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…

Starting out this new week with an old faithful: vintage tee + vintage denim. There’s just something so effortless, classic, and COOL about this combo. It’s the perfect go-to when you’ve got outfit-block (you know, like writer’s block but for getting dressed!) ☀️#goingnowherebutfuckitimgettingdressed #sk8hi #vansclassic #classicvans #checkeredvans #vintagedenim #vintagelevis #vintagetee #graphic tee

When it’s the height of summer and I look back at photos of winter outfits... I make this face 🥴 and actually start sweating. Current mood: ISO a kiddie pool, some watermelon, and a large iced coffee 💦 HBU?

Morning snaps from my favorite room in the house. The turquoise tile is original from the 40s, the black botanical wallpaper is from @savethedateprojects — it took me 6 months to find the perfect print! 🌟 Swipe for my best bathroom hack: store your mouthwash in a glass decanter. No more ugly plastic bottle cluttering your countertops! (⚠️ Don’t use an antique crystal decanter, they can contain lead) #bathroomrenovation #bathroomreno #retrobathroom @vintagebathroomlove #botanicalwallpaper #blackwallpaper #palmprintwallpaper #vintagebathroom #parachutehome #publicgoods #turquoisebathroom #turquoisetile #vintagehomedecor

It’s another 🎶 Friday 🎵. I have a work ritual with some of the gals on my team where we have a virtual coffee chat every Friday morning. It’s one of the things I look forward to *the most* every week. Damn I miss having conversations with real faces, in real life. What’s keeping you sane lately? #goingnowherebutfuckitimgettingdressed #outerknown #outerknownwomens #boilersuit #jumpsuit #utilityjumpsuit #checkeredvans #sk8hi #checkerboardvans

What physical features or personality traits did y

What physical features or personality traits did you inherit from your parents? 👃👄👂Sometimes when I look at my photos, I see my parents’ features in my own face SO vividly. If you know me and my folks personally, you know that I am such an obvious blend of my mom and dad. From my mom, I got my height (errr lack of height) and ambition, from my dad, I got my strong nose and love of art/design. I used to hate some of my inherited physical “imperfections”, but now when I look at them, I just think about my parents and how hard they worked to give me everything they never had. Funny how a little perspective can change things. Tell me in the comments what you’ve inherited from your parents👇 #bleachdye #diytiedye #tiedye #tiedyetrend

Do you ever wear shorts? I’m very stoked that long-hem shorts are coming back into the trend curve. Bermuda shorts, 90s jorts, 80s boxy suit shorts, sign me up! This sweet matching set is from @shopeyetoeye (#smallbiz #sustainablefashion #womenownedbiz 👏👏👏) — I love everything about their minimalist, timeless, mix ‘n match philosophy. Their silhouettes are chic and effortless, their color schemes are rich and unique. @shopeyetoeye you made a big fan outta this gal!

A rare sighting of my Mr Mr cuz it’s his big bad birthday today! He’s the man behind the scenes over here: The best bread baker, pizza maker, cat papa, plant whisperer, project partner, and sweetest man I’ve ever known. He also takes 90% of my blog photos and only complains 50% of the time. I’m no mathematician, but I’ll take those odds every dang day with him. Happy birthday my love!

Today’s #mondaystylingtip is simple, but effective. Wear your beliefs on your clothes and if anyone stares or gives you shit, simply 👋 wave and mouth “fuck you” under your mask. Oh and wear a mask 🙂🙃🙂🙃 #wearamask #backbeatco #sustainablefashion #sustainableblogger #slowfashion #slowfashionstyle

May we all celebrate the 🇺🇸 4th today with a little bit more knowledge, more context, and more scrutiny of this nation’s history than before. May we remember that our ancestors stole this land from native people, and recognize that today Native American communities are being decimated by COVID. May we remember that we are a country of immigrants yet currently have children locked in cages in ICE detention centers. May we remember that the wealth of this nation was built on the backs of enslaved Black folks, who today are *still* not treated as equal humans. We have a lot of work to do. Let me know if you’re with me for the long haul ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

We’re thankful to be heading out of town for the long weekend. Nothing too fancy pants, just down to my family’s ranch near the Pinnacles. I hope you’re able to have some relaxing nature time this holiday weekend — but please remember to wear a mask and social distance as much as possible. Stay safe y’all 💓 #hawaiianshirt #vintageblouse #buyvintage #linenpants #panamahat #strawhat #karenwalker

Keys, phone, wallet, MASK. Wearing a face mask is a sign of respect, of empathy, of *~science~*. Head to the blog for a round up of the best of the best mask sellers — most of whom use scrap or deadstock fabric, and are engaging in some kind of buy one/give one or charitable donation program. (link in bio). Styling tip: use your mask as a way to add another pattern into your outfit! Share your mask tips ‘n tricks below, let’s normalize wearing a mask and keeping our community safe👇 #facemaskselfie #wearyourmask #wearyadangmasks #cottonmask #reusablemask #washablemask #marimekkoxuniqlo #marimekko

I thrifted these pants for $5, spent $40 on tailoring, and now I have a custom pair of pants for $45. This is the kinda math I can get behind! 📊 Math I *can’t* get behind: My city has 24 library branches with a total budget of $36 million. My city has 1 police station with a budget of $450 million. FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS. #defundthepolice means reallocating government funds from the police and investing in our communities instead: public education, mental health services, community centers, hospitals, community gardens, parks, public arts programs, and youth services #fundcommunitiesnotcops #payteachers #fundpubliceducation #fundlibraries #defundthecops

Y'all know I'm a firm believer that small steps can lead to impactful change in many areas of life. #ad You don't have to completely overhaul your life to live more sustainably and help our environment. I’m working with @spring_and_vine to swap my bottle shampoo for bar shampoo. Their shampoo bars are paraben/sulfate free, cruelty free, and vegan. And each bar uses 95% less plastic and 90% less water than traditional shampoo. Head to my blog (link in bio) for my experience using their bar shampoo, plus 8 MORE 🌱 eco-friendly 🌿 everyday product swaps! #springandvine Available exclusively @target #ecofriendlyliving #ecohouse #sustainableblogger #sustainablelifestyle #barshampoo #barsoap #retrobathroom

The other day @rachel.cargle made a post in which she talked about *proactive* self-care — how she takes care of her future self as a way to proactively reduce potential future stress. It may seem obvious, but sometimes the most genius ideas are the simple ones we overlook. Do you practice proactive self-care? I’d love if you shared your tactics in the comments, lawd knows we could all use more self-care tips these days.

Some of my proactive self-care strategies: • I pack a snack bar in my purse if I’m out and about doing something that could be stressful (doc appt, interview, big meeting, etc). For me, there’s nothing worse than hunger pangs on top of external stressors.
• I put my credit card payments on autopay. Even if you can’t pay the whole balance every month, setting your payments up ahead of time ensures you’ll never get a future accidental penalty fee.
• I write set reminders for *everything* in my phone. I can’t trust my brain to remember that thing that popped into my head 5 minutes before I fell asleep.
