Velvet & violet

There are so many ways to dress up a fur coat, but there are also just as many ways to style it down. I actually like how a plush violet faux-fur coat looks with light-wash denim. I got this pair at the Moussy opening renewal party in Harajuku, and they are my favorite right now. And my velvet open-back top makes its debut after, what, 5 years?? Purchased back during my college days, I loved how it looked but I couldn't find a great way to style it. It definitely looks good with high-waisted denim and some gold accents.

Don't forget to check out my photographer's other work here at www.36neex.com! I love how these photos turned out despite the limited time we had to shoot. Thanks Yoshi!

ファーコートを上品に着る方法はたくさんありますが、カジュアルダウンすることも全然できます。このフェークファーのバイオレットコートは今期のお気に入りで、ライトウォッシュのデニムと相性がいい。デニムは、Moussy原宿店のリニューアルパーティーでゲットしたもの。そして、このオープンバックのベルベットトップスはなんと、５年ぐらい前に買ってからの初登場！多分、大学生の時に買ったのかな。すごく可愛いんだけど、どう上手に着ればいいか分からなくて。。でも、ハイウエストのデニムとゴールドのアクセントでいい感じにスタイリングできたと思います♡

写真を撮ってくれたカメラマンのサイトもこちらで是非チェックしてあげてね！撮影時間、実はすごく短かったんだけど、良い仕上がりで嬉しいです♪ありがとう！

shinokubo street style

(hoodie: Life is a Joke x Eleven Paris; sweats: Zara; shoes: Converse;

beanie: old; clutch: Wego)

photo cred: Arisa

I feel like Sundays are meant to be dressed down, which is why I grabbed the most comfortable pieces in my closet.

I finally spent some quality time with my good friend Arisa in Shinokubo. We stuffed ourselves with delicious Korean BBQ and hottoku, and chatted away for 3 hours straight.

Love you girl!

Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend :)

Love,

matsuri in asakusa

(shirt: Topshop; skirt: Zara; shoes: Converse; clutch: Gap; hat: Wego;

bangle: Giles and Brother)

My co-worker Alisa invited me to the Sanja Matsuri (三社祭り）in Asakusa, which was perfect because I have been wanting to go to Asakusa for quite some time now. It was even better with all of the festivities, booths, and good food. When I go to events like these, I feel grateful that I live in this wonderful city (but I do miss California a lot!). And can I say what gorgeous weather? I'm looking forward to summer in Japan :)

Love,

(Outfit 2 shirt: WEGO; pants: Gap; jacket: Le Ciel Bleu; boots: Doc Martens)

(Outfit 3 sweater and jeans: Le Ciel Bleu; beanie: Loaves; flats: ZARA)

I'm starting to realize my style changes every time I post an Instagram outfit post...

This post features two of my favorite items for the spring season - my gray cotton sweater and black & white stadium jacket, both from Le Ciel Bleu. And hopefully I'll have more outfits with my tapered denim next time (it's SO comfortable!).

And a remix I'm currently hooked on<3
