East Coast Styling

It may be puzzling at times to figure out what items you could wear in your free time when you have a lot of professional suits, shoes, shirts and dressy outfits. There is an evident need for items that may be worn on the weekends, to the grocery store, or on vacations. The items I am envisioning are not a pair of sweat pants and a t shirt!  I am talking about items that are very casual but when worn the person wearing the outfit looks put together, sharp, and comfortable! That is where I come in...On a hot July weekend my sister, her friend, and I went shopping! Similar to the outfit above; I picked out different pieces that may look really well together. The dress has a V neck, empire waist, with a loose fitted torso. It is made of breathable and light weight fabric. When it is well into the 90s this is the kind of dress you would love to wear. The scarf is a contrasting floral fabric from the dress. Combining Tye dye and floral prints with similar color palettes like the navy and lighter blue compliment each other. The wedges are gold metallic and can dress up a casual dress way more than a pair of flip flops. Jute trimmed or cork or both great options. Since the footwear is gold it would be great to tie in that tone through the other accessories. So one of the bracelets that would work well with the wedges have tiny gold beads that have a touch of gold without taking attention away from anything else.

fire hydrant

This is probably one of my favorite photos of New York so far. It was taken just a few days ago. It was very hot outside, well into the 90s. I love this picture because it reminds me of an old time New York movie scene where the fire hydrant is just spewing water everywhere. I love seeing the joy these girls have while approaching the water..it is evident without even seeing their faces. Even feeling the mist coming my way on a hot day like that was refreshing.

No matter how much technology advancements we have...it is really the simple things like a fire hydrant busting or running through a sprinkler 50 times that really make summmer, and childhood memories fill our lives with overflowing joy.

Art and Science working together

It is interesting watching The Pixar story documentary because I love learning about history. I also enjoyed learning about the grassroots of 3D animation and the Pixar company. The viewer is able to see the transformation from 2D animation to 3D, where using computers as a new medium of art was a journey. The outcome of that journey was unknown at that time and exciting.

almost here

Well the time is almost here to go back to New York. This is a little doodle I made :P I am excited to experience new things and to learn more. This trip will be different than the last but just as enjoyable i'm sure. I will soon be making updates of the fashion and sites I encounter.

~These are a few of my favorite pictures from my last trip

operation: free fall

My friend Sadia went skydiving yesterday, and ohh what a feat that is!! I thought these were awesome pictures taken of her by a fellow skydiver. From this view she could see Lake Huron and Canada in the early morning. Free falling from that altitude isn't necessarily my cup of tea. It is one of those experiences that not everyone is willing to try but it is also an experience that I am sure is amazing. Amazing: the feeling of overcoming something, the excitement, the adrenaline, the gorgeous views, and knowing you helped someone in need...

~The purpose of this experience was to raise funds for a non profit organization SOAR( Speak out about Rape) for raped victims and sexually assaulted women. She raised money so that anything they need to start the process of healing/putting it behind them (psychological, physical even judicial expenses) could be paid for. Part of it also goes to MSU raped students.
