happy halloween!

wishing you good tricks and treats.

yippee!

i was going to be a bat for halloween (hence the black umbrella i cut up to make 'wings') but instead i bought a ticket to sf. a one way ticket! i leave tonight!!!





okay yea. im coming back on sunday. unfortunate.

halloween cuteness

and delicious looking too.

why

why are lofts so sexy? they'd almost make me wanna live in downtown la.

someone let me borrow a few hundred thousand dollars please. you'd make me very happy.

inspiration

i really enjoyed this luella collection from last spring. it'd make a cute not-a-costume halloween outfit.

back to the sewing room...

this is how we drape a bodice. yeeeep...
i used to really hate sewing and patternmaking, but this class is actually kinda fun. maybe because it signals the imminent approach of GRADUATING. FINALLY. 9 weeks to go...they're going to be the longest 9 weeks of my life.

this weekend

i made a collage this weekend.
also my computer screen is broken again. im in danger of going permanently cross-eyed or seeing permanent horizontal lines from now on, but at the same time i'm hoping it'll fix itself and go back to normal like it did last time.
also my butt really hurts from riding bikes yesterday.

uh huh. thats all.

Finally Friday!

Longest week ever. Rainy days, and now today it's a bright and sunny 90*. Can you believe it? And for a second I thought it might be fall.
At work right now. It's been stressful getting homework squished into the work mix.
I wish I was here:

...wherever it is. Something about living in trees...

Decisions, decisions:

I kinda want!...but what color....
God, something about suede shoes always gets me. Believe it or not, I do own blue suede shoes.

hi dog.

:)

hi BLAHg

why do i feel so BLAH today?
list of reasons that could be possibilities:

1. cloudy weather
2. reviewing (through my previous blog entries) how nice this past summer was and missing it
3. missing people i am close to who aren't around
4. first week of school starts tomorrow
5. working on the worst homework assignment ever assigned in mankind
6. i don't know.
7. need to get more sleep
8. itching to leave LA again?

shrug.
i do know i like making lists though.
ok!
bye bye.

bird cookies

i especially like the little speckled robin egg cookies.

Is this real?

Looks pretty cool.

a brand new week

sooo...school starts on wednesday. the break went by fast, so did the summer. in fact, now it actually feels like fall outside. it's not too cold yet; late afternoon walks with peanut feel just right.
so, what's new? i got an internship at an apparel manufacturer, so i will have a full week of school+work this quarter. the job seems promising; i'll be designing and doing some graphics for a little girl's clothing line. i hope it's not too overwhelming. at times school and homework are barely managable, but now that i have a job i need to be at whenever i'm not at school i am a bit scared at how hectic things will get during midterms and finals time. it's my LAST quarter! 10 more weeks and a year of fashion school will have gone by. can you believe it? i cant.

i leave you with something cute from fred flare...

puppy cupcakes

the only thing i have to look forward to is school starting! that's just sad.

complain complain complain.
