Regimental stripes and fur

Just a few days ago, I experienced the first snow of the year in the Tokyo area. Even though the snow has melted already and the weather has improved, the winds are chilly and it’s hard to avoid a little red nose. Lisa of Paint with Stars was such a good sport this time around … Continue Reading

Earth tones in Kichijoji

One of my good friends is leaving the country for a month, so I’m glad I got to spend some time with him this evening in Kichijoji, aka the most popular place to live in Tokyo. My first time in Kichijoji and I loved it. We had hot wine with honey & cinnamon, strolled through … Continue Reading

OUTFIT | Falling leaves in Shinjuku Gyoen with Jason Mordeno Photography

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

OUTFIT | black on black

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

Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Gradient sunglasses

I finally got a 4-day weekend for Obon (Japanese summer holiday), so I was happy to have more time to finish up other work (sort of haha.. ) and some time to myself. I met up with Lisa again this weekend for a quick outfit shoot and a meeting for an upcoming photo shoot project. … Continue Reading

Tokyo streets – Ginza

      A couple weeks ago, I met up with Saq and his friend for a quick photo shoot in the busy streets of Ginza on a Friday afternoon. He was traveling to Tokyo for work, but wanted to do some photo shoots for fun as well. We didn’t have too much time to … Continue Reading

Replay

TGIF! I’m so glad it’s finally the weekend, even though it’s gotten chilly again in Tokyo. The temperature outside yesterday was in the single digits, but I still wanted to wear my favorite cropped top with my new tapered denim from my work, Le Ciel Bleu. I decided to get them because they are soft … Continue Reading

On to Melrose

It’s been almost 2 years since I’ve stopped by Melrose and it feels great to be back. After having lunch with my brother at Umami Burger, we went to Freak Chic Piercings & Tattoos because I’ve been wanting another piercing (I have 10 now… yes I’m addicted). Thanks to my brother, I finally have photos … Continue Reading

Black & gray

  After so many of my friends recommended that I watch The Dark Knight Rises, I gave in to the hype and saw it for myself. I gotta admit, I was drawn in to all of the thrill and suspense and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Since I knew the film was going to be over … Continue Reading

Simple

I’ve been wanting these Zara heels ever since they came out, maybe earlier this year or last year. Luckily, I found these yesterday, the last pair that happened to be my size, and for almost half the original price! I knew I couldn’t miss these a second time. I can’t wait to pair these with … Continue Reading
