Color My Life With the Color of Chaos

Sorry for the complete and abject poverty of posts by me lately. I was doing rather well and then some unlikely and tragic events came up in my life, causing me to spend a week off of school and in my pajamas. Ever since then, I've been in a funk that I am desperately trying to break out of, and I think today might be the day that it happens. For instance, at this very moment, I am sitting outside of my favorite building at my college, in the warm sunshine, sipping tea and taking a break from writing a very, very insightful paper on the critical themes of "Good Bye Lenin!" (great movie, by the way). Anyway, my fashion concept is still very grandpa inspired at the moment. Barring today, the weather lately has been abysmal and has called for cardigans nonstop. Note my brand new oxfords in the first pictures: I'm in love. No man can make me as happy as those shoes!

I figure that I will give you a little snapshot of myself right now:

Reading: Alice in Wonderland. I've never read it before! Everyone has told me this is a travesty that I need to fix, so I'm doing it.

Watching: "Whip It!", the latest episode of the Office where Pam has the baby, the spring slowly slipping into my life.

Wearing: work uniform. Nasty Keds that are so very comfortable, khakis, oversized "Starbucks" polo, my super rad oversized sunglasses.

Wanting: some lunch. I am just crippled with indecision on where to find said lunch. I want something really fresh and really cheap....

Plans of the Day: to go to my Nazi history class, pop into work and make that money, go home and see my lovely grandparents who are coming into town.

Пока!

More pics from our FA-Reezing shoot at Stoner park!
(if you read my other blog,you'll probably realize this is sort of a double post...I'm not creative enough to do two different ones! plus, we've been too busy to get any good daily outfit shots.)




I love how this top,and whole look really,came together. I was going for punky Referee.I don't know why..that is just what the fabric told me it wanted to be:)




Aren't those shoes just...perfect??^




again, the outdoor pics were shot by my FABULOUS partner-in-crime Becky,and the studio shots are by Hayley of Sharperphotography.com !!

Uncle Jimmy,here's to you. You'll be missed.
I just found out today my Dad's brother passed away.Who knows what's going to happen now, but my thoughts and prayers are with my family, and hopefully soon I will be too.


Anyway.I'm sorry this post took so long to happen. There has been a TON going on. This is probably not going to be as bright and shiny of a post as I had intended,but I already uploaded the pics, so,here goes. I shan't deprive our few readers the chance to finally glimpse my spring/summer 2010 pieces:)

This is The Callie.(named for poor Callie,who would've modeled it but fell sick that day. Next time dear!)It's a short sleeve Henley Dress. This blue one here is soon to be available in my Ready-to-ship store, size extra small.(will fit UP TO measurements 36/30/36. Will be snug as shown on model.)



Not your size or color? You can get one custom made to your measurements in my Customs Shop!Any color you want, and your choice of eco-friendly or regular fabric!!!Gasp!





You want me to stand how?






Poor Hayley..it was soooooo cold out.I edited some of the other pics and 'warmed them up',but here you can almost see how cold it is.







Maybe this was inappropriate graffiti for a children's playground. But then again, Stoner Park doesn't sound so kid friendly anyways.



ahem...anywho...more fashion..






"Please don't make me take off the sweater!"



Hayley(the model) and Shawn (her Husband) finally got to try out their new photography studio!didn't these turn out great?!
