Kidrobot For Swatch

Clearly advertising works. I opened to the first spread in this month’s Nylon Japan (my most favourite magazine) and knew I had to own this watch. Reasons are as follows: 1. I am a sucker for sunshine yellow 2. I quite like Kidrobot 3. I wanted a new watch. Combine all 3 and I ended up with a watch I love even though it ticks too loudly and can’t have [...]

 

Cafe & Meal, MUJI, Aoyama

The newest addition to the Tokyo MUJI Cafe family opened up a few weeks ago in Aoyama. As you would expect from MUJI, the place is simple yet stylish with all the furnishings, unsurprisingly, MUJI products.

 

 

An afternoon in Aoyama

My current online shopping obsession is ASOS. This patchwork dress is conveniently loose, which makes it a good dress for gorging yourself and not have anyone notice your post meal belly. It’s a strange length though, too long to be a jumper but perhaps a little short to be a dress. I just wear leather shorts underneath it so I don’t shock too many unsuspecting Japanese.

 

Marc Jacobs Aoyama store opening after party, Le Baron

Don’t photograph yourself with models unless you want to look like their short, overexcited friend. 3. Don’t bring your nice make up out with you. I dropped and smashed my Nars blush and completely smooshed my MAC lipstick. Sigh. These points aside, it [...]

 

Kua 'Aina Burger

After many recommendations for Kua ‘Aina, I decided to check this place out to see if it could top The Great Burger. To put it simply: it didn’t. Don’t get me wrong, Kua ‘Aina make a decent burger but it just wasn’t spectacular. I took advantage of their anniversary burger special which only cost me ¥950 for a set – which was a price I liked. Trouble was, there wasn’t [...]

 

Mama's got a brand new bag

I got this amazing Laura Di Maggio leopard print bag from my new favourite shop – L’Appartement in Aoyama. It may be a little Eurotrash if worn the wrong way but I think it’s pretty damn cool. I also picked up a super comfy and perfectly fitting James Perse tee from there too. Love, love, love this shop! Nico, if I have to leave Japan early because I’m broke, I’m [...]
