November Photo Diary

Like last month, I made a photo diary for this month too. All colors of nature have got changed quickly and it didn't take long till temperature began to fall down up to 3, 4 degrees from over 10°c. As for me, I've cooked everyday which I almost never did in Japan (but used to make sweets often), got used to what people are like (behavior, for example, that's similar to Japanese people in a way), and started to go to school which is insanely tough. All I can say is I've grown up a lot compared to what I used to be in Tokyo. So me, myself has kept changing like the sky, trees and leaves have got changed quickly. Maybe photos this time are more than previous one but hope you enjoy it :) 

Like a Polo player

ZARA TRF sweater

UNIQLO blazer, legging-pants

MANGO bowling handbag

Buffalo boots

Wearing a sweater and a blazer at once was kind of new try for me but I think this came out good :) Sometime I avoid wearing a jacket to show off the whole outfit even when it's pretty cold outside. No way to know how many people on the street ever look at me (my outfit) and like it, but I feel more comfortable when all my clothes are shown off and not being hidden by a thick, long coat.. When it finally reaches 2°c or 3°c in the day time, I'd give up and wear a jacket :P 

If I ever put a helmet on for this outfit, isn't it going to be like a Polo player? Which is why I titled it for this time :) Hope you like it! 

セーターとブレザーをセットで着てみた。着てる服をコートで隠すのがもったいないから冬にブレザーコーデが増えるんだよね。せっかくいい生地のパンツやニットを着てるのに分厚いロングコートで隠したらなんだか損な気がして、そんなんでこの朝もジャケットなし。どれだけの人が私の服見て気に入ってくれるかなんて知る術もないけど、一人でも自分のコーディネートでインスパイアされたら嬉しいよね。さすがに日中も2度や3度になったら諦めるけどね :P 

ところでこのアウトフィットにヘルメット被ったらポロプレーヤーみたいじゃない?最近の映画のモンテカルロでセレーナゴメスがかわいいポロの衣装着てたよね。今日はちょっとマニッシュなコーデ。どう思う?

School day

H&M sweater

GAP scarf

Bershka skinny jeans

ZARA boots

Taking some walk in the morning sun before starting school. I DO love the morning sunshine and fresh air which go away quickly by noon. Breathing in a cold air with my eyes closed switches on my motivation for new day and keeps it lasting till I get tired from study. This might be normal but is so important to me. How is your day going? I'm again excited for this day and ready for insanely difficult German class! Tschüß!!

朝の日差しに包まれて散歩。冷たくて新鮮な空気を吸い込むとモチベーションのスイッチがオンになって夜勉強で嫌んなるまでフル回転でいれるんだよね。これってごく普通のことかもしれないけど、私にとってはすごく大事。朝自分をリセットして新しい一日に備えるとなんだかワクワクするしね。今日もまたアレルギー起こしそうなくらいクレイジーなクラスにやる気全開 :) みんなはどう過ごしてる?

チュース! (Tschüß!はドイツ語のBye バァイみたいな感じ。かわいいでしょ?)

Sunday Sun

H&M knit 

UNIQLO blazer

ZARA suede khaki bag, boots

H&M skinny pants

Last Sunday spent in the sun and it allowed me to walk all the way up to Ruesselsheim. Since I've missed using the suede handbag by ZARA which I got like a few seconds before I had to leave Japan to Germany in Tokyo, this time I made this outfit from it :) How was your weekend? Sorry for asking you late but hope it went amazing and had a nice Tuesday. 

No jacket

All ZARA

Blue knit, TRF ripped skinny jeans, large shopper handbag, boots

Actually it wasn't going to be an outfit post. I had an appointment/meeting with a photographer at 11am and he and I both were waiting for each other at the same station, but missed each other after all. I was at the platform and looking over the whole parking area since 5 minutes before 11am till next 20 minutes and I decided to take some walk until I receive his message to let me know he's there. He parked his car by the parking area and waited for me till 11:20am and didn't check and send message because we agreed on time and where to meet... Later on he finally sent me a message after returning home and we both found out we missed each other. Yes we both were excited to work together in this nice weather. We'd end up meeting up but I guess not right away for sure. It happens. 

I went back home after 12pm (waited more than 1 hour haha) and John and I walked up to the grocery store 20 min away from home and did photoshoot. And here they are. Hope you had a nice weekend!

ほんとはアウトフィットの記事になる予定じゃなかったんだ。だからすごい服テキトー。午前11時にフォトグラファーと打ち合わせがあってお互い同じ駅で待ってたのに行き違いになってパーになったっていうオチ。私は駅に5分前についてその後20分までプラットフォームで駐車場を見渡しながら待ってたんだけど、来なかったから周辺を散歩しながらメールを待つことにしたの。で当の彼は駐車場の前に(スペースが無くて)車停めて11:20pmまで待ってたみたい。お互い会う時間も場所も決めてたからメールのチェックはしないでひたすら私を待ってたらしい。彼が家に着いたときにメールが着て、行き違いになったのがわかったんだよね。お互い楽しみにしてたから残念だったな~。いずれまた会うタイミング見つけて仕事すると思うけど、とりあえず近日中ではないことは確か(苦笑; まこんなこともあるよね。

そんなわけでジョンと買い物に出かけてフォトシューティングをしたの。ステキな週を迎えてね!

Colors in Winter

All ZARA

Yellow knit (new in: also here), stole, large shopper handbag, boots (from last Winter)

イエローニット(new: このニットと一緒に購入)、ストール、レザーハンドバッグ、ブーツ(去年の冬に購入)

IOC jacket/IOCジャケット(from 高島屋)

Thankfully it was warmer than last few days. Temperature was almost 10 degrees and it even warmed me up pretty much after 2 hour-walk. This almost never happens lately :) I was waiting to wear this knit which I bought the blue knit with at the same time to make it completely different mood and look by matching with colors. Yellow and (sort of) purple are antagonistic colors, and I added this green bag for effect color which doesn't bother other 2 colors. Black is always perfect to be with any colors and accessories, thus I had no hesitation to complete today's outfit :) 

Winter clothes tend to be dark and it's a little hard to enjoy layering clothes, but I don't want to stop trying matching colors in cold seasons. So this could be one of my tries :) What would you say?

ありがたいことに久しぶりに日中が10度くらいまでになってくれて、2時間歩いたら体もポカポカんなった。これって滅多にないから、今は1度の差をガンガン感じてる。2度低いだけでも全然違うもんね。今日はこないだ着たブルーのニットと一緒に買ったイエローで違う印象のコーデ。 形が同じでも色の違いで組み合わせの種類って全く変わるから面白いよね。イエローと反対色のパープルを合わせてグリーンのバッグを差し色に入れたら2色の邪魔にならないで治まった :) 黒は何とでもパーフェクトに合うからルックスを落ち着かせるのに迷わず使うね。冬服は暗い色になりがちだし寒いからコーデもあまり楽しめないけど、こういう時期もカラーブロックは諦めたくないから明るめの服を選ぶようにしてる。キャッチーな色同士を合わせればレイヤーしなくても色を楽しめてテンションも上がるよね。

Hellbeige Pullover

H&M Hellbeige Pullover/H&M ヘルベージュ プルオーバー

TOPSHOP biker jacket/TOPSHOP バイカージャケット

ZARA handbag, boots/ザラ ハンドバッグ、ブーツ

Bershka skinny jeans/ベルシュカ スキニージーンズ

How could I express how cold it's been these days? It's like I've been stuck in a fridge the whole day and the coldness reaches even up to my bones... It hurts even when I move my fingers and my lips and cheek wouldn't move. I'd got completely used to Tokyo weather which almost never snows in Winter and you can enjoy any kinds of clothes all the year, so it is just hard for me to be here now. But still looking at warm colors of trees and leaves make me feel better :) 

I do like this wide necked knit that nicely shows off the collarbone, and the sleeve length is perfect for my arms for medium size. My height is 172cm which usually needs large size but these sleeves cover up to back of my hands. How would you wear this?

この連日の寒さは尋常じゃない。丸一日冷蔵庫ん中いるような感覚で10分も歩けば体の芯まで冷えきっちゃう。指をちょっと動かすだけで痛くて、唇も頬も動かない。すっかり東京の気候に慣れきっちゃったからここ数日はひたすら辛い笑 晴れた日でも夜は-3度!ありえな-い!1月や2月はあたしソーセージ握ったまま凍死してるかなw　それでも真っ赤な木とか見るとちょっとあったかくなるね。

このH&Mのワイドネックなニット、もうヘビロテ中。首回りをきれいにスッキリ出してくれて、それでいて暖かい。しかもMサイズなのに袖の長さが完璧。身長172cmだからいつもLサイズじゃないとだめなんだけど、これは手の甲までカバーしてくれて、丈は短めでかわいい。みんなだったら、どうやって着る?
