The snow is falling to create a thick layer of cake outside, and I want to add frosting to it.  I don't know why but I always feel the need to relate experiences and happenings to different types of food... maybe I'm just a fat kid at heart.  I've been extremely busy lately, and my only posts are from my polyvore account that are stylings for my ModCloth dress that is soon to be published, well give or take a month or two.

Between classes, and running around for them I'm finally sitting down to write down a few things that have been happening.  Today was a day for new things, I got off my butt and conquered some fears of doing things by myself and bought a plane ticket to see my sister in a few weeks for spring break, my gosh I'm so excited to see my beautiful tall sister.

BOOM!

Also, I've been working on my self portrait for digital imaging... this class is definitely out of my comfort zone, but with the right tools, like my bamboo from my beautiful friend Grace, I can actually paint on my computer.  It's challenging, but once I'm in the zone I work hard... the thing is getting in that zone to begin with.

There's a little slice of it...

Also, I've been trying to get together a nice concoction of my inspiration lately.  Today I turned in my sketches for the dress that I'll be making for a fashion show coming up in late April that I may or may not be modeling.  So I'll post pictures of those things once I'm further on.

I hope everyone is enjoying the crisp weather outside, don't slip and slide too much, and make an extra cup of tea or chocolate for me :)

My logo that I designed. whatchaaa, took me a while and I think I'm still going to tweak it, but it's finally in the works.

As Mod Podge fumes filled the air I decided to shop online... the thing with that is that I always look and never buy, I'm safari shopping.  Something cool did happen though, as I was shopping dresses I stumbled upon my very own dress that's being sold... remember the one I was telling you about? it's out and I'm beyond excited.  Poor Laura was just plain shocked at my reaction, I was freaking out and needed to call my Mom and sister.

I have to get up early and do more homework in the fashion lab and then study for another exam, but my tiny little school is celebrating Valentine's day with cupcakes and I'm quite the happy little school girl, maybe I'll snatch some for the road.  Tomorrow will be a day filled with sappy movies, and spending time with lovely people.  

Happy Valentine's day viewers, I love you all

I've spent a solid amount of time within this past week watching some s/s 13 couture runway shows.  Whether by myself, or trying to explain certain trends to my friend Isaac at 3am, there were some things that genuinely caught my eye as fairly interesting.  

These are just a few that I liked.

While randomly searching on stylesight I also found some fairly interesting suits/patterned pjs that just look absolutely luxurious.  I've never been a huge fan of a garment such as this, but I find it'd very comfortable for the spring time.  Living in such an area that I do and hating snow, I'm pining for the warmth that springtime possesses.  Maybe this is me trying to warm myself, from the inside out, viewing images online.

School has been pretty hectic lately, and I've been meaning to write more on here and post pictures, but sometimes it's hard to make the time, even though I'm mainly on the computer anyways.  I miss my family, and I miss my sister even more.  I've been mentally overwhelmed with classes, and relationships, and I'm just ready to hide in a cocoon of blankets with sweet coffee.

Good day viewers,

going to go drink some coffee with some beautiful friends.
