It’s the first day of October and we’re back with more Paint with Stars Photography! After savoring some delicious french toast at Aaliyah cafe in Shinjuku, we snapped these shots in the middle of the streets. Sometimes the streets are blocked off for pedestrians in certain parts of Tokyo, and Ginza is also an … Continue Reading
Forever 21 has been one of my favorite places to shop since high school, and many years later I’m still shopping there for must-haves and style inspiration. This time, in collaboration with Forever 21 and VOGUE girl Japan online, I’ll be introducing my favorite item from the fall collection, which is this gray fitted knit … Continue Reading
It’s almost farewell to summer. But while it’s still around, I’m posting a summer festival style that can be worn going into fall. Farfetch Japan asked me to join their contest in collaboration with “Unfollow (#unfollowers),” or innovators who don’t follow trends but rather inspire others through their unique style. For the contest, I was asked to create … Continue Reading
I am ready for some summer fun, seriously. The pool, the beach in Izu, the hot springs in Hakone, somewhere. At least my birthday is coming up in a few week. もう夏の準備はできてるよー！プールでも海でもどこでもいいから、行きたい！来月の誕生日に、どこか行こうかな。 dress: Forever 21, headband: PUNYUS, bag: Zara, shoes: Vans, sunglasses: zero UV All photos by Paint with Stars Photography

Instead of layering with outerwear, I wanted to keep my outfit simple with a graphic sweater and some bermuda shorts, both from Forever 21. I’ve been shopping at Forever 21 a lot these … Continue Reading
Once in a while, I love adding some elegance to my look, and this was made possible with this chic Tobi bravado skirt. The asymmetrical hem is unique, which allows me to wear a short and longer length simultaneously, and not look too sexy or too modest. I accentuated the silhouette of the skirt with … Continue Reading
The rain comes and goes, and this was one of those days where it was pouring on us while we were trying to shoot. Luckily, Lisa and I found some decent locations where we could avoid the rain. One of the more high-end areas in Tokyo, Omotesando is probably one of my favorite places to … Continue Reading
Yesterday, I met up with my friend Lisa in Nakameguro to do a quick photo shoot with the pretty cherry blossoms near Meguro-bashi (Meguro Bridge). It was extremely windy that I thought our umbrellas were going to break! But the rain wasn’t that bad so we went on with the shoot and these are … Continue Reading

He is also the photographer who shot me in the blond wig in this post (photos coming soon!). I am so pleased with these photos … Continue Reading
