So I am running around to all the Kraftika shops last night, hoping there’s something new because I love, love, love their jewelry. Sadly, there wasn’t anything new. However, one of the shops happened to be upstairs in the Xtreme Relooking shop where the owner, Myriam Republic was there. She kindly showed me where the store was and we got to talking. Myriam and her partner make custom shapes and skins and darn it anyway, if I didn’t end up walking out of there with this skin with a custom makeup she made while I waited. All I can say is that I am thrilled with it.

I decided to show it off with a swimsuit and pulled out this one – a freebie – from Schrottvogel Wei, a former boyfriend, a sweetheart and the owner of SJA Shops on Chi, Sunset Bay, Heidiland, La Reina and Majini. The bikini and matching rashguards are free in blue – with the SJA logo- and for sale in other colors with different designs. His specialty is making custom surfboards, so I could not resist showing off the wonderful board he designed for me as a gift. To tell you what a sweetheart he is, he finished it after we broke up. There are more photos on my Flickr page, but this one shows the tremendous attention to detail in these suits with wonderful shadows along the bikini bottom and the ribbon tie. 

I accessorized it with the colorful Candy Necklace from Aya V and the Bamboomerang Earrings from Kimberly Casanova and lovely prussian blue sandals from Jaywalk.
