Hair inspiration

January 21, 2010 By Chie

I’ve been dying to change my hair style for a while – I’m prohibited to make bangs because my husband hates bangs, but I’m thinking maybe to highlight my hair a bit.
The inspiration comes from Natalie Off Duty, and I just think her hair looks perfect!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine went way too quick. I wish I got more stuff done, I have small but annoying stuff to take care of, such as filing taxes, making phone calls to banks and what not, booking plain ticket, adding miles to my millage card, making photo copies etc. I really have to put myself together to finish these this week.

Instead of working on these stuff, I ended up spending too much time on reading Keigo Higashino’s books, playing with my cousin’s three-year-old son at a park, drinking bloody Mary with too much solt in it, and watching “Vicky, Christina, Barcelona”.

I also have about 10 clothes that I made over last two weeks, but never got around to post on blog. I will be posting more projects this week..

Etsy seller meet up: Little K’reation

January 16, 2010 By Chie

Last night, Kayo from Little K’reation and I had a dinner + coffee date in Shibuya. Kayo had contacted me through etsy, and we both were surprised by many coincidences:
We live 10 minutes away,
Kayo goes to the hair salon that My cousin owns,
We both have an etsy shop,
We both have American husband… etc.

This was the first time that I met someone that I knew through the internet in person, and to be honest, I was a bit nervous before the meeting, but we hit it off so quickly!

We went to Thai restaurant for dinner – I can’t believe this small Thai restaurant in the madness of Shibuya is still in business. Feels like it’s been there forever –

Then we went for a hot cocoa and coffee afterward to share some tips on etsy business stuff. Check out her shop full of knit wears and unique necklaces! My favorite is her snowflake ear muffs!
