3rd or 4th home

Pictures back from when I was staying at the Prince Hotel in Karuizawa. The architecture around the cottage is so lovely! Coming back here, I am always greeted by a cool gust of wind, regardless of the temperature in Tokyo, and the earthy smell of trees that surround us no matter where we are here. 

These cuties are so used to humans; when you come outside they waddle out of the water thinking they'll get food!

Skirt and lace white cardigan from a boutique in Ikebukuro.

First night at the Karuizawa Prince Hotel. It's an annual tradition to come here at the end of August. It's always about 5-10˚ colder than Tokyo, which I absolutely am thankful for. When I was here, it was so cold that I constantly needed layers, and the rain didn't make it any better. But this night was beautiful and I danced in the rain.
