Simple things about Fall

Fall is coming soon in Japan as the night gets colder each day. Although not as cold as Toronto, I'm pretty excited about season changing and colorful leaves. Here are some simple things I love best about Fall.
 
I love living in a comfy sweater like this one.













































Wearing a scarf and learning how to wear it in 25 cool ways.













































Drinking hot chocolates or try this pumpkin spice latte!

































 






and reading a good book.


































What do you love best about Fall? Care to share?

Bird Apartment

Ever wonder what would it be like to peek inside a bird's home? This bird apartment is design by Nendo design firm for Ando Momofuku Center in Nagano.


I love the idea of peeking into the holes to see inside! Fun and exciting!!

Washi tapes

Today I'm loving washi tapes. I picked these up from a stationery near my house. They come in many pretty patterns and colors. Seafoam happens to be one of my favorite colors.

Since I'm renting an apartment, I'm not supposed to pins or make holes on walls. Washi tapes come so handy. Easy to peel off and they are pretty too!
More washi ideas here, here and here.

This week in the shop


I posted a preview of stud earring collections just a few days ago. Here are full photos of them.

I'm into stud earrings these days and recently inspired by diamond shaped stud earrings. I'd love to show you the photos, but I'm in the process of making them. I will share them here once they are ready :)

Thank you Fern for being a model for my jewelry. What a productive week!
