OUTFIT | Army & retro-inspired at Ebisu Garden Place

Spring / summer is the perfect season to sport your sunglasses. ZeroUV, a brand from Orange County, California, sent me some stylish shades for the upcoming season, and I was only too thrilled to feature them 🙂 These retro round frames are ideal for dressing up an outfit because of the elegant metallic mesh cat-eye … Continue Reading

OUTFIT | After the cherry blossoms in casual layers

Cherry blossom season has come to an end, as with the warmer weather we were all expecting for spring. Since I had already taken most of my winter overcoats and sweaters out to the dry cleaners, the chilly weather has got me layering up again – coat over jacket, topped with hat and scarf. And … Continue Reading

OUTFIT | Cherry blossom viewing in trench coats & denim

The long-awaited cherry blossom season has finally arrived, and it’s looking a lot more like spring in Tokyo. Lisa from Paint with Stars and I have been shooting during cherry blossom season (check out our post from last year), and this year turned out to be even better weather-wise. Ueno park was lively with tourists and … Continue Reading

Tokyo Fashion Week 2015 Fall/Winter

And like that, Fashion Week is over. It’s so crazy how all the shows and installments are crammed into a single week, and to see the photographers, press, bloggers, models, etc. hustling from location to location each day. Thanks to my friends and Maybelline Japan, I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the shows I attended, and … Continue Reading

MBFW Tokyo – Black & white stripes

I can’t believe how quickly the week sped by, and that Fashion Week Tokyo is coming to an end. These are some photos from my first official day at Fashion Week after the House of Holland show. I ran into bloggers Junko Suzuki of Kawaii Labo Tokyo and Anji Salz. They are both such talented … Continue Reading

OUTFIT | Short hair & statement earrings (plus a video!)

And the bob becomes shorter. I think this is the shortest I’ve ever had my hair, and I absolutely love it. Having the perfect cut can really add a sophisticated touch to an outfit. And with my shorter ‘do, I thought it would be a good opportunity to try some statement earrings. I fell in … Continue Reading

OUTFIT | First signs of spring in Hibiya Park

  It’s been a long, cold winter in Tokyo, but Hibiya Park hinted at the first signs of spring. There were even some adorable ume blossoms, and others about to blossom. This past week was unusually hectic for me, running around to my various gigs, and rain in between doesn’t help with that either. That’s … Continue Reading

John Lennon-inspired

I picked up these round-frame sunglasses at Free People this past weekend for a really good deal (I <3 sales), and even though the lenses are larger, they do remind me of John Lennon’s. I used to think a lot of different frames weren’t fit for my face shape, but I realized maybe it was … Continue Reading

OUTFIT | Minimalist sorcery

Photo-shooting with Nahoko, round 2. It was Monday, I didn’t know what to wear on this chilly February day, so I threw together some of my favorite items at the moment. Sort of resembling a sorceress… not intentionally though. I almost wore my plaid scarf from Uniqlo until I realized it looked hideous with the … Continue Reading
