SCAD summer seminars-lindy


SCAD!!! what an amazing week. i wouldnt be lying if i said it was the best week of my summer. so my 2 classes i took were fashion and figure drawing. the fashion class was fantastic. i met the coolest people there. for me, the best part was to be able to meet people like myself; those who live and breathe fashion. and up to that point claire was the only other i had talked to. my figure drawing class was hilarious to say the least. my model( a 70 year old man wearing running shorts and a tank top) might have been the cutest thing i have ever seen. 



jus doin some modeling for claire, ya know.
im wearing a dress from h&m, the belt is thrifted, and the shoes(below also) are from nine west


SHOEZZ


this is the fashion room, quite an amazing place. my friend kates drawing is in the picture. i learned so much in this class. every day, my friends and i would guess what our teacher's assistant, tahnee, would be wearing. she is going to be famous some day soon, i swear. tahnee would come in wearing an ahhhdorable pencil skirt and heels. and our teacher lora wolf, used the word fierce in every other sentance. gahh how i love fashion people. 



the girls:
ariana is on the right, she was in fashion and jewelry design, which sounded like a super cool class. kate and kathleen are in the middle. theyre my long lost sisters, no jokes at all. kathleen and i ARE going to parsons next summer. i have never been more excited about anything in my life. 
im wearing a dress that i got at vacation( a really cool thrift store up the street) when i first saw it it was long and had a 40's housewife look to it, but my friend roxy helped me hem it one night and now its one of my new favs.



this is my drawing for the exhibition at the end of the week. hopefully some day i will be able to actually sew the dresses that i draw. 


aghhh i know this post is freaking long, BUT i have more to say. currently atlanta is melting because of the heat. still, in the back of my head i am dreaming of 1. FASHION WEEK! holler. 2. the scarves and coats and boots that i will soon be able to wear. i am such a sucker for f/w clothes. 

my essentials for this fall
1. leather jacket, i have dreamed of getting one for a while, and i finally purchased one, its grey and fabulous
2. over the knee boots, although theyre not mine yet, i have my eye peeled out for some. i envision suede. ahhh NICE. 
3. berets. theyre just so cute. i know everyone was wearing the floppy ones last fall. and i will still wear them, but a nice classy french looking wool beret is what im thinking of.
4.ever since i have been stalking BALMAINS s/s 09 line, i have been dying for a millitary jacket. since $11,000 is a hefty price for one, i purchased a different one from KAREN MILLEN at lenox.


sorry for all the blabbing, i will have lots more to say now that i can finally wear my own clothes to school. ahhhhhh
