stripes & denim at the sanja matsuri in asakusa


(dress: H&M; vest: Forever 21; purse: Suzutan; shoes: New Balance)


It's matsuri (festival) season again, and I was so excited to go to the Sanja Matsuri in Asakusa for the 2nd year in a row with my friend Alisa. The weather was perfect, a great start to the weekend. We stuffed ourselves with too much food, but somehow still managed to find room in our stomaches for dessert. Since I knew it would be warm and the day would consist of mostly walking, I opted for this striped H&M dress with my old Forever 21 denim which I haven't worn in forever, and adding some comfortable color with my New Balances. 


Also, I'd like to announce the winner for the Eden the Collection giveaway, which ended on Thursday. Congratulations to Becky Young on winning the blue leopard tassel kimono!
Thanks all for entering the giveaway!!


Hope you all are enjoying your weekend :)





Love,

Samantha Mariko
