Aｒｔ Day!

It is still in the middle of March, and outside temperature is 74°F.  If the weather stays like this, there is going to be no more "coat days!"  I'm hoping for one more cold days, so I can put on a coat one last time.
Anyways, I am going to visit a local art musium at last.  I've wanted to go there, but something has always come up, and I've had to postpone it till today.
I got the perfect shirt for this occasion. 

This is a 70's Nik Nik Disco shirt with a print of Picasso's painting (or just a lookalike).   When you are going to visit an art museum, you cannot go wrong with this shirt!!

So, this was the look of the day.  I was wearing the shirt with 80's Dolce & Gabbana jacket, D&G damaged jeans, and a pair of Tony Lama lizard skin boots.  I put on a skinny red tie as a finishing touch.
I was ready to rock'n roll!

The museum was quite pleasent.  There, I could see the collction of African American art that was flood of vivid colors.  As I was strolling through, the museum staff was following me everywhere.  He must have liked my shirt.
Those statues in the picture above were the most bizarre yet mysterious objects I've ever seen.  They made me feel that little back yard of the museum was their world and I was the alien.  That was spooky.
It was a very much fun day.  I have to go visit other museums, for it would be inspiring.

Spring Is Near

I had to kill some time for my haircut appointment, so I was at a shopping mall just looking around.  It's already March, and soon,  it is going to be officially spring! 
I guess I'd enjoy winter fashion while I can.  It will be too hot  to wear coats and jackets in a month or so.

I could see spring in all the displays in the mall.  This one was at Louis Vuitton.  It made me want to wear LV shoes and go out in a warm spring day.  I love those loafers.  They are all very elegant.  Marc Jacobs has done nice job.
I had to force myself to go, or I'd keep staring at the shoes.

On the other side of the mall, a beatiful art project was going on.  It was the project by a Korean artist Gyun Hur.  This silk flower rainbow surely will brighten up the mall.  It wan't done when I saw it, but I will come back and see  the completed art work.

Finally, I got my haircut, and this shot was taken right after that.  I was wearing D&G denim/camo jacket, BCBG t-shirt, Levis Type-1 jeans, and Nike Total 90 Shift sneaker. The sunglasses were Dior Punk by Jonh Galliano. 
I really want to thank my hair style for great job she does.  She is the best!!

Look Before You Leap!

By now you know I like to shop at thrift stores.  Sometimes I can find nice thing with reasonalble price.  The downside of thrift shopping is items are not always in pristine condition.

This is a Christian Dior tie I got this afternoon.  As you can see, it's damaged.  I noticed the damage after I'd come home!!  It was very careless of me that I had not checked the condition of the tie.
So, learn from it.  Always check the items before you pay.
Anyways, it's too late now.  The good part is the damage is not noticeable when I wear the tie, and I really like the coloe and design of it.  It took me about an hour, but I fixed the damage.

 Now, it is in wearble condition, and I can enjoy it! 

I tried the tie on a vintage Dior shirt.  Worn with 80s' taxido jacket, GAP pants, vintage Tony Lama western boots, and a Gucci straw hat.
The fixed part is completely hidden, and nobody would see it unless I slip my mouth. 
So, let's keep it secret between me and the readers!!

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!!
