Oh, which bag?

I'd like to get a vintage leather carry-on bag. Don't tell me husband - he thinks I have too many bags already >_< Oops! But I don't have any leather bags and I think it would be super handy and awesome :-) Annnd one of the Style School projects is to take something vintage and remake it as your own, sooo....

Help me choose?
I've narrowed it down to a few...

 

I've always wanted a bowling bag!!

So many beauties to choose from....Which do you like best?

You Amaze Me: Japanese Street Style

I love Japanese Street Style. I own Fruits and Fresh Fruits by Shoichi Aoki, which are photo books of the fashion (and I highly recommend them!). I just flip through those books and get the urge to create. I love the colors and the layers...I love the confidence with which they wear their clothes! I think most of all what I love is how happy it is ^_^

 How cute is she?? I'm in love with her glasses!

 Check out the socks!

I'm not big into pink, but I want that bag.

Apparently you can rock overalls.

I want her hair AND her dress.

Rainbow Collections

Don't you love rainbows?

Here are some rainbow collections from around my apartment :)

 

 

Ah, color coding...it makes me happy ^_^

Chasing Rainbows

As I left work today, the sun broke through the clouds. And that meant I got to chase rainbows the whole way home :)

There were single rainbows, double rainbows, and rainbows stretching completely from earth to earth. I didn't catch any, but the sun shining through the rain was beautiful, and it's always worth the chase!

Custome Valentine Huggle

This weekend I finished my first custom Huggle order! I had a lot of fun with it :D HappyBuddha, who makes adorable bags, ordered it for her daughter. I really hope she loves it!

I made little hearts on the cheeks and used purple yarn for the eyes so there are no chewable parts. Isn't she cute and lovable?! You can always order one, too! I just really love making special orders ;D

Stamp Making

I thought I'd let you see the rest of my stamps :) Though I will be making more eventually, I'm sure.

I had a =duh= moment. I was trying to think of stamps to make that would be really me/my style. And then I remembered about my "Things I Love" drawing! =DUH= :P It helped me think of some ideas for stamps.

And there we have it, things I love ^_^

I've wanted to try my hand at stamp making for a while now, but I had too many other things going on (not to mention I was too cheap to go out and buy the tools).  This class is really making me do a few things: (a) actually spend the money to (b) try things I'd been wanting to do anyway, (c) thinking about my own style as I (d) finish them. It's really wonderful. The other Style School students are so motivational and supportive! It's a gift to have met them[/you] and be in contact throughout the projects (and hopefully afterward!) :-)
