Mixing the old with the new

You can never go wrong with an oversized, ankle-length cardigan. While there are many ways to style one, this time I opted for simple, yet quality pieces in my wardrobe. My favorite Rag & Bone tee, a pleather skirt, my mom’s old LV purse, a silver bangle with a leather wrap-around from Spanish jewelry brand … Continue Reading

Black & white nostalgia

Black & white photography immediately arouses feelings of nostalgia. I’m a pretty nostalgic person at heart, especially since I live a completely different life than I did until 4 years ago. モノクロ写真はノスタルジアを感じさせます。私自身が結構ノスタルジックになりがちで、東京に来る前の時期をいつも思い出します。 Forever 21 dress, Chiara Ferragni espadrilles, Are You Am I choker, zeroUV sunglasses         All photos by Gabriel Perez.  

Pleated blue velvet

From the previous weekend when I had a delicious buffet-style brunch at the Shinjuku Park Hyatt. A girl has to spoil herself sometimes, you know? 先週末、新宿のパークハイアットでビュッフェスタイルブランチより。たまには自分にご褒美してもいいよね。 Top & bottom: Bershka; hat: Moussy; bag: Metrocity; choker: Asos; watch: Klasse 14; shoes: Adidas       

Black lace dress

A black slip dress is a more versatile piece than most think. Once it gets a little cooler, I plan to layer it with a plain white tee or even a pair of jeans. And the elegant lace neckline in this one just goes so well with my chokers♡ 黒のスリップワンピースは、以外と万能なアイテムなんです。もうちょっと涼しくなったら、白Tシャツをインしたり、デニムと一緒に着てみたりしようかなと思ってます。エレガントなレースのネックラインがチョーカーと相性がいいので、お気に入りです♡ dress: OZOC; jacket: Vintage Levi’s; shoes: … Continue Reading

An all-black uniform

I’m currently reading 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami and it’s one of the most interesting reads I’ve had in a while. I decided to start reading it without reading any summaries or reviews, and it was nothing like I had expected, which is a good thing. Sometimes picking up a book and not expecting the expected … Continue Reading

Shades of burgundy

I absolutely love wearing dark colors, so fall & winter trends and color palettes are naturally my favorite. And these Asos sock boots and Metrocity quilt bag arrived just in time. Pairing these red hues with a mix of darks and lights made them stand out even more. I love how the bag can become … Continue Reading

Sporty black mesh

  I haven’t taken a real summer vacation since I graduated college, so a rare outing is the closest to one for me. And this was also a rare occasion where a photographer and I took 5 hours worth of public transportation to get to a certain location. Can you guess where this is? Hakone … Continue Reading

Flared all over

The transition between August and September, from summer to fall, is probably one of my favorites of the year. Adding touches of fall to my outfits is also something I look forward to. While I would never wear fitted pants during the sweltering heat of summer, now I can opt for denim and still feel … Continue Reading

Rio de Sol Brazilian swimwear

September is approaching, and summer is coming to an end. Summer seems never-ending, but before you know it, fall arrives and it’s back to school, back to work. I was lucky to have been able to visit one of Japan’s beaches for a photo shoot, and luckier that Rio de Sol sent me this swimwear … Continue Reading

Summer vibes in Japan

It’s nearly impossible to be surrounded by this much greenery whilst in Tokyo – the 3-hour trip near the coast of Chiba was well worth it. This hibiscus-print setup from Zaful looks way better against the green, anyway.  東京に住んでると、ここまでの新緑に囲まれることはないので、3時間かけて千葉県の海岸沿いまで行ったかいがありました。Zafulのハイビスカス柄のセットアップは緑を背景に撮った方が色が全然綺麗に見えるしね。 Set-up: Zaful; sunglasses: zeroUV; earrings: Beach Closet; choker: Zara; shoes: See by Chloe (Farfetch) All photos by Lasse … Continue Reading
