When tomorrow comes

I’m so excited to share the photos from my shoot with Lisa, a photographer, writer and musician from Northern California. We shot at Rikyu Park in Shiodome, Tokyo. I had no idea this place existed – truly an amazing and gorgeous location. The weather was perfect, so perfect that I wasn’t freezing in this H&M … Continue Reading

Opposites attract

Here are a few more shots from the photo shoot in Toyosu. I never thought leather could be coordinated with something so fluffy, but it somehow worked. For this second look, the makeup artist and I were deciding how to arrange my hair, but we ended up leaving it alone. Meanwhile, the sun was setting, … Continue Reading

Pink is key

    I would have never thought to wear an outfit like this had it not been for my work. Le Ciel Bleu has changed my outlook on fashion immensely – the Samantha 2 months ago would not be wearing a knit hat of any color, especially bright pink. And with a pencil skirt. Sounds … Continue Reading

There is a place in the distance

I was so excited to receive the final images from my photo shoot with Kidperez Photography last weekend. We did two different looks, but I would have to say my favorite is the first one.

I recently started working Le Ciel Bleu, a clothing boutique featuring the brand Le Ciel Bleu along with import brands such as McQ and Elizabeth and James. I love working here because I get to wear their sample clothes, like the blazer and the dress pictured above (sorry for the bad picture quality – they … Continue Reading

Disneyland style

  I finally made my way to Carsland at California Adventures this weekend and I loved it. My friend and I got there right before the park opened but we still had to wait in line for an hour for the main attraction Radiator Springs Racers. It was worth the wait though. And it was … Continue Reading

Main Street

When I went to Main Street today, there was no way I could just walk by this vibrant wall without taking a  picture in front of it. Perfect since my outfit is the exact opposite of vibrant. But I still love the dress I picked up at H&M recently – I think it’ll be a … Continue Reading

Fashion Island x Hello, Emy

  I was lucky enough to collaborate with Emy, an amazing photographer & fellow blogger, for a photo shoot at Fashion Island. We both have a love for Brandy Melville, so we decided to use some of their pieces for the wardrobe for this shoot. It’s actually not easy to shoot at an outdoor shopping … Continue Reading
