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.

I nominate.....

Delight!

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!

This gorgeous shoot featuring the amazing Miranda Kerr for V magazine really caught my attention. She is just stunning in every style and look she shoots.  The editorial included a bold shot of Miranda displaying her toosh... but I say if your as beautiful as she is... show it to the world!

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.

Oscar De La Renta Vintage Purse

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!

Pre-Fall Collection 2010

Black in a Hat

Black Black Black! It was about time I played with black! I have this amazing Eric Javits hat! I have not had a chance to wear it out yet... But I am determined to find a perfect occasion. The cute black and bead skirt is from none other then... wait for it.... Forever 21 (the online store)! A great little mini that will go with everything! Its really sexy, but paired with a blazer or coat is becomes a perfect look!

Darling

It's not even Winter and I can't wait till Spring! Just for these wonderful dresses from Luella... my favorite designer. The feminine necklines and the 'just-right' length skirts are so perfect!

Grandpa Pants

So Im off to work today and I thought I would channel my Grandpa. My tweed pants are from an Australian vintage clothing store and the jacket from HnM... (alright Im a HnM fan). I used my Hermes silk scarf as a belt which I think is the highlight of this outfit. My lovely new shoes are actually the type of shoe worn by school girls here in Tokyo. I can't stop wearing them!

High top red.

Just playing around with some new red tights and a new red hat I have recently added to my wardrobe. The cute little bowler hat I grabbed from HnM and the tights from a great second hand/recycled clothing here in japan called WeGo. Along with my Tiffany's necklace and previously shown HnM jacket Im very secretly loving this look... hehe! If only I could wear stuff like this outside of my room!

Boots, Belts and Navy

Here is the latest outfit I put together that I love. My Topshop 'Dusk' boots finally arrived... Sadly Topshop don't ship to Japan. I am in love with them. I wasn't sure they would fit in with my otherwise 'girly' wardrobe... but alas! I teamed them up with my navy knit from last winter HnM and a cream and black lace dress from an Australian store Bardot. Perfect for my day shopping in Ginza, the heart of Tokyo.

Daring.

Georgia Jagger...

She was this month's British Vogue cover girl. Something intrigues me about this girl...

Maybe its the lips... I want them!
