whirlwind

Boy-OH-boy it has been 

a whirlwind of a week

Crazy. Exciting. Stressful. & Humbling. best describes it.

I managed to make homemade Fudge (for the first time ever)

for a bake sale we held at school.

It turned out delicious, and was pretty easy to make.

Here is the recipe I used. 

I completed my Illustration homework that I turned in on Wednesday.

We had to choose 3 things that inspired us and design 3 looks for each.

(also try drawing men and kids)

My three inspirations were the Starbuck's logo, Lavender, 

& the markings on a deer.

We also had to design three shoes and enter them into 

the Vince Camuto Shoe Design contest

((which I posted all about, and needing everyone's help))

WELL, two of my designs made the Top 25!!
So THANK YOU everyone for your support and "likes" ♥
Now we just have to wait and see who's design they will pick.... fingers crossed!

I was so humbled to see the response that I got from Friends & Family
on Facebook, AND even from you guys!

A lot of the time (especially living so far away from home)
I feel kind of alone - just a little -
and struggled not having my core group of friends.
So to witness everyone willing to help me out in my time of need,
 I knew that even though I don't see them often they are still there for me.
You're never alone ♥



*Like I mentioned, I will be doing a giveaway in celebration
of the contest and making it that far.
Stay posted today for more details!!


Enjoy your Friday xoxo

Please help ♥

Thank you to everyone who has voted from my designs so far.

I am extremely close to the Top 25 and would truly appreciate 

everyone's vote that I can get, in hopes that I will be considered to 

win a trip to New York and have my design featured in 

Lucky Magazine! How amazing is that?!?

Please support me by following this link and "liking" my design.

Voting ends tomorrow (Wednesday 5.25.11)

Being able to blog and share for the pass 10 months

has changed my life and has strengthen my passion for what I do

in so many ways. I know I am absolutely in the right industry

and am extremely excited for whatever may present itself in the future.

Thank you all for inspiring me!

Wish me luck ♥

Sweet cravings

A little pick'me up

I have an awful sweet tooth today

but due to being stuck in class for 8 hours

these delights will have to do!

A little bit of sweet & salty!!

I will definitely be baking this weekend to say the least. 

HAPPY THURSDAY!

xoxo

real quick

Where does the weekend go??

Sorry I haven't posted since Wednesday, I tried to on Thursday but we all know

about that Blogger debacle - so weird that it took a whole day..

Anyways, as always it has been a busy & quick weekend

so I'll just share a quick outfit photo and then I'm off!

Back to homework & catching up on my TV shows.

((I'm a sucker for all of the Bravo Housewives' shows))

Let me explain the face lol I'm a goofball and I think I was singing

Katy Perry & doing a little of the robot.. And of course the boyfriend caught it.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that does that, right? : ]

(Free People romper, thrifted Frye boots, and basic tights)

Also the weather got wacky on us again this weekend,

hence the tights and thermal.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

xoxo
