My Handmade Japanese Washi Paper Box

I handmade a Japanese craft paper box not long ago. It's made from Japanese Washi 和紙. There are several types of these for different uses, but they are often used to bind books, make boxes and other handmade crafts such as origami. Washi is charactistically flexible, almost like cloth, which makes it a beautiful material to work with.

It's difficult to see in the photos, but the pattern on my washi boxes has gold and metallic shimmer on it and is reminiscent of the gold thread on kimono silks.

I've used this box as a scent box, and have placed sandalwood balls inside that have been lightly soaked in lavendar oil to fill my bedroom with a light, calming fragrance. I'm not so interested in burning incense, so I thought I'll find my own way of diffusing fragrance in my room (*^^*)

Perhaps it'll invoke sweet dreams ❤

Kenzo x Vans Authentic: ‘Stripes’ Pack

Kenzo is known for being one of those brands that blends classic themes together in ways that have never been seen before, and here is one of those occasions. No, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen stripes on a Van Authentic by far, but the way in which it is put together make these stand out. While these won’t go down as one of the greatest Vans collaborations, they do stand as very solid shoes for our summer when they drop in August.

WIP @ Two Percent: Spring Summer 2012 Lookbook [Hong Kong Fashion]

WIP has a brand concept which is all about being innovative, modern and unisex. It is part of a fashion group I particularly like called 2% Two Percent. What I love about WIP is its strong lines and contrasting draping soft layers combining a contemporary unisex look which is very much suited to my style and personality. For me, it's very easy to wear and comfortable but at the same time giving you that bold edgy look that stands out.

Here is a preview of the Spring 2013 Jeremy Scott x Adidas Originals JS Wings, featuring a holographic material to help you stand out even more. This winged shoe also has blue leather lining and laces on top of a blue mid and out sole. These will be most likely hitting adidas Originals retailers in the early part of next year.

With Jeremy Scott never afraid to out do himself, here he has done it again taking his furry footwear creations to the next level with a Pink Poodle. This shoe long bright pink hair with shorter light pink fur on top of a pink mid and out sole and to take this shoe one step further the poodle is sporting a pair of white winged sunglasses. Look to find these and the Adidas Original JS Teddy Bear "Camo" in adidas Originals retailers late this year or early next year.
