Welcome to our humble flat. I didn't get a chance to take a shot in my new oversized Sparks shirt before the sun started setting so I thought I'd take today's outfit of the day shot in my London diggs to give you an idea of where I'm living. I picked up the oversized shirt yesterday at a select shop called 'Behave' near Brick Lane in East London - they were having a sale and it was only 20 pounds so I bought a 10 pound pair of plaid Cheap Monday swimming trunks as well.  Holla.


I wore it with my tiny gold hamburger necklace (thanks B!) and a pair of vintage Levi's that I cut off into shorts then dipped halfway in bleach to give a gradient sort of look. The leather house slippers are from Jaisalmer, India aka the Golden City. A 12 year old boy and his father owned a shop there filled entirely of goods handcrafted from camel leather. I bought these, a satchel and two foot stools for really cheap when I was there in 2006 to go on a camel safari with a few friends. I wear the slippers at home every day.

Oh ps. that lump of grey fluff I'm holding is Terrence, our roommates cat. Nothing but swagger that boy.


Here are a few shots of some of mine & Burger's jewelry and some of my favorite things from around the flat.  You can notice some of Burger's brilliant hat creations hidden all over the house.

Wow, this is my 30th 'chadchad of the day'! I'm having so much fun doing these & am excited about continuing them in the future. It might be a challenge to make it happen while on hiatus in Canada for a month since I'll have a limited wardrobe & there's like 2 feet of snow, but perhaps that will just challenge me to thrift better & be more creative with my outfits. Maybe I'll even do a mini version with my kid brother & sister!

Anyway, for today's outfit I wanted to feature one of the denim jackets I reformed using bleach & mesh. I made about 6 similar ones, some substituting lace instead of mesh, to sell at the flea market at Bar Exit this afternoon.

This is how I found the jacket while thrifting at Dongmyo market which cost W5,000 ($5US). First I ripped sections out of the jacket, two on the upper front and two panels on the back sides, and left the frayed edges.

Then I soaked the jacket in a bleach water mixture, rinsed it in a water bath & washed it in the washing machine. Be careful if you try to do this, those bleach fumes are hella toxic. I wore swimming goggles, a face mask & rubber gloves when in the bathroom and I still felt a bit woozy. Also make sure the room you do it in can be ventilated well with an open window.

Finally I added mesh panels using my roommates sewing machine. I am way happy with the result. It looks great worn with bright colors as well because you can see the color through the mesh. I also want to be a little scandalous one day & try it out with nothing underneath to show my skin.

The tee shirt was handprinted especially for me by a brand called Proudrace in Manilla. Click HERE to see the blog I wrote about them.  I picked up the Cheap Monday fingernail necklace at a shop called Flow on Garosugil / 가로수길 after sporting it in a fashion challenge on an episode of 'Style Magazine' for OnStyle with my friends Cory, Coco & David.  Click HERE for that post.
