tokyo1






(Karen Walker sunglasses, Zara jacket, Pink Adobe dress, Target socks, Miu Miu clogs, vintage bag)

Arrived in Tokyo a few days ago...spent the first night at my grandparent's place, went shopping with my mom and aunt, saw most of my rather extensive family out here in one way or another, met Colin at our hotel after he flew out separately, took him immediately to some strange party on the second floor of a sushi restaurant in honor of my mom where he was called both Tom Cruise and Tony (??) and my hair was pet by strangers, attempted to act as interpreter between him and my grandparents, ended up at only one train station by accident, watched multiple people around me eat fish intestines, discovered the wonder of pocket heaters, semi-jogged a mile in freezing cold rain, started to not miss the instant everything-ness of my iPhone, spent about 2000% more on food than clothing, including corn soup flavored chips and bear shaped bread, burnt my tongue on some of the best coffee of my life, and bought this little striped smock dress. Next up: working with Elle Girl Japan, shopping in Harajuku, hopefully having dinner with my favorite uncle, and a trip to the countryside.

juliana said...

My first time commenting on your blog, I love your style, it's so effortless and romantic-ish with your thin as paper slipdresses. I went to Tokyo 2/3years ago and it is utterly breathtaking and amaaaaaazing. Harajuku has THE best vintage finds for allllllllllllllll styles. I can't remember for the life of me the name of the store I went to in Harajuku but it's about 4/5 stories and every floor is a different vintage store. I scored an awesome dress for less than $5!!! I only wish I spent more time sifting through the racks, they were even sorted by prices ! Tokyo is just so magical....the food is delicious...if you've never had it before you MUST have some okonomoyaki and takoyaki...I have to go back soon.

Rumi--Love your blog! I've never commented on it before but the posts have been especially awesome lately so I thought I would! Reading about your eye surgery was fantastic! Maybe one day I will get over being too scared to try it. Please post about what you wear on long flights--this is always hard for me to figure out and I'm sure have some good ideas. Have fun in Tokyo--an good look with renting a phone--I always have heaps of trouble trying to use the phone in Japan.

Your life sounds like so much fun. I know that no life is perfect and everyone has problems...but people like you seem to have it so good. I admire you for having worked so hard to achieve your dreams - I recognize that this took effort. At the same time, I am horridly, pettily, resentfully jealous of you for being the type of person who is sufficiently motivated and talented to achieve success.

I don't know why I'm writing this. My life has been on a downward spiral since...well, birth, it seems. Your ascent in the fashion world has occurred concurrently with my worst descents over the past year or two. I guess I just want to tell you how fortunate you are to have a life most people only dream of - world travel, glamour, public recognition... You deserve your success. I hope that you value it as much as I would if I were in your shoes.

All the best,

I will be in Japan this weekend for my first time. I seriously cannot wait. Seeing your outfit posts I do worry, as I have bought clothes to really rug up in because it is still cold maybe it's just because I come from Australia and the temperatures in Japan now are colder than it ever gets in winter here.
Can't wait, seeing this post has made me even more exciting, can't wait to hear more about your trip!
