I'm a colour coward in the sense that I'm absolutely  NOT afraid of most colours whatsoever.... but then when it comes to limiting myself to just one colour, it's just too difficult and everyday I try to incorporate at least two colours in an outfit for fear or having too much of one colour.  I'm not adverse to being dipped in one bright vibrant colour either.  But what of that fashion favourite black?  Head-toe-black is something that I definitely shy away from and haven't done since I was a mardy teenager.  I just lack the skills to make all-over-black interesting in the way that I want my outfits to be.   

However over at Bunka fashion college in Tokyo though, they take really play with their black and seem to come out looking not like a a fashion college tribe but managing to wear their black in their own different ways.  I'm picking up notes to remember when even attempting to do my own version of all-over-black; blazers, quirky accessories, braces, layering, wingtips.... all things I have/can do.... I'm guessing if I haven't attempted to do it then it just probably isn't my natural instinct. Oh well, idea explored. Idea closed.  Expect attempts at bright colour all-over dipping instead (see how my mind just works in silly tangents...?)

Still, pretty pics from the other side of the world are always good eye-candy.  These are taken by Swedish-born, Tokyo-residing Sanna Berger who has launched a plethora of street stylin' blogs.... Vagabond Looks which documents streetstyle in Tokyo, The Vagabond Set which is the Tokyoite version of Dirty Dirty Dancing and Cobrasnake (spotted These New Puritans, Henry Holland and Uffie ALREADY... get her!) and finally Sanna's own personal blog where she takes cute images of herself and her seemingly fun-filled life in Tokyo, thus making me rather jealous...
