Swimsuit Inspiration






Today I started my swimsuit shopping expedition for my Hawaii vacation approaching in just over a week! Luckily, in Santa Cruz, stores carry swimsuits year round. Although I found a few I liked, the hunt goes on! They just don't make them like they used to...

Last night was the FAST (Fashion and Student Trends) Fashion Show at UC Berkeley. I made a seven piece collection, titled "The Little Golden Age". Here are some pictures from the night!

Twiggy

My new hair inspired my Halloween costume this year: Twiggy! I dressed up for my This American Life Decal so I wouldn't have to do my homework. My housemate, Liz, helped me with my makeup. I found a dress I have been hanging onto for a long time but never wear, which was very 60's and perfect, and my new red coat from Forever 21 which I love. This does feel like an outfit I would wear any day to school, but it was fun to put some makeup on and style my hair a little differently.

Fall Fashion Show: First Outfit Completed!


Last week, I used the free corduroy that I got from across the street to make a circle skirt. I thought the corduroy might make the skirt to heavy, but it turned out really well. It will be nice and warm with boots during cold weather. I added pockets with red piping and am going to put on some navy blue buttons. I went to the fabric store, hoping to be inspired by some fabrics- and I was! My color palette for the show has evolved to be gold, red, blue, and black. Usually I don't wear or use a lot of blue or red, so I was surprised to find myself heading in that direction. It will be very fall! I made a tank top to go with the skirt out of this great stretch fabric I bought (pattern drafted by myself); I love the print! It is going to take a lot of will power not to wear the shirt before the show.
