Officially introducing the Classic Southampton Lady watch by Daniel Wellington, a Swedish brand that makes watches for any and every occasion. The lightest,   most classic-looking watch I've ever owned, and I just love the strip of rose pink in the middle with the white and navy. The clock-face is rose-gold (also available in silver), and I love how sleek and simple it looks with the logo. I decided to keep the rest of my outfit simple with my ultra-soft V-neck Tee from Le Ciel Bleu, and a basic black pencil skirt I picked up at Zara a few years ago. Also sporting my new stripy sandals from Aldo - really comfortable!

Check out Daniel Wellington's website at www.danielwellington.com. They also have leather watches, and mens as well as women's watches. My readers can get 15% off all items when they enter the code MARIKO at checkout. You don't want to miss this!

Thank you so much Daniel Wellington for this gorgeous watch, and I'm looking forward to wearing it with my other watch strap (yep, the straps are replaceable! cool, right?). 

Thanks for reading!

Love,

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!

lauderdale part 2 & shop bop sale event

More good food, more good company. Made my way to Lauderdale once more for an all girls lunch with my mom and my friend Amy. A little disappointing that they don't serve their eggs benedict on weekdays, but we still enjoyed a delicious lunch over girls talk. I'm glad that my mom is able to meet some of my close friends in Japan!

Also, a quick announcement for a 3-day sale event over at shopbop.com starting Tuesday PST time.

Check out the flyer for more details :)

casual day in ginza & tokyo station

(top: Zara; jeans: Le Ciel Bleu; shoes: Vans; clutch: Sara Beltan for Dezso)

I spent the day with my mom at the newly reformed Tokyo Station, shopping around at Kitte, the department store right across and eating at a Kaiten sushi restaurant there. We then headed over to Ginza to do some more shopping and karaoke. Since I knew we would be walking the whole afternoon, I wore my trusty Vans slip-ons with a cropped top and jeans. I got this top from Zara in white and black because I couldn't decide on just one! And my denim from Le Ciel Bleu is so comfortable - I purposely got it one size larger. Thanks mama for taking pictures for me!

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! 

Much love,

Samantha Mariko

My new Daniel Wellington watch freshly arrived, in a smart-looking box. Big thanks to Daniel Wellington for this beautiful Classic Southampton Lady watch - I love that there is a subtle strip of pink in the middle. Can't wait to do an outfit post with this beauty. Stay tuned!
