It feels like these selfie experiences are becoming increasingly a part of my social life. My friend recently invited me to explore the Museum of What's Wings Tour. Although it didn't look as pretty as MODS or Flutter from its website's photos, I still decided to go since it was only $16 and the parking structure is free for the first hour. When I entered, I was disappointed to see that it was literally made up of mostly wings, the type that were popular and innovative a few years ago in boba shops and gentrified hipster neighborhoods. That being said, you can still get some cute photos if you know how to crop or if bright, colorful walls are your thing. I was just hoping for something a little less DIY looking. If you're in Orange County searching for free places to do a wings photo, I'm pretty sure Capputeano Cha and Zero Degrees have them.

Since this last trip to Japan marked my third time being in Tokyo, I decided to take a day trip out to Kamakura to see all of the temples and shrines. It's a beautiful town that'll make you feel like you're in an anime. My brother and I basically didn't do any research about where to go, so we stopped by the tourist office by the station, picked up a map, and just did a full loop around the town. Highlights included a money washing shrine (Zeniarai Benten Shrine), wild koi swimming around the streams, and picturesque views everywhere you stopped. Seriously, such a dreamy town for people who like traditional Japanese culture.

On the second day in Tokyo, I walked from Sumida to Taito. It's surprisingly walkable! I started the day at Tokyo Skytree before heading over to Taito to check out Asakusa and the Christmas fair going on at the time. The Asakusa area is touristy, but definitely worth going to. It's one of the few areas in Tokyo that feels more traditional like Kyoto. Asakusa is also nice because there's lots of school children running around and couples in matching kimonos/yukatas. It's just a pleasant area with next to no car traffic. Additionally, there's a cool af owl cafe called Jungle Cafe that also has flamingos, a monkey, a fennec fox, and more. The owls were so friendly and the girls working at this cafe were super helpful. My favorite part was that unlike other cafes, you paid once and could stay for as long as you wanted.

Summer is my least favorite season. It's too hot to layer. It's too hot to go hiking. It's too hot to do anything other than shop and hang out in museums. And it's not like spending time outdoors is fun because I get sun burnt easily, which leads me to why I've never gone to Coachella. I live in fear of spending three days outdoors, burning the whole time while trying to enjoy a few bands. If I were to go to Coachella though, I'd probably just live in my black boots and camisoles.

Half of the time when I get dressed, I want to be lazy and just throw on a camisole with jeans. The other half when I put effort into how I look, I go for the "girl who hangs out with bands" look. Why? Because I can't be the girl in the band, considering my music talent is next to none. It's almost non-existent. Just ask my piano or my guitar teacher.
For this look, I paired my Peter Pan collared, plaid dress with all leather accessories so that the look didn't run too school girl. I also went for heeled pants to make my legs look longer and a berry lip, courtesy of Chanel's Cassis, to pull everything together.

It's been years since I've worn anything pink, especially pastel pink. Once I saw this Maje jacket on sale though, I just had to get it. For one thing, it ties in with my obsession with bomber jackets. Second of all, I love just about anything Maje makes. It's their girly and luxurious accents that really set their clothes apart.
