Stand Out From The Crowd

Standing out from the crowd – this is actually tougher than it sounds. Some people are naturally gifted with extroverted personalities.

You say goodbye, and I say hello

Oftentimes, song lyrics are a form of comfort for me, especially when the going gets tough. I recently experienced something rather unpleasant, and while it was difficult for me to grasp at first, I’m already recovering swiftly thanks to a fabulous support system and some smarter, less emotional thinking on my end. I told myself, … Continue Reading

Wearing colors that you’re normally not used to wearing can be a boost of confidence.

Mixing the old with the new

You can never go wrong with an oversized, ankle-length cardigan. While there are many ways to style one, this time I opted for simple, yet quality pieces in my wardrobe.

Black & white nostalgia

Black & white photography immediately arouses feelings of nostalgia. I’m a pretty nostalgic person at heart, especially since I live a completely different life than I did until 4 years ago. モノクロ写真はノスタルジアを感じさせます。私自身が結構ノスタルジックになりがちで、東京に来る前の時期をいつも思い出します。 Forever 21 dress, Chiara Ferragni espadrilles, Are You Am I choker, zeroUV sunglasses         All photos by Gabriel Perez.
