The Old Tuesday!

Adorable designer and very adorable model.
(size zero just won't do these clothes right.)


Hanging just in front of the chest with a round-collar vintage shirt
under will just be dreamy and fun.



This is actually perfect for any girls who bring their cosmetics out or crafters to hold their tools.


Perfect for bad hair days.

Stealing Monday: "Retrofuturs"

"Retrofuturs": mix the past, the present, the future and shake it! "Retrofuturs": mélanger le passé, le présent, l'avenir et secouer !

Leather Work I: Hand Stitched Leather Tote

The very first bag I made out of Leather together with Jude:)


A small tote stitched with waxed white thread that goes along the borders, in a j'adorable proportion.
Took two days to assemble the parts all together, but indeed already a reasonable time for the first project:)

Refined touches in Leather Products

Having recently been drawn into hand-stitched leather goods, I realized that a single different steps or treatment and the proportion of the design can results in very lovely or trashy products. And here are some details of the former:)

I like how the leather is sew normally on one side and flipped to sew onto another piece on the other side, very subtle but good design.

This extra line sewed on with no purpose of function has just styled up the tote with its just-right proportion.

Again, very nice decorative lines for the two sides.

Usually, studs are not my cup of tea, but these tiny ones at the corners are indeed pretty nice.



The above detailed leather products are all from WhiteSycamore, a American shop selling luxury and high quality hand-craft leather products. I especially love their totes because of the really good Silhouette and the adorable 60s flair.
