Hopeless Romantic under the dim light

Hello, hello!

It's been so long since I've updated this blog...

I've been just too much of a workaholic over the past few... weeks... months... yes months.

Today is 31st of October and it's the birthday of the most beloved, important person of mine.

We are far apart but let me wish you a wonderful, blessed day from Tokyo, Japan♡

I have been chasing my dream, as well as working hard lately.

When you find a living purpose, living everyday becomes much more meaningful and simple.

Because you know exactly what you want, and what you don't need...♡

Anyway!

I am excited to announce that

I have been collaborating with this amazing blogger team from Italy - Not Only Mama

I write blogs in English and Japanese, and Not Only Mama makes it into Italian as well!

How wonderful! Italian - Japanese blogs :)♡　You can't find many of them!

Wine red is always my favorite in Autumn and Winter...♡

And flower print long skirts is ... my thing♡

It's everybody's thing! Of course!

It's so hard to find a perfect skirt though, need a couple of them for the winter♡

As well as I love wine red...

I am deeply in love with knit sweaters♪

Winter's necessity!

Everytime I go to Yoyogi park, I see trees in different colours.

The whole view is different. It's really romantic.

The sunlight shining through from different directions.

The leaves are sometimes thin- sometimes so heavy that sunlight doesn't come through-

Nature is wonderful.

Next month will be the businest month of this year.

Then December is a ... PARTY♡

Of course it is! It is every year. It must be.

The year is almost ending... it's surreal.

May the rest of your year be filled with wonder and joy♡

I love you all, good night for me, have a great time to all of you♡

Aoyama Flower Market Tea House

Dear lovers♡

Terrible of me that I haven't updated my blog for centuries

My work got busy and I had to do some designs at work and...
didn't really get to use computer for personal use...

Finally got it back now♡

As I wrote on Instagram...

I am writing about this incredibly beautiful cafe in Aoyama Tokyo

Aoyama flower market -  Tea house

Flower shop... is the entrance

of the tea specialized cafe.

I have posted so many photos of this amazing cafe on my instagram and

many people liked the photos, like I do.

I will write a blog about this cafe♡

There is always a queue waiting to get in the cafe

( 60 minutes queue usually, like in Disney land! )

So I gave up on going in there though...

Last time when my friend and I dropped by

luckily we walked in without waiting for a minute!

Never look so different but

every time I go there the flowers and arrangements are different

small differences but keeps on entertaining us.

Beautiful arrangement

There are flowers everywhere in the cafe.

On the tables on the wall, on the blocks...

I've told you a couple times,

my dream is to run a flower and coffee cafe.

Visiting this place is really inspiring and

expanding my dream ideas...♡

Most photogenic cafe that I know in Tokyo.

For sure.

( So far. )

These tiny tiny roses definitely brightened our table♡

They are alive! not fake flowers.

Cutest roses I've seen.

Photographers... never stop their hands when their food arrives...♡

We spend a few hours before starting to eat our food....

Well not a few hours but we do...

Ahaha

We keep on arranging the table and taking photos

rearrange it and photograph again

again and again

until the food is cold

#Relatable

Beautiful cafe

The food was marvellous.

We were deciding between ice cream and chicken sandwich ( not sure why )

And we both somewhat chose chicken sandwich ( not sure why... )

And it was the best chicken sandwich I've had in ...

Japan.

( No, no exeggeration. Really. )

I shall drop by there when there are less people again

to have their rose ice cream♡

What a fantastical place really...

This cafe and their flowers-

never let us down♡

Love you!

As I wrote on Instagram

last sunday I went to this beautiful museum in Roppongi.

With my bestie♡

Totally my #weekendgoals♡

It was genuinely an inspiring place.

I have been doing nothing but work for quite a while so..

I haven't really been interacting with artworks at all.

It was a big wake up call for me.

So white and so simple, technologies everywhere.

There are a lot of museums in Roppongi but this place now is my favorite♡

This train thing was really romantic. Was like a part of a movie.

It really engages you.

You can have heaps of fun there.

It's a small museum so I don't know if you can spend a whole day in there but

you sure would love it♡

White, my favorite world♡

This cafe was next to the museum

we popped in because it looked cute but

they had beautiful food and coffee.

And smoothie.

I need to have the smoothie next time♡

Whenever we meet we usually meet at 11 or 12 at noon and

go home at 5 or 6 ish to go home and work..

Just that 5 hours is so neccessary to us. So relaxing..

Next weekend I will be doing something else but I can see her in July again~♡

Exciting♡

Beautification♡

Sometimes...

All you need is a Sex and the city...♡

I own the whole series of drama and movies

I just want one whole weekend off and want to watch them all but

just never really got time to...

#HopelessRomantic

Only if I was so good at taking selfies and filming myself

I don't really think I can do a make up tutorial or any of the sort so well so

I can only introduce these beautiful products by describing and by photographing but...

I have been learning a conservative everything,

conservative make up, conservative hair do,

conservative outfits...

and this Estee Lauder lipstick is a sheer masterpiece.

I won this lipstick at a party so wasn't really aware of the name of the color e.t.c. but

it says it's called Sakura blossom♡

How cute!

This is really smooth and moisturising, and it's pretty pink even though it looks really beige.

Perfect for a conservative situation I usually wear it at work♡

Have you heard of this cosmetic brand called RMK?

It's a Japanese brand, they have beautiful pastel colors and foundations.

And of course their brow powders are perfect color for Japanese faces...

RMK was the first brand to advertize eye brow mascara and 

today all the stores started selling eye brow mascaras

their brow mascara certainly is wonderful.

You should use a brush when using the mascara too to comb through your brow♡

I was sort of addicted to MAC lipsticks at times.

Whenever you see a MAC store there are a shelf full of lipsticks right there!

Who wouldn't be addicted to!

This lipstick is "Candy Yum Yum" which is as the name says... Yummy.

( And that's the very reason why I bought it. )

It's very matte and I like the non glossy look.

I before liked NYX vivid pink but this texture is great too.

My Clinique cheek color ( there is a daisy blooming in the case♡ )

is "Ginger Pop".

I was avoiding the sun but I started getting tanned slightly and

I saw my face and I didn't really mind it so

I rather bought a cheek color that matches the slightly tanned skin for summer♡

As everybody loves, I was going to get Melon ( The new color came out in April )

but Ginger Pop was more solid and orange yet pinky.

I introduced this cheek color to my bestie Mina and she (never worn cheek color before) bought it straight away

I think it's a great color, at least it is in summer!♡

Should I slow down?

Recently my model friend introduced Helena Rubinstein mascaras to me.

She said it brings your lashes really up and keep the curls the whole day.

I tried all the Helena Rubinstein mascaras at the store and...

ended up falling deeply in love with this girl.

Lash queen mystic blacks

As you can see there is a brush on one side.

and another side is a comb.

So you brush through your lashes and comb it.

It stays firmly around the eyes and when you comb them...

you can't believe how long your lashes are!

It's really fun to test it even.

I fell in love at first use♡

Hope I can show you sometimes...

By selfie or something... (ugh... giving a try!)

And lastly!

(Thanks for reading such a long article!)

Maybe they only sell these products in Japan.

This hair cream called "Scream"

is a wonderful cream I have met at a hair salon recently.

My hair is super thin and going everywhere usually but

this works better than any oil I have tried.

( I used to be a hair dresser, just saying )

If you are having a hair prob because your hair is thin and not really manageable and such...

you should find a salon where uses this cream and try it♡

( Maybe only in Japan though. )

I think I can go the rainy season this year with this cream♡

Yay!

Thanks for reading! Ask me any questions.

Cafe de la ville

Hello!

It's been a while since the last update...

It's been crazy busy at work last week and

As I wrote on Instagram

( I think I did.... not sure, I did right )

I have been kind of promoted at work and it's been really...

I don't know I have been well anyway busy with everything!

I will need to go through a job interview process all over again and I need a lot of luck!

This is my favorite cafe- Cafe de la ville.

There are two shops, one is this take away stand for French toast.

One is a cafe- a panini cafe.

Oh by the way this photo was regramed by this amazing instagrammer - @mas_fotokopi

And received a lot of likes♡

It's really flattering and I love it when someone likes my photos.

Please tag me when regramming my photos but I am absolutely happy for you to!

Anyway...

Cafe de la ville is a beautiful cafe with a lot of white round tables and straw chairs.

Black and grey sofas and the interior is just gorgeous.

I am learning a natural and office appropriate make up these days ahaha

My office is funky and they don't mind whatever I am wearing- but...

Yea I will have to have a job interview so ( again. )

And of course I went to the french toast store too♡

Strawberry french toast and a cappuccino.

It feels great, not really a place to chill for an hour but it was tasty♡

( As you can obviously see. )

I like both, if I want to eat a lot, definitely a panini store.

They have a different panini everyday so... fun too♡

Yummy!

By the way, I want to say

thank you so much to all the 700 followers.

It's been 2 months since I started instagramming and

there are people who watch my instagram to check out Japan and...

I am really flattered to be known as a Japanese Instagrammer.

( or the instagrammer in Japan )

I like to find beautiful things in Japan and I want to keep conveying so...

Hope I could be a good tour guide to you over instagram!

Providing Japan info for the time you visit Japan~♡

And make up, fashion, inspiration... lifestyle...

everything we need in our lives.

Well have a wonderful week we sure will enjoy it.

Shoeholics are...

Recent purchase list...♡

As I said long ago, somebody told me before that Yves Saint Laurent does the best pink.

So I always chase after the best pink.

And when I am after pink lipsticks I always go back to YSL.

Volupte Sheer Candy

No 9♡

Blush Volupte 2 Seductrice♡

The pink on the cheek looks really natural and glowing♡

When we were young people always said people who own a lot of pairs of shoes are sexually frustrated..

Or whatever, that rumor was going around a lot.

Are they? wait, are we?

Anyway, this pair of lacy high heels from RANDA ( Japanese shoe shop ) are just wonderful.

They first felt a bit strange but they are perfectly fit now and I just wish high heels were a part of my body.

Ah we gotta love perfect high heels♡

Tumblr : Anna Kirishima

Flickr : Anna Kirishima

Stay connected♡

So this is the second article of Yokohama Walk♡

It might go over another one more... so many photos!

Hope someone enjoys the Japan photos♡

This is Motomachi shopping street.

Downtown-like but posh♡

This is where I come to, when I want to see the roses.

Yamashita-Koen ( Park ).

This green... aw, so soothing.

I was too late to go there but usually this place is a huge rose garden in May.

Beautiful Sunday♡

The photogenic water fountain is in the middle of the park!

Other side of the road, there are beautiful buildings.

Wedding photo~♡

Hydrangeas started to bloom....♡

The white ones are called "Annabelle" which is my favorite.

June will be an exciting month too!

It was a real hot sunny day...

And I walked back to the station.

Minatomirai Station

Amusement park!

Looks like a little town♡

Inside a shopping center~♡

Yokohama is a place where industrial things and nature meet.

I find it beautiful, there are skyscrapers and... flower blooming.

Well, surrealistic sometimes.

This summer feels♡

I want to go up to the top of that balcony! that's so cute♡

I was so, so tired after walking all around Yokohama and...

went home, realized I got so sunburnt.

Haha :( Need to be real careful this summer!

Thanks for coming by and hope my information helps♡

Please visit Yokohama when you are ever in Japan♡

♡
