I’m a fashion and beauty blogger beginning on the scene in blogger land. I want it to become my life being passionate about fashion and beauty. I’m a Japanese mixed girl who was born in the U.S. who moved around the world to find her passion and now I’m standing among the stars trying to make that dream happen. I lived in Europe for a few years to study fashion design then moved back to Seattle to accomplish my dream.

Now my plans and dreams of being a fashion designer and an amazing blogger will come to light. My art is blogging about everything fashion, beauty, and photography. It’s an art I enjoy and being new on the blogging scene I have a long ways to go but I’m passionate enough to never give up this dream. I love to learn new languages, travel around the world, create fashion designs, and of course blogging. Sharing my world is important to connect with others who are interested.

“Art is my first language, it gives me the freedom to bring my imagination to life. I see the images I want to create in my mind, often, in the form of dreams even before I begin my process. My background as a fine art painter and designer has given me an idiosyncratic approach to framing and editing my chosen subjects. I like to construct environments that sweep the viewer away to another place or time, to create a break in the mundane, to offer a visual reprieve from everyday life. I believe beauty is everywhere and in everyone. Through my eyes we are all living paintings and life is a work of art.”
