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

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.

Le Ciel Bleu

I recently started working Le Ciel Bleu, a clothing boutique featuring the brand Le Ciel Bleu along with import brands such as McQ and Elizabeth and James. I love working here because I get to wear their sample clothes, like the blazer and the dress pictured above (sorry for the bad picture quality – they … Continue Reading

Main Street

When I went to Main Street today, there was no way I could just walk by this vibrant wall without taking a  picture in front of it. Perfect since my outfit is the exact opposite of vibrant. But I still love the dress I picked up at H&M recently – I think it’ll be a … Continue Reading

Fashion Island x Hello, Emy

  I was lucky enough to collaborate with Emy, an amazing photographer & fellow blogger, for a photo shoot at Fashion Island. We both have a love for Brandy Melville, so we decided to use some of their pieces for the wardrobe for this shoot. It’s actually not easy to shoot at an outdoor shopping … Continue Reading

Black & gray

  After so many of my friends recommended that I watch The Dark Knight Rises, I gave in to the hype and saw it for myself. I gotta admit, I was drawn in to all of the thrill and suspense and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Since I knew the film was going to be over … Continue Reading
