An all-black affair (featuring FAKUI & Aviv Kinel)

Just as much as I love clothes, I do love a good accessory. This otherwise plain black outfit was spiced up thanks to this woven silver chains pendant necklace from Aviv Kinel and these cute pom pom socks from FAKUI. The necklace is made from hand-woven cotton with very intricate details going on. I can see myself wearing it in the summer as well with a summer dress and even just a T-shirt and shorts. Check out the rest of her items in her Etsy Shop here.

Around the end of last year, I visited the first FAKUI exhibition, whose designer I've worked with in the same company previously. I am so excited for her launch of FAKUI, and I'm pretty sure my FAKUI sock collection will be increasing in quantity. There were so many cute socks it was hard to choose! 

I'm a huge fan of gold jewelry, but I completed a clean, silver look and matched the Aviv Kinel necklace with silver-framed sunnies from ZeroUV. Easily my favorite sunglasses brand :) What's your favorite accessory brand? Let me know in the comments!

洋服を集めるのは大好きですが、可愛いアクセサリーも欠かせないです。この手作りのAviv Kinelのネックレスと、FAKUIのポンポンソックスを合わせていなければ、このコーデは結構つまらないものになっていたと思います。ネックレスは、手作りのコットンでできていて、ディテールもとても細やかです。夏はサマードレスと合わせたり、Tシャツとショートパンツに合わせて付けたいですね！彼女のEtsy Shopにも他のアクセサリー見れますよ！

去年の秋に、FAKUI初の展示会に行ってきました。デザイナーさんとは、以前同じ会社で働いていたので、新しいブランドのローンチはとても楽しみにしていました。私のFAKUIの靴下コレクションも増えていくかも。全部可愛すぎて、選ぶのが大変！

普段はゴールドのアクセサリーを身につけることが多いですが、今回はネックレスに合わせて、サングラスもシルバーのフレームのものにしました。ZeroUVはいつでもNo.1のサングラスブランドです♡

Hey guys, it's been a long week for me last week, and I was hibernating a bit, refreshing myself for the upcoming week. Tokyo Fashion Week has started, and I'm planning on attending a few of the shows later in the week (excited!). Overall, I feel like winter is coming to an end, and so many new opportunities, events and changes are taking place everywhere with spring approaching.

Although the weather has been much more promising, it's still chilly and I can't part with my winter coats just yet. These photos are from a few days ago, and I guess I was in the mood to clad myself in all black (not a surprise coming from me, haha). I just really love these pointed loafers I got on sale at the Tokyu Shibuya Scramble. Just casually browsing through, and just my luck, chic flats in my size and under 7000 yen ($70). It's so so hard to find my shoe size in Japan because women here have such tiny feet and of course I have feet of a giant's. I think these shoes were meant to be. Does that every happen to you, or is it just me? :)

皆さんは良い週末を過ごせましたか？先週末から東京ファッションウィークがスタートしましたね。私も今週いくつかのランウェーを見に行くつもりです！

３月に入り、やっと暖かくなってきました。でも、やはりまだコートは必要ですね。数日前も、このようにオールブラックのコーディネートにまたもや片寄ってしまいました。黒はいつでもシックに着こなせるので、欠かせないですね。。今度はもうちょっと春っぽい服を着ます！（笑）でも、渋谷スクランブルでゲットしたこのポイントトーローファーは履きたくて。サイズもぴったり、しかも７０００円以下！！My new favorite item.
