Target Dreaming

Everyone has that one store that you could go in to grab bread, and leave with too many unplanned, but wonderful, purchases. I'm sure I am not the only one who gets drawn in to the colorful and creative world of Target! I especially adore all of the holiday items they get in seasonally- how spot-on are all of these Easter decorations?

Simple, but feminine. My habit of purchasing items for my "future home" is getting a little out of hand, but if any of the little guys go on sale I can see them waltzing into my shopping cart and home with me.

1. Lattice Porcelain Bowl, $16.99

2. Wilco Whisk, $5.99 & Wilco Spatula, $5.99

3. Cake Stand, $12.99

4. Tumblers, available in-store

Modern Marie

My senior collection, entitled Modern Marie, is meant to take you away to a world where macarons are eaten for breakfast and champagne is a color. I wanted to creating clothes that would be worm by a woman when she wants to be feminine, flirty but still seductive. I honestly had the most amazing team working with me including my models, my mom and Jenna, my hair stylist. There is much, much more to come, but here's a few teaser photos!

All of my beautiful ladies, including my little seester second to the right!

We couldn't help but throw a little Chio into the day :)

Back In The Game

I'm laying in bed, watching Gilmore Girls (season 2- the best) and eating shrimp & pasta... and I can't help but think "Is this really my life post-fashion show?" The biggest thing in my life, my entire to-do list every day, the source of all my creativity and effort is... over? What am I going TO DO WITH MY LIFE?!

I'll be the first to admit I needed a few days of sleep and hanging out with the frands, but I don't know if I can go back to a life of unproductivity. I mean, yeah, I guess I have other classes, and there's that whole job search thing I should be working on, but I need to give myself another outlet of creativity which is why I am going to start writing here again!

I have oodles of fabric left and 5 week with access to these kick-ass sewing labs, so stay tuned for my projects coming at you!
