Beautiful Day

With my internship in place and my fashion show over, I finally feel like I can relax. Today just happened to be the perfect day to do just that, I checked out a book from the library Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingslover and read it outside. It was a gorgeous day and I was glad that I could enjoy it. All the beautiful sunshine also helped two of my herbs to sprout, both the Basil and the Sage. I'm still waiting for the Rosemary to sprout up.

Fashion Show

I had my fashion show Saturday and everything went very well. I didn't fall on the runway and people seemed to like my dress and the song I chose. I made a nightgown and a summer dress, the song that I chose was the inspiration for the dress. It was "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" by She and Him.


Less than a month 'til I graduate!

*In the picture: Me and some of my friends backstage at the fashion show. I made the two dresses on the right.

I got it, I got it, I.GOT.IT.

I found out today that I got the Visual Display Internship at Anthropologie in Charlotte and I am soooo excited. I'm going to learn so much and I really can't wait!

100 Thing Challenge

Lately I've been thinking a lot about materialism and even more about simplifying my life. This could be because I'm getting ready to move and I'm realizing just how many little knick knacks I've accumulated in my lifetime. Still, no matter the reason, I feel like I need to simplify my life and get rid of the clutter. I saw this thing online called the "100 Thing Challenge", basically you try to cut back your possessions to 100 things that you actually need. You can make it as strict as you want it to be, you don't have to count every single book that you own as individual possessions, you could just label one of the 100 as "my book collection", etc. I'm far from finished, but here's the start of my list.
1. Wood Trunk
2. Dresser
