Sandy Cove Inn

its been so long since i've updated, i thought i would share some photos from this sweet little inn on the oregon coast, the whole inn was themed, each room was very different. i was luck enough to see 4 or 5 different rooms before choosing my favourite. this one was 1940s themed with some beautiful decor, other rooms included a garden theme, games theme etc.

Round One

OK! These are my first renderings of my collection, I am not certain about anything yet, although I did draft the pattern for the mustard dress. There are lots of changes to be made but this is how it is looking thus far. I made a sample page of fabric swatches. I want to use a majority of natural fibres ex. silk and wool. Preferable 100% but you can't always get what you want. 

50s in the City

OK, SO.. been back at school for a month now, already down to the wire about grad collection designs. Two days to figure it out! Last week I made a storyboard about my inspiration. I love classic styles and my favourite decade is the 50s and the New Look silhouette. With that said I decided to go for 50s fashion icons meets present day New York City fashion. I believe it will be a cocktail line. We will see how this all turns out.. Will try to post more often, about more interesting things! I need to get my life on track!

Versailles and the Louvre

Here are some more pictures! I have been starting to think about school and getting ready to get back into the swing of things and I am not impressed! I need to start thinking about what I want to design for my graduation collection and at this point I have no idea! The colourful shirt I am wearing was from TopShop, my only purchase in London, I couldn't stand the tremendous crowds! The middle picture is overlooking the Seine at sunset and the bottom two are from Versailles. It was the hottest day ever and we just about died an hour after these photos were taken! Hope everyone had a marvelous summer. Last week I went down to the states to get some shopping done and picked up some cute dresses from F21 for such low prices!

Gustave and the Champs Elyseeeee!

I just got home 2 days ago from my trip to Europe! I am so jet lagged I can't function and for the three people that might read this, here are some pictures from my first day in Paris! I loved it there and can't wait to see the rest of the world. I will post about my findings soon! xo

Big Bows!

Some more hairbands from today!

Using the same fabrics I used to make the smaller bows, i tripled the size  and made much larger bows! I think they turned out pretty good, small enough to be wearable, but large enough to make a statement? What do you think? Let me know if anyone is interested in them!

First Shot at Adobe

This is my first real shot at adobe illustrator. To be honest I had no clue what I was doing but I think it turned out ok. It was so stressful trying to get it done when my computer doesnt like illegal software! After about 4 installations later I finally was able to finish it! I went for a nautical spring theme. Didn't want to get too complicated on the designs for a first shot.  What do you think?
