Fraliganting.

The last two weeks I went to LA to visit FIDM and to Savannah, Georgia to visit SCAD. I took classes at both places to get a feel for what going to school there would be like. I met so many ah-mazing people and truly grew as an artist. I can not wait for college!

THE BEST ROOMMATE EVERRRR<3 href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ZF6O46iQ5sEWqzqZ9TkvcIbbOqNadrMoZ7y4IPyy3s5cnT2L9EeTMC51Mo5wGwcc6HiyRc_8nhXZDshtXG_iYOV4NoIRCwNffU_OBACm33ZdFUJUb1MKEEUVeOQpwDfVRhDw3gkl89M/s1600/DSC_0486.JPG"> The two of us had too too too much fun pulling all nighters just to talk ,and setting the fire alarm off, and wearing anti-wrinkle cream, and drowning spiders and then giving them a proper burial service, and climbing up 39483 flights of stairs to strengthen our thighs (ha!), and getting in trouble every night for not being in our dorm on time. Good times.

During this rainy week I decided to make a skirt for my non-existent portfolio.

The Little Pink Book:

This is where I keep all my sketches and magazine clippings. I've had it for two weeks and its already overflowing! Notice the drafting paper in the back ground... Yep that's right. I drafted the pattern from scratch. It was a good one time thing but I'm crossing pattern maker off the list of possible careers!

Some flats...

Drafting paper (in pink, of course!), pattern pieces, my new french curve, all laid out on my fancy-smancy sewing table. Aka- my bed.

The finished product.

360 pleating,3 inch waistband, bubble hem.

The material was a satin with a silk weave so it created this natural stripe, which was a beautiful burden. Beautiful because it gave the fabric texture without it being a statement. But a burden because it allowed no room for mistakes. Any cut that was EXACTLY on the grain threw off the whole look of the garment- well at least in my eyes.

Worn with a vintage top form Civvies, Ziggy Soho booties, and Estee Lauder Opulent Red Lipcolor.

Little White Lies:Greece Trip

I just got back from a vacation to Greece with some of my friends, here's some pictures we took against the beautiful architecture!

The theme for this photoshoot(just in what I'm wearing) was nudes. Nudes and multiple shades of white is a a trend that appeared on the runways in Spring 2010 collections, such as Channel's. Its a good way to show off good tailoring or a good tan.

The weather was kind of dreary.

Awe its our little photographer:)

My favorite...

Ow ow!!

Three Birds of a feather...

"Door!"

Miss you Em

New Logos!

Thanks to the lovely & fabulous Ryan Schonhoff.

FEARLESS: Explicit Version

Not all photos are about glamorous clothing, flawless make-up and hard-core hair. Sometimes easy does it. Simplicity can bring out the beauty in things. When you have a brightly colored, well made garment, the quality of the garment gets overpowered by the vibrant color. The last two seasons nudes have been creeping their way into the runways. The lack of color lets the true beauty of the garment shine. So, in this shoot with Em (and my other two best friends) I tried to demonstrate this trend of simplicity=quality by taking all the glamor and glitz out of the photos to let the elements of the photograph- like the lighting and the pose- shine through. Its all about working with statement pieces. Cough cough like a hat, I don't know? I let my hair dry, wore no make-up, and modeled the simplest black dress I own. And-worst of all- NO HEELS! Talk about brave.
I don't even look at my own face this close... but its a good example of how to work the elements of the photograph (Brilliant Emma noticed that the gaps in the star of my hat gave me light freckles. What a genius!) so i gathered all my courage and posted it.

My lovely friends observing

We met two little boys fishing on the doc and told them we were professional models and insisted they get their picture taken with us.

Her face! Hahah


What good sports!

Next modeling here we come!

We love you Karlie Kloss.

All photos were UNEDITED and uncropped. Thanks to the brilliant work of EMMA BANKS and the natural beauty of my dear friends.

Let your light shine.
