I realized that as I am getting older, my interests have changed quite a lot. In high school when girls started to wear makeup, I told myself that I will always go natural (even though my skin was freckled with acne!!). That definitely did not stick. Even though I don't wear it as often, the joy of trying and buying different makeup is just to fun :) Here are some easy tips blogger Garance Dore (love her work!) inspired me to try...

Denim Edition
I will be adding by the end of tonight the following 3 clutches for my Denim Edition. I am loving this edition so far because it looks so simple and so classic. I will be adding more within the following week (after I make another trip out to the fabric store), you will definitely be seeing more animal themes:)

Inspirational Tuesday
I missed my "Inspirational Monday" post yesterday (it's been surprisingly busy around the house) so I will go ahead and post several things that I anticipated to post this past weekend!
Here is a link of the video that inspired me from fashion week (and more). I loved this video in particular because of the colors and uniqueness of each of the individuals that they captured.

Weekend Cap
The weekend is finally here! I'm looking forward to some window/actual shopping this weekend and hopefully a short trip to the beach cuz the weather is looking mighty fine!
I'll send you all off this weekend with this cute cap I purchased at H&M last week in SF and this photo from fashion week I came across that reminds me of it.

Denim Clutch
The last time we went down to SoCal, I purchased a few yards of a cotton denim fabric that was on sale. I didn't think much of it until recently I thought how denim is just a classic fabric and denim jeans never goes out of style. It is such a reliable cloth that is worn by many around the world. If we think back to when it was first introduced to the world, it started with Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss in 1873. They patented and invented the use of copper rivets on pockets to make the pants stronger for men who were working. It's amazing how denim has come this far and has such a large influence in fashion today. This, in effect, has inspired me to create several clutches in the denim fabric. Here is a sneak peak of what I will be putting up onto my Etsy store soon and some denim inspirations! Hope you love them as much as I do.
