I wish for...




really check out oak for most of these goodies, the Alexander Wang is really expensive as well the Acne heels, but, it investing sometimes in a perfect shoe or perfect clutch can be worth it..





This jacket is from Helllooks ebay store, a jean/biker jacket.. hmmm :) the rings are out of this world expensive and I will never be able to afford them, and even if I could I still wouldn't haha, I will try to find something similar in vintage.. the clogs.. yes yes yes!!!





the lanvin belt is going to be a DIY, love and will shop for this outfit of cropped tee with these jean shorts and would top the outfit of with heels like this, again too expensive but its the perfect hue blue, perfect in shape, I only don't think I like the gold...


okay, thigh high boots, the first one is classic but seriously expensive the 2nd one is on sale, love this ballooning effect but its a hard cookie to pull off.. hope zara will have some thigh highs soon...

a sheer curtain floating





Every now and then I get Nostalgic... I designed these dresses 4 years ago..

After graduating I was doing a lot of freelance styling and running back and forth to Amsterdam to drop off clothing for magazine publications, and yes to see your clothing in magazines was amazing..

but back then I was too shy, too insecure, and not sharp enough, I would hardly get paid if I would get paid, It was just too early, then I went for a five day trip to New York, applied to a job and got the job,I had a salary:)

But seeing what my friends do now and what I could have been doing too... makes me so angry with myself..

I truly have an amazing job, I'm a trend forecaster, a Visionair, and create colors and trends seasons a head, not runway but inspirational, and when I was designing I didn't made ready to wear, I believe things are not ment to last, so my clothing isn't, I love the moment went things start to fall apart, like a flower, for me its most beautiful on that moment it starts to fade.. I like to capture that very moment..

My boss and coworkers don't understand why I'm so resentful, but it is because of this, I'm comfortable, having a steady job and a salary and shop shop shop, buy buy buy, but my hearth lies with my creations, I want to touch and feel.. but after 4 years of a spoiled New York life, living an artist life in Paris? Be poor, sell nothing... My friends and parents want me to make the jump.. I'm like a fat cat..

Chictopia made me crave for designing again.. I want to embellish sheer tights, with beads, pearls, lace, whatever, loose treads, halfly falling apart....

Sad Sad so Sad, will feel better after buying some new shoes... :)

white illusion







An oldy, well two weeks ago or something like that? anyhow, I just love the black and white thing and I'm still obsessed with the knee highs..

The skirt is a faux Chloe, dont care if stuff is real or fake, which reminds me, I really want the LV tights, would love to get my hands on faux ones,

I know they must have cloned them already, must have, does anyone know where to find them? would hate it if i have to go to China Town.... would hate it even more if I actually have to buy the real ones.... :)

Went to the Japanese Bookstore today, and found this :) "The Allure of Chanel" A few years ago when I applied to the Art school I went to for Fashion,

I was asked about my favorite designers, honestly I had never had my focus on fashion, after graphic design a lot of my friends wanted to get into this course and I kind of joined them in having no direction in what I wanted,


I didn't knew any designers and when I named Chanel they thought it was a strange choice and wanted to know why...

well I named Chanel not because I knew her designs but because I had learned what kind of woman she was, because of the difference she made by starting to do her own thing not carrying about what the set perceptions where on the matter. I will let you all know after I finish reading:)

Collaborative Innovation Summer Session 5-Week I

CDES: Design Studio — Collaborative Innovation
Summer Session 5-Week I
ADES 4540-501
June 8–July 3
Monday–Friday
8:30 AM–1:30 PM

Description:
In this four-week long course open to upper level undergraduate and graduate students, interdisciplinary teams will identify and solve a problem a problem presented by a non-profit organization that will ultimately manifest itself in a visual (or non-visual) expression of one form or another. (I am currently beginning discussions with a Dallas-based museum for our client.) Emphasis will be placed on conceptual problem solving, exploration of multiple hypotheses, creative teamwork, and the development of innovative solutions.

Students will explore and utilize a variety of processes and visual techniques that inform and guide ideation as a means to create a common language that will allow them to communicate effectively across disciplinary backgrounds. The knowledge they gain from these experiences will allow them to develop and actualize the kinds of visual solutions necessary for future programmatic and career-based success.

Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the class, students should be able to
1. Students will study ideational/conceptual sketching techniques and develop a common visual language of symbols from which to develop quick visual.
2. Students will work in interdisciplinary teams in order to learn and understand other methods of empathetic research, problem solving, strategic thinking and innovative planning.
3. Identify various problems in need of new solutions. The problems may be social, economic, cultural or market-based problems.
4. Identify and meet new user and business needs by designing instruments, solutions and/or communications that allow constituents from all involved groups to contribute to at least some aspects of the design decision-making process.

Student Teams:
It is my goal to create three creative teams made up of students from the following disciplines. These three teams will work collaboratively to develop their own solutions to the problem creative problem.
1. Fashion Design
2. Interior Design
3. Communication Design—Graphic Design, Art Direction, Web Design
4. Marketing
5. Anthropology
6. Radio / TV/ Film
7. And possibly Art Education depending on the client

Gawd, I know my most popular looks are the one I just jump in clothes and mix whatever, jeans, skirt, leather jacket but honestly I myself love these looks, dont care if its not cool,

Im telling you I have a big love for both of them, I like my rough looks but every now and then I like to dress up more feminine.... and the outcome is this.. lunch-break in bryant park.. we took like 10 minutes to shoot some pics..
