I spent this long weekend at a Santa Cruz beach house with my boyfriend, Danny, and a few friends of ours. I’ve been feeling a little spoiled lately…and enjoying every second of it. Despite the apparent casualness of Santa Cruz, I still managed to squeeze in a floor-grazing maxi – with its silhouette relaxed enough for leisurely daytime outings. Have you heard the term maxi-nista before? I think it might apply to me.

Light, breezy and carefree. I only have a few Thailand post left. Don’t forget to enter the Phillip Lim Necklace Giveaway that ends September 30th.
walk in the park
This post captures my visit to the Soul Forest Park last weekend. I kept my look as simple and light as I wanted the day to be – loose silk top, over a bikini and short denim shorts; a clear chunky chain ring; aviators; and plain flip flops. The deer feeding was my favourite part. They were hungry little buggers that couldn’t get enough of dog-food looking stuff you buy in a vending machine.
Akihabara (秋葉原電気街)
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.
my soup
I should be working on my take home exam for professor Taniguchi but instead I’m blogging and watching Californication. What is it that they say about procrastination again? Ha, I just realized that I’m sitting in a hotel room in Tokyo while watching a show about California and making one the most Canadian posts ever – kind of ironic. These pictures were taken in Niagara and I’m wearing a dress by a Canadian designer Denis Gagnon. Interestingly enough, the paper that I’m supposed to be writing is premised on the metaphor of the Japanese legal system as a “soup” – with its many influences being ingredients that “create the basic stock underlying a more complex creation to follow” (words of Professor Marc Levin). Anyway, this post is something of a soup…a mixture of ingredients.
