Rain Rain Go Away.

Yesterday was my second F.I.T. class.  We had to design something inspired by super heros.  It was a fun  task.  I designed a dress with rings wrapped around it.  Her name was Saturn, obviously inspired by the planet.  I'm not exactly sure what her super power was.  I was thinking something along the lines of saving people from their commitment issues, hence the rings (like marital) but that's a little bit of a stretch, hehe.  The class was great but the weather was miserable & of course I missed my bus home and had to stand in the rain for 15-20 minutes.  I would have made it too if I had remembered right away that I needed to stop at the supply store to buy more markers, instead of walking to the corner and then walking back.  Now I feel even more sick than on Friday.  Anyways, this is what I wore.  (Ignore my messy room)

Grey lace tank-Kohl's; White tee-Garage; Pink Top-Urban Outfitters; Jeans-Foxy Lady; Flats-Forever 21; Broken Pearl Necklace-Forever 21

Some interesting(or not so interesting) facts about this outfit:

These are my favorite jeans because they are the opposite of jeggings.  Instead of leggings that look like jeans, these are jeans that look like leggings.  I've had them for a long time.  I used to wear them to my job.  They are so comfortable.  The shoes are my sisters and I wouldn't be surprised if they're still wet right now.  Thankfully she hasn't noticed they're gone.  She's never worn them before so I'm guessing she'd be upset if she knew I wore them in the pouring rain.

That's it for now <3

My Current Craving

Get ready for a long picture post..

Anna Sui

Alexander McQueen

Cynthia Rowley

Off the Runway

Forever 21

Marina Makaron Moscow

Urban Outfitters

There are SO many possibilities when it comes to bold and colorful prints.  I am IN LOVE with Anna Sui's Spring line.  It's so vibrant and young.  I wanted to post every piece in the collection here, but eleven will do.    One of my favorites was the opened, patterned dress.  Another was the blue jacket and skirt with white appliques and amazing gladiator sandals.

Ah, Alexander McQueen.  His death is such a tragedy.  Just look at his Spring collection!  I adore the abstract patterns.  I especially loved the asymmetrical piece.  It really makes you look twice.  The last royal blue piece is ethereal. (<--One of my vocabulary words, for English. ;D)

 I know I've been going on about how much I love color and vibrancy but, I do like the subtlety of Cynthia Rowley's collection.   The purple tones are really nice.  I'm also a fan of jumpsuits.  I find her take interesting.

I found the top from Forever 21 in the boutique section.  There were other variations of the pattern, as well. 

 I learned about Marina Makaron Moscow from another blogger, Marjorie.  Here's the link to her blog:

Shine By Three  There you can find an interview with the designer.

Anyway, the patterns Marina Makaron designs are absolutely beautiful.  The bow at the top is also one of her designs.

Urban Outfitters never lets me down. (:  I love the geometric print on the first one and as for the second one, I've always been a fan of florals.

Finally!

Yay! I finally opened my Etsy shop.  I can't write much because I have to study for finals and I have dance in a little bit.  I'll post some items that I'm not selling on Etsy, here.  I might make some similar items to sell.
<--I made this bow with a pattern from creativeyarn.blogspot.com.


Here's a headband who's pattern I also found on Creative Yarn.

Okay, I have to go but please check out my shop!  I've put a link for it on this page.
