Inspired by a Japanese Parasol

A couple of days ago, I was waiting for the light to change at an intersection when my eyes darted towards the pedestrians walking on the right. There was a man [yes, a man] walking with an umbrella that reminded me of a Japanese Parasol. Huh. It was a quaint sight.

What is a Japanese Parasol? […]

Rip & Torn Scarf

Isn’t it cute?
I’ve always liked this type of accessory. Scarves are like so chic and functional. I never really picked up on it since it’ll look funny if I do wear one here in Manila. It’s just way too hot to sport one. Even when you do work in a A/C cold environment. I […]

Shortcake Sweater Wrap

Shortcake Sweater Wrap.
I found it at ONATOKO. I loved the colours. It reminds me of candy or bubble gums. That’s probably why they named it “Shortcake”, it’s pointing out that it’s sweet like desserts! Teeheehee.
Winter is almost here in the land down under. We’re all stocking up on clothes that will keep us warm. I’m […]

Japanese Uno Top

I found this top really challenging. It’s not just the entire design, it’s the colour, purple. You see, I do try to explore but I’m not really adventurous in terms of colours, I tend to stick to my favourite ones. However, I can’t say no to a challenge. Hehehe.
I like the idea that it will […]

Japanese Styling

Another idea came to me. It’s not that recent, actually. I’ve been going back and forth on whether to do it or not, for a couple of weeks now. Well, I’ve come to a decision. Finally.
It’s no secret now, I know. The title of the entry basically gave it away. But I’d like to tell […]

The Sharon Top

A top named after me? Yay! Highly flattering, I’d say.
Kidding aside, I was browsing through the tops available at Onatoko when I found the Sharon Top. At first, I was taken aback. I never really thought clothes have names let alone my name. Then I started to notice what the top looks like and I […]

A Look into Japanese Street Fashion

I’ve been so fascinated with Japanese Street Fashion. It so bold, vibrant and dynamic. It’s only been a while since I took notice of this fashion from that part of the world but I’ve been curious eversince. I just want to give you guys a glimpse of what it really is.
What I’ve noticed about it […]

Kyoko Higa: An Independent Spirit

Kyoko Higa is indeed a rose. Her first label, A Rose is a Rose, started way back 1990 and it still grows strong today. She designs for the individual that reflects her independent spirit so it’s actually safe to say that these are type of clothes she would wear, only she chooses to share it […]
