I likes it

I ♥ KARL SO MUCH.

Just some stuff I like that I saw on Design Scene.

↑ I want to cuddle up in this everyday. ➚

➚ Lately I've really been loving nautical fashions.

I really want luggage from Givenchy so bad. ↑↑ Mainly the middle one. Actually all of them.

↑ I love the lines on this jacket. mmmmmm. :D ↑

Big fan of this cover. ↑

On a side note, still applying for jobs. Heard back from a job agency and if I lost two inches in my hips I could have had a job as a fit model. Its not the best job but it is a way into the industry... Nah, I'll pass because there's no way I'll loose that much quickly, plus I love food way way way too much to starve myself or not eat that much. So I'm deciding to keep looking obviously and to expand my online business from hairpieces to accessories in general. I'm going to want to shoot myself but I want to start selling jewelry and handbags. Plus I want to make more headpieces. So I'll be busy getting that stuff together. Oh and its time for a new bathing suit... soooooo I'm going to make one. I have all the supplies I need so there is no point to go spend money when I can make what I want. My fingers are crossed for a job and my hopes are high. Thats all :)

SFAC

So here are some of the Pictures I took for STRUT FOR A CURE. I had a blast. I loved being at the event and meeting all the people and just helping out for a good cause. There were about 1,000 people there which means $95,000 was raised for Children's Cancer (for Canada). How awesome is that? I met a bunch of great people that I hope I can stay friends with. Oh and not to mention the lovely Coco Rocha. She was just as beautiful in person.

This is a picture of the actual runway/stage.

I was able to get my friend Rachel to volunteer with me so I didn't feel so bad that I didn't hang out with her :)

Here's Coco being interviewed infront of Rimmel London cosmetics (Her add for the 60 second nail polish is coming out soon.)

VIP lounge area.

Todd Lynn's Fall 2010, I was security on the 2nd floor so I didn't get good photos but I still got to watch.

Todd Lynn and Coco Rocha :)

Dragonette was the entertainment (along with DJs) and they rocked it. They are my new music obsession. Oh and she wore a lovely little number by Todd Lynn.

I'm kinda really embarrassed of this photo, because 1) My hair looks disgusting and like a lion's mane 2) i look like a slob because of the t-shirt oh and 3) my eyes look crazy. But Coco looks fab.

One of the other volunteers Lauren Chan. She was really awesome and fun. She has a blog so you should definitely check it out. Sans Mes Culottes

I am so happy I was able to snap this next photo. I actually asked James Conran if I could get a photo of him and his "wife-to-be". He said sure and looked really happy that I asked to get a picture of him. Oh and of course they look so cute and happy. Coco actually retweeted it on her twitter which is awesome:

Oh_So_Coco My hubby-to-be and i at #strutforacure last night which was a huge success -http://twitpic.com/1rvu0x (via @_alysonnicole)

Me and Rachel again on stage.

& on one of the many couches in the Berkeley Church. I really wish we were able to wear something awesome but we didn't dress up because we knew we had to wear t-shirts anyways.

I have more photos of the event on my facebook if you want to check it out.

But I guess thats all for this post!

Can I please fast forward?

So even though I have absolutely no money (not even to pay my bills) I'm taking a trip to Buffalo, NY come monday. Oh and then to Toronto for 2nd annual Strut for a Cure fashion show. I'm really so excited to be volunteering for this event. The beautiful, kind and talented Coco Rocha is starring in and is the reason for this benefit show (for children's cancer). There's going to be a lot of different fashionistas there including fashion magazines, fashion tv shows, and music entertainers. Todd Lynn is displaying his fall 2010 collection and IM SO EXCITED TO SEE IT! His style is so rocker and edgy that I can totally see my designs fitting in with his. Oh and I'd totally work for him.

I just hope that I can network, possibly make some really good connections, and I'm PRAYING I'll get a job or a lead to a job.

I'm also really happy to be seeing my friend Rachel :) Its always a good time when I see her and I hope this time she's not sick ;). Well I'm kinda sorta trying to pack right now but really all I can think about is wanting to make a new outfit for the show. I'm definitely bringing clothes that I've made just incase I feel ballsy enough to wear them to the show. (Hopefully someone will ask where I got it.. and you know the rest) The woman in charge of the volunteers hasn't sent out the dress code yet. She sent out an email telling us all that there will be on but so far, nothing. I just hope the dress code isn't too serious that I'd have to go out and buy something that I didn't pack, because I really can't afford that :/ so sad.

Well Coco, I will see you soon!

Senior Exhibit!!!! oh and the few photos of graduation festivities...

First off I want to say "Congrats to all my graduated friends from everywhere!!!" I'm so excited to be finished college but at the same time I'm not looking forward to being a "real" adult. Ugh. As job hunting continues I get more and more discouraged. It so hard to find an entry-level job. All the jobs I've been applying for aren't bitting, or I just don't have the experience. I PROMISE I'M GOOD AT WHAT I DO!!!! Oh! Strut for a Cure is next week! SUPER EXCITED to be there! I'm hoping it will be lots of fun and a great networking opportunity, plus I'm really hoping to meet the beautiful Coco. :) That would be awesome enough. :)

So... here's some photos of my senior collection in my exhibit that I had in the gallery up at school. It was up for 2 weeks I think? Mom and Dad made sure to take a ton of pictures of me, oh joy.

I wore a skirt made and designed by myself with an UO flutter sleeve top, my lovely marc jacobs heels and my grandmothers silver dollar necklace incase you all wanted to know :)

So the president of the college always has a "cocktail dinner" the night before the graduation..... there is nothing that screams dinner there, just hors d'oeuvres. So me being me and wanting pineapple, I decided why not cut it open and feed my table. Well needless to say the pineapple was sweet and well worth it!

I didn't get many pictures of my friends and I in caps and gowns but I really wasn't in a picture taking mood. But here are some lovely pics of the people I did take pictures of. (Liz I love you) oh and a few of teachers (Dr. Sanders and Laurabeth) that I will miss/or I had a crush on... Sanders... mmmmm.
