Last month, I took a much-needed two-week vacation to LA/OC. While there, I revisited some places I frequented in my younger days to write a piece for Cosmopolitan Japan titled, “Top 5 Date Spots in Southern California.” But there was one location I was dying to visit ever since I saw it featured on Rumi … Continue Reading
When you’ve lived away from home sweet home for over 5 years like I have, you start getting behind on the new, trendy hang out spots and eateries. During my recent trip to L.A. & O.C., I was fortunate enough to meet with many of my local friends who’ve introduced me to a variety of … Continue Reading
During my 2 week stay in the states, I flew out to Dallas, TX directly from NYC to visit my relatives there. The last time I visited Texas was during Christmas when I was still a little girl, so you could say I had no knowledge of the Dallas area. My aunt, uncle and cousin … Continue Reading

NYC – the city of dreams, never-ending energy, and so much life.

I always love shopping at The LAB in Costa Mesa because of how hipster it is and the perfect … Continue Reading
During my first weekend in California, I drove up to Las Vegas to see David Guetta at the XS Club at Wynn Resorts. Vegas is definitely a crazy party scene, I’m not sure how else to put it. But David Guetta and surprise guest Bebe Rexha were definitely worth the trip there. Next time, I’m … Continue Reading
Lounging around in my room at the Line Hotel a few weeks ago, in all adidas. I picked up these Originals By Rita Ora kimono print leggings at Urban Outfitters, intrigued by the traditional Japanese design.
