Soft Hues Outfit from a few weeks back in Meguro, grabbing a hamburger as big as my face and a cappuccino at a small cafe in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. How I managed to come out of all those activities with absolutely no spill, I still have no idea. The weather was fantastic though, so it's natural to reach for softer hues. I like to keep my items like bags and shoes in my usual black though so I don't look as if I'm about to float away, but bright colors would also work especially in the summertime! So ladies, be brave and get your white flowy tops and white skinny pants for a big change! Oh, and don't mention about my obsession over H&M and Zara. I know it's a problem.

Yes, you can call me a basic queen because everything I'm wearing right here you probably own it too. But nothing can go wrong with simple attire like this white shirt and denim shorts combo. I've grown to like basic items with fine details and materials, like this 100% cotton shirt from Muji. I actually own three of these shirts in different colors...maybe you'll get to see the other two real soon. Photos taken at Tokyo International Forum by the way. If you're on Instagram you have probably heard of this place. It's quite an Instagram classic, haha.

"Red lips and rosy cheeks" 

Hot day calls for a soft fabric and an easy getup. I've been wearing this second-hand jumpsuit for every lazy occasion I could possibly experience so I didn't want to be photographed because once taken I won't be able to wear it again. JK, I'm still going to wear it no matter how many times I expose myself on SNS wearing the same clothes. Anyway. This jumpsuit is perfect for any kind of occasions, dress it down for work or for parties, or for strolling around fancy streets of Tokyo (name: Omotesando). When chilly I like to wear it with ankle boots, but since Tokyo is already getting a little hot, a nice pair of nude sandals would also do a perfect job. Basic, easy and functional.

Fashion, oh fashion.

Talking about Japanese fashion districts, one cannot forget to mention the infamous Omotesando. Sandwiched between Harajuku and Shibuya, the capital of the teens and tweens, Omotesando is oddly, but somehow, naturally home to many high end brands’ stores and boutiques. Stepping into Omotesando area feels similar to that of a 24-hour runway. People here are endlessly inspiring.

Knowing that we were gonna grab the yummiest lattes at Omotesando Coffee one fine Monday afternoon, I knew I had to keep up with the most fashion forward surroundings in the city. Simple black romper and a white blazer, I tied the whole thing together with some emerald tones. The hat was acquired on Takeshita street, and earrings, for a rather surprising cheap price, at Flying Tiger as I was grabbing some tape the previous day.

The rest of the outfit is from H&M and yes, that includes the block-heeled sandals too. I was a walking exhibition of fast fashion that afternoon.

That only goes to show that, if you want to blend in in Omotesando, you sure don’t have to be clad with high end brands, although, you can. The right combination would certainly do, given that you walk with confidence, and a smile that comes from the heart.

Nowadays, you can get a floral printed dress easier than buying fresh fruits, so admit it girls, you all have one or two of these in your closet. What are you waiting for? Get your beige bag and your light color shoes, and to further accentuate the girlishness of the ensemble, pull your hair into a low bun, or not, there are really no rules for these things.

Dress and shoes are from Hanoi and Shibuya, in that order. Bag is a gift, branded Ivanka Trump.

Thank you for still following us!

Gold Leaf in Shimokitazawa

We have been in love with Shimokita ever since we stepped foot there for the first time. Megu and I regularly come here to enjoy food and thrift shopping or just pure breathing in the hipster air of this ultra alternative town. The weather has been chilling down lately, leaving us no choice but to wrap ourselves in fleece coats, leather boots, and turtle-necks.

down & under

Some photos I failed to post on my previous Australia travel diary. Australia is one of those places where I could certainly call it my "home" but knowing very little or absolutely none about the place itself. It surely is a strange place. Despite that feeling of isolation from the place itself, the people of this country is honestly the nicest you'll ever meet in your entire life. I usually don't like making generalizations but I can't help it with this one. I guess for me, "home" is all about the people, more so than the land itself.

前回アップしたオーストラリア旅行日記に載せることができなかった写真をいくつかここでご紹介します。オーストラリアは私にとって「居場所」である一方、地理や場所そのものに関しては全くの無知というなんとも不思議な場所。そんな中でもやっぱり自分のホームだと胸はって言えるのも、この国に住んでいる温かい人たちのおかげなんだなぁと思います。「居場所」という定義は人それぞれですが、私にとっては地より人なんだなと強く思うのです。

Bonjour

The beret isn't the only reason why I named this entry Bonjour. The moment I decided to post this outfit on the blog, my iTunes magically played this song called Bonjour by Lemongrass. You should check the tune out too. It's perfect to wind down the day with or when you wake up in the morning, sipping your first coffee.

Anyhow, I bought this super cute oxblood beret in Mode-Off in Koenji for like 500¥. What a steal! And it makes me look super Frenchy too. This color is very autumn-y and we are sporting all things in red hues around because the weather has been chilling down. It is the beginning of November after all.

The last picture isn't taken in Iidabashi. Megu and I were actually roaming around World Trade Center later that day, admiring the beauty of Tokyo from the 40th floor at night. How beautiful is this metropolis. You tell me.

Ueno

AZUL by moussy blouse, Thrifted skirt, Mango sandals, Kate Spade wallet

Super-duper long overdue post from this summer. One of the very early Tokyo adventures at Ueno, and this outfit specifically at Tokyo University of the Arts, the most prestigious art school in Japan. So what's the best way to fully appreciate the space? Take loads of pictures on campus. Sorry students (well not really. Your campus is beautiful anyway). This thrifted skirt is probably the only way I could ever look so feminine because a) it is high-waisted and b) it hits right below my knees and with those two elements combined with c) it is A-lined all I really need is a nice simple blouse to blend in with the classy part of Tokyo. And a starbucks cup maybe?

Roppongi strolling

So if you feel absolutely tired and a bit trashed, I suggest you check out these pants from UNIQLO because it’s the perfect solution for any lazy, hangover kinda day. You want to roll out of bed and take five minute to dress and still look pristine? This is your answer ladies. These pants make you feel like a crispy, razor-sharp bachelorette without you having to try too hard.

What did I say about effortless chic? It’s everything.

out of bed

Wephobia PJ blouse, GU shorts, Mango sandals, Etsy necklace

...Continue on from Sue's last post on our obsession over Wephobia, have you ever thought how amazing it would be to simply wear your pj out to work? Well I definitely have, and my wish was definitely granted thanks to Wephobia. It's pretty much a sum of everything that I adore in one: comfort, simplicity and versatility. Perfect for those days when you have absolutely zero energy to come up with an outfit while still looking like you belong in the office building (well in my case, Harajuku, for that matter).

前のスーの記事に続きますが、ベトナム発のファッションブランド"Wephobia"に最近凄くハマっています！このWephobiaのパジャマブラウスは本当にパジャマのような着心地よさ！に加え合わせやすさ、かわいさもあって、私が求めている全ての要素がつまった贅沢な一枚です！コーデを考えるのがめんどくさい、でもきちんとしたオフィススタイルじゃなきゃだめ！なんて日にはもってこいのチートアイテムです。

Electric Feel

Megu and I have been obsessed with a brand called WEPHOBIA, by two young designers based in Hanoi, Vietnam. We can’t stop liking pictures from their facebook page. Check them out if you are interested! But don’t you agree that this shirt is so effortlessly chic. It just makes you look cooler than everybody else. That’s the power of clean design. It transforms you naturally and elegantly. No matter what you wear it with, what occasion you sport it to. I am in love!

Here I combine this magical shirt with my ZARA pencil skirt and H&M strap sandals. Head to toes basics. 

Megu và mình dạo này bị nghiện đồ của WEPHOBIA. Hãy đến thăm 26 Nam Ngư, Hà Nội để cùng nghiện với bọn mình nhé. Chiếc áo này mặc kiểu gì cũng đẹp, mặc với cái gì cũng đẹp. Thế mới biết khả năng thần kỳ của một design chuẩn. Ở đây mình mặc cùng với váy bút chì ZARA và dép cao gót của H&M. Từ đầu đến chân toàn đồ basics.

Australia Insta Diary

I was in Melbourne & Sydney for the past week, visiting old places and meeting old friends. It was good to be back in my origin. Here are snippets of my travel log. Notice the number of food pictures...Who's jealous now? Obviously me.

More detailed photos coming up soon!

Expert in Partying All Night

Tokyo has this way, it makes you stay out and up all night. It makes you see sunrises, drunk, and happy. So what to do when you are going out literally all night long? You stay comfortable. I think comfort has always triumph over style for me. But the combination of style and comfort could happen. That's why crop-tops, flowy skirts and chunky heels exist. 

And I am grateful.

Tokyo làm cho người ta mất ngủ. Sue đã sang đây một tuần rồi và cuối tuần nào cũng nhìn thấy mặt trời mọc ít nhất một lần. Có thể mỗi người một khác, nhưng  Sue thì rất thích nhìn mặt trời mọc, nhất là lúc say. Vậy làm thế nào để có thể nhảy múa cả đêm lang thang thành phố không ngủ này với bạn bè mà trông vẫn tươm tất? Đối với Sue thì sự thoải mãi luôn luôn quan trọng hơn style. Mặc dù vậy, có những món đồ rất dễ mặc, luôn thoải mái mà vẫn rất stylish đấy! Crop-top, váy xoè và giầy cao gót đế dày chẳng hạn.

One Shinjuku Night

Mây 'Crafts and Drinks' maxi dress, Mango sandals

Funny thing about Asian summer is that the temperature never drops even past midnight. Which might be a good thing for someone like me who prefers wearing the same clothes throughout the day rather than carrying around extra cardigans for those what-if moments.

With that being said, maxi dress is the ultimate solution to a lazy bum like me. Just one piece of clothing and you're good to go. How awesome is that? The one by Mây 'Crafts and Drinks' from Vietnam makes no ordinary maxi dress though, it transforms a lazy bum like me into a perfectly fine, ready-to-go-out getup with no hustle involved what so ever. What's more special though? That extra slit right there. I can never get enough of minimalistic items with a hint of quirky details.

アジアの夏と言えば早朝でも夜中でもおかまいなしの熱さ！ でもある意味ではもしもの時の羽織ものを持ち歩かなくていいという事で、面倒くさがりやの私にはピッタリなのかもしれません。

そんな面倒くさがりやの私に最適なのがマキシ丈ワンピ！ 一枚でコーデが完成だなんてこんな楽ちんな事があっていいのか！という衝撃はおいといて・・・。今回着ているワンピはベトナム発のブランド、Mây 'Crafts and Drinks'のものです。体にすっとフィットして楽ちんコーデには見えないというのが魅力的。しかもスリットつき！一見シンプルなのに、ディテールに凝ったアイテムが大好きな私にはたまらない一枚です。
