OUTFIT | Autumn leaves and winter coats


(coat: Topshop; top: Topshop; denim: Le Ciel Bleu; boots: Target;
glasses chains: Alma chains; ring: Good After Nine; satchel: Kate Spade Saturday;





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 :)

thankful


 

 

 
 
And this is how I spent my Thanksgiving weekend. Koedo ("Little Edo") Kawagoe on Saturday afternoon, with a good friend to keep me company and take some great photos for me. We feasted on Unagi (eel), had lots of delicious dessert food as we walked around the streets of Koedo, then trekked over to Kawagoe Castle, the second castle in Japan that I've been to since I moved here. Everything was so beautiful. Life is beautiful and I am so happy to be alive. Just too thankful this year despite all of the ups and heavy downs this year.
 
 
 
More photos from this weekend coming soon in my next post. Hope your Thanksgiving weekend was enjoyable!
