walls are cool

The workload at school is crazy, I have backpains from leaning over the desk for hours everyday drawing patterns, cutting etc (but i love it).

Quick post: there's this wall near my grandparents house that I love to look at... I took these photos last time i visited, a few months ago. Soon they're going to be rebuilding this street which means in a couple more years all of this will be gone. So sad.









I'm not even sure what this place is.. There's definitely a house at the back and the signboard says "clothes" but I dont think I've ever seen anything being sold here???




Even the sidewalk here is lined with pink, cute huh?

BIG BLUR

I started going to fashion school.
I go to Bunka Fashion College in shinjuku, maybe some of you have heard of it before?
It's only been a week but already I am terrified and ecstatic, being allowed to think about fashion 24/7 just seems too good to be true.
I have all these ideas floating around in my head and so many things that I want to learn more about. It's crazy.

I know I don't post very often but Im glad I have this blog (and soo many others' that I love to read) because writing and reading this stuff really helps me understand and sharpen my style.
I probably wont be able to post much for a few weeks but I just wanted to let you know that I am surrounding myself with fashion everyday now and I am happy!

My head feels like Miyuki Tsugami's landscape paintings









Colors are wonderful... Most of her images are locked and I'm not allowed to post them, so please look at them here

bang bang you hit the ground

ah there's so much stuff i wanna blog about right now, i dont know where to begin... for starters i came across the cutest book at the hair salon yesterday, Ruben Toledo's Style Dictionary. i was so obsessed with it i didn't let go of it the entire halfhour we were letting the hair dye soak in! i think ive seen toledo's work here and there, not all of it is my cup of tea but i just looooooooove his illustrations in this book, i love the faces and the wide variety of body shapes, the random/funny style labels, and how every look is so realistic, so well thought out and so complete, head to toe. (one of the stylists at the salon even mentioned that she drew inspiration from a lot of the hairstyles pictured in this book)




unfortunately i cant find any good images from the book to show you... if i manage to buy one anytime soon ill definitely upload photos.

i went to the hair salon that produces one of my favorite hair design magazines called +ING, but more on that later...
i got my bangs cut super short and i got red hair. sides are still shaved but i think ill start growing it out soon

yay for raver ball chain necklaces with tight tees!

Did you know John Lurie paints now? ive already written about lurie a few times in this blog, I love him in the Jarmusch movies, he's so poker-faced and chilled out and weird and sexy. I wasn't too familiar with his music (I did like that scene in permanent vacation where he plays the sax on the street) but I looked up some of his music too and I'm hooked
"Follow the signs"

"When I die, I want to go like my grandfather, asleep and at peace. Not like the people screaming in the other car"

"Your life is meaningless, why don't you masturbate?"
