It’s not too often I pull out my heels to play a little bit of dress up. Although this outfit is on the casual side with the simple trench coat and dress, I think the heels made a difference. I found these pastel blue heels at Zara and they are actually pretty comfortable! I went … Continue Reading
Please allow me to introduce Skyed Apparel – a quality hat brand based in Los Angeles, California. The name “skyed” represents the freedom and optimism for future possibilities, that “the sky is the limit.” I was immediately drawn to the unique designs and materials of their hats, especially this black corduroy “midnight” hat. The logo … Continue Reading
Even though the classic Vans checkered slip-on sneakers have been around for a while, it wasn’t until this year that I decided to finally buy my own pair. I grew up in Surf City, California, so these babies weren’t unfamiliar to me at all – the minute I slipped them on my feet, I felt … Continue Reading
You probably won’t believe me when I say it’s been raining all day today, because just a few days ago it was so sunny! I spent a quick afternoon in Okachimachi with Lisa the other day, a stop on the Yamanote line that I’ve actually never gotten off at before. It proved to be … Continue Reading
Yesterday, I met up with fellow blogger Ena for lunch at Urth Caffe in Omotesando. She is the most bubbly and sweetest girl ever! Her older sister has done my makeup for several test shoots since I moved to Tokyo – she is also very sweet and down-to-earth. We enjoyed an organic Italian omelette … Continue Reading
Thank you so much for the encouraging and insightful comments on my last diary post! I’m so glad I added that little segment in my blog.

So what I really … Continue Reading
Remember the photo shoot I did with Lisa from Paint with Stars back in July? I forgot to mention that Fashion One TV was shooting live footage of the shoot, and it is now up on Youtube! I’ve never had a video taken for any of my photo shoots, so this one was special for me. Lisa and I … Continue Reading
September is here – already! Did you all enjoy your last month of summer? I feel like summer this year went by way too quickly… I mean, I did see fireworks, ate watermelon, wore my yukata, but I still haven’t stepped foot on the beach. How crazy is that?? I guess one can’t do … Continue Reading
Just a quick post of an OOTD from a few weeks ago. One of my good friends gave me this American Apparel top for my birthday, and since it was becoming really humid by mid July, I decided to coordinate an outfit that would keep me cool in this heat. That’s when my Levi’s … Continue Reading
