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!!

I Made These Pants In Sewing Class!!

material. wool print and polyester lining

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!

can you do the can can?

can can hat. pony maruoka

jacket. earth music & ecology

shirt. dkny

pants. i'm not wearing any... just kidding, they're from fcuk although you can't see them

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 ;)

kansai yamamoto

today my teacher told me there was some fashion event going on tonight, so i went with my classmates after school... i thought it was gonna be a fashion show or something like that, but it was a actually "let's win the nomination for the 2016 olympics" event......

yea it was kinda wierd... we were told to clap and fill up the hot air balloon with our energy..... it wasn't a fashion show at all! wft? and it was only like 30 minutes too... it took 30 minutes just to get there, oh well.

safari!

apparently there was a train accident this morning so by the time i got to the station the lines were hella long, the train was packed, soooooo packed.

i considered getting off and waiting for the next train but there was no space to move, seriously trains in japan suck during rush hour.

anyways, i felt adventurous and so here is my safari outfit

button up top. cinema club

buffalo top. silence + noise (urban outfitters)

skirt. school bus (thrift store)

tights. Don Quixote, its a japanese family store, kinda like target but small and packed

and my favorite piece of the day.

elephant necklace. was a gift from a panda!

Neon

gotta love bright colors (:

neon yellow top. buffalo exchange

purple tube top. handmade

skirt. wet seal

tights. leg avenue

and those glasses are fake.

Today I had to do a lot of errands and walked a lot under the sun. I don't have anymore sunscreen and it's freaking me out, my skin must be so mad right now. I gotta add that to my to do list.

ramen girl

Today was only morning class, so I went to eat ramen with some classmates. It was really crowded so we ended up waiting in line, but it was worth it. I had Miso Orochon Ramen... I don't know what Orochon means... but it was good. It reminded me of the movie Ramen Girl with Britney Murphy, which was a wierd movie... but makes you wanna eat ramen hella bad.

Ew, my English is falling apart, please excuse me.

Then we went to Mac Donalds to get soft serve then the arcade where I played the drum set game for the first time... it was fun and I discovered I'm not as bad as I thought I would be. But I do suck at the Japanese version of Guitar Hero... really suck.

I hope I don't get too hooked on those arcade games, cuz they cost a fortune.

Anyways, I didn't feel like trying today so I dressed down.

Tshirt. Graphic Tee Store

Hoodie. Van's

Pants. my dad's old pants

scarf!

Today I tried out the new scarf I got after watching a ten minute youtube video all about scarfs. Yes, it's true.

I put it on with a long chain, but I was so scared it would get caught on something and I would choke to death... my mom has brainwashed me into thinking everything is dangerous, ........ yeah.

I didn't so that's good, but today in class we spent six hours... SIX HOURS! just thinking of ideas for eco bags, seriously, what does my tuition money go towards? I thought of my idea within the first hour and spent the rest of the time sleeping and taking pictures with my friend with photobooth, hehe.

I designed an eco bag and a dress to go with it, I'll post up pictures when I they're done~

But seriously... I am the only one who reads this blog... I've checked the view count... yup.

So, school started for me in April, but today is the first day back from summer break. There was a mini typhoon today and I didn't own an umbrella... I hate umbrellas. Yes, more than rain. But anyways, I've decided to keep a blog on my outfits for what I wear each day... we'll see how far this lasts... I am very bad at keeping in touch and continuing things, so I will have to try hard!

Oh, and I just moved into my dorm a few days ago!

It's kinda cool, but I still need to get used to sharing showers and bathrooms... and get over my fear of naked people. That is why I study fashion, I just want everyone to wear clothes!

Ok, so my outfit for today~
