Yokohama Walk One

I was born in this place called Yokohama.

Which is located a little away from Tokyo.

I was born there and spent the first one month of my life there.

Watching factories' night lights and smoke coming out of chimneys.

Just like the photo above.

I was born and watched this coastal industrial area every night.

Yokohama is absolutely a beautiful place.

It's chilling and quieter than Tokyo.

The roads are wider and the green is greener.

People are friendly and you can see the sea.

I love it, still.

When I was in Sydney I lived in Bondi.

I guess I really like to be near the ocean.

Yokohama is a romantic date spot.

Especially Minatomirai. ( Check it out if you have a date, really. )

This is a rose garden and a quiet fountain.

I always drop by here whenever I come to Yokohama.

This park is called Minatonomieru Oka Kouen.

Really really relaxing place, Yokohama.

My crush and I are both from Yokohama and

went to Yokohama for our 3rd date

I was walking around alone last weekend and

I just wanted to come back here again with him

and he said yea let's~ :)

So... that's really driving me #HopelessRomantic again.

( Blog title don't lie! )

There are really... a lot of photos of Yokohama so

I am writing two articles for this Yokohama walk♡

Hope someone enjoys my hometown♡

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.

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~♡

Kick start of a long weekend

Good evening from Japan.

The most exciting thing about the long weekend holiday was the sleep over at my besties

even though we are great friends, we don't really get to spend two days together in a row so

and it turned out to be great!

We met at Omotesando station and went to Urth Caffe Omotesando.

I went there once when they just opened a store there and we thought it would be crazy packed but we could grab seats in the backyard.

Nice view♡

Even nicer view♡

We worked hard,

Mina has just started working in Japan for the first time in her life and

I got so much to do at work this year and...

we were exhausted, in a great way.

It was a huge break for both of us.

It was obviously a great breakfast and

the place was so... so relaxing.

Just didn't wanna get out.

That's how we started our incredible two day holiday♡

Aw how I miss it already!

I have been thinking about what exactly this blog is about and what category it belongs to

and I didn't think it belongs to fashion blog category or lifestyle blog category...

It is to me a blog of me blabbing all about my crush and how I am still mad in love with him after 4 months of just talking and just meeting every now and again and nothing happening.

I think I will be still talking about him for another few months, and this is where I let it all out I guess.

So... I call it either a #HopelessRomantic blog, or my-crush-and-I blog maybe.

I like to be inspired by all the fashionistas and lifestyle bloggers on instagram are just absolutely amazing and it's bliss to be able to interact with them.

But I am just a girl next door who is just fancying this guy who definitely isn't a Prince Charming or provides you a perfect movie romance, and I am loving it.

I am not a romance or lover addicted person at all.

This is the first time I fall for somebody in 5,6 years and I am feeling like a teenager again.

A workaholic 24 years old Japanese girl ( who has grown up in Australia ) now, going totally crazy for a 32 years old Japanese hair dresser, isn't that interesting? I find it is.

Well... I would appreciated it so much, if you could wish me good luck♡

Early Morning Glory

There is this friend of mine

who I met when we were 2, and hung out until 10 ish

then we didn't for ages... and

we got back in touch for the first time after 15 years ish recently.

He apparently works far away but he was back home for a couple days so

we caught up casually in the morning at 4 and drove to the harbor.

Random drive!

We literally didn't meet for years so I didn't know what he was doing but

he said he takes photos too so... we were hanging around doing some photos there.

Hmm sunrise♡

Cardigan : Forever21

Tops : ZARA

Jeans : ZARA

Accessories : Bershka and forever21

This is my favorite place to see the sunrise.

We often come here for the first sunrise of the year, I think I did in 2014.

Morning high.

This area is called Minatomirai.

Which is a part of Yokohama and Yokohama is my birth city so...

Basically it's like my home town!

I used to come here every week and hung around myself for hours...

just like walking around for 7 hours with my camera- or even without it. I am purely in love.

We all need that Heineken, don't we?

That always makes me pose next to it and take some tourist photos.

( I've done that a couple times ehehe )

Beautiful sunrise and... the morning glory I am deeply in love.

( The best spot to see the sunrise is Osanbashi-Bridge, check it out when you are up there! )

How I wished I didn't need to go to work afterward.

Waking up at 3 and finishing work at 6pm. huh.

Well I did it.

Photographers~♡

I am 5 foot 3 short/162cm.

My grandfather is a photographer and I use canon camera.

I work full time at the office.

I mostly wear pink and white and a bit of blue♡

A little bit about myself:)

Thanks for reading♡

Holy-Day at Canal Cafe

Hello there! Good evening from Japan.

Japan has these amazing random holidays around April-May ( a lot of them. )

and today it was a normal Wednesday and a holiday so

it was a time for my bestie and I to hang out to explore Tokyo!

Canal Cafe next to Iidabashi station.

It's a riverside cafe that I have dreamt of coming!

We waited a bit but patient Mina

"That's all right we can wait."

And we waited in a line.

It was a beautiful cafe, more beautiful than I have expected actually.

I have read about this cafe on my favorite blog though,

it was stunning, surrealistic even.

And how many years have I dreamt of having someone leaning on this fence thingy

looking out at the river in front of me,

and taking photos of them!

Such a dreams come true day.

Bitter sour iced coffee.

( My expression level; bitterness. )

Only if Tokyo rivers were more blue or transparent.

It was just deep green so, well, um it's good to see, not very photogenic.

That was also one of my dreams to stick my feet out of the fence and touch the water...

( Couldn't quiet reach the water... but they were close, to the boat. )

Pink♡

I am a white loving girl but I always think I like pink as well.

Well... it I was to pick between blue and pink I would definitely pick pink straight away anyway.

Today's ootd was a casual white-pink outfit ( mostly from Japanese stores. )

Pink gaucho pants : Auntie Rosa ( My fav clothes store. )

Accessories : Forever21 and Bershka

Tops and hat unknown but they are loose and white.

Today was a wonderful day.

We have two working days ahead and then we have a looong weekend holiday coming up!

Exciting! Thanks to May!

Happy Spring!

Garage Lounge and Exhibit.

Hello good day!

Like...

Okay it's a personal thing but I have a crush on a guy.

And whenever I talk about him to my girl friends they are like

"Aren't you guys going out? You sound like a couple."

But I am sure we aren't.

Well it's just my crush though.

And the thing is...

I don't know if I am becoming a friend to him or he is still interested in me!

( #Girlproblems! )

He texted me today ( our workplaces are really close. )

and asked me out for lunch but I was like "Umm... I am at home."

and he was like Oh right today's Sunday, can I ask you out again?

I am like UGAWWW.

Can I be your girlfriend. ( Please? )

Anyways.. ( I am sorry about this raging. )

I am writing about this beautiful cafe in Kiyosumishirakawa.

Apparently they opened fairly recently.

It was raining though, I like wet roads.

The light reflections are beautiful!

This cafe seems to be run by a designer. ( Interior designer )

I like the exterior of it, yellow and kind of greyish. Very photogenic.

We are apple pie lovers. ( Unofficial. )

And writing this blog article is now resulting in me running out of the house, go on an apple pie seeking journey straight after publishing this article.

a

I live to eat. I eat to live. ( Kudos! )

That's what I am talking about. ( See! )

Now you don't even need to finish writing a blog article, you are only reading it,

you can go running out of the house go grab the best apple pie and come back then

continue reading my blog with the fabulous apple pie you have got right next to you.

*Drools uncontrollably*

I had a curry with a lot of beautiful decorations ( Mushroom and stuff ) on it.

Mushrooms are my favorite food.

Oh that reminded me that my crush and I had a debate before.

Me "Hey what vegetable do you like best?"

Him "Umm... I don't know, never really thought about it."

Me "I like mushrooms."

Him "Oh my god, how dare you call mushrooms "vegetables" they are mushrooms, not categorized as vegetables. If mushrooms were included then of course mushrooms are for the win."

I was like wow okay beautiful enthusiasm.

Anyways.

That cafe really turned out to be my favorite so I am visiting there when I am seeing my bestie ( the girl in a white knit sweater. )

Ahh it's Sunday and why have I no plan to go to a cafe...

I guess because this morning I saw a huge earthquake warning and got freaked out and started packing towels in my backpack and got tired. ( Silly me! teehee. )

I will, tomorrow.

Or day after at least.

Please look forward to more articles coming! I got so much to write about!
