NYFW pinspiration by vivat veritas

I enjoyed the NYFW photos that popped up on my instagram and Pinterest readers last week. Did you follow the NYFW? What was your favorite?
1. Can’t get enough of the all white outfit. Joie Spring 2014.
2. Alexander Wang always offers fresh and new take on the yearly trend. I don’t know how wearable this is, but still like the new way to show off the midriff.
3. I love the jumpsuit and colorful tote combination from the NYFW street style snap.
4. Such a stylish mom-to-be!
5. Colorful and boxy silhouette outfits from J. Crew.
6. Midi length skirts were everywhere in the NYFW street style. This one with jewels all over is amazing, combined with a white tank and colorful clutch. This midi skirt is also my favorite.

Mommy’s Diary: Lunch Date

September 17, 2013 By Chie

mommy's diaryrestaurant One of the best pieces of advice I received as a new parent was to go on a date with my husband at least once a week. It could be something small like taking a walk together without a child or getting ice cream. The advice really helped our relationship as husband and wife. When we are happy together and enjoying each other, I can tell that Kiko is happy and she feels secure about the stability of the family she is in. It is hard to squeeze in once a week date when both of us are working and taking care of Kiko together, but as much the opportunity allows, we try to have the time of ourselves without Kiko. Last week we visited a restaurant called La Ricetta. It is a small Italian restaurant. Their panini turned out to be the best I’ve ever had. The place will be a good memory of Zama city where we have lived for the past three years. We are moving this week, and I can’t wait to settle down in our new place. restaurant inside2 restaurant inside panini la richette outside date flowerChieSignature {find me elsewhere: shop, facebook, etsy, twitter, pinterest}

Fashion’s Night Out in Tokyo

September 16, 2013 By Chie

Have you ever heard of FASHION’S NIGHT OUT (FNO)? I joined it on 7th September for the first time!

FNO is the huge shopping event in Omotesando area, which is produced by Vogue. You can enjoy not only night shopping, but also cocktail service, free-novelty goods, DJ and etc. You just stop by any shop, and enjoy them.

sticker

I got this sticker before starting FNO.

omotesando hills

The main place of FNO; Omotesando Hills. The opening and closing parties were held here.

drink

Cocktail at LANVIN. Champagne, cocktail, beer… various drink welcomed you at many shops.

guy

Yes. This is party. In front of TOKYU PLAZA.

novelties

Eco bags, chocolate candy, dry fruits, lip-balm, rings, badges, tattoo-stickers… everything is free!

It was a great chance to cruise inside high fashion brand shops, which I sometimes hesitate to enter. Some shops provided exclusive items during FNO. Watching fashionistas (real and wannabe) was also a lot of fun!

FNO is held all over the world every year. I’ll definitely go next year!

Fashion’s Night Out(FNO)って知ってますか?Vogueが主催するショッピングイベントです!9月7日のFNOに行ってきました。

表参道を中心に原宿、青山エリアで行われていて、街中お祭り騒ぎ。おしゃれな人々を観察するのも楽しいです!

FNOの間中は、各ショップが様々なイベントを行っています。シャンパンサービス、ノベルティーグッズの配布などなどお金をかけずに楽しめるし、限定商品の販売等も行っています。普段はちょっと入るのに躊躇してしまうお店もこの日なら悠々と入れますw

Vogueが発行されている世界各地でこのイベントは毎年行われているようです。

来年も絶対に行きたいです!

こんな軽やかな羽織りモノ。

気温差が激しい今の季節に
シルクの調湿性は最高の味方です。

We’re officially in that ""three days cold, four days warm"" cycle🌸 A light layer like this is a total lifesaver right now🧥✨

The best part? It’s silk. With these crazy temperature swings, silk’s natural breathability is basically a superpower—keeping you cool when the sun’s out and cozy when the breeze hits.

Stay comfortable, stay cute🤍

ずっと続けている着物リメイクですが、最近はオーガンジーなど他の生地をミックスするのがマイブーム。 「着物ってこんなに自由でいいんだ!」という驚きと可能性を、一着一着に詰め込んでいます。

Paint the world lookbook film 🎥 

While kimono upcycling has been my journey for a long time, I’ve recently been obsessed with blending traditional fabrics with other textures like organza. I’m exploring the idea that kimono can be more fluid and free, bringing that sense of possibility into each design.

In designing these pieces, my focus was on translating the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese textiles into contemporary, wearable styles.

• The Obi wrap skirt, reimagined for the modern wardrobe.
• The playful Meisen rompers, breathing new life into vintage silk.
• The unlined statement jacket, featuring a striking sleeve silhouette.
