Destination Canada

I want to go to this. Anyone else going?

One Step Dressing

Tibi Jumpsuit $388 Net-A-Porter.com

The ONLY jumpsuit I need in my life.
There are sooooo many ways I could wear it!
For example, you can pull the legs up into shorts
or add a different belt. Off the shoulder, on the shoulder
and so many layering options! Great investment, basically.

Tomorrow morning is my last class ever... except for maybe
two summer school classes! I will try and upload pictures from
the fashion show this weekend. My BFFRZ Linda will be in town
for the weekend. LOADS of pictures to come.

Bug Off!

Beetlemania A-Line Tee $28.00 Urban Outiftters

Ok, I do like bugs. However, I would contradict

the creepiness of this shirt with a dope high waisted

skirt, patterned heels and of course a strand of pearls,

diamonds, or onyx. And I'm almost sure this shirt will

age to perfection.

Always Sneaking Up On Me

I can not stress how fun these parties are. Cheap drinks,
sexy bartenders, dope art, and great music.
Remember always dress up because it is sexier that way.
Also, VOX TROT!!! You can bet Lety and I will be singing our little hearts out...





ALSO

I am planning on visiting L.A. in June/July to support my brother
and some friends on America's Best Dance Crew.
I dont have too many details but I do need a place to stay, prolly...
or some companions to join me?
Hit me up if you are down!

Oh Men

I realized I post more about shoes than anything else. However, it has
been a while since any Mens post. So here are some of my favorite mens
shoes at the moment.



Clae Romare Hi $137.00 RevolveClothing.com
There is another Dark Brown and
Olive combination I like better for fall.



Gram Sneaker $123.00 Revolveclothing.com
So casual and cool.

Umbro by Kim Jones $167.00 RevolveClothing.com
I really like how plain these are but
specifically the beige suede accents.

All of the above will enhance an outfit as opposed to being THE
outfit. They are simple but can still speak for themselves. If
you're the non flashy type but still know whats good... Then
these are for you.

5 Days

Lovette's Buttons!


This flower print and color combination had me hypnotized


Cindy


Kevin Birthday Cupcakes in Pattern Grading


Ashleigh. Sick colors and patterns

Make It Work...

And that's what it all comes down to.
There is one week before our collections is
due and presented to be judged by family, faculty
and peers.


Today, one of my teachers told me he was going to boo
me and that was pretty inspiring. As soon as he walked out
of the room I began to bawl... mainly, because I HAVE SO MUCH to do
in one week.

Galleria Scouting

A few days ago we went model scouting at the Galleria.
Here are a few pictures of awesomeness.


Jen at Barneys
Dress by Marc Jacobs



These boots are pretty perfect. They are by Fiorentini + Baker.


Russian girl with cute hair cut.


I loved how put together this girl was. The eyelet
shirt is key to this lovely spring get up.


Everyone make Ashleigh get this hat. So good.

These next two weeks are pretty important for me so I am extremely
sorry for not updating. All my focus and attention is required elsewhere.

Also, still looking for a few models for the show. I am looking for high
fashion girls. 5'8 +
Email me with a head and body shot at ev@evsaid.com
Maybe you are interested or maybe you know someone who would be?

The fashion show is Friday, May 2 at 8 pm at 1300 Holman HCC Central gym.
Excited!

Sketching + Sewingly,

WORK Room

Currently, working on my portfolio.
Ink, Water Color, Markers, and...
I am dedicating all day today and
tomorrow on this.

Creating is kind of expensive.

I need new shoes. :(

SCHOOL BREAK

YOU ARE GOING! Bring Presents, Confetti and your Dancing Shoes!

It's All About the Benjamin... Cho

I basically try to blog about things or ideas to reference
back to. I really liked Benjami Cho's Spring 2008 collection.
It wasn't anything too out of the ordinary but I really liked
the details and idea of it. I am a sucker for a beautiful silhouette
and the right fabric.




















The concept to this design is so simple yet to
work fabric into doing that is not an easy task.
That blouse would be such a nice addition to any
wardrobe particularly mine.





















I love the detailing and cut of those
pants. The rope detail is really interesting.


And I'm always such a nerd for stuff like this:






































So love how the ribbons tie the
Agate pieces together.





















Beautiful Silhouette





















Dress is a tad too short on her

Vent #1

My priority above everything is finishing this collection.
I don't want anything that represents me to... suck real bad. I
have high standards for everything I create.

The craziest part of everything is I made my first dress ever in December.
I mean I have been in the Fashion Design program since Spring 2006. My
passion has been styling and until December was everything I wanted. I really
like making things and choosing fabrics... I have spent more money on fabrics,
threads, trims, inks, and paper and NY then I have on clothes or shoes. :(

Our school has been really not cool to the collections class. First off, We have
to find our own models. We also have to find our own hair and make up people.
They also sold all the front row tickets before any students in the fashion department
even had a chance to buy any for our families. My parents have been the biggest support
system I have and it sucks that they cant get dibs on that. BOO!

I am pretty proud of the things I have made considering my experience. I love the
theme and I am hugely influenced by my surroundings, colors, and crazy awesome
sick patterns. I love the unexpected mixed with the expected to create something
you never expected to love.

This blog has really helped me archive all the things I want and can't
have. If I can't have them, someone else should, right??
But it goes beyond my materialistic side, it has helped me stay
inspired and continue doing and reading and researching the things I love.
Thank you to everyone who continues to visit this blog every day even
when I have not posted. :)

Yesterday, Anya, Ashleigh and I went museum hopping for
some inspiration/motivation. Here are a few pictures from our adventure.

This is at the CAMH. Check out the Thom Browne sexiness.

Also, Thanks to Whitney for helping get me an
abundance of amazing hair and make up people.

The Two Tone Rule

Cheap Monday 2 Color Denim Jean
Urban Outfitters $65.00

These are crazy good. I love the contrast and abstract randomness
going on. I would have so much fun dressing these up. There is a fine
line between tacky and... not tacky. Therefore, keep your pieces modern
and elegant to avoid looking a hot mess.

No Sleep 'Till Brooklyn

You know what is really painful?
Kneeling down and a pin sticking half way
into the center of my knee.

Yeah...
Sorry for lack of updates but I have been way
too busy stabbing myself with pins and making
things I never knew I could make.
I will update with more things soon.

I love going into my internship since I get to see
all these lookbooks for Spring/Fall 2008, and
trend magazines.
There are so many things I want to blog about but
I seriously need to stay focused on this whole graduating thing.

Here is some randomness:
