Mood Board

Tokyo Inspo.

Tokyo Inspo.

 

 

I love Japan and especially Tokyo - the food, the vibrancy, bright lights, retail on every corner and the cheerful monotony of the universal sales assistants welcome call, "irasshaimase" (phonetically - e-rah-sshy-mah-say).  And how that end 'say' part seems to linger on and on and on...

Japanese style can be a cool mix of urban minimalism to being completely quirky and off the charts in flamboyance.  Whatever it is, I've always been struck with how confident Japanese women are in their styling.  With all that in mind, this Mood Board, is an homage to that easy, sense of styling. 

Like all of my mood-boards, I've selected brands that I know to be high in quality or reliable in shipping.  The boys from Glen Prince are old friends and digging out my GP scarf collection is a highlight of trips to cooler European climes.  I'm amassing a tidy rack of Superga sneakers - they are so easy to wear and comfortable.  Luxe Guides are an essential travel companion and with their 35 destinations, chances are they have a guide for your next mini-break.
