One of the things I wanted to do this summer was to make crepes. Well, mission accomplished! They were perfect and delicious. I put spinach, mushroom, avocado, and goat cheese in mine. Yum!

First Day at Work Outfit
Today was my first day at my summer job! I am going to be working at a personal training business in Santa Cruz as a business development associate. I wore a new Forever 21 Top with Gap jeans and my Dansko clogs. I also wore some earrings I bought in Paris. I just got my haircut so I was ready to go!
I really love the black collar on the blouse as well as the little gold buttons on the pockets. You can't tell from these pictures, but the sleeves have a nice pleating detail.

Old Photo Shoot
Here are some more pictures from a photo shoot my friend Torunn and I did over winter break of clothes we made. Enjoy!
Fashion Show
I went back to my high school for the annual SLV fashion show that I was involved in for three years in high school. I have been looking forward to watching the show for the first time! It was great. My mom and I dressed up for the event, got front row seating, and really enjoyed seeing all the clothes the students had created; it was a fantastic event. Luckily I had just got my haircut that afternoon, so I was ready to look stylish. I took some pictures at the show- they didn't turn out very good but here they are.

Summer Plans: sew, read, beach, friends.
Even though I am going to be working this summer, there are still a lot of things I want to do! Here is my list in progress:
- Make crepes. I really want to make some delicious crepes this summer! So easy and delicious.
- Aprons. Sew some cute aprons for my housemates next year.
- Sew foot-warmers (bags of rice that you can heat in the microwave) for my housemates next year
- Go to the beach a lot!
- Throw a summer party with my friends (theme yet to be decided).
- Have a summer reading list of all the books I want to read this summer (suggestions would be welcomed).
- Keep up with my blog- I really want to be better about documenting my outfits/ shopping finds/ sewing projects/ drawings.
- Try some new vegetarian and vegan recipes that I can make next year and gather some cookbooks up for our new house.
- Go to the gym a lot and possibly some beach runs and swims- hopefully working at a personal training business will inspire me to keep up my exercise regimen.
- Dress well! I have a real job this summer so I am going to embrace this opportunity to dress well.
- Clean out my closet. Even though I wasn't living at home this year, somehow my closet was still full of clothes and shoes whenever I went home! How can this be? I need a serious closet cleaning and maybe a clothes exchange with my friends.
- Surf! I am going to try to do some surfing time with my gal pals and my dad.
- Visit Berkeley. I have a house in Berkeley this summer so I want to come visit and bring friends and my brother.
- Sew napkins, placemats, and curtains for my house next year. My mom and I have some serious sewing work to do. Bring out the serger!
- Make scarves. I want to go to Fabrics R Us and get some cheap silky fabric to make some fun scarves.
- Begin the hunt for furniture for my house next year!
- Make some comfy, stylish wrap-around skirts and dresses.
Wow! There are so many things I want to do and I know this list isn't close to completed. Three finals are keeping me away from summer! Almost there.

New Blog Design!
So I put together a new blog design. How do you like it?
It's finals next week for me and I am SO looking forward to summer! I'm ready to put on a swimsuit and go to the beach. Hopefully I will have some fun projects to post this summer- I am excited to get together with my sewing partner (my wonderful mom) and sew some fun new summer dresses and skirts!
