Shades of burgundy

I absolutely love wearing dark colors, so fall & winter trends and color palettes are naturally my favorite. And these Asos sock boots and Metrocity quilt bag arrived just in time. Pairing these red hues with a mix of darks and lights made them stand out even more. I love how the bag can become … Continue Reading

Sporty black mesh

  I haven’t taken a real summer vacation since I graduated college, so a rare outing is the closest to one for me. And this was also a rare occasion where a photographer and I took 5 hours worth of public transportation to get to a certain location. Can you guess where this is? Hakone … Continue Reading

Flared all over

The transition between August and September, from summer to fall, is probably one of my favorites of the year. Adding touches of fall to my outfits is also something I look forward to. While I would never wear fitted pants during the sweltering heat of summer, now I can opt for denim and still feel … Continue Reading

Summer vibes in Japan

It’s nearly impossible to be surrounded by this much greenery whilst in Tokyo – the 3-hour trip near the coast of Chiba was well worth it. This hibiscus-print setup from Zaful looks way better against the green, anyway.  東京に住んでると、ここまでの新緑に囲まれることはないので、3時間かけて千葉県の海岸沿いまで行ったかいがありました。Zafulのハイビスカス柄のセットアップは緑を背景に撮った方が色が全然綺麗に見えるしね。 Set-up: Zaful; sunglasses: zeroUV; earrings: Beach Closet; choker: Zara; shoes: See by Chloe (Farfetch) All photos by Lasse … Continue Reading

When your T-shirt speaks your mind

How easy life would be if the T-shirt you are wearing can speak your mind for you. At least that’s what Anji of Salz Tokyo thinks. She created her original T-shirts because sometimes it’s awkward to actually say what you really think in words, so a humorous T-shirt will do the trick. I actually haven’t … Continue Reading

Light-reflecting

Experimenting with light and shadows with Rhino, wearing my favorite T-shirt, choker, jeans, sunglasses, and – well basically everything. And when the ridiculous humidity calls for nothing else but a T-shirt + jeans kind of look everyday for the rest of the summer, I’ll stick to my SoCal beach casual. This article by Tokyo fashion … Continue Reading

Chiffon, lace and bows

Today’s my first full day off since my birthday, and it feels so good to finally spend my morning like it’s Sunday. Doing a lot of odd jobs these days, including modeling, blogging, narrating, sometimes singing, sometimes translating, sometimes teaching… it means my schedule changes weekly and I’ll sometimes work weekends and get random days … Continue Reading

IVY PARK in Shibuya

So there’s a funny story behind this tank top. When I was visiting my hometown of Huntington Beach back in April, I went shopping at Nordstrom on a Thursday, right before Weekend 1 of Coachella. I had no idea Beyonce’s new co-founded brand, Ivy Park, had just launched that day, so I obviously thought nothing … Continue Reading

Black bodysuit (featuring Wearall)

Show some skin this summer with a bodysuit. I got this Leora halter neck backless bodysuit from Wearall, an online shop with a great selection of dresses and bodysuits. While a bodysuit can be worn on its own, it looks great with a pair of jeans or shorts. I paired mine with my favorite Moussy … Continue Reading
