Both of the above from tokyo camera style

Seems like snapshots of strangers on the street is branching into fields other than fashion.... although some say that cameras have became accessories themselves. Known for the extravagant styles, a Tokyo photographer started this blog photographing some of the cool cameras on the street. He doesn't even mind sharing the photos as well so here we are....pass it on!!!

Craving.....

Honey Toast Selection from a chain Karaoke, Pasela, in Japan

Honey Toast from local resturant in Katashina, Gunma

One of the things that I coudn't enough of when i was in Japan, HONEY TOAST!!!!!! It might seem simple...but it's the most delicious thing in my culinary world! The Japanese are crazy about it and they serve it every where, including a chain Karaoke box called Pasela. They have a web page, Honey Toast Museum, devoted to Honey Toast. Although the honey toast is just a big loaf of white bread with honey and other toppings such as ice-cream, chocolate fugdge etc drizzled on top. But it is the way that they prepare it that makes it so delicious. I want to try making it at home...but my oven can't handle it....i ended up with just toast with honey...whereas with Honey Toast, it's a balance between the softness inside and crunchy outside of the bread. Ohhh just looking at it makes my mouth water!!!!!!

Places to go to

All of the above from Mykonos Grace

I was just talking to someone today about travelling...when i mentioned that if there's one place i can visit in Europe, it will be Greece. He started laughing and asking why is it cause he thinks it's overrated. It got me wondering, what is it about Greece that I like.... then i saw this hotel..... all i could say was ..... WOW...... Then i know it must be the blue and white that i really wanted to see in Greece.

Out of the Ordinary

Porcelain Milk Jug

Glass 'Water' Bottle

Porcelain Canisters

All of the Above from the Daily Aesthetics Collection by Abitare

I love it when designers put a twist on ordinary objects and make them original! There are lots of cool stuff from Abitare...Again, i would love to have them all if i have a bigger place!

We all need one


Every time it rains, i get poked by the numerous umbrellas on the street. People tend not to care if they stab you with their umbrellas as long as they are dry.... That's why i was so excited when i see this umbrella....soooo smart!! It will also be very handy walking down those narrow sidewalks! Watch the video from her website!

Hmmmm interesting...

This could be interesting..... i was really exciting when i read about it....But after looking at the reviews by All Lacquered Up, I have a bit of hesitation. The three that really caught my eyes were Lincoln Park After Dark (plum), Russian Navy (navy) and You Don’t Know Jacques!(grey). I have the original version of You Don’t Know Jacques! and i love it!!!! Although my mom seems to think it looks like i have been playing with clay......Anyhow....but after reading the review, the ones i really want is Lincoln Park After Dark cause it's more like a matte black with purple undertone...and La Paz-itively Hot (pink)....which turns out to be a pink that i really like...not too shiny......The other two that i originally like looked kinda boring...... Too bad i m not in Van..... i hate to have to spend HKD 100 when i can buy it for CAD 9.99 in Van......
