I actually haven’t met too many bloggers in LA or Tokyo yet (which is pretty sad…), but I was fortunate enough to meet Yuka from Pretty In Leather over some delicious Greek cuisine. She is such a sweet girl, probably what I imagined her to be even though I’ve only known her through her blog … 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
Do any of you miss the fall foliage that just recently ended? I do, mainly because I hear it has already snowed in Tokyo, and also, you can’t really experience the change of seasons in Southern California (palm trees and greenery all year round). I did another photo shoot with Canadian photographer Jason Mordeno, who … Continue Reading
Day 2 in California, and I’m already enjoying the weather, food and my family & friends. I grabbed a quick lunch with my mom at Main Street Waffle in Huntington Beach, met up with an old friend at milk & honey in Costa Mesa, and picked up my friend Amy at LAX. I’m so glad … Continue Reading
Fall in Japan is gorgeous. Even in the city, you can experience the changes in season at countless parks, Kitanomaru Park being one of them. Lisa asked me if I would be interested in doing a fall-inspired photo shoot this weekend, adding that the foliage should be pretty around this time. And she was right. … Continue Reading
A blue sky, a beautiful blue ocean and a slight breeze – these all describe the bay area of Yokohama, Japan. I was lucky enough to shoot with HAMAKIYA Shutter Underground (aka Jun) back in September to update my model portfolio since I chopped off my hair. Jun prepared the dress, which was made especially … Continue Reading
 This past weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting Japanese-Filipino blogger Kiko Cagayat. We met through Instagram and Lookbook.nu, and after a little mix-up of Starbucks locations in Shinjuku (trust me, there are too many near one station), we finally had a nice chat over coffee. Kiko is so friendly and polite, and has … Continue Reading
A new collaboration and giveaway courtesy of The Golden Heart Store! The Golden Heart Store is an online apparel store based in Germany that sells cute tanks and beanies. They were kind enough to send me the “Stay Golden” tank top, and the the navy “The Golden Heart Store” beanie. I decided to style both items … Continue Reading
I’m finally back from Okinawa, after 4 full days at the Satsang Yoga & Music Festival. I did bring my laptop with me so I could respond to comments and organize photos, but there just wasn’t as much time as I had hoped. I’ll be posting more about my trip very soon! Meanwhile, here is … Continue Reading
Here is part II in continuation from my last post featuring GOOD AFTER NINE, the coolest jewelry brand out there. I’m clad in all black yet again, but I wouldn’t have it any other way (most of the time). Especially in this duster cardigan I got at Zara earlier this season – I seriously fell … Continue Reading
