What is good design?

My first project at Kansas University! so excited! Well basically we had to pick an object which we find is "Good Design." After careful consideration I went straight to the thing I used most. My sunglasses. Here are some drawings to start off with my explanation on why I find sunglasses to be a good design.

and just because mac books are so fun!...

Sunglasses, their basic purpose is to protect our eyes from bright sunlight, and high energy visible light. They are a good design because they are something light and portable that sits perfectly on our noses and is held in place by our ears. The lens's are big enough to cover our eyes from light all around us. The shading on the lens also helps us to see clearly through them. There are many different designs of sunglasses. They come in many different shapes as a fashion trend, without taking away the purpose of the protective part of the design.

In respect of fashion week!

are you ready? well it's here whether your ready or not! I'm so excited! I love to see whats new and fresh in the world! unfortunately with school I can't keep up as much as I would like to with it, but no fear! I will post some of my favorite outfits from the wonderful fashion capitals of paris, milan, los angeles, new york and london! but in respect of fashion week I think we should all remember the people who make fashion so vital and awesome. Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the 5 fashion icons everyone should know.


1. Audrey Hepburn

Audrey's style out of the big screen was so effortless. She knew how to make an outfit so plain into something so delicate and chic.Audrey's favourite casual style was a pair of skinny pants, a turtle neck and some flat shoes - all in black. She wore this combination often as she went to and from the studios.

Audrey Style essentials: A white shirt, A pair of flats, a little black dress, a long scarf, and a fitted suit

2. Kate Moss

Kate has her fair share or sporting different types of shoes. Heels, boots, flats, what ever it is she knows how to pair a nice pair of shoes with a great outfit. This is probably the reason why she got Best Dressed Woman of the Decade, and has recently landed the cover of Vogue Magazine. She still finds time for business ventures like her Topshop line and recording an album. (The latter is perhaps a rumor.)

Kate Moss's 10 fashion rules

1.Do Denim Edgily

2. Make it look effortless

3. Go for Quality

4. Be a dress code rebel

5. Keep Prints timeless

6. Wear it tight to the torso

7. Go for authenticity

8. Focus on clothes

9. Mix and mismatch

10. When in doubt buy diamonds

3. Sarah Jessica Parker/ Carrie Bradshaw

Anyone who disagree's doesn't know fashion. Bradshaw was the fashion of the early 21st century. Sarah Jessica Parker is the fashion of the now. 

Carrie Bradshaw. This picture is my absolute favorite! why? because when you look at her outfit its just a tank top with a pair of pants. What makes this outfit so elegant is her accessories. The pearls! how could you not love the pearls?

need I say more? 

Get the look!

4. Rachael Bilson

You may find this random but I find her stunning. I have never seen Rachael in a outfit less then perfect. Why? because she knows her accessories.

Get the look!

5. Emma Watson

Besides the fact that she is a full time college student, she also did work in Harry Potter as the intelligently beautiful Hermione Granger, and is currently working on her own fashion line. I decided to save the best for last.

Happy Fashion week 2011!

winter is approaching

I love sundays! They are just so awesome. I don't know about you but I love getting dressed up, getting coffee and going to church. Nothing is better than an excuse to get dressed up. Today was just a little bit more special because today was the start of the weather being 10 degrees cooler. I walked outside to get some brunch and all of a sudden wished I put a cardigan on! So in excitement for the winter season I thought I'd put up some of the new jackets and coats that I hope to sport from the very awesome shopnastygal.com. If you've never heard of it I suggest you go look.

I think fur coats are going to make a combat. Just watch

Love this! The fringed look doesn't have to end with summer!

I know this doesn't really have much to do with fall, but isn't this outfit awesome? I'm all of a sudden in need of retail therapy.

everyone should take a look at this website

So usually when I get home and need time to pass by I like to search the web for new and fun websites/blogs. In search for a new accessories site I came across this one. www.gemegjewelry.com. Its a site based in arizona where all the accessories are handcrafted, and one of a kind. Not to expensive which I like. Just purchased my first piece so go and check it out

This will be mine! I have a thing for turquoise

Aren't these beautiful?!

Today's thoughts

Today (even though is only about 12:45) I have had so many ideas. This includes Vintage Dorm ideas, or this can also be for living rooms bedrooms, etc. I hope you find this as fun as i do!

I found this picture after I saw some old vogue magazines at this antique mall here in Lawrence, Kansas. Ive actually started this project for my dorm wall (pictures to be up soon). You can easily do this, if you don't have a local antique mall, by going on google and typing in Old vintage vogue covers, and putting those photos into photoshop and messing around with the saturation a bit. Then go a local craft store ( Michaels, Hobby Lobby you got the idea) get some cheap black or brown frames, and some off white paint,and a sponge. get the sponge and put some paint on them and sponge paint the frames. they should look kind of like this

This was the best example I could find. 

Then just put the vogue covers inside and there you go. You have yourself a very awesome dorm/living room/bedroom. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do! Pictures will be posted of my finished project!

starting out in a town far from my city.

I'm going to be starting on my second week at Kansas University. Go Jayhawks! woo hoo! So far it's been bittersweet. I have the freedom, and will power to do whatever I please, but after I finish the loads of homework my professors assign to me. Don't get me wrong, I love my classes, but the homework is time consuming. I'm majoring in Interior Design, and I love it. Yes its hard work, but in the end its nice to think about all the awesome things I will get to do as a adult...well much older adult. Hope you all enjoy!

How great are these colors together. Its covered from head to toe with different colors but it seems to work completely well

Besides the fact that I adore Audrey Hepburn her couch from her movie Breakfast at Tiffany's is to die for. I must purchase for future apartment

This door has such a homie feel to it

The colors! is anybody else just completely starstruck on how great these colors are?!
