Drafts an #ootd

Goodbye Summer, but what a way to end. School is the perfect routine for me right now. I can't believe this is my final year. I feel like I am more sure of myself then I have ever been. Though no sense of direction, I have a complete sense of accomplishment. I've learned a lot this summer, I grew an enormous amount, as least a couple inches for sure. I've realized friends come and go, there is always a way to make the best of the worst situations, and that nothing in my life will change unless I work for it to happen. No, I can't exactly picture my life, 5 years or 10 years from now, but my goals consist of moving to New York and eventually having a business of my own.
*End of Wednesday night ramble. 

P.S. My outfit is super cute today, the Velvet top was a big hit. I'm talking top of the charts - hah.

Here's what's on repeat as I read a 62 page article oh stylish ethics, gotta love fashion school.

t-minus an #ootd

Counting the last couple days of my work contract, the days till Kate's Birthday, for school to start, for August to end and Fall to begin. Trying to savor the last of the summer nights.
Enjoy these sassy photos of me on a rooftop. I should really just invest in a camera.

New tune I'm digging. This and Frank Ocean (duh). All the Frank Ocean

"It's a crystal ball business" an #ootd

As today's super stressful situation sorted it self out (deadline upon deadline upon deadline) I found a few minutes to take some pictures. Yesterdays late night, and endless staring at my computer screen made me decide it was a good idea to wear my glasses today. 

A few things I learned today in class,

• Don't try to defend your opinions, validate them
• The fashion industry is a crystal ball business
• "Are we or aren't we, and if we are, how?"

Lost at Last an #ootd

Came across some pretty cool pins for my denim jacket at a cute thrift shop downtown. They're by the company Explorer's Press. Its a local company all about customizing and accessorizing your personal items. They have things from pins, to key chains, to patches and couple shirts that I've been eyeing since I bought these pins. Check it out here!

Current obsession: 

If you care to read this, I just noticed that this is my 200th post. Excitement! Thanks for looking and reading xxx

Thrill an #ootd

The thrill is gone - Seth Godin

"Of course it is.

The definition of a thrill is temporary excitement, usually experienced for the first time.

It's thrilling to ride a roller coaster. The fifth time you have to ride it, though, it's more than a chore, it's torture.

The definition of the thrill is that it's going to be gone soon.

You might have been thrilled to go to your first job the first day. Or thrilled to see the first comment on your blog or thrilled the first time one of your books was translated into another language.

But after that? How can repeating it be thrilling?

The work of a professional isn't to recreate thrills. It's to show up and do the work. To continue the journey you set out on a while ago. To make the change you seek to make in the universe.

Thrilling is fine. Mattering is more important."

File Away an #ootd

To say that there's been a lot on my plate is an understatement. 

Wow I've missed blogging. 

Shoutout to Liz <3 for taking these amazing photos! Check out her blog here & her amazing line of swimsuits here!

Three more semesters of this crazy intense program to go, and it might seem like a long time (i'll be producing my final collection this time next year) but it's not and all that's been going though my head has been, what do I want to do after graduation...What do I really want to do with my life.. 

With internship happening right now and my sporadic work schedule, my mind is a mess. Not to mention my desktop is messy with files from 5 different programs and documents that I have yet to back up and file away. Kind of represents my thoughts right now; sub categories upon subjects that need to be filed away, documents with works of progress and misnamed files.

Goals for this weekend: Finish project, clean desktop and file away complaints.
