The long-awaited cherry blossom season has finally arrived, and it's looking a lot more like spring in Tokyo. Lisa from Paint with Stars and I have been shooting during cherry blossom season (check out our post from last year), and this year turned out to be even better weather-wise. Ueno park was lively with tourists and families trying to enjoy and capture the beauty of sakura on their cameras as well. These distinct changes of seasons are what make me proud to be Japanese, and to be able to live in Japan to savor it all.

Last week, I received a few items from the French brand Comptoir des Cotonniers, and these boyfriend jeans were one of them. These are the best boyfriend-fit jeans hands down - perfect fit,  perfect wash, perfect length. I rolled mine up a bit to balance them out with my heels. Some of my Uniqlo pieces from last season went perfectly with the denim. Perfect for a stroll in the park underneath the pink blossoms:)

桜が咲きましたね！お花見をした方も多かったみたいです。私とリサさんは、上野公園の桜を見に、やってきました。観光客や家族連れでにぎわっていました！流石日本の桜田なーと、改めて思いました。こういう時、日本人でよかった、日本に住んでて幸せだ、と思います。

先日、コントワー・デ・コトニエからデニムなど、可愛いアイテムをたくさん頂きました。今回は、コントワーのボーイフレンドデニムでコーデを組んでみました。フィット感と長さがちょうどいい、パーフェクトなデニムです。ユニクロのスェットとトレンチ、そしてスティーブ・マデンのヒールでちょっと大人っぽく。公園でのお散歩にぴったり♪

皆さんも桜を満喫していますか？Happy spring!
