My best friends really know how to go above and beyond to make a girl feel special. All my gifts were wrapped in a beautifully obnoxious green box decorated with pink, purple, and yellow flowers. A perfect gag gift in itself.

I was blessed with some great weather on my birthday: sunny but not unbearable (really not looking forward to this summer’s blistering 90+ degree weather. Noooooo thanks.). Kelly and I quickly took advantage of the situation and snapped up a couple exterior shots of The Getty as well as a few portraits of each other. But I don’t know. I don’t feel very natural in front of a camera; hence the stiff/awkward smile. But I thought I’d make an small appearance on my blog—since I’m usually the one behind the camera.

Despite walking into the bike rental store thinking “I got this!”, it turns out I am horribly rusty at this biking game—it could be that the bike handles were too far apart from what I’m used to or that my feet just barely reached the pedals—either way, the whole experience was rather embarrassing. Not to say it wasn’t fun though. I think today was my favorite day since we’ve been here! The original plan was to walk Stanley Park, but after finding out how large the park actually was (8.8 km or 5.5 miles), I then came up with the new plan: bikes!

Done and done!
I sewed a fold over clutch for a friend. We browsed the fabric store last week together and she chose this basket weave textured piece. It was lovely to work with and the finished product looks pretty great (It actually folds more naturally than my own fold over). I gave it to her last night and I was pretty happy when she used it straight away.
There was also some leftovers, so I used the rest to make myself a flat clutch.
100% hand sewn. Again and always inspired by Ms. Vivier.
Yes! New speck case came in! I’ve been getting quite sick of my old purple/white case. While it has served me loyally for the past 2 years—I drop my phone..a lot—its time for it to retire and make way for my new cool grey/white case

Some sketch pages from several weeks ago.

I dragged Kelly all around Tokyo trying to find these. Finally found them at Roppongi Hills. I originally wanted the larger neon ipad case/clutch, but they were completely sold out so I picked up two wallet sized ones. The vinyl has natural adhesive properties so theres no need for any buttons, studs, or zippers. Clean and simple.
Finally used it yesterday and loved it!

The other day I came across a DIY transparent clutch. I thought it looked like such a fun and simple project so I attempted to make my own. I stopped by the container store yesterday afternoon to pick up some materials. Personally the 9 1/2” x 6 1/2” lucite tray seemed a little big making it too clumsy and heavy to carry so I opted for the smaller 7” x 5” hinged box instead.
Special thanks to Mr Martinez for helping me since I didn’t have all the tools available.
