New book, 'ayu lifestyle book' out January 23rd, 2014

[anna_ayu]

Thanks for new pics! I would like so much this photobook!

And Ayu´s mother is congenial. I think Ayu looks like with her.

I think that circle of trainers is Isabel Marant. For those interested she seems to have quite a lot of Jo Malone fragrances and some candles too. I also recognise Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb perfume (which I wear too!) Some of the choices I wouldn't have associated with Ayu. I think Gucci and Chanel for Ayu mainly. The Row definitely suits Ayu's blazer over the shoulders look. I love the pages shown so far, I really think I'd like to buy this!
And for those for are interested in the fur issue. French Connection is unlikely to be real fur because of the price point but Fendi still is. Karl Lagerfeld is still in charge of Fendi and although one of his Chanel collections was done completely in fake fur, the customer base does still demand it so they will keep using it unfortunately.

Oh my god, her shampoo/conditioner costs over 10000yen per bottle.

Her mom looks so young!

[Yumsushi]

I can't believe how expensive her hair and skin products are....I wonder if there's anything in the book your average person can afford

Ayu and her mother look so so alike!!!
Especially now that ayu has aged a bit... I used to think that ayu got some surgical work done on her lips because they used to be thinner and now they are more full. But seeing her mother having the same lips and facial features maybe I was wrong and it's just a matter of age! Lol
Not that I care particularly, really! Beautiful photos. My photobook should arrive soon **

IMHO it's not a surprise that she got a ton of stuffs, but like most artists, i believe some are endorsed, meaning she got paid to wear that for free (especially if she mentions the brand name like that). So it's not like she's trying to shove it in our faces, probably she got paid to show those LVs and chanels in this book as well.

What's shocking is she only owns a few birkins (in an ironic way), cause even a friend of mine has a whole closet.

Anyway, wasn't Ayu very active of doing charity? I remember seeing reports that she donated a lot of money during the earthquake and something to do with children as well. and she also collaborated during song+nation for 9/11 victims right? Pretty sure she did lots but she doesn't want a lot of people to see, which is a good cause.

if you want to see what is the meaning of "look how fabulous I am" then you guys should check out this instagram @princessyahrini (without meaning of bashing) of a local artist. I'm just glad ayu's not like her.

I mean, she doesn't even own a car anymore. She says she just rents them when she needs them, which is probably only when she is in LA/Hawaii. Anyways, I just received the book and it is absolutely stunning.

It seems like she has three houses? The Beach House, Main house, and LA?

I wasn't expecting her skincare to be this kind, it isn't expensive at all. Maybe I'll give them a try,it seems natural and organic
And I also think the brands are paying to be shown in the book, look at this:

They are selling a bundle with all the products ayu uses!

Yay thank you for that. I want it too! =)

The brand may just be using the book as backwards advertising. Bundling the products and saying that Ayu used them to sell units.

They may have paid, but they could also just be cashing in on them being featured.

The brand itself looks really nice and natural, I'll be trying them out once I've used up the stuff I have.

[toniayu]

Is this book limited? Because it is sold out at many online stores such as amazon,HMV and mu-mo, it is still available at CDJ and YA though.

[truehappiness]

They are probably printing some more copies.

wow ayu's houses interiors are just so amazing!

[kinix]

Seems like she's got 3 house. 1 Beach house, 1 Main house in Japan and 1 in LA. Love the main house decoration wall where all her albums were displayed seems to have ayupans displayed too but not being fully disclosed in the pic. A bit too dark though. but the facilities in the 3 houses is just too damn good >.< would sure love to have a vacation in her house haha.

[AyUmIXx]

^ yep.. her japan house is the most amazing one..
the beach house is in japan right?
i'm still speechless of her taste in interiors..really amazing!

[Linza-mo]

I'm also very surprised by her good taste with her house (except the main house huuum too much "A" mark =D)
I really love the beach house (yes, it's at Fukuoka ! )

This book is better than I excepted <3
