Busy streets of Shibuya

I had another fun shoot with Lisa this weekend in Shibuya. This alma mater jacket from my work is from Spring/Summer, but I paired it with some more recent Zara picks and my Converse hightops that I’ve owned since my university days.  Funny how they come in handy, like, 2 years later. I don’t know if … Continue Reading

In love with…

Currently obsessed with this striped flare dress from Le Ciel Bleu. The minute I tried it on, I knew it was the perfect dress – sophisticated & elegant, a piece that could be worn both day & night. Still debating whether I should buy it or not.. but extremely tempted! The photographer at my work … Continue Reading

Back to black

I went back to black… literally. I got a new do this weekend and decided to sort of go back to my natural hair color (black) and sport some bangs again. Like I said in my last post, I can’t get enough of black. The heels and blazer I’m wearing here are a bit old, … Continue Reading

Trend: plaid

For some odd reason, I’m really attracted to black clothing this season, probably because it goes well with most of my favorite A/W trends such as this plaid shirt I’m wearing from Le Ciel Bleu. There’s a little gradation detail going on that I couldn’t capture well on camera, but it’s quite unique. And the … Continue Reading

Tuesday mornings

One of those rare mornings where I have a few extra minutes to snap photos of myself right before heading off to work. It’s just starting to become less humid out here in Tokyo, so I opted for my shoulder-less cropped top from F21 with a pencil skirt from Zara (hopefully I’ll have a full … Continue Reading

Girls day in Odaiba

  This week was a hectic blur it seemed like – work always keeps me busy and having other small jobs on the side doesn’t really make it any better. And my good friend who had been doing her year abroad in Tokyo stayed a few nights at my place this week before she left … Continue Reading

Still a California girl

  I spent a relaxing Friday at Daikanyama with my photographer friend, who took these photos for me. Having a nice lunch at Urth Caffe and carrying around my favorite Dezso clutch doesn’t really make me miss California all that much. Have a great weekend everyone!  (Shirt:old from Urban Outfitters; shorts: uniqlo; clutch: Dezso; sandals: … Continue Reading

It’s summertime and the living’s easy

      Yesterday, my friend had a used clothing sale at her place, and I ended up snagging this cute floral-print dress for free 🙂 I never have enough summer dresses, so it was the perfect addition to my wardrobe. My recent addition is the photo app called “Afterlight,” which I used for these … Continue Reading

Skater girl

I feel like I say this every time I do a photo shoot, but this is seriously by far one of my favorite shoots. I shot with Lisa last autumn and we finally scheduled this little shoot in Harajuku. Her friend Chihiro did my hair and makeup in her studio and we ventured out in … Continue Reading

A taste of Jamaica

    I didn’t think I’d go to two festivals this weekend, but I’m so glad I did! My good friend Marie told me about this Jamaican Festival at Yoyogi Park and I immediately told her I wanted to go. Apparently there are several international festivals at Yoyogi Park, and last week was the Thai … Continue Reading
