PRINTED TOP&BOTTOM

If you're interested in visiting Tokyo someday,
I highly recommend to check the boutique Petite robe noire.
This store started from an old tiny apartment house (near my office)
and it's gradually got bigger year by year.
I've been supporting this shop and often drop by, so I was glad
to hear it finally launched an outfit label from this S/S.

The top I'm wearing today is from the memorable first collection,
the print design was created by the collaboration with the Japanese contemporary artist.

Hope you choose Tokyo for the destination of your next trip!

CONSCIOUSLY DEMURE

I bought this dress many weeks ago.
This was in my wishlist and as soon as I could I got it on my own.
But I counldn't find the best time to sport this...
mainly bacause of the weather, and to be honest,
I didn't have the courage to wear this.
This is soooo cute, I suppose, but not so suitable for business meetings
and y'know this kind of demure dress makes my heart float
although I love this as it looks.

Hope you guys have a relaxed weekend, and thank you so much for reading!!

SNEAKERS FEEVERRR!!

Lately, I'm soooo into sneakers!
For long time, they were just for walking around in my neighborhood
or working out at a gym for me.

But I noticed and was so convinced of the simple fact: they are so comfortable!
And additionally, they go quite nicely with my staple outfits.
So, since then I've been rotating my sneakers and stalking to find nice ones
almost every day.
Actually there are several pairs I bought these days, so stay tuned and I'd
love to share you more!!

PRETTY HOT!!

For these three days, the weather in Tokyo is super-hot like summer
and the temperature hit record highs as heat waves continued.

We had pretty cold days last week...felt like real winter and it actually
snowed in the northern side of Japan, however...wow!
I just can't decide what to wear and finally pulled out this tube dress
I purchased for summer vacation!

'VEST' BUY!

Standard items always fit anyplace and anytime
and never be 'enough! if you add to your wardrobe every season.

For me, one of my standards is a well-tailored black jacket.
Simple single-button...maybe?, or a taxido to make more man-like effect?
I love both.
But for this season, I scooped up a 'double-in-one'......
A vest is layered under a jacket.

Where do you think I got this from?
It's Adidas SLVR-- a new luxury, chic line embarked from Adidas.

jacket: Adidas SLVR(also love this&this)

top: H&M(also seen here)

ALADDIN

Today, we had erratic weather in Tokyo.
Strong winds blew and rained, but once in a while sun came back and shone.

This picture was taken when the temperature rose a bit this morning
just for ten or twenty minutes and that gave the illusion to trees and flowers
and my costume-like outfits which were paired with the Oriental hint.

INTO THE HEAD OF YAYOI KUSAMA

THE POLKA DOT QUEEN- YAYOI KUSAMA is now 84(!) and back
to her career again.
With her well-known repeating dot patterns, she encompasses a huge
variety of media~ painting, drawing, performance, film, sculpture, writing
(only available in Japanese, but she wrote novels as well!)
and yes! she collaborated with Louis Vuitton and created crazy 'dots'n dots'
bags last year.
As she mentioned in her autobiography, these dot patterns mean 'Infinity Net',
expressing the minimalism of human being, and the maximalism of the universe.

Though she has lived in a mental hospital and commutes to her studio
from the institution since 1977, she's still exploring in her mind and
re-inventing her style.
In an attempt to share her vision, she has currently  been creating
a number of installations that show endless dots in mirrored space.
They were highly reputed in last year's NY Whitney Museum and
London Tate Modern exhibition.
And now you can experience her world in Tokyo as well,
at Mori Museum of art.
