Finally

Stuff I made.
I am not a seamstress so I'm trying to
focus more on sketching and styling.
I tend to ignore the blog when I'm glued
to my sewing machine.


White Cotton Pique








Linen wrinkles easily so I should have
pressed these instead of steamed.


Clashing Batik


My favorite Silhouette


I later shortened this and wore it for graduation


These are so dope. They are made of linen.


Class of 2008



Christine wore this out after the show!

My focus in life right now will be creating
and saving money to move to NY ASAP.

Golden Boys



This has always been one of my favorite songs. Enjoy.

My camera broke and I didn't get many pictures from
my birthday! I will post some when I get them.
Thanks for all the birthday love, hugs, and whiskey.

Art Forms of Nature

Kunstformen der Natur is a book of lithographic
and autotype prints by German biologist Ernst Haeckel.
Here are some inspirational images from it.

This is also a reminder for me to get this book.















Stars Of The Sea


Crystal Starfish Cocktail Ring
$85.00 J.Crew

I just want to wear this all summer! The perfect
companion to my orange nail polish.

Don't forget to come to this Gemini Take Over:

Everyone Needs A Pucci


Emilio Pucci Ballerina Flats
eluxury.com $260

Only lately have I fallen in love
with Pucci prints. I used to hate them
because of all the horrible knock offs
that seemed to cheapen the idea. But
these are sick and seem to be the perfect
walking shoe. The thought of them fitting
perfectly into my oversized envelope clutch
makes me need them that much more.

Just a random Wikipedia fact:
Marilyn Monroe was buried in an Emilio Pucci dress.

Dream On

I don't necessarily know what I would wear this to
but it is a pretty amazing outfit. Of course, every piece
used is a statement piece and shouldn't be combined
unless you are like me and don't care.
A girl can dream, can't she?

i ride

I just saw this commercial and thought some of you might enjoy it.
I do think more people in this city should ride the Metro rail so maybe
we won't be one of the fattest cities in America.

Summer Flare

The weather in Texas is getting crazy hot.
Luckily, I have successfully checked off my
list of summer necessities, which included:

Sun Glasses
Cut-off Denim Shorts
Boat Shoes
Perfect Red Flats
Sunblock
Canvas Wedge

And I can't forget the perfect bathing
suit. Here are my top four summer picks.


Chanel Spring 2007
I remember wanting this so
bad when it first came out.


Retro Hightwaist Bikini
Top: $24.99
Bottom: $27.99
Victoria's Secret
Sweet!!!! I want the bottoms in black and
the top could be like a neon retro floral print.


Chanel Spring 2007


Retro One-piece
Victoria's Secret $51.99

I like this one more than the
Chanel one. The cut is flawless.


Polkadot Highwaist Bikini
Top: $31
Bottom: $28
Victoria's Secret
With a big red flower in your hair! So Dita!


Carmen Marc Valvo Shirred One-piece
Victoria's Secret $117
Quite possibly the most flattering
bathing suit in the world.

These are all flattering to any figure so work it!

Color Obsessions

These are the colors and things that have been on my mind... for quite some time.






Lapis Lazuli is such a distinct blue. I have a dope necklace
pendant of this stone. I have been craving this color
real bad.



I have been painting my nails with this orange nail
polish called Times Square Tangerine Creme by N.Y.C.
I have also been using orange colored lipstick everyday.
Maybe I like it so much because it's reminiscent
of a night filled with heavy Sparks drinking.





Pharaoh King Tutankhamen's Burial Mask




In conclusion, I decided to fix this problem fast and cheap.



$4.80 at Forever XXI
Yes! I love the cut and they are much brighter in real
life. These basic tees are so good for layering or
adding quick color to any outfit. I also got the gray
and will be getting more ASAP.
