Rose Petal Deer 100 : Days 2 - 5 ♡ (100日ハンドメイド)

More cuteness this time in the form of unicardo the avocado unicorn & some little embroideries...

Lots of love x x x x

Aoyama Cemetery ♡

This place was so beautiful it made me cry, maybe it was the sheer amount of flowers, how quiet it was and the fact it was such a calming peaceful place, every grave was so well looked after and had lovely flowers placed around it, and the sakura was fully bloomed and beginning to fall slightly with the wind. This area of Tokyo between Aoyama and Roppongi is not somewhere I`d been to before, its  full of offices and large expensive buildings and shops, but this little haven between lovely Aoyama and some of Tokyos big art galleries felt like miles away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, I can't wait for the photos from my little film camera to come out! ahh!

& my first trip to try yummy cold pressed juice in Tokyo! yum!

Lots of love! x x x

Cherry Blossom World Part 1 : Yoyogi, Shibuya, Daikanyama & Nakameguro ♡

Any of you who in any way follow me on instagram (much more frequent than here), will know there are few things (apart from deer and shiny glittery kawaii things of course) that I love more than Sakura, Japan in Sakura season really is something else, and never fails to lift my spirits and make me feel all kinds of magic, this year it was particularly needed after I lost my job and Tokyo can be such an overwhelming crazy harsh place at times. However when the flowers are blooming and everyone gets together for `hanami` flower picnics, and the rivers are lit up with blooms in some of my favourite neighbourhoods, its as if for a few short weeks communities and kind nature are drawn out from every corner, every park or public space is full of people happy to mingle and enjoy the sight of these magical pink flowers, its definitely one of the things I`d miss the most if I move. My flowery few weeks will need a few posts, but heres the first 

Instants of the first hanami with some friends & fun in yoyogi park, yoyogi is probably one of the busiest hanami spots but always super fun,

It was kind of overcast and going dark but you get the sense of the blossoms, and drinking sake from my lunch jar as I didn't have a glass haha,

Full blooms over Shibuya...

In one of my absolute favourite places Nakameguro, the blossoms line the river and are just incredible, particularly at night when they are all a lit up with a rosey pink glow..

& my new favourite toy, little film camera `sakura cam`, its been ages since I did any 35mm film so can`t wait to see the results!

Hope your all having lovely weeks! Lots of love! x x x x

Autumnal vibes 秋の気持ち ♡

Finally I am feeling so much better, & coupled with this I finally have learnt to be a little better at technology (& fixed my phone) so will be posting much more frequently. After what feels like literally the longest summer ever, the past week or so has seen a subsequent sudden change in temperature & some much more Autumal vibes, the colours around at the moment are deep lush greens, ochre leaves and blue skies, I have found a new found love for ochre & burnt orange colours & have spent the past few weeks enjoying more normal temperatures, exploring and trying some new tasty japanese vegan autumnal foods! Here`s a little update...

Some of the beautiful greenery near our flat ♡

local cafe`s vegan curry & winter veggie salads ♡

New vegan italian / Mediterranean cafe we went to a week or so ago ♡

All you can eat vegan buffet in one of my absolute favourite Tokyo haunts ( I had to ask multiple times about some of the foods vegan-nature - mind blown by the ingredient / taste combo`s!)

I`m actually thinking of creating a vegan / art guide to Tokyo to sell once I reopen my etsy with all the things I`ve been working on, would any of you be interested?

Finally here`s my current space ♡

ps. finally also got lookbook (you can find me as rosepetaldeer of course!)

hope your all having lovely weeks! lots of love! x x x x
