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!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

My parents and I all happened to be free and got to go on a little trip down to the beach for a day :)

It's her birth town and where I've visited regularly when I was a child.

Nice place! Really. I miss it there.

Lovely fences♡

It was cloudy but still... ocean is beautiful anyway.

We went to a buffet restaurant by the sea for the Mother's day lunch♡

She can bring the sun out but I cover it with clouds.

That's how mother and daughter roll I guess.

( I don't know. I am the storm girl usually. )

We had a great day.

Love you mum♡ Thank you always.

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!

My weekday

Hello!

As I always write, I wear white... almost only white because my crush told me he liked me in white...

#Hopelessromantic

#Crushproblems

#Girlproblems

Sighs.

I like the color white itself too so it's all good :)

At Ebisu Garden Place - Tokyo, Japan.

Jacket : H&M

Tops : MIIA ( Japan )

Skirt : Auntie Rosa ( Japan )

Shoes : R&E ( Japan )

Coffee : Starbucks mocha.

And of course I am writing about a cafe today too!

Gorilla Coffee Tokyo Japan

( From Brooklyn )

My crush tweeted about this place and I have always wanted to go to Gorilla Coffee since I first heard about them coming to Japan and...

Now I am addicted.

I am always here and I sometimes feel like I could even say I suddenly got sick to the boss in the middle of the day and leave work and stay here the rest of the day.

It's just really.... good.

I like the big long table in the middle of the cafe.

It's tall and I actually like the white tiles!

Oh and... I must mention this that

the bean they use for latte/cappuccino is called espresso a go go and

the cappuccino I had was really, no jokes the best cappuccino I had this year.

They bring out the flavor of the milk really really well!

I am not really a fan of milk + espresso beverages but it was beautiful... peaceful taste too.

This is the table that I was talking about♡

You can see FRIDAYS out of the window from the second floor.

It's nice. Only if there weren't so many constructions going on around.

At least you feel peaceful up there...♡

Honestly, white is much better than black do you agree?

When I have my own cafe I will put a lot of white tables and some dark browns,

white tables are just so photogenic! I am looking for cafes with white tables but can't really find any in Tokyo...

Maybe I haven't tried hard enough!

Will write again soon.

Crush and Filbert steps.

Filbert steps.

Such a sophisticated large cafe at the corner of a block near Yoyogi park.

I have always fancied of coming here but they don't have eat-in food ( do they? )

not that I know of, so I haven't been there to sit and eat yet.

They are what is so attractive about this cafe!

Coffee Geek Friendly! Jar! Rawr!

I saw these on a magazine and it was my dream to find this place and buy them.

( I haven't yet... I will, I will. )

On a really sunny day,

my crush texted me asking if I was free for lunch.

It is always sunny when we meet, like no exception ever.

The whole week could be rainy but still that one day we meet is sunny.

Unbelievably, I am so sure he can control the weather.

I was already eating lunch though I said I was near him and we met up

then it was so sunnyyyy♡

( Of course! Us together the sun always shines! )

And even balloons smile when he is there.

( I am a hopeless romantic apparently. )

These balloons weren't there the next day even though it wasn't raining!

I am sure they came out to see him♡

( Mmmm so in love even though I am not even his girlfriend♡Ha...ha.... *looks away* )

I had to go back to work, we were walking up the street and...

I realized

"Hey! I just remember that I have to grab a coffee! Can we go to that store?"

He was like ...? Okay?

He is a coffee lover who is trying not to drink coffee so much

( He drank app 10 cups a day so he tries not to now. ugh, more than me. )

We grabbed a... Ethiopian? I can't believe I can't remember the origin of the beans, I was just too in love ( Sorry! )

coffee, they were really good that I keep on wanting to go back there everyday but it has been raining over the past couple days that I couldn't...

This week finally I should be able to again ( without him would the sun comes out says hi? )

So I am thinking of grabbing a coffee there again, maybe chill there for a while this time :)

Coffee could be so special when you have it with someone so special.

Cafe provides you a very special time for you and your company though... coffee does that too.

Beautiful memory, hope I can bump into him again and have a coffee together♡

Mmmm it turned out to be just a hopeless romantic blog! Sorry!

I can't wait for the cafe date with my bestie again on this Sunday!

Stay tuned for the report♡

I will report well♡
