CY TWOMBLY INSPIRED DESIGN FINAL

during this most recent fall quarter i took my first fashion design class and i absolutely love-love-loved every moment of it... i'm now officially minoring in fashion design thanks to this course!

for our final project we had to be inspired by an abstract piece of art and create a full avant garde garment based off of it.  i chose to be inspired by a piece by cy twombly (unfortunately the piece is untitled but you can see it here).  i love cy's work and he has surely become one of my favorite artists.  

i am so lucky to have such an amazing group of friends who helped me more than anything with this final.  my best friends emily, tori, jojo and victoria helped me so much.  emily was my beautiful model, tori photographed my garment to make it look better than it actually looks, jojo was a fabulous assistant during the shoot and victoria was always there for me for support and constructive criticism!!

NOW ON YOUTUBE

just your luck... me and my friends made a youtube account about our daily adventures that you can now subscribe too!!  the six of us are always up to no good, and by no good i mean we eat a lot of cupcakes and dance in our apartments to old men music at 2 a.m.  all of us pretty much have the viewpoint that life is all about adventure and trying new things and enjoying every moment.  recently we downloaded the app spark and have been filming our daily activities nonstop.  we wanted to share our videos with all our friends but couldn't on facebook so we started a youtube channel!! even though we've only had our videos up for less than like five days, the one of me giving everyone haircuts almost has 1000 views!!! ...that means we're famous right???

subscribe and watch our videos here!!



have a lovely weekend!! xo

CURRENTLY FLOATING TO...

so this morning i spent my time sleeping in, reading poetry, cooking a nice breakfast, sipping coffee with a dash on cinnamon, listening to music and writing down my thoughts.  as i sit here on pinterest, again on the search for more inspiration, i'm listening to my favorite playlist ·old men music· and thought i would tell you all my favorite songs right now.  first from this playlist then a few other i'm currently dancing around my kitchen to.
