Coucou

Hello my friends. How are you doing? I am fine but hunger is killing me. Yep, the hunger games have officially started for me on Saturday as it is Ramadan, holiest month of all for Muslims around the world. Ramadan is not only a great time to reflect one one self, one's doing and one's shortcomings, but it is also a time to make more Duas and praise GOD more. However, this month brings other not so good things like starvation, binge eating, bloatedness, tiredness, sleepiness and much more. However, it is just for 30 days or less and all for a good cause so let us bare it all.

Anyway, had to go out today so I wore this:

White scarf - Walmart
Cardigan - Old navy
Top - Gift from the hubby
Pants - Shimamura
Shoes - Thrifted

I am wearing all primary colors in this outfit: yellow, green, red....my bag was blue but I forgot to include it in the pic. Actually the outfit was inspired from a pic  I saw on Pinterest. I think it was from last year's J Crew collection. Check it out here

I did not have a top with a dramatic bow but I had this one in linen the hubby got me as a souvenir from a trip to Bangkok me some 6 or 7 years ago. It is sleeveless so I had to layer with a cardigan. Fortunately it was not too hot. Truth be told I wanted to wear heels but I did not see myself running in heels...Fasting, hungry, hot and in heels...not for me! Maybe another day!














I really dig the simplicity of the outfit inspired by the J Crew pic. I have to say that I am not very familiar with the brand. However, I own a thrifted J Crew tee and it is the softest tee I ever worn. I wished all my tees were that soft. And with a glance at the J Crew lookbook for this Fall on Pinterest, I see a lot of J Crew inspired outfits in my future. Call me clairvoyant!

Korea Krazy

Have you watch Japanese TV recently? Everywhere channel to zap to, there is some Korean boys or girls band singing or some Korean drama being aired. Some channels even have so much program around Korean stars that one may wonder if they are watching Korean TV? Japan is going through what they call the "second wave of Korean Boom". Translation, the Koreans are invading Japan with their music, fashion and culture. The first wave started with the famous Korean drama "Fuyu no Sonata" in 2003, and from that moment Japanese have been obsessed with Korea. Korean actors became famous and adored all over the place. And the Korean economy took a boost with many Japanese visiting Korea and shopping like crazy. Now since 2010, the second wave has started but it is more about singers. Bands like Kara, Girls Generation, Tohoushinkei 2PM (to name a few) perform regularly in Japan in front of millions of fans. And up and coming K-pop singers are making their mark in small Korean

Best place to shop in Japan (Tokyo/ Yokohama)

 When I moved back to Japan, I created this blog to talk about my fashion life here. However, I realised that I am not really doing any of it. I talk more about me and less about fashion life in Japan. That is why I decided the following posts will deal only about shopping in Japan. Today, I will talk about my favorite places to shop in Tokyo, Yokohama area. This post maybe long, so bear with me. Zara  My best friend showed me the Spanish brand. And I have been hooked ever since. I am 1.68m, and weigh 60 kilos (one a good day). I have wide hips and a big bottom. Therefore it was always hard for me to find pants my size in Japan. (If you dont' have no idea what Japanese women look like, just think of Lindsay Lohan or Nicole Richie. They-mostly young girls-are petite and weigh around 48 kilos.)Sometimes I had to shop in men's place to find something my size. But this stopped when I discovered Zara. Before going to live in the States, almost all my pants were from Zara. The

Barbie shoes

Barbie Pink Shoes Since I have been back in Japan, I have been so busy that I didn't have time to window shop (plus I am temporarily living in a not so hip part of town). However my daily trips to the supermarket and family restaurants made me notice something interesting/ strange I would like to call Barbie shoes. I think every girl my age or younger living in rich or somehow developing countries knows what a Barbie doll is.I used to dream of owning one after I saw my cousins who came back from the US having a box full of them plus accessories/ I finally owned several of them including one of my favorite: a black Barbie. Anyway, remember the Barbie rubber shoes? They used to be in rubber and in pink color? Well, I saw the exact same thing one some Japanese woman's feet just a few days ago. Now Barbie shoes are different from your usual rubber shoes or jelly sandals. They have heels and the pair I saw was bright pink. I wanted to learn more about the shoes. Therefore, I we
