Inspiration: silent sundays

By

I’ve been a long time follower of Rhiannon’s blog, Liebemarlene Vintage, ever since I found out about it through her flickr page. I love her girly style, and I’m always looking forward to her outfit posts. She has a really talented young sister, who sells vintage on etsy and also sews (love her sewing saturday series!) Anyway, I just found out about silent sundays, Rhiannon’s new online shop full of vintage and new designer clothing.  Everything in the shop is so lovely…

Interview: FeduLab

By

Happy Tuesday! It’s been a bit hectic since my father-in-law and his wife came to visit us here in Japan. They came to see the first granddaughter Sophia Kiko.  They flew in from New York and have been spending time with her as well as taking in the sights! I’m so glad that they are able to see her when she is still a baby, since babies grow up so fast, and I don’t want the family to miss out on this time in her life. We took them all around and were able  to take them to Odaiba over weekend(which they particularly enjoyed), and we stayed with my parents for the past two nights(my parents are much better hosts then Andy and I 🙂

Anyway, today, I wanted to share this really cute shop that I found – FeduLab. I came to know of her blog and shop from a comment she left on my blog a while back. I love her cute Goldfish pin cushion – every sewer needs a cute pin cushion, right?

Besides pin cushions, her shop has all kinds of handmade goodies: make up pouches, totes, felt broaches and coin purses.

Introductions have never been my forte so I will allow her to speak for herself. Below you can read a little about her.

“Born 25 years ago in a small town near Milan (Italy) I’ve learned since I was young the art of sewing and embroidery by Letizia the dear grandmother, seamstress by profession.
Following a brief spell in the marketing world, I found myself sewn to my first love fabrics and buttons and thus FEDULAB, handbags and accessories was born!
The inspiration? Comes from the most simple and everyday things as a walk or a chat with a friend but she also browses the many fashion magazines and the web hopping from one blog to another.”

$100 Shopbop Gift Card Giveaway – CLOSED

By

Hello all!  As you might know, I am not a huge fan of advertising (except for myself :p ), but when an offer comes around that I really like why not take part?

The kind folks at Shopbop.com offered a $100 Shopbop gift card giveaway for one lucky readers of my blog!  I am sure most of you know Shopbop.com but if you don’t I highly recommend you check it out.  It is a great site that I use and actually used it a couple of months ago while I was looking for a pair of  Tory Burch flats.  Andy insisted that I buy myself something for Christmas and my friend Kaitlyn got me hooked on Tory Burch.  One thing that usually stops me from ordering offline is the international shipping fee  but that is not a problem with Shopbop.com because they offer free international shipping!  The store site is easy to use and offers a ton of different designers I highly recommend you stopping over there and picking up a Tory Burch wallet or Tory Burch hobo to match a Vivat Veritas piece (hint hint hint ;p ).  Also while you are there make sure to become a Fan of Shopbop via Facebook to keep track of their latest offers.

Here’s how you can enter the Giveaway:  Leave a comment with a link to your favorite item from Shopbop.com and the winner will be selected using a random number generator.

I am jealous that I cant enter this giveaway myself but I knew you all would enjoy it, so leave a comment and I will choose a winner using random number generator . This giveaway will be open for 10 days from today!
