Fujifilm New "Instax Share" launch event

Polaroids never go out of style. Although we live in an age where we can upload photos in seconds on our smartphones, the vintage feel of a simple polaroid is still sought after, even for SNS use. Fujifilm released the "Instax Share," which is the handiest of devices for Instax lovers. You take a photo on your phone and print it out in polaroid form within 10 seconds using the free app. Pretty cool, right? Several Japanese influencers had their "Instax Share" photos displayed at the event and shared their thoughts on the new product. Now all I need to do is get my hands on an Instax :) I had a great time catching up with my friend RinRin at the event!

チェキは昔も今も大人気。今の時代は、数秒でスマホの画像をアップロードできますが、それでもビンテージな感じのチェキは求められているんです。富士フィルムが今回発売した「Instax Share」は、チェキ好きにはたまらないアイテム！スマホで写真を撮り、無料アプリを通して、１０秒以内でチェキとして印刷できるという優れものです。GENKINGさん、ハリー杉山さんなど、様々なインフルエンサーや芸能人の方が、Instax Shareで撮ったものを展示しており、使い心地についてトークもしていました。私もチェキが欲しくなった！友達のリンリンと久々にイベントを楽しむことができて良かったよ♡

Kate Spade Saturday 2014 AW Collection Launch Party

(Jacket: Zara (similar here); T-shirt: Uniqlo (similar here); 

pants: Le Ciel Bleu (similar here & here); shoes: Vans)

Tonight, my friend Amy and I attended the launch party for the Kate Spade Saturday 2014 AW Collection. I can't believe I've never shopped at this store! So many cute & affordable items for fall/winter were available for show at the party. I especially loved their bags, wallets and pouches - so chic and high quality. All the guests received a gift plus a special art book (the paper crowns we are wearing are from that book :)). And to top it off, the lemonade and the hors d'oeuvres were delicious!

Take a look at Kate Spade Saturday's website here for more cute stuff.

Thanks for the comments on my last post x

birkenstock madrid eva model launch party

Tonight, I attended the Birkenstock Madrid Eva Model Launch Party in Harajuku with my friend Amy. It was seriously poppin' when we arrived, and we all got to wear the new Madrid Evas during the party. My model friend Melody Yoko was the image model for this launch party, so there were posters of her modeling the different Birkenstocks all over the warehouse (she is the girl in the blue palm tree dress). It was great seeing some of my other friends at the party :) And I'm so excited to own my first pair of Birkenstocks!

Do you own a pair of Birkenstocks? Let me know in the comments!

Love,
