As I packed my bags for Tokyo, I figured I better pack light because I knew that I would be doing a lot of shopping and therefore needed some room to fill up my suitcase. I knew it would be cold, so I grabbed my favorite oversized camel colored chunky sweater (because it goes with everything) basic tops to layer, a bunch of scarves, way to much jewelery (accessories are everything), three pairs of jeans (dark indigo, black, and red) a few dresses, two pairs of boots (good for walking in) and my leopard wedges.

The pictures above are all taken in Tokyo and the inspiration pictures on the side are various random pictures I took through out the eight day trip.

• Picture #1 was inspired by a Chinese lantern in the streets of Yokahama China Town and some beautiful Japaneses fabrics I bought for my mom at a little fabric shop.
• Pic #2 was taken on a cruise we took around the Tokyo harbor and the inspiration are from wine barrels outside the Meiji Shrine.
• #3 picture was taken by a cute little Christmas tree at the Intercontinental hotel and the inspiration came from gold Coach tags and shiny red ornaments.
• The last picture was taken after our Shabu Shabu dinner one evening wearing an outfit that I bought in Shibuya. The side pictures are of crab tofu that was quite delicious and some reddish pink geometric tiles.
