    Model & Fashionista Ayako Ogawa

    My fashion style varies a lot depending on the season and mood. Lately I’ve really been into the dark feminine look. I’m also a very active person and love to stay fit, so athleisure is another one of my go to looks. During colder seasons, however, I like to be versatile. I love to play with different layers and usually opt for streetwear sort of clothing; an effortless yet edgy style.

    As for shopping, it depends on the clothing. For quick and easy summer clothes, I usually like to shop online from boutiques or stores like the kript, ohpolly or revolve. I do like to shop in stores a lot when I’m back in Tokyo, particularly places like moussy, shelter or beams. For more winter based clothes, I like to shop at APC, acne studios or NAKD (an online shop).

    If you could learn anything in this world, what will it be?

    I want to learn more about the impacts of AI and how, if it is even possible, it will replace programmers and humans in the foreseeable future. I’m very intrigued by such topics as it’s still a new phenomenon and is rapidly changing the way we do things online.

    What favorite pastimes do you have?

    I love to stay active regularly by exercising, going for a class like pilates and spin, and lately a lot of golfing. I also love to just sit in a cafe and drink good filters or oat lattes, whilst reading a good book. On the weekends, well, you know what happens on those nights!

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a foodie are you?

    20/10! I’m a very adventurous person when it comes to food. I think my family has always placed a big emphasis on food since young, and I am very grateful to have traveled the world to experience an array of cuisines. I can and will eat anything, literally.

    Would you rather have the ability to fly or talk to animals?

    The ability to fly. Since I’m an avid traveller, i think it’d make my life a lot easier and less physically exhausting!

    Do you believe in any superstition?

    I believe in good and bad karma. Do good things and it will reciprocate back to you. Do bad things and vice versa.

    What turns you off on a date?

    A man with no ambition (or a lack thereof), and when he’s using you. A girl knows when she’s being taken advantage of!

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Ayako. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Sexy to me is just being confident in your own skin and embracing every inch of what you got. As cliche as it sounds, but really if you constantly tell yourself “I’m sexy”, your subconscious mind programs you to feel that way. As Buddha once said “what you think, you become”.

  • Fashion Model & Vlogger Mara Smith

    Fashion Model & Vlogger Mara Smith

    Hello! Thank you for having me. Well I am Mara Smith, twenty one years old and I am a mixed Filipina-Black American born in Los Angeles, California but raised here in the Philippines since I was about three years old. I am currently working as a fashion model and I also am starting out to share my experiences through vlogging.

    Which is the best compliment you have received?

    I always appreciate when I get compliments of how good and professional I am to work with. I enjoy my job as a model and even though it may look easy, it is a tough job and it requires discipline and hard work excel to at it.

    What is your beauty regime like to looking so fabulous?

    I’ve learned to invest in good and as much as possible organic skincare, quality makeup and clothes, and living a healthy lifestyle consistently. No to soda and too much junk food!

    How much of a foodie are you?

    I love food so much but in my line of work I cannot afford to always indulge. I’m very open to try different cuisines and taste new dishes all the time and I enjoy most of them except for meat, I’m trying to cut down on those.

    Do you have any hobbies or interests?

    Yes! I spend most of my time reading YA, Dystopian and Mystery novels, watching movies, spending quality time with my family, and lately I’ve been trying to develop my personal style more by learning about fashion styling.

    Which flavor best describes you?

    Milk chocolate.

    If you could be a fictional or cartoon character, who will it be?

    I’ve always wanted to be Barbie cause she has good style, or Jasmine from Aladdin.

    What turns you off on a date?

    I don’t like someone who talks about themselves in a very egotistical way. Someone who describes their life, success and personality as almost perfect because if you have good qualities it should be shown, not bragged. Just walk the talk.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Mara. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Sexy for me is when you are fearless about whatever it is you want, who you want to be with and comfortable in your own skin. For me, dressing classy and stylish, having a healthy and toned body, and being confident in who you are will always be sexy.
