The other day we visited the geek central of the world – Akihabara Electric Town (Aka, Akiba). That’s were you go if you need some nifty little gadget or some ‘super exciting stuff’ like electrical parts, wires, or microsized cameras. But for those of us who would rather go through wisdom teeth removal than dig though a box of wires, Akiba still has a lot more to offer. To me, the greatest thing about this part of Tokyo is its energy. It feels…I don’t know…FAST.

first day in Japan
Arrived in Tokyo, and took my first and last cab ride to the hotel. 24,000yen is way too expensive for a student’s budget! Felt like my stress level was rising with the meter!!! And, since I measure everything in dresses that works out to about two I just lost forever. These pics are from a rainy daytrip to Kamakura where the Great Buddha, and several shrines are located. A lot of walking, but well worth it. Coincidently, the last time I wore this dress was in L.A. and I ended up hiking barefoot in the mud. More pics from more places to come.
with the girls
In law school I spent so much time with my guy friends that I couldn’t wait to be with the girls in Toronto. This visit back home is shaping out to be primarily about this and I’m loving every second of it. My recent summer looks have been accessories heavy. I noticed a little pattern emerging – the more fun I’m having the more accessories I tend to wear…at least when I’m with the girls

in time for spring
I picked up this simple little dress at a vintage shop in San Francisco and it has become one of my library favourites. Conveniently enough, its fabric never seems to wrinkle and its loose fit makes it comfortable to sit in for hours. As the deafening silence of the library room and the double vision from excessive reading begin to shut down my senses, I can look down at the pattern of the dress and it completely finishes the job…leads to official loss of sanity .
warm bronze
Marry Christmas dear fashionistas. Hope you’re all having awesome holidays. I wore this comfy H&M dress to a hookah lounge a few days ago, which was perfect considering its loose fit and ‘inexpensiveness.’ I could bum around in it without worrying about pulls or snags in the fabric. It’s kind of strange, but on a subconscious level, I think it’s only natural for polyester to get abused – that’s how fond I am of the fabric . Anyway, do it up my darlings – life is too short to be understated!
