Fall in Japan is gorgeous. Even in the city, you can experience the changes in season at countless parks, Kitanomaru Park being one of them. Lisa asked me if I would be interested in doing a fall-inspired photo shoot this weekend, adding that the foliage should be pretty around this time. And she was right. Leaves of all colors - red, orange, yellow, green - surrounded this little park. 

I've been looking for a new coat all season, and this faux fur poodle coat really coat my attention at Topshop. I wasn't planning to buy a brown coat (was looking around for a black or gray one), but the black on was not available in my size. Turns out, this camel one wasn't so bad - it actually gives off a vintage vibe that could work with some of the pieces in my closet. It went perfectly with the mini satchel bag courtesy of Kate Spade Saturday Japan :)

Having that perfect jacket or coat is so important, which is probably why it takes me so long until I find one. I mean, it is a pretty big investment! Here are some other cute selections of faux fur jackets and coats from Shopbop that I found (many of them are discounted!).

先日、カメラマンのリサさんの提案で、九段下の北の丸公園で今回のコーディネートの写真を撮ってもらいました。紅葉が旬の様で、ものすごく綺麗でした！今年の新しいコートをずっと探していたのですが、この前Topshopで買い物をしていたとき、このレトロ風のプードルフェークファーコートを発見。とても暖かく、今期は大活躍してくれそうなキャメルコートをチョイスしました。Kate Spade Saturday Japan から頂いたミニクロスボディーと相性抜群！フェークファーコートやジャケットをお探しの方は、私がShopbopでみつけたセレクションを是非見てみて下さい :)
