The Best Vintage Shopping in Japan

Shopping - Travel

The second of my Japan Shopping blog posts has arrived! You can read the first one here (Tips for Shopping in Japan). I thought it would be easiest to organize the shops into districts/neighborhoods, since that’s probably how you will plan you trip. Most of the stores below are vintage…

Tips for Shopping in Japan

Shopping - Travel

Ohiogazimas, I am starting this blog post on a bullet train speeding from Tokyo to Kyoto. We just finished the first leg of our Japan trip (Tokyo) and before we hit the next cities, I wanted to get some details out of my head while they are still fresh. The…

What do you think about ponchos? Yay or nay?

One of my favorite ways to create a new outfit combo is to force myself to pair pieces that I haven’t worn in ages. This poncho is an old favorite but not a piece I regularly reach for. And these boots used to be in heavy rotation years ago, but have lately been relegated to the back of the closet.

This is also a good way to tell if I’m ready to donate/sell something! If I pull it out from the archives, style it into an outfit, but end up not loving how I feel when I wear it — then I know it’s time to pass it along to its next home.

Fortunately that wasn’t the case with this killer poncho. It’s staying in my collection until further notice 😂 #poncho #ponchostyle #ponchos #tigerstripes #leatherpants #suedeboots #goorinbros #colonelpierce #vintagepants #vintageblogger #slowfashionblogger #sustainableblogger #nunoobags #greenpants #greenleather

Apparently TikTok teens says middle parts are IN and I feel validated 💁‍♀️

Are you team side part or team middle part??

Did you know that @timberland has been making major ~strides~ in their sustainability initiatives? Footwear pun intended! #ad

Here are just a few of the ways @timberland is working towards a greener product line and planet:
• responsibly sourced and recycled leather
• insulation made from recycled plastic bottles
• eco-conscious waterproofing technology
• organic cotton and recycled nylon
• plus: working with worldwide partners to plant trees (10 million so far!)

I'm wearing the Solar Wave Low Fabric Hiker Sneakers powered by their new GreenStride™️ comfort technology. The GreenStride™️ comfort soles are made with a natural and high-rebound foam — made from sugar cane and responsibly sourced natural rubber from trees. These sneaks are somehow both incredibly light and comfy, yet sturdy and supportive — witchcraft? Maybe.. I'd argue it's the eco-innovative comfort soles tho 👟👟👟 #Timberland #GreenStride #NatureNeedsHeroes

Swipe 👉 for slider porn... I truly cannot believe we are in the final stretch of this little home reno!! If you’ve been following along on stories you know that this project has draggggged on for (literally!) twice as long as we anticipated. And we’ve hit hiccup after hiccup along the way. BUT it really feels like we are finally getting to the end of the road 😭.

It’s easy to get wrapped up in our own little bubble of frustrations, but all in all, we are so fucking thankful that we were able to do this project. It will change ~everything~ for the functionality of our home.

If you’re into learning the nitty gritty details, there will be a very in-depth before/after on the blog when it’s finished! Get your fix now by checking my “house renovation” highlight 🙌

Swipe 👉 for: Wide leg carpenter jeans, 5 ways! I am very into the utility jean/carpenter pant trend — give me all the hammer loops please! I’ve always loved the workwear aesthetic, so I’m stoked it’s en vogue right now.

Which outfit is YOUR fave? Don’t sleep on the last pic, I’m bringing you some summer inspo! Lawd knows we all need it right now 🥶

👖The jeans are the wide leg hemp utility jeans from @backbeat.co.

A lot can change in one week ❄️. I had this whole thing written about our Tahoe stay last weekend but I can’t take my mind of what’s happening in Texas right now.

A failure of leadership. An environmental disaster. A humanitarian crisis. And as usual, these things disproportionately affect BIPOC folks, low-income communities, and other marginalized groups.

If you want to learn about what happened and why the system failed, yesterday’s episode of @nytimes The Daily, called The Blackout in Texas, might help! I’m sharing resources and ways to support from afar, on my stories. Texas, we love you 💔

Sometimes I put my dresses on and show them around my bedroom, just so they don’t forget about me 🥺

I scored this stunner from the @marahoffman sale a few weeks ago and I can’t wait to wear her in public one day. Mara Hoffman was one of the first ~luxe fashion brands~ that I learned was a leader in sustainable fashion practices. And they recently began carrying many of their styles in up to 3X, I hope more brands follow suit! Side note: I also once sat behind Ms Hoffman herself at an event in NYC and will never not be star struck over it 🤩

The question is: should I hem this beauty into a midi or keep it as a maxi?? 🧵🪡🧶 #marahoffman #sustainablefashion #sustainablebrand #sustainablestyle #sustainablefashionblogger #sustainableblogger #slowfashionblogger #hempfabric #sustainablefabrics

Jeans and a white tee are all you need when you’ve got the perfect white tee and jeans 🤩

Softest boxy fit tee from @lebonshoppe and best reworked vintage Levi’s from @_the_future_past_ via @parkertheshop (small, women-owned, local California businesses 🙌).

Sending lots of love to my friends in Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, West Virginia... stay safe, stay warm! We love you 💔 #shopsmall #shoplocal #smallbizblogger #slowfashionblogger #sustainableblogger #slowfashionstyle #sustainableclothing #vintagelevis

Do you have any vintage or antique treasures that were passed down to you from family?

This jacket belongs to my best friend’s dad, he wore it when he was a teenager! We found it over the weekend in the closet of the cabin we stayed in. If I’m doing my math right, it’s probably from the early 1970s (based on the exaggerated collar, that feels accurate). It’s in incredible condition, and it’s... reversible!

Do I sound like an old if I say “they just don’t make things like they used to” 😂😭😉 #visittahoe #laketahoe #westshore #westshoretahoe #laketahoelife #winteroutfit #snowoutfit #vintagejacket #vintagecoat #reversible #blundstone #blundstone500 #boyishjeans

Swipe for throwbacks! The first one was yesterday, the last one was our wedding (May 27th, 2016). 💌 Hope you’re not mushed out after yesterday... rather than tell you a lovey dovey story, I thought I’d tell you about something that has made me a better partner: learning how to fight constructively.

Fights/arguments are inevitable (especially if you’re in the middle of your first home renovation 🥴) but they don’t have to become blow outs, every time. One thing that has helped us reframe the way we argue is to remember (and remind each other): “It’s not me versus you, it’s us against the problem.” Oftentimes we’ll stop mid argument and say it outbound to one another. This doesn’t immediately extinguish every fight, but it helps us remember that we’re on the same team.

Any words of wisdom about relationships that have stayed with you over the years? I’d love to hear them! ❤️

YEEHAW it’s Friday 🥳 are you on the cow print trend train yet?

I desperately wanted some cool cow print pants but this frugal gal was apprehensive to pull the purchase trigger. So I made these instead! Probably my easiest DIY everrrrr since you can just paint another blotch if you mess up 🤷‍♀️. I love me a foolproof DIY! I used brown acrylic paint, and these are white jeans.

Would you wear these bovine bad boys? 🐮🐄🥛 #cowprint #moo #moood #snakeprint #snakeboots #cowboyhat #goorinbros #pradamarfa #marfa #marfatexas #diyjeans #paintedjeans #whitejeans #woolhat

Come back to Japan 🇯🇵 with me. This was the last big trip I went on in the ~before times~ and it feels like 100 years ago, but also just like yesterday. Time. Is. Weird.

I fell in love (HARD CORE) with Japan and I promise I will be back again, one day, sigh. SWIPE to the end for my IRL Disney princess moment 🦌

The trip was a total of 9 days, bopping around Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka with my mom. Check my Japan highlight for wayyyyy more!

If money were no object, and time wasn’t real (and we weren’t in a pandemic 🥴!!!) where in the world would you go right now? ✈️

Sometimes I wonder what NYC Abby would think of California Abby’s style... for context: I spent a decade living in Brooklyn and 2 years ago I moved here, to the Bay Area, where I grew up.

Would NYC Abby yawn at my color palettes, would she roll her eyes are my practical shoes? Would she scoff at my inability to layer anymore and shake her head at our year round 70-degree weather?

Do you ever take note of how your style has changed over the years, as you’ve moved (literally or figuratively) through different phases of your life? If you’ve been here since the NYC days (thank you!) have you even noticed a difference in my style? It’s been gradual, but it’s definitely changed!

Do you have any Valentine's Day traditions? ❤️ In my relationship, Valentine's Day has always been a "stay home 'n indulge" holiday, and this year is no different! Except that we've got a mountain of @milkbarstore goodies to share. [#ad]

Milk Bar holds a special place in my heart — we lived only a few blocks away from the Williamsburg location in Brooklyn — and used to frequently stop by the shop for desserts, after dinner in the neighborhood. Fun fact: Momofuku Noodle Bar was the location of one of our first dates (the restaurant where @christinatosi started Milk Bar!) To say we're @milkbarstore superfans would be an understatement 😂.

Head over to @milkbarstore's website to stock up on these delicious red velvet meets cheesecake treats (delivered right to your door for V-Day!) I am SO glad they offer shipping and delivery. Now I can still get my @milkbarstore fix, even though we don't live in Brooklyn anymore. 🍪🥛🤤 Drop me a comment: I'd love to hear how you'll be celebrating Valentine's Day!

Ain’t nothing like wearing your favorite stateme

Ain’t nothing like wearing your favorite statement jacket to round out a crazy week! A killer leather jacket (statement or classic) is a wardrobe staple in my opinion — it instantly makes *any* outfit look edgy and badass. And throw on some oversized shades to complete your “who is she??” moment 😎

I found this chunky checkered vintage beauty on @poshmark last year. I don’t wear it nearly as often as I should. Must remedy this ASAP!

And yes, I’m wearing my @backbeat.co corduroy cargo pants again. Can’t stop won’t stop (use abby15 for 15% off @backbeat.co ❤️) Happy Friday my friends! #leatherjacket #checkered #checkerboard #checkeredpants #corduroy #corduroypants #pradashoes #chunkyshoes #slowfashion #slowfashionblogger #sustainablefashion #sustainableclothing #sustainablefashionblogger

Today is LAUNCH DAY!! I’m not crying, you’re crying. Check your email, there’s a sweet treat from moi! 🥳🎉🙌

If you’re like, “wait what?” 👉 I am launching two ~How to Instagram~ e-courses today — I’ve been working on them since late last year. Head to my story and highlights for more info! Thank you for all your support on this new endeavor! 🥺 #launchday #howtoinstagram #instagramtips #instagramtricks #instagramtipsandtricks #pinkhat #backbeatco #backbeatfam

This week is a BIG week for me: I’m launching my first set of e-courses on Thursday!!!

Here's the backstory:
Last year, I started offering 1:1 consulting to help small businesses and other Influencers step up their social media game. And it was awesome. I loved connecting with y'all and using my experience to help solve your pain points. Buuut this system wasn't very scaleable — there's only one of me, and we only have so many hours in the day — I wanted (read: needed) my knowledge — my experience, my learnings, my mistakes! — to help MORE people. And so, my e-courses were born.

Right now I'm offering two "How to Instagram" courses: one for everyone (Brands, Influencers and individuals) and one specifically for other Influencers 👉 more details on stories. Tap the link in my bio to add your email to the list — you'll be the first to get access to the courses on Thursday when they launch!

Got questions? Drop them below, or shoot me a message. I am SO dang excited to share ~everything I have learned~ with you. 🤗 #instagramtips #instagramstrategies #instagramtipsforbusiness #instagramtipsandtricks #weareallbirds #allbirds #pufferjacket #puffercoat #reformation #halfmoonbay #californiabeaches

Taking some time today to appreciate ~the little things~. For example, it took Noodle a few weeks but she finally got used to her new bed and she looooves it now. I designed it with those waves hoping she would rest her noggin between them and she does!! If you missed the bed making process: We made it a few weeks ago out of old shelves we found in a closet. You can still see the floral print shelf liner 🥺.

What’s going on in your life lately that could use a ~little things~ appreciation? Here’s a few more from me:

• It rained all week, which is great news for California 🌦
• I just started a new book 📚
• I successfully swapped out my DIY piercings to new earrings 🤞
• I’m drinking a huge hot cup of coffee this very moment — with steamed oat milk of course 😌

Happy Sunday my friends ❤️ #parachute #parachuterobe #cloudrobe #articlecouch #velvetcouch #shellpillow #adaptations #checkerboard #checkered #pinkcouch #pinkvelvetcouch #abbyontheinternethome #pinkbathrobe #slowfashion #slowfashionblogger #livingroomdecor #livingroominspo #catbed #loungewearchic
