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?

Delight!

I want I want, I need I need.

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!

Delight!

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.

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!

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!
