I am in love with that belt and I wish I got the zebra print one that I saw. Darn it, it's most likely been bought already but I think tomorrow I'll pop in and see if it's still there. It was so humid out side. The heat was not the issue but the humidity made me burn up all day and even at work. I can't wait to go to Texas and be in just heat with no humidity. Some people think I'm crazy but I just can't stand the sticky weather in Tennessee. i'm also looking forward to going to Buffalo Exchange in Dallas! Stoked beyond Stoked.

Learning about the 50 designers

As I was walking into the library, my main goal was to print something off and be on my merry way. As I was heading to the computer lab the cover art of a book caught my eye. I haven't checked anything out from the public library in years and I figured I would see what this book was about when I was done printing.

After finishing up at the computer lab I went to the bookshelf and picked up the book. 50 Fashion Designers You Should Know by Simone Werle

It made me think that people like Nini Ricci, "Coco", Main Bocher, and along with other designers who have passed away no longer have their true ideas coming out. That thought went into my mind as I was flipping through, looking at all the lovely designers and their creations. Then I came across people like Martin Margiela and Alexander McQueen, asking myself "What the hell are these model's wearing?" I know the point is to grab peoples attention with these outrageous ideas of clothing and it has to be for show but really? 

My take on the fashion world differs from people who live in it. I think I'll just dip my toes in it and not venture to far down the rabbit whole. Most of the designers look like they've taken too many trips on acid and lost their minds on the sketch pad.

Vagabond Dandy Store

I recently came across this beauty of a website a few days ago while looking up ideas for patterns. I've always have been in love with the rock n' roll rockabilly style. From poodle skirts to strapless dresses with flowers on them. To pomps to victory rolls, I'm all about the 40s and 50s. I'm an old soul, I crave the classic cars from the 30s to mid 70s. I guess I have my mom to thank for that, appreciate the old things that people have put more time into.

Vagabond Dandy has an amazing selection for gentlemen and ladies. Really cool pieces of artwork, music, and nice accessories. So, go eat your heart out.

I thought it would be cool to give a tour of Murfreesboro, my home town. This tour would be taken with picture and I'm not sure how many pictures. They will be made into a movie, a movie with music! The movie that has these said pictures will be shot after shot after shot. They will not be done in one day but in a series. While someone else is driving and I'm in the passenger seat or while I'm walking down the street. I'm pretty excited.

The other project is the Many Faces of People. This will feature people that I know and they too will be take not as a video but as single pictures. If you have no idea what I am talking about, think of a flip book. Now you got it? AWESOME! Anyway, thats just a few ideas floating in my head.
