Happy 101

Hithere bloggers (:  So, last week I received my first two awards in the same night.  I found it funny because so did two other bloggers who I adore and follow.  I'd like to thank Tuesdai Noelle & Sammy for rewarding me (:

This award is called the happy 101 blogger award and the rules are:

1.)When you have received this award you must thank the person that awarded you this in the new post.

2.) Name the 10 things that make you happy

3.) Pass this award onto 10 other bloggers and inform the winners.

Things that make me happy:

1) My dogs

Even though Oreo and Brownie can drive me crazy, I love them. (:

2) My family

haha, um yea.  This is an aberration from my brother, Thomas's, normal behavior.  That's why I love this picture.

My sister, Amanda, is my best friend.  We laugh together, fight together, cry together, and then laugh again.

I love my mommy (:  She's the kindest and most considerate person I've ever met.

My dad kind of lives in his own world at times but I love him for it.

I cannot express how thankful I am to have such a supporting family. 

3) My best friend

Tiffany and I have been friends since kindergarten and we've gotten even closer since highschool started.  No matter what we've been through, and we have lost a number of "friends" along the way, we've stuck together.  We find the same things hysterical when everyone else just stares at us, wondering what's going on.  Hehe, I love her.

4) My sketchbook

I hate reposting pictures, but I don't have any new sketches at the moment!

5) Frappachinos

Yum :P

6) New York City

Living so close to the fashion capital of the world is amazing. <3

7) Inspirational Designers

Balenciaga

Anna Sui

Stella McCartney

Jill Stuart

Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel

& Of course, Alexander McQueen.

8) Elephants

Are they not adorable?  Haha, and elephants are very smart.  I hear they have a really good memory, which I don't have so I admire that.

9) My Lovely Followers

Duh, I mean this blog would not be the same with out my pretty little readers!

10)  My Camera

Must I explain this one?  I think all bloggers and people interested in fashion can understand.

Now, I'd like to pass this award onto the following blogs:

Wishful Thinking

Heythere (: You could probably tell from these designs that I can't wait for spring!  This feels like the longest winter ever.  This weekend is supposed to be really nice, though.  

& I'm actually really happy with how the jumpsuit came out (:

(I really need to get my scanner fixed! ewkfhjjfn!)

So, I got a haircut today & got my highlights touched up.  Jack, my crazy and lovable hairdresser, also added a different color to my bangs.  I like the change ;D (even though it may not be very noticeable in these photos)

Tomorrow is my first day at F.I.T. (yay!) which means I have to wake up super early D: but that's okay.  It's worth it ;)

The Result of my Regents Break,

Oh, and by the way, please don't copy my designs. Kaythanks <3

Where flowers bloom, so does hope.

Hi! (: So, I just got home from Church.  I absolutely loved the flower display this week & I felt inspired to design this.  I had the whole dress planned out before I got home.  Usually I just have some sort of idea of what I want when I start sketching and see what comes of it.  Anyway, here it is.

Hithere.  Today's 

weather inspired me to design this. ;D  I've always loved yellow raincoats & rain boots because they're so bright! Yet they're worn on the most dull and boring days.  Kind of ironic, I guess. Hehe

This one is by far, one of my all time favorites.^

To be honest, it was actually meant to be a dress patterned with assorted metro cards ;D

This one is also one of my favorites.^
