On my way to Japan!!


Yay!! The last time I was there was in November and only for 3 days. So I'm excited to explore more of japan this time!
Thinking of renting a car and driving down to Kawagochiko. The last time I was there with family was when I first moved to japan. That was 16 years ago!!!!!! Geez I feel old! Hehe
Just sitting hear waiting to board my flight.
Can't wait

Nail Class



Its been a very slow sunday for me and its just purrrfect! I have had a very crazy week. It felt like it was non-stop!!
Been working, shipping out our new FJ scarves! Super cute by the way!!!
and Also I have been helping out my friends nail salon, Marie Nails in Weho. I have become really good friends with the owner and try to help her when I can. Its been a lot of fun!
It has also inspired me to start taking nail class'es!! Watching the girls create these wonderful little creations on peoples finger tips got me wanting to do it to! So, i have been taking classes 2~3 times a week.
So far I have completed the basic manicure class and am on to the CalGel class! So much fun!
You better watch out! I might just have to open up my own nail salon!!!!

Engagement Announcement!


Hello Everyone, hope you are all well. I just felt like I needed to make an announcement. I know I dont talk about my personal life so much and felt like it was the time to tell everyone that Iam engaged to the most wonderful man and am in the most happiest place right now!

We have been engaged for over a year now. He purposed to me exactly a year ago right before our trip to Japan.
I was able to tell my brother , and he was genuinely happy for me.
Didnt feel it was right to say anything about the engagement last year, so we waited a year and recently we finally set a date for the wedding and finally have things rolling along!!Very exciting stuff!

My future husband to be is the sweetest, funniest most handsome man , inside and out.
Iam very excited to start a new life with him.
(the picture was taken last year right after he purposed .... we are both teary eyed! hehe)
I wont go that much into details....hehe
Thank you for all of you being supporting and understanding . You are all the best!

OH NO~ I cant stop!

Awesome photo's from Jan Von Holleben!!
Nothing stops Jan Von Holleben from creating the shot he wants, not budget, not locations, and not gravity. We love his youthful spirit, and that he uses his imagination to create fantastic frozen images of flight from some supplies from the garage, a few neighborhood children, and the end of the street, or the backyard. Jan Von Holleben awakes Creative Tempest’s sleeping inner child, now hungry for an Ego waffle breakfast.

Just finished watching...


Alice by Jan Svankmajer a Stop -Motion animation movie. There wasnt any talking really, but that didnt matter. You cant keep your eyes of the screen. Something so mysterious made you watch the movie all the way thru.
There were some cute things he did in there that reminded me of things that UnderCover did like 6 years ago for one of their collections. ( I remember it being one of my favorites)

Going back to some roots




Was online looking at Honyee.comIts a website for the cool artists /models/creators of Japanese Hip Culture. A lot of my friends are on, so I check every now and then.And I had heard about Nigo (also a friend) about stepping down from being president, so I went on his blog to read more about it and started reading others and was remembering all the people that influenced me when I was in japan. When I was 18, the people I had met who had inspired me to be more creative. All these memories had come back, and just wanted to share just a small part of it....
http://hajimesorayama.com/
I had first seen his art at at the opening of Bape Cafe in Aoyama. He had this huge drawing right when you go down the steps to the cafe (cafe isnt not there anymore) but I thought, WOW! Someone drew that!!!!Its sooo cooool!
And fell in love with the erotic, yet futuristic vision of women. It makes you feel like you dont want to stare to long, but you kinda do ... ??

Then there is Keniichi Tanami. I keep forgetting to buy his book when I go to Japan, maybe this time for sure.
But I just love his vivid colors. A little Murakami'isk type os style...BUT Tanami was here before any of this Murakami stuff was out.
I like it.

Iam doing it you guys!

I have started twitter! Follow my tweets!
