Black lace dress

A black slip dress is a more versatile piece than most think. Once it gets a little cooler, I plan to layer it with a plain white tee or even a pair of jeans. And the elegant lace neckline in this one just goes so well with my chokers♡ 黒のスリップワンピースは、以外と万能なアイテムなんです。もうちょっと涼しくなったら、白Tシャツをインしたり、デニムと一緒に着てみたりしようかなと思ってます。エレガントなレースのネックラインがチョーカーと相性がいいので、お気に入りです♡ dress: OZOC; jacket: Vintage Levi’s; shoes: … Continue Reading

An all-black uniform

I’m currently reading 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami and it’s one of the most interesting reads I’ve had in a while. I decided to start reading it without reading any summaries or reviews, and it was nothing like I had expected, which is a good thing. Sometimes picking up a book and not expecting the expected … Continue Reading

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

Tropical thunder

In the concrete jungle called Tokyo, I’m sporting my new finds at the Zara sale along with my current favorites from zeroUV and Are You Am I. Don’t underestimate those summer sales, man. 東京というコンクリートのジャングルの中で、Zaraのセールで見つけたアイテムを着用。更に、最近毎日のように着回してるキャップとチョーカーは、それぞれzeroUVとAre You Am Iからです。サマーセールは侮れないね。 T-shirt: Zara; pants: Zara; wedges: Zara; cap: zeroUV; choker: Are You Am I; bag: Metrocity; watch: Fossil

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
