new ideas!!

so i was shopping the other day in wilmington and realized that it would be really cool to own my own fashion boutique with designer clothes...but sell at a reasonable/affordable price:) i'm not the kind of girl to spend 230 dollars on a damn shirt or 275 for a pair of marc jacobs sunglasses...even though they're so-o sick and dream of having them lol.

i don't think having "style" means everything you wear be a famous name brand...example, being a waitress i notice things like this...one girl walked in with a louis vuitton bag, key chain, wallet, and sun glasses...um that's a little too much for me. definitly too matchy matchy lol. it's like...wow girl you definitly are super cool and fashionable because you have all four lol. honestly, most everything i own is under 30 dollars...don't get me wrong i have some valuable things but i don't go overboard. also, when i shop i don't look for the expensive/high end brands. i can't stand girls like that...it bothers the hell out of me. i'm not bragging either...but friends, family, and randoms compliment me on my style all the time. i'm sure from a glance people think everything i'm wearing is high priced when i get most of my things from forever 21, urban outfitters, target, and rugged warehouse(which some people don't know about).

anyways...here are some pictures of some boutiques. need to start saving...it's going to be hard lol.

i wish i had more time on my hands...

i went from posting stuff everyday to every like 10 days...i'm kinda disappointed but i really have been super busy. not only with school but my job...they've fired 5 people within the last week and a half because they just didn't like them...so that means everything is gonna fall on me and i'm expected to cover theyre damn work. pisses me off...but whatever i guess i'll be happy when the next pay check comes lol.

other then that...it's been a pretty good month ha. no more drama...hopefully. i've come to the conclusion that i don't have time for any distractions. like lame dudes that think i believe what they're telling me...i mean i just laugh at it. i find it very very humerous. i don't even care anymore...whatever he does won't bother me or effect my mood what so ever. lol. yesterday i read this girls post that really made perfect sense...i mean everything she writes makes perfect sense and i have a lot of respect for her. in some way it might have seemed like i didn't like her but in the end she makes perfect sense and i respect her so much even though we've never met lol...kinda sketchy.

anwyays, i've got lots and lots of work to do but i'll be back soon lol. maybe....

Moving?

last night and today i've really been thinking about what i really wanna do lol. it's definite that i'm keeping my major and going to design school but i'm thinking about switching schools. originally, i was supposed to be attending the art institute in charolette but there was no set living situation there. so i ended up staying in raleigh:( don't get me wrong...i'm enjoying school here at home but i feel like i need to be challenged more. it's not that i'm second guessing what i want to study, it's just that maybe i want to experience something different and not be around any distractions.

my mom and i had lunch today and were talking about transferring. as of right now...i definitly will be transferring to the art institute in charlotte. i love charlotte and am looking forward to the change. yes...it's somewhat similar to raleigh but better lol. i'm hoping this all works out. we both agreed that i should've stuck with charolette from the beginning but i don't know what made me want to stay here. the interior design program at my school is fairly new and i can't connect with anybody. i mean everybody has there own "style" and taste but i feel like nobody here understands what i see or what is appealing to me. basically, everyone has that safe/conservative taste and look. i mean i don't really care if they like what i design or not because it's my work and design. i don't think this program here is the right fit for me...i know everything that we're learning right now and that's boring lol. also, things that every interior designer should know that i've studied hard for in high school...we don't even learn that here. like rivit and cad...i have yet to use either of those programs here and that bugs me. nobody knows how to draw a floor plan or even start one lol. it's annoying because i feel like i'm a step a head of everybody else but i'm being pulled back to everybody elses level when i don't need to be...it's very frustrating.

SCAD was another option...one of my best friends olivia goes to art school in savannah and loves it. she's so talented and i think one of the reasons why we are such good friends is because we connect on that artistic/creative level lol. it's funny because we love the same clothes...have very similar styles and have a similar taste as well. i miss her:( sadly, SCAD is out of the question as of right now...

at the orientation in charolette...i got the best vibe from the students and professors. also, they actually took time to look through my portfolio that i worked my ass off to get just right. this school didn't really take time to look at any of my work...that was weird. i just kind of blew it off...which was not like me. obviously, i'm unhappy with my school choice but that will be changing soon...i'm hoping lol. this school was really my only option because at the time my parents couldn't afford out of state expenses. now, it looks like i'll be getting a loan to leave lol.


oh so last night at olive garden...i was telling my friend parker how much i loved studio apartments. i've always wanted one...i don't know why but i just do lol. so here are a few pictures of different studio apartments...

It's Good

the past couple of weeks have been a whirl wind but amazing. i'm staying busy and have been more focused than ever. even though my projects have been getting more and more difficult...i'm enjoying every minute. i've always enjoyed a challenge when it comes to about anything:) it's funny because about 3 weeks ago i thought i was gonna go crazy because i was so annoyed/stressed out with work, school, and certain people. now, i've never been happier. maybe because i'm actually taking my sponsors advice and actually listening to somebody for a change. i'm focusing on the right things...myself and what i need to get done. of course i still have my relationships with friends and boys and they're going very well lol:) yes, some might be far away but i can manage...i've got lots of shit to do here anyways and i'm not committed to anybody. my best friend just recently broke up with her boyfriend and i'm so excited because we're both single. i mean i'm not committed anyone and i'm glad:) it's always more fun being single anyways lol. speaking of...jaquelin and whitney will be back this weekend! can't wait...i think like 10 girls including me are gonna go to my beach house in wilmington this weekend...sounds like trouble lol.

so maybe i need to do some shopping for some bathing suits? i have plently but knowing me i'm gonna go out an look anyways lol.


i haven't posted any art work in a while...but i found this really cool illustration by Kat Heyes that i love...
