I Made A Book Bag!



tee. jam pixy
shorts. lois crayon
tights. tutuanna
scarf belt. thrift store in machida
necklace. betsey johnson (gift)
leather book bag. handmade :)

today i finished making my mini suitcase in leather accessories class~~ it took maybe eight hours to make, each stitch is hand sewn, and i even polished the insides to make it nice and smooth!
i love the color of this leather, i was so lucky to find such a big piece of leather for only 500yen, usually it would cost around 4000 to 6000! i bought the leather in Nippori (aka textile town), but there is also a very good leather shop in Asakusabashi near the JR station

it it just the right size to fit my wallet (fat from all the unnecessary point cards), my ipod, book, cellphone, keys, and still space for snacks ;))

i've also discovered a very neat boutique in the nearby mall, the brand is called Lois Crayon and they sell very unique style clothing, i heard that instead of manufacturing large amounts in overseas factories, they make each individual piece which makes them even more unique!
their brand image is very vintage themed and their one piece dresses are adorable!!
just don't judge them based on their website, the actual store is a million times better!!

damn straight,


top. forever 21
pants. some store in jusco

lately i haven't been putting any effort into my clothes, the weather has been switching from rainy to sunny spontaneously so i have a huuuuuge pile of laundry to do... i only wear these pants when i have nothing else to wear... they sag so much...

yesterday i got a straight perm and bangs, i kind of just wanted my roots straightened and keep my waves, but i guess my explanation sucked... and now my hair is super damn straight!
the last time i had bangs i cut them myself so they were really uneven, and that was five years ago...

my friend said i look like Shibasaki Kou (battle royale)

i really like the Swedish designer Ewa i Walla, her clothes are so fun~
there's something about Sweden that i really like, i've always wanted to live there, even for just a short while

and i took my pattern making certification test on saturday!!!
it was ok i guess... the results come out mid july!!!
i'm happy it's over because now i can relax a little, but sad too because it felt really good to work hard and study for something and the nerve racking-ness of it all was just so exciting~

next come my fashion competitions!!!
aaaaaaahh~~ there's so much to do!!!
life is too exciting!

ever since watching the movie Heidi (the Japanese version) i've always dreamed of spending a summer in the Swiss Alps milking cows and making cheese and yogurt, there's something about milk and dairy that just lightens up my day, although lately i have been getting stomach aches from drinking milk which is really sad, i refuse to be lactose intolerant!!

today i went to Ginza with my classmate to do some market research for my class, i checked out the new Forever 21 there, it's pretty big!! and i didn't know f21 made kid's clothes~~ i can't wait for my next paycheck!!!
although i'm on a tight budget, so motivate me to stop spending money!!!
but that doesn't mean i'll give up my daily snack treat, without it i find no sense in life, i mean what's the point of living if you can't enjoy it right??

so everyone treat yourself to something nice!! a simple cookie goes a long way ;)
