Realistic City Selfie

Create a highly realistic casual smartphone selfie that looks like an authentic Instagram Story lifestyle snap taken outdoors in a Japanese city. The subject is a cheerful young woman, {argument name="character name" default="unnamed"}, with {argument name="hair color" default="short blonde hair with soft face-framing bangs"}, warm natural makeup, clear glowing skin, small hoop earrings, and a gentle closed-mouth smile while looking directly into the phone camera. She is holding the phone high and slightly wide-angle, arm extended toward the lower-left foreground, creating a natural selfie distortion and an intimate candid feel. She wears a plain white crew-neck T-shirt tucked into light blue high-waisted denim shorts, a thin silver necklace, a white watch or bracelet, and carries a beige canvas tote bag over one shoulder. In her other hand she holds exactly 2 visible items: an iced coffee in a clear plastic cup with a domed lid and black straw, and a white plastic shopping bag. Set the scene on a sunny sidewalk near a crosswalk, with urban storefronts, leafy street trees, a cafe terrace with warm interior lights, tiled pavement, tactile paving, and exactly 1 parked bicycle visible on the right side. Include a few distant pedestrians in the background, softly blurred. Use late-afternoon golden-hour sunlight, natural shadows, realistic skin texture, subtle lens distortion, smartphone HDR look, shallow but not overly artificial depth of field, and a candid everyday fashion-photo mood. The overall atmosphere should be {argument name="overall mood" default="natural, friendly, stylish, and unposed"}. No text overlays, no watermark, no beauty-pageant posing, no studio lighting, no fantasy elements.
