my focus during the month of march is to showcase undiscovered shops!
so here goes :)
chin-lu just opened up shop! her beautiful and colorful hair accessories have the ability to fancy up any outfit! my favorite thing about chin-lu's shop is that she names all of her pieces after important and inspirational people in her life!
Tell us about yourself Chin-Lu! :)
I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, an auntie, a friend
I am a graduate student…
I am a truth seeker...
I am a scuba diver.
I am a tea drinker…
I am artsy.
I am Bohemian Chic.
I am interested in people and their lives.
I love to laugh and smile all the time...
I am addicted to make up and hair products...
I am full of passion for life...
I am a free bird: I love to dream, create, and inspire.
Most importantly, I am a creation of the original creator...My reflection is found in Him.
Ever since I was six, I loved to express myself creatively--classical violin, piano, art, dance, acting--basically any right-brained activity I could get my hands on made me the happiest. I was looking for the perfect hair accessory to go with my bridesmaid dress for my best friend's wedding and couldn't find what I was looking for, so I was inspired to make my vision come to life. I had so much fun making it and received so many compliments that I decided to make more!
Where do you go for inspiration (in general and for crafting)?
In general, the people in my life inspire me. Most of my friends are fashionistas and I will see colors, patterns, and accessories on them that make my mind start spinning with ideas. Many of my designs are also influenced by vintage fashion, and the design of my feather fascinators originate from the styles of 1920's flappers. This might sound dorky but I also love going into fabric/craft stores. I can stay in there for hours on end staring at different items and spontaneously coming up with new designs.
On Etsy, I am so inspired by : nattyboho, accentcreations, leftylouvintage, LovMely, and SamanthaSultana.
