Japanese Blotting Papers by Tatcha

Beauty | 24 April 2012

by

With warm weather beginning to hit LuLu*s home base, I’ve found that one of the easiest and most elegant ways to keep a fresh face is with a simple blotting paper.
 
Made from 100% Abaca leaf and real gold flake, I have never found a blotting paper that is more decadent, and the lack of powder and fragrance is definitely refreshing. These little beauties by Tatcha won’t take off your make-up, and a pack will fit in even your smallest purse!

Enchanting Wisteria Tunnel of Kawachi Fuji Gardens, Japan

General | 13 April 2012

No, these aren’t paintings you’re looking at! These are the totally unreal photos taken of the Wisteria Tunnel at Kawachi Fuji Gardens in Kitakyushu, Japan. From April to May, this beautiful tunnel explodes with magnificent color and look as if it was taken from some fairytale fantasy. 
Imagine yourself walking through this lush wonderland of beautiful flowers . . . absolutely breathtaking.
I really need to book a trip to Japan, ASAP! Who’s coming with me?!

Site to See: Cookie Boy!

General | 28 February 2012

Images of the elusive Cookie Boy have been trickling into the Western hemisphere, but his confectionary magic remains largely a mystery, due to the fact the entire site is in Japanese. What we CAN gather is that the intricately iced art of this man/boy/team? stirs something in all of us. From individual cutouts to highly involved installations, it’s easy to obsess over this site, and I DEFINITELY recommend perusing his blog!

New Year Hot Spot Style: Ginza

Fashion | 28 December 2009

by

Not sure about the rest of you fashionistas out there, but right after, “What did you get for Christmas?” the question I’m getting is, “What are you doing for New Years?”.

With only four days left, I still have no idea what I will be doing … but I know what I would like to do! Barring money, travel, and time, here is the first of four awesome New Year’s Eve destinations I would love to visit (and the outfits I would love to wear!)

Ginza is an upscale part of Tokyo with luxurious shopping and high fashion everywhere. The flagship stores of Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci are always lit up, creating one of the most beautiful city nights I have ever seen. Having been to both, I dare say Ginza is brighter, even, than Times Square.

Class would be the name of my game — including a midnight toast at the Icebar Tokyo, a bar made entirely of, you guessed it, ice. Everything from walls, the bar, tables, and even glasses are made of ice. A jacket is provided in the Icebar Tokyo, but I would walk in wearing the Little Time Dress and Nekhbey Necklace in Gold [sold out!]. Simple, sophisticated, stylish … kind of like Ginza itself.

But let’s not be square bears — a splash of color is needed!  Jeffrey Campbell Pacific Teal Leather Double Ruffle Heels it is!

 

Check back tomorrow for my next New Year’s hotspot!

Halloween Look 3: Gorgeous Geisha

Beauty | 28 October 2009

by

Okay, okay … just one more Halloween look idea before the festivities of the weekend.

Today’s video once again comes from the talented Michelle Phan (because she’s just awesome). This time we have a very unique and artistic geisha look.

I love how inventive this look is. I’ve never even thought about putting pink eyeshadow on the outer corner of the eye. The effect is gorgeous! Definitely a must see.

Did you see these?
