Heather 15th Anniversary party

Japanese brand Heather celebrated its 15th anniversary at IDOL with an abundance of pink. Popular model Maggy is currently the image model of the brand - wall photo collage was my favorite decoration. It was my first time meeting Nylon blogger Andreea, who is probably the cutest fashion blogger I've met.

Heatherが１５周年を祝う盛大なパーティーを開催しました。会場がピンクだらけで、とても女の子らしい雰囲気満載。今人気のマギーちゃんがイメージモデルを努めていて、壁のフォトコラージュが可愛かった！そして、この日は初めてNylonブロガーのアンドレアちゃんに会いました。お人形さんみたいな顔とスタイル！多分今まで会ったブロガーの中で一番可愛いかも。

happy valentine's day!

pink is key

I would have never thought to wear an outfit like this had it not been for my work. Le Ciel Bleu has changed my outlook on fashion immensely - the Samantha 2 months ago would not be wearing a knit hat of any color, especially bright pink. And with a pencil skirt. Sounds weird but it somehow goes together. Balancing out the bright accessories with a monotone outfit is key, and is a simple way to coordinate outfits. I wouldn't be surprised if I had a collection of hats in every color by the end of the winter season. I think I'm hooked. 

Love,
