(Monki sweater via Filippa's mailing service...sounds dirty but it isn't, Hanes men's undershirt, J Brand/Henry Duarte jeans courtesy of J Brand, Jeffrey Campbell boots, vintage Chanel backpack)
A ride on the train to Roppongi. The goal - to show Colin Tokyo Tower. When I was little I lived right in this area but you wouldn't know it from the path we took there. Parents always expect you to remember the slightest things from before memory and a sense of direction were functioning things, and my mom later made sure to express shock that I didn't show him our exact old apartment building, especially when I was right next to "The Tunnel" (an underground pathway sure to have a million others just like it scattered across the city). Of course. Anyway, we got out of the Ebisu station (don't even ask why we didn't take the subway..no one knows the answer to that question), chose a random direction to walk in, quickened the pace as the sun threatened to set, felt relieved when signs confirmed it was actually the right one, walked/froze a while longer, got out all the gloves, hats, and pocket heaters we had on us, gave up and hailed a cab, marveled at how much longer we would have had to walk as the driver turned in multiple un-guessable directions, and finally landed in the middle of Roppongi with the landmark well in sight and a cafe to duck into. What I do remember from my childhood and that high rise apartment is looking out at the Tokyo Tower from the room I shared with my brother on winter mornings and inspecting just how high the clouds and fog were obscuring it and how much of it's tip was still visible before getting going for the day. Which is actually what I would prefer to retain over things like directions and points of reference. Most of the time I have my iPhone to do all of that for me anyway.

looking good! love the peachy coloured sweater!

Ah Roppongi. It's really weird reading your posts about it (and being in Japan in general) because I've been in the same areas literally a couple of weeks ago, but it already seems light years away. And it's interesting how the difference in our photos make it seem sooo different - seen through different eyes. I wish i had a boyfriend (or anyone, any friend, really) who was with me that was half as good as taking pictures of me as Colin is!
you rock !
you have an amazing blog! love all your pics
you are perfection!
lvoe the colour of that sweater

its surreal to see fashiontoast in locations that im so familiar to, and tokyo seems much more beautiful through your lens. I dont know how long you're staying here, but hopefully long enough so i can bump into you!
sakura forecasted to blossom by the 24th--hope you guys are here to enjoy it. hope you guys enjoy the best of it here! tanoshindene.
The first two pictures showcase a rather creative use of modern features! Congrats.

i <3<3<3 the color of your sweater! that pale pink is so pretty.

you might have been warmer had you worn tights... jeans do nothing to keep the cold out and the warm in.

beautiful sweater
hehe you kinda look like a fashionable female Jesus in these photos with your hair and the headband! It's cool reading your Japan posts b/c it kinda feels like we get more of a peek into your life and past :)
WHAT are you wearing on your eyelids in that first pic??? Gawjuhzzzzz *_*
Only really beautiful can pull off a oversized sweater and black pants as cool and hi-fashin~
That's a complement btw.
On an unrelated note, you might want to be careful with those speed shots. People who haven't slept in 2 days and are running 4 cans of redbull might feel like it's real and nearly get an heart attack. Just saying...
Amazing!!
i think that on pictures 7 & 9. why so many wearing mask?? is there a virus in your town??
wow this babes so cool simple outfit and simple beauty makes you gorgeous.
love you..
Love the look of that headband!
living vicariously through your travels is a true delight. you look beautiful!
WOOWWWW LOOOOVE the pics of you on the escalator!!!!!!!
Lovely outfits!
That tower ressembles a bit the Eiffel tower ( btw i see it everyday through my window, i love it when it shines)
