Buffalo Teeth Necklace Ver.2.0

My friend told me that my buffalo teeth necklace would look better if I use turquoise beads.  So, I took the advice and made the second version.

Those turquoise beads gave it the look of native American jewlry.  It looks bolder and more masculine than the original one.  I surely like the change.
I had the feeling that it would look nice to wear with a leather jacket.  So, I tried it out.

I'm wearing it with 70's North Beach Leather jacket, Junk Food Rolling Stones T, Deasel Daze jeans, and vintage Justin work boots.  The necklace is wild and loud, but I like it very much.  I guess I will go out as it is and have fun!!

1-Minute-Upgrade To The Look

OK, I'm back!  I was a little sick last week, and it wasn't fun at all.  I got go out tonight, so I'm glad that I feel all fine.
I was invited over for my friend's birthday party, so I would like to dress decent.  I don't have to put on formal clothes for this though I like to wear a suit and tie.  That might be a little too much for the occasion.
So, here is the outfit I chose.

I'm wearing a vintage black fur coat, a 70's flower print shirt, Antik Denim slim jeans, and U.S. paratrooper boots.
When I put on all the items together, I knew I picked the right pieces, but I didn't like the total look.  The jeans were too long, and the coat looked like a bathrobe.
I had to do someting to make it work.

I just swapped the belt on the coat and tucked the pants into the boots.  It took me more than 1 minute, but little changes like that gave a totally different look, and I like this better. 
It looks sharper and more contemporary.
Now, I'm ready to head out!!

On Break

I was beading all night and doing errands this morning.  I finally decided to take a break this afternoon.
At local Starbucks, I had a Mocha because I was craving for something sweet.
Having a couple of sips, for no reasens at all, I suddenly started thinking about Vogue Paris Magazine.  Ms. Carine Roitfeld left FrenchVogue in the end of January, and Ms. Emmanuelle Alt is in charge now.  I haven't checked the latest issue of Vogue Paris yet, so that's one task I can do today.

It was 40°F outside, so I was wearing a sheepskin coat to keep me warm.  Ramons T from Hot Topic, Levis Type1 jeans, and Convers by John Varvatos were worn with.
I have to finish the project I'm working on by the end of today, so I must go.  At least I feel refreshed now!

Fun Goes On!

Yes, I'm still making beads necklaces this week!!  It's time consuming and frustrating sometimes, but everytime I see the finished piece, I'm glad that I did it.  And here is the newest one.
A grass beads necklace with silver ankh.  It took me quite some time to assemble this because it is about 7 feet long. 

It appears like this when it is worn.  At first, I thought it can be annoying because the pendant connecter part is so long and it could keep on dangling around.  I wore this all day and found out that it wasn't as bad as I thought.


Here is the overview.  I can say that I am satisfied with the overall look.  This is just about how I want this necklace to fit.

This may not be called jewelry making, for I didn't make the pendant top.  I found it at a thrift store and rearrange it in the way I like, so I'd rather call it "recycling."   I still have few projects to do, and that's going to keep me busy for a while.  I'll have fun!!
