina introduced me … Continue Reading

Pacific City

My 2 weeks in Cali are whizzing by and weekend 1 of Coachella is right around the corner. I did have some time to check out the new shopping center near Huntington Beach Main Street. Pacific City opened recently, and I’m already loving the scenery and convenience the area has to offer. Now I wish … Continue Reading

Hello Melrose

 Walking through Melrose brings back memories of my UCLA days. Just one more week in California and I feel like it’s going to fly by. 久しぶりにメルローズの道を歩くと、UCLA通ってた頃が懐かしくなる。カリフォルニア滞在残り一週間。時間はあっという間に過ぎそう。1日1日を大切に過ごしたいな。 jacket: Comptoir des Cotonniers; top: Bershka; jeans: Moussy; sandals: Steve Madden; clutch: Dezso
