A Touch of 70′s- TOKYObay Flora Watch Shoot

Flora Watch by TOKYObay

Why 70′s? Because it reminds me of an era I wish I had lived in. Bold colors. Big pants. Casual lifestyle. Here is my second installment of photos I took for San Francisco accessories brand, TOKYObay. The piece I am presenting is the retro Flora watch featured above. The watch contains an ivory dial and floral suede strap; both qualities I love in a watch.

My outfit is a representation on how seventies flare can be added to a simple modern outfit; for example, a pair of skinny jeans and a black tank. I changed up my simple outfit by adding in a stylish yellow shoulder bag, bright blue drop earrings, and a multi-colored patterned scarf. Color is huge right now. Can’t wait to get my hands on some neon!

Photo Shoot with San Francisco Accessories Brand, TOKYObay (Part I)

: TOKYObay Neptune Wristwatch & Piaja Handbag

I was generously gifted a variety of product from San Francisco acessories brand TOKYObay this past month. TOKYObay is a retro fashion accessories brand based in San Francisco and founded in 1991 by British born designer, Dory Isaacs and her Japanese partner Jun Kobayashi. The fusion of both the minimalist Japanese aesthetic and the retro British styling creates a unique range of vintage inspired watches and bags.

When asked which products I would most like to receive I chose the black Neptune wristwatch and blue Piaja shoulder bag featured above. I chose the Neptune watch because of its fun retro look. The dial is like any I have seen before, reminiscent of an old digital alarm clock. The Piaja handbag struck my eye with its vibrant color, easy access zippers, and versatile studded flap. Featured throughout this post are a variety of photos I took with the product while on my bed and breakfast trip last weekend to the quaint town of Twain Harte, CA. Enjoy!
