Hanging Out with Nao

First things first, a big thank you to the reader who reccomended Brown Rice Cafe to me-it's my new favorite. I've grabbed lunch there the past two days with my mom. 

An exciting find right next to Brown Rice Cafe was the Crayon House-a kids book and toy store, which also has an organic cafe downstairs. 

  

The kids books there were sooo cute...wish I could read them.

I'd like to know what this book was about...can't read japanese but I'm pretty sure the title is Satan Rides the Big Queef.

Loved this one about a kindly furry turd monster.

Upstairs at the Crayon House was the toy floor(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

Mom and I were wanting to bring all of these cool toys home and then we saw this big siamese kitty......

and suddenly kitty was the only thing that mattered to us. We were getting so lonely without our pets, this kitty was the perfect solution. It was immediately decided that the kitty would be our constant companion.

 

We've only just picked out a name for the kitty: her name is Nao.

Went back to Brown Rice Cafe yesterday-with Nao in tow. 

Nao likes to ride in my mom's Prada bag.

Yesterday I wore a men's tee from Urban Outfitters, a skirt from a japanese label I can't seem to remember, Natalia Brilli amp cord neckalce and Nolex watch, and Martin Margiela cowboy boots.

 

Mom wears Hysteric Glamour jeans, Nakkna dress, and orange flip flops

Did some shooting in Harjuku again yesterday-it's nice to shoot here because no one ever says 'no' to having their picture taken.

 

 

We've found that Nao causes a scene wherever she goes...it's hilarious, people cannot keep their shit together when they see this cat!! Flocks of old ladies were attacking us yesterday...a chorus of 'kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiii's followed Nao wherever she went. A group of girls even started doing a totally hysterical imitation of Nao's floppy arms when we were walking down the street with her.

Nao and I posed for a streetstyle blog.

Nao has made many friends since we freed her from the Crayon House.

Here is Kohta again, posing with Nao!

It's raining again today-I think my mom and I are going to take Nao to the aquarium. C ya later.

Love your style and love your eye! I just stumbled on your blog and went as far back as I could. I am a fellow Texas clothingophile from Austin. Just wondering, one of my favorite pictures is of you in the bed by the windowsill.. how did you enjoy The Magus? It is one of my favorite books ever, such a trip.

nao is way too cute.
and omg, it's my first time to see you wearing flats!

This is so great!! I loved it, and your outfit is really nice too :)

Lovely blog!!

Nao is just too cute. I love it. I also love your outfit! :D

Awww I love Nao!
I'm a total cat lady at heart, not going to lie.
But seriously, have you noticed how many stray cats there are in Japan?
They're EVERYWHERE.
I went a few summers ago and made like a hundred kitty friends :)

Lovely! ;)
I have a tiny plush bullterrier which travels with me aaaallll the time - he is my model as well ;)
If you are ever in London - take Nao with you!;)

Wouldn't imagine Nao to create such a scene in Tokyo...so cute! You look gorgeous in that skirt:)

"Satan Rides the Big Queef." That's seriously the funniest thing I've read all week. And congrats on the new cat =]

LOVE that ourtfit... I love blue so much. Not such a cat person though...

the food looks amazing! i am always loving your boots :)

When I was little I lived in Singapore, one day after I had done a school play my mum said she'd buy me something nice. We went to Toys'r'Us and I chose a cuddly siamese cat who is a smaller version of Nao! (but with less floppy arms and in a much worse state seeing as shes waaaay over hugged!)

Its obviously a popular design in Asia!! Mines called Katy.

The title of the book is something like "The Red Monster Who Cried". But "Satan Rides the Big Queef" was close!
Have you and your mom been to Shimokitazawa yet? It's twenty minutes from Harajuku, practically a city dedicated to secondhand clothing stores. The people there dress the strangest in all Japan, you should deffinately check it out. There's this store called Grand Bazaar and they have Yohji Yamamotos and MIHARAYASUHIROs, and the most stylish shop keepers.
I'll be there tomorrow, and then to Harajuku too... maybe I'll run into you =)

This gave me the biggest smile, and I still can't stop smiling :D
Nao is ridiculously adorable.
So adorable, that it made me almost forget about Satan riding the big queef!

everyone needs a Nao every now and then :)

You made my day! I love your super-cute outfit and Nao is so funky, haha :D

Peace and love!

I love the UO tee, skirt, and cowboy boots combo. It looks fabulous!
