Halloween!

I did not hear anything about Halloween 3 years ago in Japan, but I can see this holiday is becoming bigger over here as well. I see Hallowen candies and costumes at the store now. Andy and I went to Shibuya to meet our friend, who dressed up as Michael Jackson. I think he did a pretty good job, no?

hot pink!

For this cardigan, I got the inspiration from the Karen Cardigan that BurdaStyle posted last week. Since I don’t have a patience to print out pattern, put them together and all that, I just made it myself something similar. I think mine is a bit less flowing, less ruffly because Andy hates ruffle. I do like a little bit or ruffle, but I tend to avoid overly sweet ruffly stuff. I also added two buttons, one outside and one inside of the cardigan and button loops so it can be worn button up as well. As I was taking pictures for the cardigan outside of my house, I found those lovely flowers which happened to be the same color as my new creation:)

The bodice is only one fabric. This time, I connected the front panels and back panel together, instead of making side seems. I wanted to create somewhat flowey less formal look. I am thinking of making this in maybe linen or something for a jacket next time.

Wearing: handmade cardi, harem pants from thailand, unknown black pumps, and thrifted gold chain and pearl necklace.

Girl crush: Gemma Ward

Ever since Gemma Ward was on the commercial for Kose cosmetics in Japan, I became a big fan of her. I tend to have girl crush on girls with kind of baby face, like Gemma, Sasha Pivovarova or Channel Iman. I like rather cute type than beautiful… so I collected some images of Gemma, contemplating in her beauty… wish I look like her.
