A blue sky, a beautiful blue ocean and a slight breeze – these all describe the bay area of Yokohama, Japan. I was lucky enough to shoot with HAMAKIYA Shutter Underground (aka Jun) back in September to update my model portfolio since I chopped off my hair. Jun prepared the dress, which was made especially … Continue Reading
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting Japanese-Filipino blogger Kiko Cagayat. We met through Instagram and Lookbook.nu, and after a little mix-up of Starbucks locations in Shinjuku (trust me, there are too many near one station), we finally had a nice chat over coffee. Kiko is so friendly and polite, and has … Continue Reading
A new collaboration and giveaway courtesy of The Golden Heart Store! The Golden Heart Store is an online apparel store based in Germany that sells cute tanks and beanies. They were kind enough to send me the “Stay Golden” tank top, and the the navy “The Golden Heart Store” beanie. I decided to style both items … Continue Reading
I’m finally back from Okinawa, after 4 full days at the Satsang Yoga & Music Festival. I did bring my laptop with me so I could respond to comments and organize photos, but there just wasn’t as much time as I had hoped. I’ll be posting more about my trip very soon! Meanwhile, here is … Continue Reading
Here is part II in continuation from my last post featuring GOOD AFTER NINE, the coolest jewelry brand out there. I’m clad in all black yet again, but I wouldn’t have it any other way (most of the time). Especially in this duster cardigan I got at Zara earlier this season – I seriously fell … Continue Reading
It’s not too often I pull out my heels to play a little bit of dress up. Although this outfit is on the casual side with the simple trench coat and dress, I think the heels made a difference. I found these pastel blue heels at Zara and they are actually pretty comfortable! I went … Continue Reading
Please allow me to introduce Skyed Apparel – a quality hat brand based in Los Angeles, California. The name “skyed” represents the freedom and optimism for future possibilities, that “the sky is the limit.” I was immediately drawn to the unique designs and materials of their hats, especially this black corduroy “midnight” hat. The logo … Continue Reading
Even though the classic Vans checkered slip-on sneakers have been around for a while, it wasn’t until this year that I decided to finally buy my own pair. I grew up in Surf City, California, so these babies weren’t unfamiliar to me at all – the minute I slipped them on my feet, I felt … Continue Reading
You probably won’t believe me when I say it’s been raining all day today, because just a few days ago it was so sunny! I spent a quick afternoon in Okachimachi with Lisa the other day, a stop on the Yamanote line that I’ve actually never gotten off at before. It proved to be … Continue Reading
Yesterday, I met up with fellow blogger Ena for lunch at Urth Caffe in Omotesando. She is the most bubbly and sweetest girl ever! Her older sister has done my makeup for several test shoots since I moved to Tokyo – she is also very sweet and down-to-earth. We enjoyed an organic Italian omelette … Continue Reading
