Where the Wild Things Are (and Other Wild Things)

So this past weekend I went with my boyfriend and a couple friends to go see Where the Wild Things Are. However regardless of the mixed reviews I loved it and was blown away by the sheer beauty of the thing. So I decided to do some research on the creators of the larger than life, fantastical monster costumes, turns out it was all made by Jim Henson company (think muppets) which when you sat back made a lot of sense. But what I was more intrigued with was the link i found (see third picture down) of the designer for Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's (also the person who did all the music for the movie) who on her own created a more modern take on the monster costumes, if say they were to all go to a rave :]  if you want to see more pictures go too http://blog.urbanoutfitters.com/features/wtwta_christian_joy

The magnificent and always fashionable Karen O

A take on Max

Katie and Bowie (separated at birth?)

Here's a better picture 

Oh! I've been Forgetting Titles

 The sweater is from gap, I made the boyfriend jeans and also bleached and distressed the denim, the shoes are Steve Madden i assume knock offs of the Balenciaga shoes made famous by beyonce' 
The day after christmas also the day after i received my Nikon D40. The vest I created out of a chestnut suede I bought from Mood in NYC which was probably outrageously priced but the guy i normally go to didn't have the color i wanted :/(the back) and mongolian sheep fur trim i bought from M&J trimming in NYC.

Good Vintage Is Hard To Find

vintage dress circa the 1950's? its a saks fifth, which i shortened some kind of brocade i like it :]

I'm sorry for the terrible quality of the pictures all of these were taken before the days of my nikon d 40 ^-^ these were all from my jr high days I hope you enjoy. The top is a blue knit with gold chain and the dress which i don't know if you can tell has roses embroidered all over them.  

the tunic i made out of this lovely dyed wool :] very itchy though haha i wore it to the poconos... i think thats how you spell it lol very warm :] and the purple get up is on my lovely model and best friend i made that a couple years back maybe three? 

So this is when i first started out sewing so you will have to forgive the verrrryyy old picture and the semi-weird pose, I made this dress for a middle school dance..... seems like eonsss ago haha any ways i believe its silk taffeta i i remember correctly with silk satin ribbon :]

So i've been extremely busy and thought well OF COURSE I'LL HAVE TIME TO TAKE PICTURES OF MY OUTFITS EVERYDAY......... yeah that's not happening - _ -' soooo i thought welll i'll post older pictures of my outfits/creations and see what people think haha so enjoy :]

Oi the birth of a blogger

ADVERTISE ADVERTISE! makes me feel cheap... plus the amazing amount of lazyness that a small asian girl can hold is......

(as i write this i am currently putting off an essay and house work - _ - ' ) I have created....
