R.E.D


最近のお気に入り♡
NARSのred lizard.
(未だにfire down belowにすればヨカッタかな〜、とか思うくらい、すごい迷った)
自分にあった「赤」って見つけるの難しいよね。
昔は「赤」ってなんか気恥ずかしくて、「自分には似合わない色」だと思い込んでた。
でも気づいたら私のクローゼットは黒とかグレーとかばかりで、差し色に赤を使ってみたら、途端に赤が好きになった。
今ではペディキュアもいつもほとんど赤、車も赤、ワインも赤、あ、それは関係ないね。
見渡せば、いつの間にかredが周りにいっぱい♡
今では好きなカラーの一つになったよ。
ちなみにもう一つ一緒に買ったのはNARSのBelle du jour.
これもオススメ!!

One of my latest favorites♡
NARS red lizard.
(I really debated between fire down below, gypsy and shanghai express...)
It's really difficult to find your own r.e.d.
I used to think "red really isn't my color" 
until I realized I have a closet full of black, white and grey and red makes a nice accent.
So I tried and grew to love red.  Now I have a red mini, red pedicure, red bag and red wine...lol
Red is one of my favorite color now!
Another lipstick I bought with red lizard is Belle du jour.
This one I think is a must have!!

Getty - November












今年の夏Herb Ritz展を観に行った以来のGettyにまた行って来たよ。
相変わらずオープンエアと建築の美しいGettyできれいな紅葉がみれた。
サンクスギビングも終わって、11月も、もうすぐ終わっちゃうね。
ラストスパートがんばろう!

I went to the Getty center a few weeks ago.
This was my second time this year since I went to see Herb Ritz exhibit.
Leaves changing color and it's nice to find piece of Autumn especially when you live in LA.
Now that thanksgiving is gone, December is right around the corner. 
Let's finish 2012 with a bang!

(500) Days of thanks :)




You probably know if you've seen the movie, right?
It's the park from "(500) Days of Summer."
Here is one of my favorite quote from the movie...

Most days of the year are unremarkable. 
They begin, and they end, with no lasting memories made in between. 
Most days have no impact on the course of a life. May 23rd was a Wednesday. 


Today is thanksgiving!
I've been kind of impatient and unsettling now the new year is just around the corner.
Missing families and friends. Looking back at 2012 and starts to analyze what I could've done better etc
Yea. Typical me. 
But today, I want to spend my day being thankful :)
What are you thankful this year?
Wishing you a wonderful thanksgiving day :)

映画観た人なら、わかるかな?
そう、この前「(500)日のサマー」に出て来た、あの公園に行って来たよ。
「(500)日のサマー」の中でナレーターが言う私の大好きなquoteのひとつ.

Most days of the year are unremarkable. 
They begin, and they end, with no lasting memories made in between. 
Most days have no impact on the course of a life. May 23rd was a Wednesday. 

今日アメリカはサンクスギビング。
年末が近くなって焦ったり、寂しく感じたり、もがいたりするときもあるけど
感謝することも忘れずに今日1日を過ごしたいと思います。
みなさんは何に感謝していますか?
Wishing you a wonderful thanksgiving day :)

K U B R I C K @ LACMA










先週末、今lacmaで行われてるStanley Kubrick展に行って来たよ。
台本にびっしりと走り書きされたメモから愛用品や実際に撮影に使われた衣装、小道具などなど、盛りだくさん。
キューブリックファンでも、そうでない人も見る価値あり!
LAに居て、まだ行っていない人は、ぜひ!

I went to Stanley Kubrick exhibit at LACMA last weekend.
You can see pages and pages of scripts with his hand written notes,
actual props and wardrobes used in his films and so much more...!
Whether you're a fan or not, you should definitely go see it.

Kotora turned 5


ちょっと前になるんだけど、うちのコトラが5歳になったよー。
相変わらず、やんちゃで末っ子気質だけど、ママにとってはかわいいかわいいlittle baby.
それにしても、トラが私のもとへやって来てからもう5年も経ったなんて信じられない。
本当にあっという間。これからも健康で、ママのこと笑わせたり、癒したりし続けてね。
Love you :)

It was a few weeks back but my lovely Kotora turned 5!
He is still a crazy little monster but i love love love this little boy. (maybe not so little anymore :P )
I can't believe it's already been 5 years....! I still feels like yesterday when I picked him up at LAX. 
He was in a little crate, weeping from the inside. A lot has happened since then but Tora's craziness and  funny character certainly made me into a mellower person. 

Please stay healthy and make me smile and be there for me :) I love you :)

california adventure





i forgot to post these but I had a chance to go to Disney California Adventure at the end of October.
Look at these cute princesses getting ready to go somewhere magical★
Love #Disneyland #CaliforniaAdventure #magical :)

ポストするタイミングを逃した写真たち。
10月の後半にカリフォルニアアドベンチャーに行ったよ。
オシャレしてマジカルな場所へ行くプリンセスたち♡かわいい。




fall / winter

Presidential campaignも、11月だというのに30℃を越える狂った天気も、無事落ちついて、Winter timeで時間が変わったことでLAもやっと秋冬らしくなってきました。
夜になるのが早くなったことで、みんな飲みだす時間が早くなった?! 笑
スタバはもうすでにクリスマスモード。年末が近いね〜。

Presidential campaign and crazy 90°F weather in L.A.
 has finally settled down and "winter time" has literally arrived.
Is it just me? ever since the time change, everybody started to drink early now!? :P

Starbucks has changed to it's Christmas decoration.
Can you imagine it's already 18th of November...?
Time flies...!!!

SKYFALL


I have so many stories I want to post
but have so little time.

Anyways I went to see "Skyfall" yesterday.
Daniel Craig was AWESOME...!!!
Javier Bardem was the BEST...!!!
It was satisfying to say the least♡

本当はいっぱいアップしたいんだけど、
時間がないよ〜(・ε・)ムー

ところで昨日は"Skyfall"を観に行って来ました。
ダニエル•クレッグはカッコよすぎ!><
ハヴィエさんは最高だった!
とってもentertainingで満足でした♡
まだ観てない人は、ぜひ♥

pumpkin carving

そうそう。今年はpumpkin carvingもしたよ。

I forgot to post these. This year bunch of friends got together and did pumpkin carving again...!
Can you guess which one is mine...?


正解はコチラ↓

Drum roll please!
The answer is ....

 "WICKED!"

実はカボチャがとても厚いやつを選んでしまって、
みんなが終わっても全然完成しなくてビリだったんだょ。(・ε・)ムー
さー、次はThanks givingだ!
みんなはハロウィンenjoyした?

Actually I chose very thick pumpkin and it took me forever to finish.
 I had to work for another an hour after everyone is done with theirs
but it turned out pretty good. Don't you think?
So what's next? Thanks giving!
Hope you all enjoyed your Halloween :)



holiday cup...!

風邪がやっと完治してきたかな。
今日スタバに行ったら、すでにホリデー柄のカップに!早っ!

My cold has finally gotten better now and I had my first cup of coffee from Starbucks today.
And the starbucks cups are already into holiday mode now...! Don't you think it's a little too early?

Yes, that's right. Dogs dressed up too. I know they hate it but I love it :)
 Bumble bee :)

 お馴染みのhot dog :P
Momo....yes, she is upset.
ちょっぴりやさぐれた、もんたん。
