Meooowzzaa

Lets see here...

1. Spring break cannot come sooner, all I want to right now is to see my family, cats and be at home. 

2. Time to be creative has escaped and cannot find its way back into my planner

3. Thrift shopping. I miss thrift shopping.

4. I really should be studying for my Econ midterm and writing my Spanish essay right now. 

5. My apartment is really cold and I currently am snuggled up in my electric blanket. Power bills can suck it. 

6. Can you please go grocery shopping and take my garbage out? Thanks. 

7. Look at that striped dress, I'm dying over it.

8. I'd like to wear that vest, a pretty hat with a bow whilst frolicking around in a field of wildflowers, holding a wicker basket with picnic food in it.

That is all.

Wildflowers- Tom Petty

Show 'em you the fliest

If you recognize the lyrics and know what song my title is from. I love you. And if you don't. FIGURE it OUT. Because the sassy woman who sings it is probably one of your idols too. I regularly have dance parties in my room to her songs. You probably do too.....?

SO! School is taking over. The Recycle fashion show was a success and I will be posting photos soon. I am now working on the OSU Mom's weekend fashion show which I am stoked for, its gonna be good!!

These are the same Lucky shoes that I was wearing in my last post, I'm  a fan of laces so I threw some on. This pretty lacy cardigan is from Lucky as well.  I have really been loving layering with this chambray top, so I paired it with the cardigan and leggings for my casual homework filled Sunday. 

Study Break!... Lets go dance...

Beyoncé ALL THE WAY.

Hello my lovelies! Week 5 has ended which means Winter term is half way over! WAHHH? Where is time going? Although it is the perfect week for me to have acquired this nasty cold that makes me feel like a 7 year old with the amount of snot running from my nose. Attractive right? If this cold doesn't get me a boyfriend, these pants will! My new hot-pants. As my best friend/photographer Rachel said to me as she took the last photo, "You look skinny and sexy." New favorite complement. Definitely a keeper.... Oh I failed to mention the reason why it is the perfect week to get sick; because I get to stay in and watch all the New York Fashion Week shows! DUH. If you didn't already guess. 

I am wearing: LuckyBrand bracelets, ring, shoes and pants. Old navy (self altered) oxford, scarf from Yesstyle.com. Dooney & Bourke purse.

About the pants, let me begin by saying when the colored pants trend first arose when I was a junior in high school, I believe that was 2009? I loved the look. I bought purple forever 21 skinnies and wore them.... twice. Not cute. I had no idea how to style them. Well, it has been a few years and have since accumulated a much better grasp on how to style these bad boys. My best friend Alex would be proud. 

Pair brights with neutrals. The key is to mix the right amount of warm and cool tones. These pants are from Lucky Brand Jeans, a skinny capri style, which is my favorite out of any other style jeans. They are somewhat of a brick red warm tone which means that pairing them with warmer cream whites and browns will go best. My effort was to make them the focal point of the look and also quiet them down a little bit. So I paired them with these creme and tawny colored oxfords, creme white button up, my D&B purse, and brown knit scarf.

Food for thought- red and black is so out of trend, and is too sharp of a contrast. Black would go great with a warm mossy green color pant instead. Which is a color I would like to add more of to my closet. My nails are currently that color "Spanish Moss" by Revlon. Definitely my new favorite nail color.

If you are here in Corvallis you should come watch the Recycle Fashion Show where I will be popping and locking it down the runway. Just kidding my body doesn't do that. Thursday the 16th at 7 p.m.!

Finalmente!

I got new running shoes. My legs were desperately asking for them. Haha that has nothing to do with the collage... but the connection is that it has been so incredibly gorgeous here in Corvallis and I went for too long of a run. Let me brag a little... 9  miles. Yes I did. Supposedly we are supposed to have 6 more weeks of winter or something like that, but as far as my meteorology knowledge goes (which is actually more extensive than you might think), the groundhog was very wrong. Which is great because now I can blind people with my white legs! 

Here is some good music. Listen.

Take It Easy

As a student, I consider myself lucky to one-have the opportunity to still be a student. Two- the ability and drive to be studying what I want to study. And three- have a job. A job that I actually really enjoy and don't hate going to on a daily basis. Yes, there are days when I would rather be doing something else, but the fact that my job is to make costumes is pretty awesome. And sometimes I get little helpers!

Other random bits and bobs

I need to...

1. Dance like I just don't care...

2. Find out who THAT guy is...

3. Start drinking decaffeinated tea

4. I'm thinking about wearing more head/face accessories these days...

5. Be FIERCE like my cat.

Inspiration..

Pretty picture post! I have a tumblr filled with inspiration and I post daily. I'm obsessed. If you look at my tumblr there is a really good chance you will see exactly what's on my mind. I have nit picked it to perfection and I wish I had a wall in my house full of all the images I have on there. Too bad printing costs so much. One day.... Except not with this digital world, it will become more of a slideshow of some sort on a digitally enhanced wall. 

Mmkk, time to continue on with my sunny Saturday.

The things we do..

..that make us happy. 

These might look familiar to you because I have posted them on here before. They are my red dresses that I made for this years World AIDS Day benefit fashion show. This year I had the lovely experience of directing the fashion show portion of it and it was awesome. I had never been the director of a show before, it was very fun. Definitely looking forward to having a show of my own in the future. I was also the MC for this years show, public speaking was always questionable for me, but now I am over that hump!

My self centered self loves to be in charge, and event planning definitely is a fun area to be in charge of. But the feeling that I get when I see my garments walking down the runway, all eyes on the models strutting it to the beat of the music, and camera' flashes lighting the room makes my heart race. I am proud to say that I know what makes me happy and that I am perusing it. I can't imagine myself doing anything else.
