My homework for my fashion illustration class this week was to do three children's figures. THAT, was fun! :) lol However, it is much harder for me to draw "realistic" children than it is adults so I imposed a little cartoonish style on them. I got these images from my Sesame magazine that you can find at any Japanese book store pretty much. I also had to post pictures of some of the children in this magazine because they crack me up so much! The funny thing is is that when i've gone to Japan, you actually do see kids decked out head to toe like this [not all ofcourse] I was almost starting to feel embarrassed and not dressed up enough one time when I was standing next to a little 3 year old I believe who had a better sense of fashion than myself! :[) ahaha lol

I loooove looove these bags and shoes from Koos! Im super picky when it comes to bags, however I laugh when I say this because I currently carry a grey canvas tote bag that I got from The Strand. But it is simple, and has a zipper at the top and is super deep and durable and and and... :) So back to my pickyness, im really picky - I don't like lots of ornamentation and hardware, if there is going to be hardware I want it to be really subtle but unique with usually a matte finish <- SEE im picky! So when I saw these bags, I drooled, I mean drooooooooled! I am currently covered in slobber right now. But don't you think these pieces are so timeless? *yes* Ha I already answered for you! :^[)

Oh deer, that is really all I can say.... a lot has happened recently in such a short amount of time, that im constantly amazed that it has all happened [?] I swear ive been on auto pilot since September! Im finally in my temporary apt. that I share with my sister Sarah and another girl. My moving experience into our place was not one of smarts. I basically shlepped everything in a cab/bus/ or subway - because I had nothing packed...and ready for the actual move, so I did 5 million mini trips -> the dumbest idea ever! And a waste of money,time, and energy.... But onto more important things => SCHOOL!!! :[) It started again the end of January, and I have to admit that the first two weeks were really hard for me in terms of my emotional well being. I had gone from a section last semester that was full of energy and really out going to one that was extremely quiet and independent... I basically had little mini meltdowns in the bathtub while taking my bubble bath everynight... and as im writing this im thinking to myself why im even divulging all this, but really I think ive gotten to a point now where I just don't care who knows what.... [well actually there are private things that I will never share - sorry] :( but who knows, maybe by me sharing this, whomever reads this can relate and not feel so alone....and perhaps im reading way too deeply into this. But the point is..... is that I was struggling with not really talking to anyone - but that has slowly changed and ive come to really admire everyone in my section! Truly! The atmosphere to me is one that is uplifting and calm - something that I think my mind desperately needs right now! Also I have to say how much I love my teachers this semester! I feel so blessed to have had really great teachers last semester and again for Spring. My concepts teacher [fashion collection ideas] has encouraged me to really cultivate my personal style into my croquis and finishes! I almost died and went to heaven when he said that, because I felt so oppressed last semester with having to configure to the "fashion drawing aesthetic" <- but really it was just about having to learn the fundamentals...I guess.. ;) ahah lol ohhh im tired and will actually go to bed at midnight as opposed to 4,5,6 am!!!! I also have to admit that im super embarrased for the delay in writing in my blog and not responding to the comments left behind as promptly as ive normaly done...Oh and last but not least, a picture of my recent collection I designed. It is of my edits for my Spring/Summer knitwear collection that we just finished.... Im really proud of this picture because it is done in MY style! :^[) *night*
