Asaksua

My second day in Tokyo was spent touring Asaksua to see the Sensoji Buddhist temple and the tallest tower in the city, Tokyo Skytree. It was the most touristy day filled with several stops and activities.

 I knew I had to be comfortable in the insane humidity and crowds, so I chose this American Apparel romper, my Supergas, and topped it off with a straw hat. 

I would suggest taking half a day to go to Tokyo Skytree to see the breathtaking 360 degree view of the city... then quickly see Sensoji. The temple was very grand and beautiful, but very crowded and chaotic. I much prefer the calmer secluded temples in Kyoto, nevertheless this was still a beautiful sight. 

Stay tuned for more Japan posts to come.

Spring & Summer Essentials: What's In My Bag

I'm celebrating my 100th post by showing you my spring & summer essentials and the things I'm loving at the moment.

1. Bandeau bikini tops are a must for me during summer because I cannot stand tan lines on my chest. I don't need a lot of support in the chest department, so I can get away with wearing them 24/7 in the summer. 
2. I'm also loving these Aid Through Trade beaded bracelets because they come in tons of colors and sparkle in the light. They're  inexpensive and the money is going to a good cause.
3. I always need lotion and lip balm so it's a given that they're included in my essentials. I'm really loving this black pepper & ginger scent from Antiguan Aromas and the Fresh Sugar Rosé lip balm.
4. Of course I need my electronics such as iPhone 5, Polaroid camera, and bluetooth MP3 player to keep me occupied by the pool.
5.  Aside from electronics, like to do a bit of reading to entertain me. I'm really interested in fashion and style books naturally, but I really enjoy reading fiction as well. I'm currently reading the first Game of Thrones book because I love the TV series so much.
6. Lastly, I protect myself from the sun with some SPF 75 and my polarized Ray Ban Club Master II.  

I tote everything around in this vintage woven market bag. It adds the perfect amount of casualness to any outfit.

What are you spring & summer essentials? Comment below and tell me.

Do you want to go to the plage with me?

Rebonjour my readers. Yes, this post means I am back from my two week trip to France. I can't express how much of an amazing time I had. I would go back tomorrow for another two weeks if I could. This is just one of a few posts I will do about what I did (and more importantly what I wore) while in France.

This was during my stay in Toulouse for the first week with my host family. We went to the Gruissan plage, dipped our feet in the water and took some pictures. After, we went to small town near by where we climbed to the top of a medieval church and saw the amazing view of the town and water.

 I decided to keep the look bright with this orange shirt that you saw in my last post. To make it oh-so-French I layered it with a striped scarf. The weather was around 60 degrees most days so I could get away with skirts, but only with a scarf on top. 

Keep a look out for the next France post which I will pepper in with my regular outfit posts. I hope you had a great Easter holiday. 

Columbia University

This past week I spent a few days with my paper at the Columbia Scholastic Press Association conference in New York. 

I haven't talked about it much on here, but being a writer and features editor for my paper has really turned me on to Journalism. That's why I'm going to major in Communication or Journalism at college.

 Now sadly, I'm not attending Columbia (haha), but being there was so magical and it made me realize how passionate I am about Journalism. 

Columbia is such a beautiful school, if you are around Washington Heights, I highly suggest checking out the breathtaking dome library.
