Roses are red and...

Good evening!

Firstly, just a note to self though

we just had a magnitude8.5 / intensity5+ earthquake hitting Ogasawara islands

( which is located in the middle of the ocean, a bit down south of Tokyo )

and my place was in the most intense area so...

doors opened, cups and vases fallen and clothes and yoga matt (lol) fell as well.

I wonder what will happen when it hits 6 or above...

Self diary*

Anyway!

Recently I remembered that May was the "Rose" month.

Roses bloom in May predominantly and I totally forgot about that until a couple days ago.

And today I had a day off so I went for a walk to a big rose garden.

There were still roses, but not many of them and instead

there were more hydrangeas blooming near them♡

Those white ones are called Annabel I think♡

Big chunk and look really good♡

It must have been a rose heaven this month...

shame I didn't realize until today but at least it was really relaxing and loved the walk there♡

Beautiful little white roses♡

They are perfect for my crush♡ ( #HopelessRomantic )

Hydrangeas are beautiful too, rainy flower.

Rainy season coming and wonder how bad it would be

I want to stay home and watch movies and read books♡

I love stormy night...

Anyway, hope you all have a wonderful day/night.

iPHORIA cases are so pretty though♡

It's been 2 months since I started instagramming and...

I gained 500 followers *cries of happiness*

Thanks so much and I am so happy to be able to deliver photos of Japan to the world♡

And I absolutely love photos on Instagram...

Seriously though

I can never get out of bed without checking out Instagram Time Line every morning.

I eat inspirations for breakfast♡

Lately I am pretty much addicted to flowers♡

Whenever I see my girl friends I give them one or two...

Not a guy friend it might look pretty awkward.

I love looking at girls holding flowers.

Like... who doesn't like flowers anyway?

I am excited to see my girl friend tomorrow night♡

Thursday nightt♡

Good night.

Roses are red

Hello world!

I am addicted to beautiful flowers these days.

May was a rose month.

Such a shame I didn't get to go see the rose gardens but I will on this coming Saturday...

Hope to still be able to see them♡

This morning I was walking to work and bumped into this beautiful thing♡

How relaxing!

They are eye medicines♡

Sharing happiness♡

I have been starting to think about studying to get some certificate,

like... something related to finance or business...

just in my spare time... :)

Hope this year will be awesome as always♡

Peony Saturday

Hello♡

Flowers are something special to me.

Just like coffee.

I like the smile people put on when they receive their coffee at the counter.

Flowers do that too.

Beautiful little special things♡

Yesterday I saw my girl friend who I didn't see since the beginning of the month.

She likes to decorate flowers in her room so, I wanted to give her the pink♡

Dean and Deluca Marunouchi

Usually Dean and Deluca cafes have marble tables and they are my favorite♡

Which one would you go for?♡

( Mine is the muffin on the right! )

I like to see people carrying around flowers.

It's just sweet to me.

Might as well do that to anybody I see from now on. hehe

My friend just got married and I am so excited♡

Life changing moment, that's so beautiful!

Nice, nice Sunday.

Gorilla coffee update

My favorite, our favourite.

Everyone's favorite coffee - Gorilla coffee

I really love the black and white tables they have.

Black, white, marble, repeat.

My table needs a flower.

I was looking for peonys on the way back home today and

none of the flower shops around had them...

Maybe not the season? or they don't grow in Japan?

Writing about Gorilla coffee every now and again but,

I go there too often that I need to update the photos sometimes.

Last night my crush said to me some cutest things.

So my Friday was even better than what Friday should be like.

#HopelessRomantic all the way♡

He promised me last night he will model for my photos too~♡

#Crushinframe

yay♡

Anyway.

Tomorrow I am seeing my bestie for the first time in ages!

So excited and we are going to some wonderful places♡

Can't wait!

Hope I can find a peony by the time I see her :) She likes flowers

I am in Tokyo

I was born in Yokohama, Japan.

Grown up in Tokyo and Sydney, Australia ( Bondi ).

Sydney was such a beautiful place.

I've traveled to Melbourne a couple times which I am madly in love with.

London, I stayed for a month and CA, USA is where I have my relatives in so I've visited quite often, I thought it was beautiful, really coutry place up in north.

And now I am back in Tokyo, been here for 2 years now and

I am looking for something beautiful every day.

Japan is such a small island with a lot of things squeezed in together.

There is no much blank space, the ocean water isn't crystal clear

Car roads are narrow and packed, there are paper advertisements and posters everywhere.

I mean, if you go to different cities to explore I am sure there are beautiful walls and beautiful flowers blooming and long wide and huge bridges crossing over the sea too in Japan.

No offence to Japan really, I do love my home country.

But in the end of the day, I did find something really beautiful in Japan too.

No matter what country you go to

this is where you end up seeking beauty and nourishing your eyes and soul.

Coffee is where our hearts belong to.

Oh home sweet home.

Starbucks

"Coffee geek friendly"

Oh thanks...

I really want to find beautiful places, beautiful things and

what's so good about Japan, and deliver the inspiration to the world...

I will keep exploring... keep seeking.

This weekend I am traveling to somewhere quite inspirational♡

Finally seeing my bestie! Yay♡

I will blog again.

iPHORIA loves♡

Marble addict... I sure am.

I was looking for marble iPhone cases and

iPHORIA came up on the top of the result and I fell in love.

Then another iPHORIA caught my eyes for iPhone5S.

They are pretty good, I've never had cases that only cover only one side of the phone

( I've always had ones that covered the screen too. )

But they work pretty good as they look.

Favorite book and my lovely iPhone5S x iPHORIA♡

Another favorite book♡

My iPhone5S seems to be always with books♡

I am absolutely in love with Black, White, Gold and... other colors, don't know, pearl or greige now.

Or pink as every year.

Monday is over and 4 more days to go people♡

Let's enjoy it♡

When life gives you lemons...

Spending weekend at home watching movies... or comedy... or whatever, drama series

everything is perfect when it's spent with coffee and a piece of awesome cake.

Of course it is.

Well it's a long story but my crush basically said no to my asking-out recently

and I was going to cry through the whole weekend but then

ELLEN ARRIVED. ( Ellen DeGeneres DVDs that I have ordered on Amazon weeks ago. )

No way I would spend my weekend crying and doing nothing, I would watch ELLEN. ( tough girl! )

Ellen has always helped me feeling better and made me laugh anywhere, anytime of my life.

( Laughter is the best medicine! )

I watched her comedy on YouTube every night to put myself asleep but I don't need to do that anymore! I feel so close to Ellen having this big picture of her on the DVD case I have just received. I am such a fan.

And I found this gorgeous necklace in a store I happened to pop in the other day.

I thought it would go great with my ZARA shirt♡

I am now absolutely in love with this style I have seen on a store display

I need that skirt, I need that nekclace and I need that shirt and I need to go to that store.

Keep dreaming girls... shopping is fun.

I have been gaining blog access recently and I am so happy that I have not even cried once over my crush!

I am so blessed, you know.

I will keep being #HopelessRomantic at everything♡

Have a fancy week ahead.

Love

Anna

Chanel Mademoiselle

I watched on TV

Marilyn Monroe said she wears Chanel No.5 in bed

when I was young as 9 or 10.

And I started wearing it ever since

until 18 when Mademoiselle came out.

Mademoiselle was exceptional.

I fell straight in love but was still in doubt.

Then my classmate(M.) came up to me and told me how amazing Mademoiselle is

and I needed to go get it.

And I did.

I am 24 and I can not think of anything else as a replacement.

There are a lot of beautiful scents in the world though.

I was in the store and found this amazing Mademoiselle-Body oil.

As you know, ( maybe you don't ) I am an oil fetishist and I love to drench myself in oil.

Like even olive oil could do. I just love the feel of it.

Is there any reason in particular I don't get this fantasy?

It smells like Mademoiselle, feels like mademoiselle and it's oil. ( Importantly. )

And what's so good about Chanel perfume is that everyone around you notices it.

"Hey do you wear Chanel?"

"Is that CHANCE?"

Well it's not, but I guess they are a bit similar.

I love belonging to this scent and love taken over by it.

Happily ever after~♡

Acvii Atelier

The other day I had a photoshoot at a hair salon called

Acvii Atelier in Kichijoji Tokyo

It was such a cute salon I wish I lived in a house like that

Underground studio ( salon space♡ )

They had this huge book shelf which I fell straight in love with!

It's big, and the positioning was just fabulous

the selection... stunning!

The handmade accessory brand called "UNI" they told me

I can't find the webpage or anything but I did fall in love with their little rings too.

So beautiful...

Please allow me to introduce this book to you if you are new to this.

This is a photobook of Scott Schuman.

Basically of street photos of beautiful people.

And it was beautiful.

The most beautiful photo book I have seen and I am obsessed now.

I am so inspired to take photos now though♡

Beautiful as my yet-to-see-future-daughters

Hello there!

Today I have met the most beautiful and the cutest pair of shoes at a store called RANDA. ( Japan )

I was just wandering around the store wasn't expecting to buy anything or looking for anything in particular at all then...

This just caught my eyes.

"Oh my..."

And I tried them on, 4 seconds later I was at the register buying them.

Seriously, if you bump into these shoes, you have no choice, you need them in your life really.

I didn't know but I seem to like pink,

or at least I like to surround myself in pink.

I used to be called "Pink", my nickname was.

I guess I like them really.

Laline Strawberry Milk

Laline is my favorite body care store of all times.

I dropped by there last night as I was running out of body scrub and I am a Laline addict.

How always so sweet is this store.

Just looking at it and staying here makes me happy.

( You can buy these lovely present boxes too! Which I am keen on collecting. )

 This time I bought strawberry milk body scrub♡

I still have the Vanilla body scream and they go well together♡

Can't wait to use them♡

Look at the Chanel Mademoiselle... I seem to really like these pale pink colours!
