The next person I'd like to share with you is my bad ass roommie Gina. Gina and I met our first year at school and instantly clicked. We discovered last year that in some way we were related... CRAYZAYY! Gina studies Intimate Apparel and is a master at her craft. When it comes to her style and design aesthetic she is such an individual. I have the utmost respect for her breaking the mold of what lingerie should look like.  Her designs are intense and super sexy. Keep an eye out for this chick, she's got talent! 

Gina layers a lot of her  clothes and always mixes and matches outfits.
Oh yeah, and she rocks a sleeve. This girl is super awesome and I am so happy she is my friend let alone my cousin or something! She's my favorite Vegan!

Look at that bad boy!

HAPPY SATURDAY YA'LL

Saturday morning might be the best morning of all mornings. I don't have much to say because all I can think about is how freakin' BEAUTIFUL it is outside! So get out there people, eat, shower if you have to, smile, play with a puppy, eat more, go on an adventure or whatever and just relax. I think we forget to do that sometimes.

Ask me why today/yesterday was so awesome...go ahead ask me!  Yesterday I helped my dear friend, Maggie, move into her new apartment. Yes it was far, and yes this woman has accumulated so much STUFF in her lifetime,  and yeah, no one wants to help ANYONE move. But it was so much fun getting to unpack her new room and finding all the "lady" stuff she has. She purchased the most charming beaded dress from a vintage store. It is super sparkly and and decked out in pearly/silvery beads and baby sequins. Obviously we instagramed that ish before we hung it up on her wall.

After spending countless hours of untangling necklaces and inhaling what could be considered a lifetime supply of girl scout cookies, our lovely friend Sam graced us with her presence. I've only met her three times but she is great. She's tall, gorgeous, has a great head of hair and made me cry because she had us laughing so hard! Ate more cookies, some broccoli, chocolate and Doritos, (I know...don't judge) needless to say my poor little belly was not happy with me. So we ventured down to Sam's apartment, which by the way...is so cute. We drank Smooth Move, (be careful, it tastes kind of funky and you'll be in the bathroom for a while... Smooth Move... Get it?)  read inspiring quotes and talked about the happiest days of our lives until we passed out.

Sam has an amazing closet, I just love all of her clothes! Everything she wears is so flattering on her.
She has the most amazing Lauren Moffatt Coat!

LISTEN UP!

I generally get asked six standard questions from people who know I am in menswear.
The responses I tend to give are usually accompanied by an awkward chuckle and an eye roll. I sometimes think my eyes will roll so far into the back of my head that I could pass out. I never have, but it's always a possibility.

Questions:

1. "Woah, that's cool... Why menswear?" (Pretty basic, this doesn't get an eye roll.)
2. "No wayyyyyyy!? How do I look?" (The drunk guy hitting on me at a party... Not that this happens very often, sadly, but when it does, this is it.)
3. "When I get married, will you make my husband's tux?!?!" (My girl-friends)
4. "When can we buy your shit in the stores?" (My guy-friends)
5. "Can you make me a smoking jacket or a trench coat?" (Once again, my guy-friends)
6. "Did you get a job yet?" (My Parents) 

Answers:

1. I tend to feel like menswear found me, I always wanted to be in fashion. It's what I sort of gravitated to when applying to colleges. I met with a college recruiter who said I had a masculine portfolio and she put me through to the menswear programs at different schools. (There's much more to that story but that's generally all I get to say given the person's attention span.)
2. ...awkward chuckle and an eye roll...
3. Of course
4. I don't know, 10 years? 
5. ...awkward chuckle, eye roll, will you pay me?
6. ...awkward chuckle and an eye roll...

Annnnnnnd go!

I'm not 100% sure what this blog will be about, most likely fashion, food, videos, photography, images, MYSELF *sigh* narcissism at its finest! I'm totally kidding, this blog won't be just about me. I'll blog about people, places, things, etc etc.

I figured I'd start with some doodles. I think since I do go to fashion school I guess it's fitting that I post something... well... fashion related. I graduated last year in Menswear Design which is above all my greatest passion in life. 

Menswear will be making an appearance shortly, so in the mean time, this is me.
