summer favorites

I decided I wanted to share my favorite summer accessories, and they all have a common theme: neon orange. Summer should be all about the bright, vibrant colors to match the warm weather. My favorite (as you can tell from my previous posts) is my Deszo by Sara Beltran clutch that I got at Restir Surfside - the orange piping detail is subtle and I love the palm tree print. Reminds me of the California beaches back home! And I just recently received the Deux Lux clutch as a late birthday gift - I think it's so adorable. Last but not least, my Plush Lush makeup bag that I got on sale at Shibuya Scramble (sorry, couldn't find it online!). It fits just about everything very snugly. I wish summer wouldn't end so quickly so I can keep using these items! But alas, it is already the middle of August...

 

 

What are you favorite items this summer? Please share in your comment :)

I spent a relaxing Friday at Daikanyama with my photographer friend, who took these photos for me. Having a nice lunch at Urth Caffe and carrying around my favorite Dezso clutch doesn't really make me miss California all that much.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Yesterday, my friend had a used clothing sale at her place, and I ended up snagging this cute floral-print dress for free :) I never have enough summer dresses, so it was the perfect addition to my wardrobe. 

My recent addition is the photo app called "Afterlight," which I used for these photos. I think the filters are better than Instagram's. I definitely recommend this app! So fun to use :)

It's getting quite humid over here in Tokyo these days, but I'm so excited to spend this summer in Japan. Bring on the heat! 

Have a great week everyone!

Love,
