these girls have a very unique style. to describe their style would be to say a cowboy and a punk clashed to create such a casually cool ensemble. 

we ventured to the land of the four seasons. being that jesse knows tons of cool settings, she lead us on our adventure. the first few photos were taken in an empty canal. from there we traveled to mountain park with lots of trails, great for hikes. although i didn't dress appropriately, i just removed my shoes to hike barefoot. our last stop was downtown. tehachapi's downtown is so quaint, and i really had a great time with these girls and this shoot. 

enjoy.

HYPE

shirt dress || hype (asos) 

shoes || converse 

we took a family trip to okinawa. we traveled east to hamahiga island where we stayed at 413 hotel&cafe. it was designed by miki's dad. it's a small hotel sitting right on the beach. with only 6 rooms, it was a lovely stay with warm-hearted staff. 

it was so hot that wearing a bathing suit is ideal, but didn't feel entirely comfortable walking around in only a swimsuit, so i packed along this piece i purchased from asos. a perfect piece for tropical weather.

i love okinawa!

Friends and a Birthday Celebration

dress || riverisland 

shoes || melissa 

Friends (Maco, Nana, Logan, Yoko, Taku, Yumi, Akiko, and Fuchan!) Thanks for coming out last night and wishing me a happy birthday! You're all so lovely. I have my own family here in Japan.

After the party, Mikio came to pick me up at the station and walked home together. (The pictures were photographed with our iPhone, so excuse the quality.)
