Tokyo Fashion Week 2015 Fall/Winter

And like that, Fashion Week is over. It’s so crazy how all the shows and installments are crammed into a single week, and to see the photographers, press, bloggers, models, etc. hustling from location to location each day. Thanks to my friends and Maybelline Japan, I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the shows I attended, and … Continue Reading

OUTFIT | Sleek black in the bright light

Hey guys, it’s been a long week for me last week, and I was hibernating a bit, refreshing myself for the upcoming week. Tokyo Fashion Week has started, and I’m planning on attending a few of the shows later in the week (excited!). Overall, I feel like winter is coming to an end, and so … Continue Reading

OUTFIT | Short hair & statement earrings (plus a video!)

And the bob becomes shorter. I think this is the shortest I’ve ever had my hair, and I absolutely love it. Having the perfect cut can really add a sophisticated touch to an outfit. And with my shorter ‘do, I thought it would be a good opportunity to try some statement earrings. I fell in … Continue Reading

OUTFIT | Prepping for spring in sporty casual

  Part deux of the weekend series, and finally sporting a spring-appropriate outfit! It took a while there… Anyways, if you’ve red my previous post, I introduced Pure Cafe and my blogger friend Yuka from Blossomlink, and here’s the outfit I wore to our brunch. If you couldn’t tell already, I am a pretty big … Continue Reading

OUTFIT | First signs of spring in Hibiya Park

  It’s been a long, cold winter in Tokyo, but Hibiya Park hinted at the first signs of spring. There were even some adorable ume blossoms, and others about to blossom. This past week was unusually hectic for me, running around to my various gigs, and rain in between doesn’t help with that either. That’s … Continue Reading

John Lennon-inspired

I picked up these round-frame sunglasses at Free People this past weekend for a really good deal (I <3 sales), and even though the lenses are larger, they do remind me of John Lennon’s. I used to think a lot of different frames weren’t fit for my face shape, but I realized maybe it was … Continue Reading

OUTFIT | Minimalist sorcery

Photo-shooting with Nahoko, round 2. It was Monday, I didn’t know what to wear on this chilly February day, so I threw together some of my favorite items at the moment. Sort of resembling a sorceress… not intentionally though. I almost wore my plaid scarf from Uniqlo until I realized it looked hideous with the … Continue Reading

Regimental stripes and fur

Just a few days ago, I experienced the first snow of the year in the Tokyo area. Even though the snow has melted already and the weather has improved, the winds are chilly and it’s hard to avoid a little red nose. Lisa of Paint with Stars was such a good sport this time around … Continue Reading

Morning sunlight in an urban playground

  When my photographer, Nahoko, brought me to this lifting outing in the somewhat discreet area of Nogizaka, my first thought was, “What the hell is this place?” A playground for adults, perhaps, I have no clue. This is definitely not a place for children (ha!). These wooden structures were so interesting, so modern, and … Continue Reading

A little black dress at the Imperial Hotel

Sometimes, even a girl like me enjoys getting dolled-up in a little black dress. Sheinside was kind enough to send me a LBD of my choice from my wishlist a little while back, and here it is. I thought this little dress would look better in a more refined setting, and the Imperial Hotel in Hibiya … Continue Reading
