KIMONO SUMMER SHOP again this summer! 

I had been looking forward to seeing new looks created by my favorite designers.

Here are some kimonos I got to try on.

"Bird of Paradise"  in olive.

by Baba-Soushoku

Amazing pattern which has both modern and retro feel to it.

The matching obi was also so beautiful!

:) :) :)

Celtic yukata in new color! by Roccoya

They made this cute yukata in sweet pink and white last year. 

I also love this spicy look in black!

Aquarium yukata by Umeya

Playful pattern with animals from the sea.

Wander a Jungle in Light by CHOKO

LOVE IT :)

Pity.... that this kimono is not going to be available till next spring....Darnn.....!

I haven't got any chance to wear yukata or summer kimono this summer yet... but trying on these beautiful creations definitely made me wanna put on some of my favorite summer kimonos before summer is over!

On the other day, I dropped by Double Standard Clothing and got their autumn lookbook.

The weather is truly too hot to think about warm clothes but next season is definitely coming.

Got some fashion inspiration with good food....

And here are a few things I picked up from summer sale.

Flat sandals by Fabio Rusconi.

New pair of B-San (flip flop) 

and a piece of glassed art by Susan Wickstrand.

My favorite Hawaiian artist!

Not many glassed pieces by her are found at stores here in Japan, but I found this cute "Honu Love" piece at Greenroom Gallery!

And... new white shoes by NIKE for our big dance day!

Ready to enjoy the rest of SUMMER :)

Thank you for reading.

WEAR

::Caftan::

日本語ver. → こちら

Light, loose and comfortable. A caftan is one of my favorite items during hot summer.

Even though it is still rainy season and the weather is mostly cloudy, when the sun comes out it can be so hot and humid in Tokyo.

Caftans let the air through between fabric and your skin so that you feel a bit cooler than wearing a tight t-shirt. 

Caftan : Zara (from last year)

Sandals : ASH 

I love these ASH sandals so much that I have them in beige and black.

Bag : Double Standard Clothing

Wearing demin shorts inside....

Another thing I wear a lot during summer is this simple UNIQLO dress with bra pads.

I have some cropped tops like this and layer it over the dress.

If you have some cute cropped tops, give it a try! You can wear a cheap simple dress in the more expensive way.

Thank you for reading.

::Leopard & Snake::

日本語ver HERE

The weather is still warm and humid in Tokyo when the sun is up. 

I have this dress with a turtle neck last year but didn't know the right time to wear it since it has short sleeves.

The highest temperature of this day was around 25 degrees C, but I tried wearing this all day wondering if it was going to be too warm around my neck.

<ootd>

Dress : DIESEL

Booties : Forever21

Backpack : Papillonner

I added a long sleeve tee underneath it when I went to Enoshima beach for lunch in Jan. 2015.

The blog post on that day is HERE 

My very first backpack since I was in school....

I like the details made of water snake leather.

These genuine leather booties from Forever21 have these big chunky heels which make it easier to walk around for a long time.

It was actually too warm around my neck while I was inside of a building or a house, but when it gets cool at night, I didn't need any jacket cause my neck was warm :)

I put away summer sandals and got my quick shoe selection booth (well, it's just the door area at my place.) ready for fall and winter. 

Thank you for reading.

The casual effortless look with two different pair of shoes :)

I recently got my second pair of ASH sneakers in black.

My first pair is in silver and green which I got a couple of years ago.

These are a pair of my favorite sneakers I own. 

Even though they have 2.5 inch heels, my feet don't get so tired after walking around for hours in them. 

This day, I didn't have any appointment to see anyone in the city so I went out for shopping by myself in effortless casual look.

<ootd>

Tee : Eleven Paris

Shorts :  Zara

Sneakers : ASH

Shades : CHANEL

Bracelets : Samantha Wills

I also tried on these Nine West heels I bought years ago before heading out for shopping.

:)

Thank you for reading.

Another look with my favorite gaucho pants :)

I posted my first gaucho look HERE

<ootd>

Top :  Le Ciel Bleu

Gaucho : AULA AILA

Necklace :  ZARA

Sandals :  Elizabeth & James

Bag : Double Standard Clothing

Shades :  CHANEL

I love shoes from Elizabeth & James.
Their designs are sharp and elegant.

I went to Ginza to have a catch-up lunch with my friend this day.
We found beautiful hydrangeas at the cafe.

Thank you for reading.

::Shoes in my Closet:: pumps & sandals

Happy Monday, everyone :)

March is almost over and cherry blossoms are in full bloom!

Have you re-organized your closet for this spring and summer?

I put my long boots and wool coats away and get my sandals out last week.

Here are some of my favorite stilettos and sandals in my closet!

First, my stilettos!!!

Snake and studded pumps by Giuseppe Zanotti :)

I looooove these since they make my calves look higher and legs longer.

Actually I need the studded ones widened because they are a bit too tight for my feet.

Stuart Weitzman!!!

Metalic pewter pumps.

The heels are a bit lower than those by Giuseppe Zanotti.

So they are more comfortable for me to walk around for shopping.

I wore them last weekend with DIESEL jeans.

Sandals also by Stuart Weitzman.

I also love shoes from Elizabeth and James.

Unique heels by Charline de Luca.

My favorite sandals by ASH.

I have the same exact pair in black as well.

I was wearing some boots over the weekend,

and the weather was too warm for them already.

Thank you for reading.
