[Running around NY]
Recently, I've been doing coordination for magazines.
In the sweltering heat
I was covering all over New York.
Several magazines with beautiful photos are scheduled to be published in Japan in the fall and winter.
Please look forward to it.
I was once involved in overseeing a famous New York guidebook.
The rapidly changing New York
Stores and trends change rapidly in just one year.
There was no Google Maps
I walked all over Manhattan and made a map.
In those days, there were still very few stores with websites.
Calling door to door
Check if the number has changed, and also check opening hours and holidays directly
Also, Brooklyn before the current boom.
I introduced it to the core, focusing on my beloved DeKalb and Bed-Stuy.
Take photos with a digital camera instead of a smartphone
Write a sentence
New York, which I built with my own feet and eyes
It's still firmly embedded in my body.
I'm making the most of all of this experience as a New York coordinator (I'm sure haha)
Thank you
from now on
"NY with Kimiko was the best"
I will continue to work hard so that you can say this!
I will upload the photos and videos overflowing on my smartphone to Instagram.
Please follow @KimikoHarlem too!

＜Starbucks x Hello Kitty collaboration begins＞
♥Not available in Japan, only available overseas♥
This winter
One more thing to enjoy in New York!
Starting November 6th at Starbucks in the US and Canada
"Starbucks x Hello Kitty" collaboration has begun!
The theme is "Together in Fun Forever"
Hello Kitty wearing a green Starbucks apron
The design is surrounded by coffee cups and beans.
It's packed with cuteness and playfulness.
Moreover, at this point in time, "no announcement has been made about the campaign being held in Japan."
A rare opportunity that can only be experienced locally!
The playful mugs, tumblers, bottles, stuffed toys, etc. are all likely to become collector's items.
The lineup you're interested in
●16 oz ceramic mug, about $33 ●Stainless steel cold cup, about $33 ●Acrylic cup, about $25 And many more
The highlight is the "Boxed Plush" Hello Kitty plush toy in a green apron, priced at about $35.
All of them are limited in quantity and are sure to sell out.
Because the items handled vary depending on the store
It would be fun to go around Starbucks in New York.
Starbucks, born in 1971
Hello Kitty was born in 1974
Brands loved by people of all ages and countries come together this holiday season ♥
This dream collaboration is a "fusion of cultures."
Hello Kitty is very popular in New York ♡
Check out the video of last year's hugely successful pop-up store at a luxury department store to see just how amazing it was!
