americana.

The weather is slowly cooling... (well, not in San Diego) fall is right around the corner. Here are some pieces I have my eyes on...I have been really inspired by the look of americana lately. Soft colors, different shades of white and brown. I think it's because that is one of my teachers most used words...

project fidm.

To celebrate the new season of Project Runway, my school (FIDM, where this season of project runway was filmed) held a similar contest called Project FIDM. Students were formed into small groups then asked to make a dress for summer 2010, using second hand clothing and fabric scraps. Suprisingly my small group of 3 merchandise marketing majors won the contest for the FIDM San Diego contest! Here is the winning dress.

Etsy Model of the Week

This week I was looking over my favorites and was so excited to see new items  from Jacqleen Bleu.  You might remember my feature from way back.  Her photographs are amazing, the people and scenery are beautiful, and the shop is on the top of my list.  Most people would turn you away, I wont listen to a word they say.
I chose this weeks model because of her big, bold eye lashes.  Oh how I love eyelashes.  I am fortunate enough to have pretty long lashes and I am constantly looking on ways to get them bigger and bolder.   Not to mention her flawless skin.  love it.
