Window Shopping

Kyle and Kelly are coming TOMORROW! I'm so happy they're going to come, it's going to be a BLAST!

This summer I'm going on a two week trip to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam with Marilia. Hope to get some nice fabric, and little boxes, and jewelry. I can't wait for the beaches in Thailand, Ankor Wat, the food in Vietnam, everything!

It's summer break and bery bery hot. I've be able to get some stuff done. Waking up early and getting full days. Doing the things I couldn't find the time to do when school was in session. I painted my room (white and yellow), and made some curtains. Cleaned, organized, etc.

It's over already, but from the end of June and through July, pretty much all the stores in Japan are on sale. 'Final Clearance' 'Last Off' '70-30% off' The department stores are as crowded as the train stations during rush hour. I went around to the thrift stores that are also on sale. Got some red summer sandals.

I walked by the window display at the department store Isetan, in Shinjuku, and it was such a disappointment. I'm spoiled (in more ways than one, I know) by the windows at Barney's, or Bergdorf's and Sax. The mannequins were all dressed in black, for fall, and I guess the theme was 'white backdrop portraiture-blegh.' These big windows were practically empty, with only the shadow of the mannequins in the backdrop. One of the biggest department stores in Japan... and at one of their main stores... I just hope they change it soon.





Currently trying to make an over-sized striped shirt I bought for 550yen into a vest. I really want a vest.
