so i'm going to either need to learn to write backwords, or... more pragmatically i should just rotate the pics.
but i'm a student. and thus need to get back to facebooking and talking to ppl on gchat.

what I'm wearing... and drawing.

So I've skipped the pond and moved to London to go to Fashion Accessory School at the London College of Fashion. Our first assignment is re-make, re-model and well here is my train of thought concerning this blog.

1) friend on facebook is doing the whole photo-a-day challenge which is a lot easier with an iphone (to be purchased Monday afternoon, Tuesday at the latest... soooo excited)
2) i need to work on my sketching skills as a designer, fashion illustration, what not.
3) one of the things about fashion blogs i find most interesting (although only if they actually have a sense of style) is when people post what they wear daily.
4) sooooo, i'm going to combine my {need to practice drawing} + {want to actually blog} + {document personal style evolution} = somewhat read-able blog. at least for me... and maybe http://coco-canal.blogspot.com/

So today will just have to be a description.
Bottom Up:
CDG for Repetto black ribboned flats> beige ribbed tights> Acne black quilted pencil skirt w/ exposed zip, Stevan Alan light blue cotton shirt > Kain white tank> usual jewelry.

edit: this morning I also had a vintage hunter green wool vest over this, but may add a denim jacket instead for the evening.

sketching this now, will upload soon.

so it's been awhile....

awhile being like... 2 years. during which a lot can happen.
for instance...I got a job at Christian Louboutin! I will have to post a picture of my shoe collection soon. to make everyone jealous, and myself jealous in a few years after I have sold them all in order to pay for food and cigarettes.



(it's like a shoe-scape... and the incredible thing is, that's not even full pairs, or all of them. look at me with my thousands of dollars of shoes... and then be unable to order edamame at lunch today because it was $5)

i also went from shoulder length hair, to blonde to short short. this may not seem to important to document, but hair is a big deal to me :)

so let's just ignore the previous attempts at blogging and start afresh.
i suppose i could start a new blog, but i just put too much thought into picking a name for this one. dark and fashiony. a new drink name i think too.

i'm OBSESSED WITH THIS:


I did head pieces for awhile, sold at Patricia Fields and Sucre (an amazing boutique on Bleeker)
and it's my DREAM to have the tools and skills to make things like this.
while this is a little tricky to wear day to day, unless it's new years eve or halloween... (i live for holidays where everything goes in terms of getting dressed)
however the masks shown at the isabel toledo exhibit i think are much more wearable to... say, cocktails or a gallery function (unfortunately i don't attend much of either... more like shake shack in madison square park, but anyways) these masks are much more subtle, and much more DIY
