First Set

Here are my first 3 entries for the 30 day challenge!
Day 1- (5.28) Draw Yourself! -continuous line in graphite (ps continuous line drawings are some of my fav drawings I have done. You do them while not lifting up your pen/pencil/whatev and not looking at the paper. I sat in front of the mirror and did this one!)
Day 2- (5.29) Favorite Animal! Also in graphite. As if there was any doubt to what I would draw.. I only have 3 tattooed on me =) Day 3- (5.30) Favorite Food. Graphite. I was a big fatty yesterday and couldnt just pick ONE thing to draw... so I picked a couple of my favorites. I was going to continue drawing delish foods but I got tired (and hungry) so I had to stop before I went and devoured my kitchen.

Today is Favorite Place! I haven't drawn it yet because..again..I cant decide what I should draw! Will post them later =)

Sunny Cold Day

Quick outfit post!

It is cold 98% of the time here in SF so I was excited today when I didn't have to wear a coat. It is still cold but it was sunny and not windy! Dont get me wrong I love coats but some outfits are just better without one!

MIA boots, leg warmers from Picnic, H&M leggings, sweater from Target, vintage rabbit fur vest I found in AR, McQueen catacombs scarf, Alexander Wang bag, Lanvin glasses.

FUR

my favorite shot

So last quarter I was co director of the fashion show that we put on for the Arts of FashionFoundation. To see a video of the entire show go here and backstage video go here!

I also took a master class the weekend before the show where we had to create a piece out of faux fur and faux leather. We had to create a piece in the way you would create an accessory rather than a coat. So there is minor sewing on my piece, (not that accessories dont have sewing clearly thats just the way I went with my piece) like a couple hand stitching for support but the rest is rivets, rings, grommets and chains all by hand. My class was taught by Anthony Vaccarello and David Duby. They are both amazing designers from Paris and I am so blessed to have been given the opportunity to take a class taught by them!

Needless to say I was a crazy person all quarter and ESPECIALLY that week of the show. I

created my garment and head piece in 3 days all while helping planning and run the show. The show was held at the Bentley Reserve which is a beautiful venue!

The weekend after the show I did a photo shoot with some girls in my fur class and they turned out amazing!! Here are all my pics from the class, show and photo shoot! =) Enjoy
