Moving In

Ok, so now to start posting some real stuff and getting everything set up.

Before I forget, I want to talk about how much I LOVED Issac Mizrahi's Resort 2011 collection.* Like, loved love. So much.

I wish I had a reason to wear these dresses. I especially like the one on the bottom. Just enough... something. Not sure what, but it does make me happy. And the fabrics (both of 'em) are gorgeous!! *die

Cute little ensembles. Really feeling the little jacket on top in cahoots with the patterned shift. It's a cool combination.  As for the one one on the bottom, let me preface this by saying I'm not a huge head-to-toe black kinda girl. (I do love black though - let's be clear.) But I (again) LOVE this. I can't tell if it's a dress with a sweater on top (more likely) or a skirt/top/sweater combo. I don't need another summery black dress, but a skirt? Oh, that's getting made asap (meaning in 7 weeks when I'm done with summer classes).

These two not related, just cute. Again, the bolero is adorable, and the mix of patterns is, in my mind, perfect. That is what pattern mixing should look like. The dress is beautifully draped, and I'm a sucker for flowy.

*disclaimer: I don't look through every collection. Ever. Except couture, but that's an art gallery, not clothing in my eye. Honestly, Fashion Week (of any sort) overwhelms me. I go to Style.com, click, wander, procrastinate, and if I happen to stumble upon something good, lucky me. So never assume that what you're getting here is comprehensive coverage. Cause it ain't. People get paid to do that.

Version 2.0

So originally I started a blog to track my transferring from large public university on a pre-health track to an art program where I would, ostensibly, major in fashion design. After a lot of internal fighting and lengthy discussions with various people, I came to a decision. I wasn't going to transfer, but I wasn't going to give up my artsy dreams either, and furthermore, I loved science too much to give that up right away. So now I'm a Kinesiology [the study of human movement] and Studio Art major. No big career decisions to make until grad school applications. This blog is about me. What I do, what I love. What I think is magnificent and beautiful, whether it be a Chanel gown, a scientific discovery, or something else.
