More more fashion.

Hey everyone, I wanted to do an outfit update. I'm wearing super comfortable black shorts from Winners with an H&M blouse and an Aldo purse. My sister came to visit me a few days ago and she wore my blouse and tied a knot in it (like I did in my picture). It's such a great idea. It's so long so I would always tuck it in my shorts or pants, but you know how it can make lumps or folds sometimes? I think I'm always going to wear it like this from now on. Every time I take outfit pictures I realize just how much I want a camera, so I can take proper photos.

I know it's been about a week since I last posted. I actually haven't been that busy, just a bit lazy, I didn't know what to write about. I just learned yesterday that there's a Holt Renfrew really close to my place! I really need to check it out, I'll probably do a post soon on that. I have this new school project and I need to interview someone in the fashion industry. I don't really have any contacts yet, so I was going to go to nice boutiques and ask people who work there. I know that you can rent a stylist at Holt Renfrew, so I might do that and interview her at the same time. Any ideas? My team was picked first to present our interview, so I only have 3 weeks to do it. I'll keep you posted, I would absolutely love to find someone important in the industry like a designer. In the time curfew I'm not very sure what I can do.

Lanvin for H&M

Weird fact, did you know that H&M stands for Hennes & Mauritz? I seriously had no idea. You might have already hear the wonderful news that Lanvin is doing a collection for H&M this winter. I'm super excited to see what they'll come up with. I loved Lanvin's bold shapes for their fall 2010 collection. They used a lot of black, white, grey and beige with feathers and fur. I featured my favorite pieces of the collection above. It must be hard for more expensive brands to make commercial versions of their clothes.


Little update~
Sorry I haven't posted in 2 days, I'm been busy with school. This week was my first full week, and so far I love it! My Thursday and Friday are pretty intense because I have 7 and 8 hours of class, and I have to wake up at 8am both days. My pattern making classes are so much fun, I've always loved drawing graphs and stuff in math classes and it really helps. My textile class is getting more interesting, we have a big bag of textile samples that we get to examine and we have this huge project to do at home. I'm weird but I like homework, I love learning and I like having something to do. I probably won't be saying this during finals.

First day!

It's my first day at college today. So far I like it, the first class I had was composition of simple garments, it's 4 hours long. We didn't do very much, the teacher explained the class plan and what we needed, and we all introduced ourselves. It took me the longest time ever to find out where my locker was. I checked at least 3 different locker rooms until I found it. To find mine, I had to go into a locker room, and it was like a locker room inside a locker room. Kind of complicated, but now I know where it is (thank god because I had all my sewing stuff with me with huge rulers and annoying things to carry). The picture is what I'm wearing, a simple white shirt with nude/pinkish lace shorts. The picture isn't very good but it's all I can do. I got my shorts at H&M for 35$, it's now my favorite piece of clothing.

I'm halfway finished reading a book called The House of Gucci by Sara Gay Forden. So far I like it, it talks about the Gucci family, the problems and fights they had and also how they run the business. I'll write a review when I finish it. I'm giving myself until next friday to finish it.

~ outfit

I've realized that I haven't posted any pictures of outfits I've worn. I don't have a good camera at the moment, only the one on my cellphone. This picture is from last year, but I still really like the outfit. I made the white dress, it's actually the first piece of clothing that I've ever made, with a lot of help from my grandma. I paired it with a trench coat from H&M and Aldo shoes. You can kind of see the very pretty material used for the white dress.

Ever since I moved away from my parents (I used their camera all the time!) I've realized how important it really is now that I don't have one. I love taking pictures, it's a great way to capture a moment and inspirations. I don't have any intentions of becoming a photographer, but fashion and photography really go together. I've always loved doing photoshoots with friends, putting on crazy makeup and having fun.

I have so many ideas for new posts, but I don't want to use them all at once. I might post something new tonight, maybe a picture of myself. I'm starting college tomorrow, I'm very excited, I've always known that I want to go into something related to art. I haven't been drawing very much lately, but here's my deviantart if you want to see what I've done.
