She's Expensive

So while scary tsunami warnings are blazing here in Japan... the only way I can think to distract myself is by creating a new post. Its absolutely horrible to hear about the earthquake in Chile, and my thoughts go out to the victims and the survivors who have lost loved ones. It crazy to think that the earthquake all the way over in Chile may actually cause a tsunami here! 

On a Different note... I need to thank my awesome sister Amanda for giving my some creative advice for this look. I was channeling a bolder, darker and sexier woman (someone I don't really see myself as! haha) while putting this together. It was just exciting to go crazy with the eyeliner and choose some extremely tight pants!

Finally I want to point out my awesome, wonderful, amazing vintage M. Valentino clutch! BAHHHH I love love love it!

I was lucky enough to find it here in Tokyo! Ahh my love.

Ahaha I hope you like this look!

WeGo

I am dying for gigantic bow! Love love love the big blue one! Arghhh but every time I go in store to the amazing wonderland of a store... they never have any available! Boooo. But I think Im inspired to do a little D.I.Y. Im off work sick for 9 more days... so Im guessing this is the perfect time to try! I will keep you posted if I actually succeed! These adorable pics are from the WeGo spring catalogue I picked up the other day. Ahaha I LOVE the cute Japanese style. Im feeling rather inspired. I feel another outfit post coming on...

Enjoy!

Little Huricane

Its been a few weeks since I last put a look together! Sorry! Well the truth is... I have a fractured tail bone... and well that has just been taking up all my time with doctors appointments and all the rest. Surprisingly I didn't injure myself dancing, I was um riding my bike. Eeek. Almost embarrassing, but not quite as it wasn't my fault! I swear! Hehe. Anyway... 

This outfit was so fun to create! Its a little different to what I would normaly wear out and about, but I love it! I have been searching for vintage denim shorts for sooo long and I finally found a pair a few weeks ago at Mellow, a used clothing store here in Tokyo. I just cut them up myself (I was very nervous) but I think they turned out OK!!! I hope you like it!

Blueberry Night

Finally we had some snow here in Tokyo during the week... and of course I ran outside at midnight to make snow angels... but Im busting for spring to arrive already! I just can't wait to show off my new boots and polka-dotted skirt both from a used clothing store called We-Go. This store is amazing! Filled with  denim, dresses, shoes, belts and hair accessories all either brand new, vintage or barely used. Pretty sure its my new obsession!

Cat Fight

Indie rock group the Gossip are performing here in Tokyo in just over a week and Im so freaken excited! Of course Beth Ditto, the leading lady, wows crowds with outrageous outfits...  I however my be taking a little more classic approach. I have been planning my concert outfit for weeks... and this look is in my top choices. Its a vintage dress labled Mervellieuse, paired with my Topshop boots and a home made ring. I was so excited when I found this dress, I mean bows on the shoulder... it could easily fit in with the S/S 2010 Dior collection. I toped it all off with some green ribbon for a belt and this seasons bold eye colors in orange, pink and blue.

So... what are your thoughts?

Karoke!

Oh what a night! Chu-hi, tunes and good friends. Karoke is HUGE here in Japan and it's one of the greatest ways to end a night out. Open basically 24 hours, this particular karaoke bar is very old school but so much fun!

Seven interesting things hey.... umm well Im a dancer. Like ballet, tap, jazz kind of dancer, though here in Tokyo I often get asked if Im here working as an exotic dancer... Hmm I guess when a blonde western girl in heels says she is a dancer some Japanese people just jump to certain conclusions.Eeek. Ok thats one. Wow this will be harder than I thought. Two,I love pasta! Three, painting my nails black always makes me feel stylish (even when Im not). Four, I love taking afternoon nanna naps in the sun. Five, my favorite movie of all time is La vita è bella or in English, Life is Beautiful. If you have not seen it.... your insane. GO AND WATCH IT! Six, read Harry Potter if you know what's good for you. Seven, I love taking sticky pics, they call them purikura here. They are so fun. My best friend and I can spend hours taking them.

Hello world! Tokyo was freezing and rainy today... but luckily I found these amazing vintage YSL heels to brighten up my day! The white 2 and a half inch heels are detailed with white stitching which give the shoes a cute effect. Im still loving that I can wear my warm coats and gloves, but now I really am so excited for spring when I can whip these little babies out!

Dior Spring/SUmmer 2010 ready-to-wear collection has me jumping for joy and eager to pull out my favorite frilly socks and red lipstick. A mixture of old Hollywood glamour, lingerie and cute, 50's-esque shapes, makes me want to grab a glass of champagne and head to a library.

Look at my new love! My newest vintage find! This gorgeous black leather evening bag is the perfect size and shape for anytime I want to dress up my look.

Silk, Silver and Leather

Im off to a dance class and drinks with some friends today. I guess this is more of a sharp look rather than an outfit for just hanging out with friends... but I have been desperately wanting to wear my new silk pants!  The gorgeous handbag is another of my second-hand store finds! Metal mesh bags are amazing! When worn right, this little beauties will never go out of style!
