New Love!

THE LOVE ME NOTS! I absolutely love them!

This band from Arizona has a 60's sound mixed with surf rock/garage. It's described as a fuzzy, farfisa-drenched spy rock, like it's 1963 again.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Buon anno a tutti! Auguri <3

I hope your New Years Eve was just splendid! I celebrated 1920's style! It was quite the bee's knees.

Well, I'm quite sad to see 2009 end. WHAT an amazing year! I am so thankful for all my experiences, good and bad. I got to study and live in a beautiful country (Italy), experienced a new (and relaxing) way of life, learned so much about myself, met so many new great friends, made huge life changing decisions, and got rid of all the bad in my life. I hope 2010 is just as amazing!

My Christmas was pretty great too. I received some amazing gifts and spent my break from school with family, friends, relaxing, and of course, shopping. I also decided to buy myself a wonderful gift - a Ludwig drum set. It is gorgeous. I have played the drums since I was 16, however, I haven't played in years after selling my first set. It is wonderful to have music back in my life. <3

Happy Holidays and enjoy the beginning of a new decade! :)

Merry Christmas!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Here are some of my favorite christmas songs, shows, and movies! Enjoy! PS; The semester from hell finally ended, however I'm still super busy. Will update soon! Promise <3

Happy Turkey Day!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Sailor Style!

I was just browsing on etsy, and I found these lovely sailor style pieces by Fables by Barrie! Super cute stuff! =)

4 Days of Sleep Depravation..

Just thought I should start sharing and updating my design work.. When I'm not a vintage lovin', fashion cravin', hot rod lovin' girl; I'm a hardworking, sleep deprived designer..

The morning sunshine, gleaming through my red curtains; glowing on all the work I had left to do this morning..

My presentation on Michigan Central Station - Concept, Inspiration, and Preliminary Space Planning.

*notice i'm wearing the forever21 jacket =)

Finally, I can relax and get some sleep tonight! Back to the grind tomorrow..

My Weekend..

Hello, everyone! I hope your all enjoying your weekend. Mine has been full of sketching, drafting, and designing! I am working on a huge hospitality project; I am creating a nightclub/theatre/restaurant inside of the old Detroit abandoned train station; inspired by the victorian era and the creepiness of the era; focusing mainly on Lewis Carroll. It's going to be very conceptual.. but it's a work in progress! I will be very busy, so I am very sorry in advance for the lack of posts in the future. Ciao!

Friday the 13th..

Well everyone.. It's Friday the 13th. The fear and superstitions of this "unlucky" day is known throughout the world. For some, it's considered the unluckiest day of the year. For others, the number 13 is considered lucky.

For me, the only frightening thing about today was the subtraction in my checking account! I shopped, and shopped, and shopped! It was a crazy week for me at school.. So I decided to shop the stress away! I don't do this much.. But when I do.. I end up with one heck of a new wardrobe! Between the clothes I ordered on my birthday and my shopping spree today, this is now what I have in my own closet! Oh, and I know I bought WAY too many jackets.. My excuse: I couldn't resist temptation!!! However, I'm all ready for the winter season now. =]

*Forever 21*

I just had to buy this reusable and recycled tote! Its so fun and cute.

*Express*

*Vans*

Had to get this shirt.. for my comfy days :)

*Payless*

These shoes are to die for! I love them.

Maybe I went a little overboard with the shopping spree.. But hey, I found great deals, and I treated myself to some late birthday gifts!

I know, I know.. excuses, excuses, excuses.. ;)

Happy Friday the 13th everyone!

Manca l'Italia..

My first night in Florence, Italy.

Lately, I have really been missing everything about Italy. (If you didn't know, I studied there for a semester) I've been really quite stressed because of school, and now I'm really missing the relaxing atmosphere of Italy. Being there was definitely the best 5 months of my life. I can't wait to go back. I'm researching future jobs there, lets hope I find something. =]

The end of a great season..

The Mad Men season finale was AMAZING, wasn't it?! The whole season really impressed me. Don't get me wrong, I love every season of Mad Men so far.. but this one was JAM PACKED with drama!

It was sad to see Sterling Cooper come to an end. I actually had a massive amount of sadness come over me. When I saw the dimly lit office space while Don and Roger closed the doors one last time, knowing that the whole show started in that one office, really hit me hard! LOL. I couldn't believe it. It was really the main setting in season one and most of my favorite scenes happened in Sterling Cooper office. And it was SO extremely sad to see Betty and Don really split for good (or is it for good?), and sit down with the kids. What a twist! The season started with them happy as ever, and ends with hate between them. However, I love that the original Sterling Cooper crew are starting their own and coming back together (and I'm SO happy Joan is back!). I can't wait for next season!!! So what are your thoughts and favorite moments of season 3, and you hopes for next season?

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend :)
