floral + black + red

November 28, 2009 By Chie

Wearing Vivat Veritas dress, wet seal leggings, vintage belt and gem pumps from Japan.

I did not go crazy on Black Friday, but I did make one purchase at edor. I love her tiny jewelries, and in fact, I’ve made one purchase at edor before and totally loved it. So I got another necklace for a Christmas gift.

Here is little diy I did the other day. I had this top in navy blue with a lots of floral, and it’s cute but I thought I could add some more to make it little more stylish. So I cropped the top short, and added skirt part with black jersey to make a dress. With the left over fabric from the top, I made some covered buttons, and added three of them in the front.

Happy thanksgiving!

Happy be-lated thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is my most favorite American holiday… I think. I love cooking big dinner, and get together with family and friends and share what each one is thankful for. I think I am thankful for having be able to transition to life back in Japan from the States so smoothly. I anticipated much worse. I thought I would dislike living here. I’m glad it’s proven to be wrong! It’s so nice to kind of stop and think about all the things that you are blessed with…
We did not have dinner on Thursday night, but we are having a party tomorrow! Mom and I went to Costco to get turkey, and it is de-frosting right now, to be ready to be cooked.. We decided to do it on Saturday so our friends can come (We don’t have Thursday off, obviously, it’s American holiday).

Anyway, I wanted to post another oatmeal project I created the other day. I made it simple and versatile. Since I had some fabric left over, I made a matching scarf as well. I uploaded this to my shop🙂

xo!

Room wear?

November 15, 2009 By Chie

Immediately after I was done with work on Thursday, I stopped at Nippori fabric row. My heart jumped when I sew this bow fabric – I just love girly things, like bows! I made this mini dress this weekend, and well, I intended it to be a mini dress, but I think it came out more as a room wear or PJ? Perhaps because of the pattern? I listed this on etsy, and decided to leave it up to whoever wants this on how she would wear it. I think this would make a cute room wear, paired with a pair of leggings or something.
