Allow me to drool for a few moments

I'm going to use my study break to share some drool-worthy items with you guys.
Consider this my official Christmas wishlist...only a few months early.


From this amazingly cute shop!


I must have this for my apartment! From Target

&& I'll add more to this later!
Study break has taken far too long since I got distracted by lots of other things. Haha

Not so super awesome update & a few awesome updates

Not so super awesome update first:
I will not be having a "fall line" after all.
I was hoping to have about 10 new items prepared by now to photoshoot and reveal soon. This was all wishful thinking during summer break & I was completely naive to the amount of time that school, color guard, and life in general takes up.
But although I won't have an actual line to reveal all at once, I will still be making little things here and there and revealing them on my Etsy site.

Some awesome updates:
I'm still totally open for custom Halloween costumes. If you can dream it up, I can make it!
Also, I just opened up a new custom section for Fall Ball dresses. I'm limiting amount of customers for that to 3 and I already have one spot taken up.

Just a quick little update for everyone has been keeping track!

All my favorite pieces...happened partly because of a failure. Every really interesting twist in my work has happened because I fu**ed up on something, and then we had to compensate somewhere else. I think that you make much larger advancement through failures"

I wonder who is getting the satisfaction of sitting back and calling the shots on what the definition of "right and wrong" is.
I'm getting to the point where I don't want to listen to them anymore.
I call the shots 'round here now.

Do me a favor and let recklessness inspire you for awhile.

QOTD and some updates

"I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me."

Updates:
I am thinking that September 25th will be the official release date for my new stuff.
Unless something changes and I just absolutely can't get everything done by then...which might be possible.

Oh && along with fall stuff...

I'm doing custom Halloween costumes this year! I'm sure Halloween has yet to enter your minds but if you start thinking about it and can get your orders into me soon, that'd be super awesome!
Custom costumes would start at about $40 since they typically require a lot of fabric, time, and pizazz.
The same deal works for these as with the rest of my customs. I'll give you an estimate of the job total and draw up a sketch before I do any work.
Oh and I ask that half of the total amount is paid up-front. That' the only change.

I think that's all the updates I have for now.
I'll be setting up a few more "sneak peaks" sometime over the weekend and next week!

Quote of the Day

Sure, QotDs are everywhere and always aspire in raise hope in the hearts of millions and all that fancy stuff.
I guess you could say that my quote of the days are written for the same purpose. These are the ones that caught my eye and maybe this blog will become your favorite place for quote of the days! Or it may not in which case, this is entirely for just my own benefit.

"Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's crackers up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is wroth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more"
-Erica Jong

I warn you now, my of my quotes are going to be loved based.
I'm a sucker for love, ya know ^-^

Spoiler Alert!

So, as promised, here is a little sneak peak at one of the items getting ready to be debuted mid-September (I'm still trying to pick an actual date so bear with me).
This dress is currently my favorite thing ever! It's so cute and I'm probably going to make one for myself when I get some spare time.

I'm still trying to get the hang of clothes that are "fall inspired"
Although I've been designing for 2 years now, this is my first attempt at making not spring/summer stuff.
Expect a bit darker colors and, hopefully, completely new and interest styles all in all.
But, of course, I'm not ready to get up my love affair with floral completely.

Step One

Step Two

Step Three (my camera decided to make the dress magically change colors)


*please, keep in mind this dress is far from complete and I won't be posting a picture of it completed until I reveal my new "collection" as a whole

nothing too exciting but hey, that's how all my stuff comes together!

I'm also currently starting work toward a nation-wide fashion design scholarship for potential Art Institute students. I'm really nervous and excited and it's going to be a lot of work but...I'm going for it!
Wish me luck

Game plan: 2.0

so since I work alone and no one is ever in my studio with me, I decided to try something new.
As I embark into preparing my "fall line", I'm going to take random pictures throughout the process of making my clothes.
To kinda give those who might be interested a little insight to the work that goes into my work.
I think it'll be fun and a bit strange for me to allow people to see my stuff in the making so I'm quite excited!

I'll have this up in a few days
