8 more days before my trip....
I am so excited to share with you this little interview I had with this stylish lady. Renee's famous blog is an amazing space that stores an extensive collection of fashion, prints and patterns and photography that catch her eyes. I love her ethnic style and color choices and have been a long-time fan of her blog. When I found out that she just went to Japan recently, I knew I needed to snatch her for a little interview. So here I bring you a brief Tokyo city guide in Renee's very own version.
