Venice Beach is the epitome of a Californian oceanside paradise. You got your cloudless clear blue skies, vast ocean, palm trees swaying in the wind, colorful graffiti walls (and palm trunks!), the quirky souvenir shops along the Boardwalk, cafes and clothing boutiques on Abbot Kinney… and the list goes on. My friend Tina introduced me … Continue Reading
My 2 weeks in Cali are whizzing by and weekend 1 of Coachella is right around the corner. I did have some time to check out the new shopping center near Huntington Beach Main Street. Pacific City opened recently, and I’m already loving the scenery and convenience the area has to offer. Now I wish … Continue Reading
Walking through Melrose brings back memories of my UCLA days. Just one more week in California and I feel like it’s going to fly by. 久しぶりにメルローズの道を歩くと、UCLA通ってた頃が懐かしくなる。カリフォルニア滞在残り一週間。時間はあっという間に過ぎそう。１日１日を大切に過ごしたいな。 jacket: Comptoir des Cotonniers; top: Bershka; jeans: Moussy; sandals: Steve Madden; clutch: Dezso
Enjoyed an afternoon at the beach today with my brother. I wish I was more of a beach girl growing up, but I’m still spoiled for being able to enjoy some California sun right before Christmas. Our bathing suits are courtesy of Billabong Japan – thank you! We love Billabong <3 今日は弟と冬のビーチを楽しんできました。クリスマス前に水着着て海へ行けるのは、本当に贅沢だなーと今更思う。水着とトランクスはBillabong Japanから頂いたものです。Billabong 大好き！ … Continue Reading
While my friend Amy was in SoCal with me, she decided to spend a night at the trendy Line Hotel in LA. It was such a chic little hotel! The lounge & bar area was spacious and clean, and as you can sort of tell, we loved the sofas. It’s a little lonely without Amy … Continue Reading
With my friend Amy visiting my hometown of Huntington Beach for a couple days, it makes me see the city in a slightly different light.

My last few days in Orange County were spent shopping, walking around Main Street in Huntington Beach, and catching up with my friends over good food and drinks. Also, a family dinner at Tokyo Table consisting of American-style sushi. I already miss the summer weather despite it being winter, my family, and my friends. But … Continue Reading
I didn’t realize Catalina Island was such a beautiful place until my family and I visited a few days ago. It was one of my father’s favorite places, and now I can see why. I’ll be back again, Dad.
My first few days back in Southern California mainly consisted of good food and reuniting with my favorite people – photo shooting in L.A., lunch with my brother, hotpot dinner at Boiling Point with friends, Bruxie’s waffle sandwiches with my best friend of 10 years, shaved ice, boba, and the night view from the 405. … Continue Reading

Disneyland with my brother and cousins, family dinner at Tortilla Jo’s Downtown Disney, dinner, boba and shopping dates with my amazing friends, and a cozy family dinner with my mom and brother at Black Angus. A lot more people I wanted to see and a lot … Continue Reading
