'Vintage & Raw' : Never look too proper!

This dress I call, 'Orange Blossom' is probably one of the cheapest dresses I have. I bought it in a small vintage store in Harajuku, Tokyo. It was probably about 10 dollars. A true smart buy! Sometimes price doesn't mean anything, specially when buying vintage!
It's now my basic vintage dress. It's so comfy, yet girly and pretty. I can wear it to anywhere. I can make it look effortless so easily.
So, I wear it with my Alannah Hill white lace tights and as you know my leather ankle boots. I think the white floral lace pattern goes well white lace tights.

If it's sunny I'd put my heart shaped black sunnies on.
I like vintage but I don't like to wear all the way vintage. I love mixing vintage with current trends or something of another era. Also, I like having my hair down like a wild rock'n roll girl with my proper ladylike vintage dress. Because you know, in the 50's they would have their up, in a perfect bun with this kind of dresses. And they'd have matching bags and shoes, everything 'perfect' and matched. Too perfect is boring.

Too ladylike is boring for me. So I named this shoot 'Vintage & Raw'.
If you like vintage pieces like I do, I'd advise you to mix it with different styles and raw it up well.
Also, pay attention to the details of your vintage piece, so you don't over do it.
For example this dress has pearls on the neck, I don't need any earrings or necklace, perhaps I'd only wear a little pearl ring.
Lots of love,

XOXO

Tutu skirt, crop jumper, knee high socks

Tokyo fashion in Surry Hills & Strawberry Milkshake

Yeah, I'm totally cool to wear this to any occasion! 

I'm wearing my beloved electric blue tutu skirt, crop jumper both from  'Galaxy' store located in Shibuya and shiny blue sheer knee highs from Avant Garde, Harajuku. 

And I'm just casually hanging out on Crown street, Surry Hills, Sydney with my French photographer friend  Jonathan.  

I wore red lipstick, lots of mascara and I had extra large strawberry milkshake. 

Also I'm wearing my best mate leather ankle boots that I bought from Zomp! 

Life is full of magic! 

XOXO

                                               Hanamizz Twins & Me

I love my 'Hanamizz Twins' dress. I saw this dress first at the Wall boutique in Laforet shopping mall, but as it was my second day in Tokyo, I wanted to see and check more stores first.
So, I put the dress in mind somewhere. After few days, I came back for the dress but they didn't have the purple one anymore. They told us to go to their store in Parco.
I tried the dress in both color, white and purple. Purple was no doubt. It's got a beautiful illustration of the characters Hanamizz twins, designed by Yurie Sekiya. The dress is made of gorgeous silk.
It's super comfortable and soft on skin.

I also had the opportunity to meet the buyer and conceptor of the boutique,  mr. Yusuke Ishakawa.
Jonathan Jato took few photos of me with this dress during our 'Lolita Forever' photo shoot.

'The Wall' is definitely must visit store, if you are in Tokyo. I'd define 'The Wall' as being the true spirit of Tokyo fashion.  By 'spirit of Tokyo', I mean the each piece you can find there is unique. It's very Tokyo, very Japan. You can't find similiar clothes anywhere else in the world. It's stylishly and very fashionably kawaii. I wore this with my usual bowler hat, leather ankle boots, and pink lace socks in the photos below. I also wore the dress for a romantic dinner date by the Darling harbour this week and I threw my Wheels and Doll baby classic motorcycle leather jacket over it.

     This is what I call 'unique'.
