I can’t go about talking about Tokyo without highlighting Japanese street style. I mentioned here and here that fashion street style in Tokyo is just fascinating and inspiring.

Tokyo, Japan- megacity, neon-lights jungle, a city of balanced contradictions and home to the kindest people in the world. My love affair with Tokyo continuously strengthened with my recent trip.

I’m not a frequent flyer but I did travel quite a bit this year and have a pretty much solid routine when it comes to flying and what I pack inside my carry-on bag. Last week, I endured a dreadful 14-hour flight to Toronto and a 6-hour layover in Heathrow so before I left, I made [...]
