Odaiba is a large artificial island located in the Tokyo bay area. Getting there already makes you feel like you somehow wound up in the future, because you need to take the Yurikamome metro line, that works without a driver. If possible, make your way to the seats up front – using lightsaber power if … Read more
Rain ? Again ?!! To reassure you, if I am not mistaken, I think it is the last rainy day that I had to “endure” in Japan, which suggests more interesting days of visits coming up. As it is raining, I present you all my addresses and food experience in the neighborhood of Omotesando and … Read more
A little interlude in the middle of our japanese travels. I talked about an obsession regarding New Balance sneakers during my journey. I was seeing them everywhere and on everyone. And my brain of course, receiving these numerous visual stimuli, was completely and utterly influenced: I decided I had to find a pair of grey … Read more
The sun has finally decided to show up! So we seized that moment to visit another of Tokyo’s parks where the Hanami is more than actively taking place: the Ueno Park. The festive mood was present with a crowd of Tokyoites picnicking along the alleys of the park. Many food stands offers dishes that are … Read more

It’s right by a river of the same name: you can take a river boat and admire the blossoms while drifting … Read more
As I have decided that I would share my whole trip to Japan with you, I must begin by a presentation of the place we stayed in when we were in Tokyo! Instead of choosing Shinjuku’s or Shibuya’s heady turmoil, we chose the (relative) tranquility of the Asakusa area. Due to its gorgeous Senso-ji temple, … Read more

I took out my Zoé shoes from my collaboration with Maloles in order to revisit the very Parisian “slim jean & ballerina pumps” style. People consider this look to be boring (While tourists can find it exotic /sooo French /c’est la vie!). And so I wanted to add accessories which are less classic in order … Read more
