sew in need of some new.

Zac Posen just debuted his 2009 Pre-Fall Collection and it has 1940's written all over it. From the broad shoulder pads and sailor hats, to the scoop necks, fringe, high-waisted belts and bright red lipstick. So vintage, yet very modernized. I have noticed that designers have really been inspired by fashions in the past; especially at the SAG Awards with all the side-shouldered dresses and deep rich bold colors. I like the fall previews, but all I see is trends and designs coming back, and honestly, I want to see new silhouettes, new cuts, new patterns.. not the same idea modernized. Posen's collection is beautiful, but come on, something new, please. 

sew behind.

Daaammmnnnn... what a couple of weeks it has been. Between school, and boys, and my own crazy self, I have not been able to catch a breath til now. I was in one of my fashion classes last thursday, and my prof said "one shouldn't start a blog unless one keeps up with it everyday, and is truly creative.. or else one comes off flakey, and god knows you don't want that." haha, ohhh myyy. I then dropped my hand.. was not about to mention I had a fashion blog, seeing as though, in her world, I'm flakier than snowflakes.. I then had a revelation.. I AM going to keep up with my blogging and fashion, and hopefully it kills me. And I'll definitely have more time on my hands seeing as though Statesboro called in like a million and one cops for "operation blue thunder" - undercovers at the bars, crashing parties, roadblocks at 4:00 everyday. Ridiculous.. so I'm staying inside. Or just pushing that advance on my fake. 

Well, here's an update on what's been happenin...

My girlfriends threw me an AMAZING birthday party at my apartment. I truly love them! It was bangin with keg stands, ice luge, and then I made a skating rink in the kitchen. haha. It was hella fun. I can't believe they even pulled it off.. because I so have this 6th sense about people and normally know when something's up.. but damn, spidey sense has gotten weak, and they totally blew me away.  Thank you girls:) OH, and I definitely got my leather jacket, loves it!

As of Wednesday and yesterday, I am officially a member of SAGE (Students Association for a Greener Earth) and 100% vegan. I've always had an itch in my brain when I would throw plastic bottles away, eat the meat/products of animals that have been abused and tortured just to fill my stomach. Well, by joining and going green mind body and soul, I feel as if I have scratched that itch. Call me a freak, I'd rather hear hippie, but I feel totally pure. :)

As for the boy bogus.. eh, they can always be replaced with other men - Marc Jacobs, Roberto, Ralph Lauren.. and bottles of wine and Mr. Patron. but I do still heart SMC.<3

Well, that's pretty much it. 

I'm trying to find a new style..but I'm missing a piece... my long wavy hair , so I'm having hella stutter thoughts and commitment issues. I was called "emo" the other day by someone obviously ignorant to fashion.. I just like to wear black, and a lot of it, fashionably. :)

Anyway, my mind is collected and it's back to tapping away on my mac.

peace & love.

sew chic.

My oh so graceful and chic grandmother in the 1960's. She is such an inspiration to me. I love this picture of her. 

sew hopelessly shoelessly in love.

Well, as you know, I'm seriously obsessed with shoes. From 1" to 6" in every color, in every style. They are my passion for fashion. I'd love to make my own footprint in the shoe industry one day. Well, my mother bought me this calendar for christmas, this shoe calendar (SHOES-page.a.day-gallery calendar-2009), and everyday for every month, a different pair of shoes is displayed. So, since school has started back up and I finally feel back at peace in my room, I figured I'd share the shoes on my blog. (It's weird how I can find such creativity with the shut of my door..just sitting on the floor..listening to nothing but my thoughts&ideas..in just one long stream of crazy collective consciousness) Well, all these shoes simply inspire me and hopefully they'll inspire you, from head to toe ;)

 I soo esscited for turning 20! I won't be a little girl anymore, and one year closer to my death age of 21!

Even though my birthday will be falling on a Sunday.. no problem with me. I'll be having a 5 day/night party fest thanks to my man MLK. :) I cannot wait! Oh! I need a birthday suit . . . and a lot of booze. 

Pretty simple wish list; just a leather jacket and leather booties. I mean.. I got everything for christmas:) And my photoshoot, rent and tuition was included, not fair, but thanks mommy. I do want to be a major ricer and black out my taillights and get some black rims.. but I'll be begging for that for a while.. 

Anyway, the countdown has begun! 

sew cocky.

PEACOCK IS EVERYWHERE

sew sticking to 2 wheels.

Sooo as I'm sitting here in my mom's office waiting on agents, that carry my mere career and success in the palms of their cruel hands, to get back from lunch . . and waiting for others to hopefully call me back . . I have seen almost every kid in the neighborhood riding a unicycle. Yes, a one-wheeled bike. Since when was a UNICYCLE on a kid's christmas wish list. AND I've seen a couple people's facebook statuses saying "riding my unicycle." Excuse me, but what the fuck? Is this some new 'popular kid' fad that's sweeping the nation? I hope not . . And what, are they going to spin plates on top of sticks now too? u-geeegha.

Well, 2008 was indeed a year full of many style trends...

What shall 2009 bring? I hope a lot more black, and layering of it. :)

SEW BACK!

OH EM GEE.. You know you're behind on blogging when you officially have to sign in again . . 

Well, the month of December was undoubtingly a crazy yet gloomy month. A lot happened; speeding ticket that I definitely won't be able to pay . . not-so-exciting black Christmas . . the death of a close fashionista buddy . . my mom becoming ill . . humiliating New Years . . gaining like 10 pounds . . having absolutely no dollar bills in the bank . .  and just the overall depressing mood that's been brought by the cold air and dark days. I don't think I've really seen the sun shine in quite a while. Nor have I even been on top of my fashion browsing..which is depressing nonetheless. But December did bring some smiles; successful photoshoot with my new and improved agent . . rekindling old relationships . . and the best part honestly, hanging with my younger brother. 

So, all in all, I've been too busy, not that happy, not so interested, not really anything for a while . . and my blog hurt the most from it. 

HOWEVER, with the new year and new attitude, high spirits,and huge kick in the ass I've given myself,  I'm back to blogging and shall be doin it well. :) I promise! So STAY TUNED! <3 

" This year went by in the usual way. Some friends lost, some friends made. Money was spent, money was definitely not saved. But in the end, we're all going to be okay. "

sew ugly.

I had to chop my hair off for my photoshoot... =(

6 1/2 inches.. gone.

i'm going to be crying for the next year til it grows back out again. 

sew brunette.

The beginning of my own line!!

S.E.W. BRUNETTE

blouse & skirt made by ME =)

soo they're pretty basic, nothing extraordinary.. but I'm just astonished and proud of myself that I actually hand-made and sewed this outfit. I have such a strong sense of accomplishment. 

However, after many long hours in the sewing lab and needle stab marks all over my fingers from ridiculous whip stitching, I now know I definitely DO NOT want to be a fashion designer. Making clothes is such a pain in the ass, and I just don't have the patience nor the passion. 

Shoe design (as shown: BEBE) is without a doubt my cup of tea =)

Well, this is just the beginning! So exhilarating. 

Check out Stephanie's outfit toooo!!

sew hilarious.

Man girdles = mirdles

I mean, can you imagine going out on a date with a guy or meeting a guy at the bar...things hit off well...take him back to your place...take his clothes off...and he's wearing one of these!! awkward!! or even seeing a guy with a boner with this on.. haha ;)

sew in love again.
