Japan Fashion Haul!

Last week I had the lovely excuse of going to Tokyo/Saitama for work and decided to hop onto an earlier train to go shopping for a couple of hours. I was walking around in my suit and though it was such a pain to try on clothes, I still did it!

I think I even wrinkled my crisp new white blouse in the process BUT it was totally worth it! 

This is my FIRST JAPAN HAUL! (post)

(pardon moi, for the awful layout!)

The highlight of this haul is my recent discovery of this boutique brand called E hyphen world gallery.(link to online store) Little did I know that they have stores in Hong Kong and Singapore too! The prices for their pieces are incredibly reasonable considering how well they are made. 

e hyphen world gallery:

mint green off-the-shoulder knit - perfect slouch (that's always my battle with off-the-should garments). 

coral neon stripped top with the cute small pocket has buttons on the sleeves and it zips up in the back! love the detailing - I will definitely do an outfit post on this one.

NOW for some candy -- ARM CANDY that is!

AND to take me to great places, a pair of comfy shoes!

These shoes were only 315 yen! that:s about 4 dollars usd! cute hey?

Let me know what your recent great purchases are!

fashion feed JAPAN!

Change is scary....good or bad it makes your heart skip a beat.

that has been doing a lot these days because I recently quit my job to find new and better opportunities! Mostly to get out of the suburbs to move toward fashion central a.k.a TOKYO! I can't disclose what kind of interview I went to but this was the outfit I wore:

stud shirt/ #Zara
puff skirt/ #club monaco
pumps/ #Christian Louboutin
jewelry/ #H&M

My inspiration? 

Well here is where I'm going to give you the current 

fashion feed in Japan:

studs, studs and more studs!

You find them on t-shirts, ripped-jeans, blouses, shorts, shoes, sandals you name it!!! It's awesome! Why? Because I love that rocker-chic look, if I was to describe my fashion style, that would be the closest word.

If YOU had to describe your fashion style in one word, WHAT WOULD IT BE???

Back to Japan huurrrrr! I must apologize for the sporadic posts, we are still trying to establish a schedule but being in different continents with a full-day time difference, it ain't easy to establish a skype meeting.

But on a better note I recently got an iPhone in Japan, I've had the iPhone series since my Canada days so I was pretty excited after 8 months of agonizing iPhone withdrawal. Yes and to celebrate this joyous reunion with my new and improved iPhone 4S(actually the battery life is awful) I have decided to INSTAGRAM My outfit of the day!

LA week....

I am scrambling to get everything settled and finalized before I make my final move in June from Vancouver! The last couple of weeks was an introductory visit to LA (new LA).  Though I grew up in California, most of my adult life was in Vancouver. It was amazing to go back and experience the city as an adult! meaning more fun.

I cannot wait to post up the trends, hotspots, and everthing else about the city!! Stay tuned....for now, there are some of the OUTFITS OF THE WEEK!!!
