(how classy..cough, cough)

I feel as if I smoked 10 ciggies in my sleep last night. -Of course I didn't- but, if for some reason I did, I hope it looked as cool as these photos.
Maybe it's the lingering pollen or an up and coming cold. Lets hope its just a Thursday thing. xoxo

True Living

Photobucket

Photobucket

(Fashion Forecasting Trend Project)


The overall theme captures the mood of true living and style. When you can take something that is a reject at the thrift store sitting on the bottom of a pile of junk and make it work, make it look interesting, that’s real style to me. This will be a line with a vision—one that says that fashion should be accessible and easy for everyone, with a little bit of rebellion thrown in. In a time when everything is being pared down to its most minimal form, is when style becomes more about the way you inhabit your clothes than the clothes themselves. Creating the lifestyle of low-threshold-cool with high ideals and an artistic spirit. Getting over high-end everyday and pursuing creative endeavors.

I keep a journal and rip pages out of books. I think that when you open your mind, you realize there’s art everywhere, there’s art all around us. That’s what keeps the wheels in motion. In these tough economic times fashion will reject the familiar mainstream and refuse to give up the artistry involved in simplicity.

Stephanie pointed out this lace dress yesterday while rummaging through my dress rack . I forget about it sometimes, but will never stop loving it. I found this unique piece at a little vintage shop in Miami last year during Music Fest. It's a favorite find and mixes well with the Japanese floor table and pillows.

My mind is stronger than my heart.

Its sweet when someone knows every single detail about you. Not because you constantly remind them, but because they pay attention.



You are embedded in my soul forever.

Living a trend

Photobucket

I always seem to get more work done when its rainy out..or possibly its just the boost of my
tall extra hot peppermint mocha.

Regardless, I have come to realize that this quarter seems like such a repeat of projects. Instead of complaining about the familiar, I am reinventing the old and building on the new. This is an inspiration board for my forecasting trends class:


Photobucket

These consumers are down to earth, go with the flow and don’t want anyone or anything labeling who they are. Instead of letting the designer label wear them, they wear it in their own way -giving it life and individuality. Exclusivity and individuality are the key words that are necessary to any savvy merchandiser's vocabulary -as they are the driving forces of the future.

The clothing line created will speak the language of those consumers who are already “living” a trend.

What do you have in that thing? -My life!

Photobucket

This past week has been such a whirlwind. I feel like I have been in a constant rush from place to place -living out of my purse if you will.
These are a few things I couldn't live without.

another day. just believe.

Photobucket

I felt the piece that holds our innocence and the belief that love really can last forever

It holds friendship and pain, trial and error, that one kiss you'll never forget, and that night under the stars you can never get back.
It holds youth and everything you thought love would be.
