Chiddy Bang - Opposite Of Adults (HD)

 

This song is my jam! Chiddy Bang is the name of this band. They perform at Lollapalooza this year. I wish I could have saw them perform. This song- "Opposite of Adults" has the beat from MGMT's hit song, Kids. It's the perfect mix of hip-hop and electro music. LOVE. This music video is really cool..so watch.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

I forgot to announce this but..

I AM GOING TO FRANCE OVER SPRING BREAK FOR THE FRENCH EXCHANGE WITH MY SCHOOL!!!!!!!!

I will be spending 12 days in France. 4 days in Paris, 1 day in Loire Valley and somedays in the town with the high school that I we will be going to. I get to stay with a host family and everything. I am so excited. I will post as many pictures as I can from my trip, this will be the first time I've been out of the United States. But it's gonna be a party! 

Here's some pictures of places that we are going to visit on our trip:

So all in all, I'm excited as hell. Spring Break is going to be the greatest.

FALL PHOTOSHOOT

A couple of weeks ago, my sisters and I had a photoshoot in our backyard. The leaves were changing colors and everything..I love the fall. I love my sweater in this photoshoot. I bought it at The Economy Shop in my town for $4. The Economy Shop is a thrift shop and they sell the coolest resale clothes for super low prices. I LOVE LOVE that shop. My sweater is a men's sweater. It's a men hipster sweater and super comfortable. My sister took these pictures with a Canon Powershot SX20 IS.

Blind Pilot - The Story I Heard


I stumbled on this song a couple years ago, it's freaking beautiful. This band was featured in the November isssue of NYLON if you want to read up more about them.

REASONS LIKE SEASONS, THEY CONSTANTLY CHANGE.

I've been away from my blog for quite sometime. These past months have been crazy for me..Applying to college and everything. So much has happen..it's hard to wrap my mind around. Coming up in November, this blog will be a year old. A YEAR OLD. Since then my life has completely change..I've decided for sure that I want to pursue and study fashion in college and which college I want to go to. My taste in music has changed. I don't really listen to the same music I used to. But overall, change is good. In the next couple of months, my high school experience will be coming to an end, so I might just get used to change. ANYWAY..
I've came up with a list of college that I'm applying to. Here they are...

1. Columbia College Chicago
2. Drexel University
3. Kent State University
4. Illinois State University
5. School of the Art Institute of Chicago
6. Western Illinois University

I know for sure that I will get into Columbia and Western. But I'm not sure about the others, only time will tell. I finished my app for Kent State yesterday and got all my stuff in for Western Illinois, so in a matter of weeks I should know. FINGERS CROSSED.

I'm done with my random rant..I'll post more soon.

MAKE THIS GO ON FOREVER.

BAM. Just like that, I will start with a new blog post. Starting with my Fashion class at Columbia. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that class. I've learned so much about being a designer and the fashion industry. I mean, sure, it's alot of work and everything but I don't mind. Sketching collections with certain color palette and fabric swatches.  In my class, we do everything with fashion design besides sewing. For our final project,, we have to create our final collection with nature or architecture as our influence. We also have to draw four designs and have a certain theme, color palette and fabric swatches. My theme is "The Secret Garden" with the influence of the rose flower. I'm so excited. We have to present our final collection to the class and they will be displayed in a gallery for our final showcase. 

Here's a picture of a dress I made for class:

I forgot to cut the pleat on the left side, so it's a little uneven.
