Sick Headphones

~Sof

So Shea has these wicked!!! headphones that I had to use for the photoshoot. When you listen to music with these things it's like a huge speaker system right at your ears. Great when you're playing Benny Benassi, which I was listening to at the time when we were taking photos. She also took the pictures, always turn out Ahhmazing! Yes and I finally got a pair of python heels! And I got an outfit for the concert tomorrow and made four new necklaces which I'll have to make a post out of. I couldn't sleep again! So now I just go crazy making things. Eh If we lived together we definetly would get little sleep. lol KK One more month of school and we'll see! I recommend going to Target!! Oh my goodness Sof I went crazy! They have the Mqueen collection and new dresses, shoes, all too many choices. I want to go back and get three more things for sure. But that's where I got the dress for tomorrow's concert!

Hey Dan Dan

Its been a crazy week but you already know that. I'm starting a fashion club at smith. It's called Fashion Politics. It's half discussion and half diy projects. The discussions of the fashion industry are about the controversies involving consumerism and materialism but also self expression and cultural movements. There are definately negatives and positives about the industry, and we should understand them. Anyway, my roomie, Emily Hardy, was truly inspired during this photo escapade. Her photos were creatively charged with a blend of perpective, movement, and lighting. Thank you so much Em for taking photos for me, you're the best. Hope you're having a fantastically amazing weekend!

Dries Van Noten $390

Tan Leather and Black and White Fabric with Silver Buckle

Ralph Lauren Clutch The Ricky Mindaudier $2,995

The clutch is custom made rhodium lated brass and champagne hued lizard

So cute! It reminds me of a camera in a bag a tad but the color is unique and is unnatural looking.

Ralph Lauren Dylan Bag $1,995

French calfskin made in Italy

The curvature of the overlap adds a feminine touch while the brass and calfskin are perfectly balanced. And yet again the camera looking application adds an edgey tone.

Ralph Lauren $225

Crystal and Gold Tassel Bracelet 18k Gold and Clear Crystal. It closes magnetically.

Ralph Lauren $115

Serana Equestrian Boots

Can't you picture these boots on a classic actress I don't know like Katharine Hepburn. yea.

Giuseppe Zanotti $625

Python Printed Peep-Toe in Turquoise

Since I love the color blue to death I though these were so cool. Not to mention the whole python thing going on. And lately I have been dying for snake stuff, weird, but it's driving me crazy.

Ralph Lauren $89
Menswear Inspired Calra Metallic Leather Loafer. These reminded of the good old Academy days. Since I altered our old ones I think I'm going to spray paint mine and change em again.

Chloe Ankle Tie Wedge Sandals $495

Chloe's shoes never let anyone down. They are so perfect! These wedge sandals were one of my favorite of the collection, even though there were too many to choose from.

I finally finished my skirt today and altered my jeans. It's hot as Hades here! We're all dying but it's funny at the same time. I can't wait to go back home and do fashion projects with you! And ask if outfits look great or not lol the good stuff!!! Love.

Evanescence Videos

Here are some of their videos that I can't live without more importantly thier music is thrilling. I definetly know you have seen quite a few but some songs and videos people haven't really heard. So just thought I'd put up some fav music of mine.

Evanescence was found by Amy Lee and Ben Moody. They met at a youth camp lol. They both write and edit the songs. Everyone knows that Amy is a pianist and the lead singer. Moody is actually the lead gutarist but later left the band to do his own solo act helping other musicians. The name was chosen by the band because Evanescence means disappearance or fading away. Lee liked the name so much because "It is mysterious and dark, and places a picture in the listeners' mind."

More music and info coming eventually.

Aaron De Mey

~Sof

Aaron De Mey's God given talent is his creativity, particularly with makeup. Many of his designs remind me of makeup that could have been in the movie Interview with a vampire, but not as lurid as the movie it is rather more glamourously dark. He has a new line Pink Irreverence featured in Lancome makeup. He is passionate about helping women feel confident and strong. He researches heroic women throughout time and they become his inspiration for many of his ideas. I have to get his lip gloss. It is Fantastic!!!!

Hannah my suite mate thought of the title and I loved it! Shea my other suite mate took the pictures which turned out so great. I love taking pictures with her because she has cool ideas and take good photos. I started making my skirt piece for my fashion class and met another student in my class who is holding a fashion show in October and asked me to be the stylist and be a model and do the makeup!!!! Ahhh! I know I am so happy! It was fantastic. I have been looking around and thinking of where we can take pictures and have the perfect places in mind.
