Outfit Post: Lazy Leopard

Leopard blouse – H&M | White shorts – Bershka | Ankle boots – H&M
Bag – Zara | Hat – H&M | Bar ring – Forever21 | Chevron/arrow ring & linked ring – H&M

 

I cannot tell you how happy I am that it’s finally shorts weather. Packed away my winter clothes for good!! ^_^ (..ok…for the next 5 months)
I bought this hat from H&M two weekends ago. I know that I have a very similar hat (worn here and here) but like with all things, you end up wanting a slightly different version of something you already own. I know it’s quite common with beauty products. Pink lipstick….gotta have it in high gloss, matte, with sparkles, moisturizing, with SPF, etc, etc. Please tell me I’m not alone! #shopaholic
The last two photos were taken at CrissCross in Omotesando. How beautiful is that last photo of the pancakes?! Look at that river of melted butter….*drool*  It was a very good lunch indeed.

表参道の CrissCross に行ってきました。

今回のコーデはすごいシンプルです…言うことあんまりありません！（笑）

では、また今度~

Outfit Post: Exaggerated Angles

Blouse – SLY (Japanese brand) | Good To Be Bad Skirt – Three Floor | Heels – ASOS (v similar item here)
Sunglasses – MonkeyBite (no longer available) | Clutch – ASOS | Bracelet – CocoroCreation

A few posts ago I mentioned a ‘favorite purchase of the year’ and how I had been wanting to show it to you guys. Well, this is it! The ‘Good To Be Bad’ skirt from British label, Three Floor :)
I stuck to the “angles” theme and chose a white blouse with exaggerated collars, white pointy pumps, and my favorite pair of cat eye sunglasses.

このスカートは今年買ったもので一番気に入っている商品です！
イギリスのブランド「Three Floor」からです。
スカートのラインがすごい目立つので、「アングル」のテーマでコーデしました。
襟がでかいシャツと先がとんがってる靴を選びました。

Here are some other asymmetrical/wrap/angled items I have my eye on:
今はこういう斜め・ラップ・非対称(asymmetrical?)スカートがすごい人気です:

Outfit Post: Gloomy City, Coachella Dreamin’

gloomsville

Orange kaftan/robe – Forever 21 | Monokini – Beauty & the Beach (eBay) | Shorts – ???
Boots – Forever 21 | Hat – H&M

 

I started off my previous post with “Happy spring everyone!”
…..well I spoke too soon because it most definitely was not spring weather in Tokyo last weekend.
It was cold. It was rainy. It was windy. It was DEPRESSING.
And you know what really doesn’t help? Seeing photos from Coachella….  music, sunshine, people having a good time…. light-travel me to Palm Springs please.

Anyway, instead of letting this Coachella-jealously eat me up, I decided to get into the festival mood by picking an outfit I might’ve worn if I were there. I chose a crochet monokini which I purchased from eBay last year (http://bit.ly/121mNfk), some denim shorts, a long sheer robe, some flat lace-up boots, and a floppy hat. A hat is a necessity for a someone who is heat-stroke prone like myself.

I’m actually going to a music festival this Saturday but I doubt it’ll be warm enough to wear this outfit. Will have to come up with something else! Leggings and some wedge sneakers perhaps :)

And then on Sunday night I’m off to Bali for a friend’s bachelorette! Really excited. Won’t be taking any outfit photos there but I plan on making a “What’s in my suitcase” post so stay tuned!

こんにちは！
土日ぜんぜん春の天気じゃなかったですね…. 彡(-_-；)彡ﾋｭｰﾋｭｰ
寒すぎて、外で写真を撮ることやめました。

この2週間中アメリカの人気のフェスティバル「Coachella」でした。
今回のコーデはもし Coachella に行けたらっと言うテーマです。

日曜日にバリに行ってきます！
すごい楽しみです ^_^

Outfit Post: Spring Whites

Denim shirt – Forever 21 | White knit – H&M | White pants – Bershka
White pumps – Asos | Red bag – Zara | Cuffs – Gifted from Cocoro Creation

 

Happy spring everyone!
First off, apologies for being a complete stranger. Going to try my very best to update every week from now on :)

Went for an (almost) all white ensemble. Sported pops of denim and a bright red bag to add some color. The zipper detail on the sweater also helps break up the monochrome look.
This outfit would probably look better if I had a bit more of a tan….hard to distinguish between my feet and shoes in some photos! Yikes. #BeachVacationPlease

I’m hoping the weather is a bit warmer this weekend so I can show you guys my favorite purchase of the year so far….fingers crossed!

みなさんお久しぶりです！
天気がゴロゴロ変わってて、毎日なにを着ればいいか分からなくなっちゃいました！
でもやっと春みたいですね ^_^

先週外苑前で写真を撮りました。
ほとんど白のコーデです~
デニムのシャツ、赤いバッグと黒いジップを色のトッピング(??)としました。

ではまた来週！ –>テレビ番組みたい (笑)

Outfit Post: Gray x Denim x Red

Hat – GAP | Faux fur coat – Mango (on sale!) | Denim shirt – F21 | Pants – F21 | Booties – ASOS
Necklace – Zara | Red wrap bracelet & black cuff – gifted from CocoroCreation

 

I usually gravitate towards dark, muted colors but I definitely have a soft spot for bold red (note my red leather jacket and leather pants!). I think a pop of red looks great with almost any color combination. For this outfit post, I went for gray x red….something a bit adventurous even for myself! What do you guys think?

So I only got back from Europe a week ago but tomorrow I’m off to….SUNNY AUSTRALIA!
I cannot wait to be in summer weather. Although I love and wouldn’t survive without them, I am sick of wearing my Uniqlo heat tech long sleeves every day. It’s time for some shorts, sandals, and bikinis!

xx Rio

Oh yes, my fab aunt gave me this stunning necklace when I visited her in Germany last week. It’s her birthday today so Happy Birthday Annette!
