Change

So for those out there in the blog world or anyone for that matter who actually reads this, I am going to be changing this blog. I'm not going to be blogging so much about me and more about fashion. I'm going to be blogging about trends, designers, etc.

I will update every now and then on what I'm up to and current works of art, just not as often. Also I'm going to be working on a new banner and layout, It's a little too plain for my taste and could use some much needed umph.

On a positive note, I started school at Ai 2 weeks ago and couldn't be more happy. Things are going great and I can't wait to keep learning.

Now onto business, The one sole collection that I found the most to my liking and fitting to my aesthetic was Vera Wang's fall 2010 collection.


I've always been fond of the whole femme fatal and film noir thing, so I was very excited to see Vera put her modern spin on it.

I just love the whole look of it all. The hair, the multiple pearl necklaces, everything. Even the fur, and I usually don't like fur at all.

Overall it's a lovely collection and I will definitely keep on eye out on Vera since before I saw this collection I hadn't liked much of her work. This collection was the standout on for me so far.

I think that it's good everyones going back into time and bringing back old trends and looks and making them modern. As Oscar De La Renta put it, "I look back to look forward."

On A Roll...

Well summer's here and I'm officially out of high school. I'm now now awaiting the start of my first day of college at The Art Institute of Tucson!!! I can't wait to start learning more about fashion, hone my skills and ultimately become a designer.

Now that I'm out of school I've had more time to sketch and work on my creativeness. Unfortunately I haven't really sketched as much as I know I should, but I'm finding more and more inspiration each day and I can't help but let my creative juices thrive and take hold. So here's what I have done:

My most recent sketch-



And I even attempted a watercolor painting, which came out quite nicely-


I loved it so much that I did this with it in photoshop-



There's tons more to come, I PROMISE!

Glamour Factory

It's getting so close to graduation and I think the senioritus is kicking in. I hope I make it through because I am determined to get into The Art Institute. This Monday me and my partents went there and I filled out my application and next Wednestday we meet with a finacial advisor (and I have to take a type of apptitude/placement test for math & english).

So I'm keeping a postitive attitude/outlook in hopes that I make it. WISH ME LUCK EVERYONE!!!

Now onto the main attraction.............
I was inspired by Viktor&Rolf's Glamour Factory colletction. I thought the whole thing was very clever. Every model from h2t looked awesome and I was in awe.

Here's what I came up with:


Those who I've shown it to say it's really nice and some even said they'd like to wear something like it(the girls of course). It always makes me happy to hear feedback like that, so please leave some comments as well.

Until next time(which might be pretty soon), Goodbye.

Testing mobile blogging

I will definitely be updating my blog more often now that I can do it from my phone, so keep a look out for that:)

New Stuff

Hello Everyone.
I'm aware nobody really reads this blog, so I need to think of ways to get more people reading. Obviously I need to talk more about other things than besides my sketches so hopefully I get on more often and begin blogging about other things as well.

But for now, here's another sketch of mine. I'm actually working on building a portfolio, it's not for any particular reason. It's just a neat project I want to work on, It's going to be a slideshow of some of my various ideas and such. So stay tuned for that, It should be here in a week or so.

Here's my latest sketch (inspired by Alexander McQueen's F/W 2010 collection)

The Best Day of my life

Wow, I'm 18 now everyone. I'm so excited and happy, me & my family are going to party all night long this saturday. I can't wait!!!
My sister made me cupcakes, me good friend Alex brought me a delicious chocolate muffin:)

But what really made my day was this email I got from from designersnexus.com
I sent the them the last sketch that I posted here on my blog in hopes that they'd post it on their website...
&& they did!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the email that I recieved:
"Hi,

I checked out your blog. Wow, you're very creative! I'm so happy our site was useful to you. Both sketches actually look professional. Seeing these results makes me want to work harder to help fashion lovers out there! The girl in a newspaper print is simply stunning. I'm so proud. Where did you learn how to use photoshop and illustrator so well?

Keep it up,

Natalie"

Thank you soooooo much!!!! This made my day, couldn't have asked for a better way to start my birthday.
