Fashion Love Post

It's been a while. I had a lovely venture to the LA area, staying with a few friends and enjoying my first week of winter vacation. More to report on that later.

To continue with the title of this post...

I am dumping a couple photographs of fashion in Tokyo that I enjoyed.


Her jacket(s? Are there two jackets hanging out over there?) just grabbed my attention straightaway. Her shoes even match and complement the flavor of her colorful jacket.


While the expression on the girl's face is a little odd, there's something I love about her outfit. I never would have thought that you could successfully pair a polka-dotted shirt with more of a striped, curly skirt. Her hair is also nothing short of a Japanese salon wonder.

I also find it fun to notice the guy carrying a pink handbag (presumably her's). How sweet of you, sir.

And so the quarter ends

With my last final out of the way, school has officially ended for the quarter.
I now have time to realize that my blog is most unfortunately unattended; it seems schoolwork and the like have taken up a great portion of my time.

I have acquired some new toys for my craft kit, however. They include an interesting fabric glue that I am dying to test out (I even have the shirts ready for my attack), a cute pair of pliers, and organizing boxes from Daiso for my various crafting odds and ends. I cleaned out my supplies yesterday and realized that they are getting out of hand; later on they will be sorted into the boxes and I won't have to deal with plastic bags floating everywhere anymore!

In the time that I did manage to scrounge for some craft-viewing pleasure, I discovered that I really enjoy Make's little video episodes. Here is one I really enjoyed (among so many!): It features the work of Reuben Margolin. I'm fascinated by how he combines mechanics with aesthetics - using sine waves as his basis, he creates beautiful moving sculptures.

If you liked this video, you should check out some more at http://www.makezine.tv/. A few others I've seen include "Bicycle Rodeo" and "Fire Sculpture." So much fun!
