Ok! So those are my favs from the red carpet of this years Golden globes. I was gonna post my WTF's but my computer is being lame so I'll save that part for next time!

Today starts the second week of the school semester for me. The real work begins now that the introductions and course desriptions are out of the way. The intructors fangs start to come out and the pressure is on! personally I cant wait! I have always loved a challenge and seem to do my best work under pressure.

Its been raining like crazy for the last few days and is supposed to keep up this way for the rest of the week so im defiantely not looking foward to all the walking I have to do between work and school, but as the Lady of Gaga says, "if its not rough, it isnt fun". Im just tryna keep my eyes on the prize and keep pushing.

My first assignment due today felt more like an arts and crafts project you do in fifth grade but I cant complain, it was easy and fun and im sure just a tease of the work to come.

Todays class is Buying and Merchandising. Im off work today so I can spend some time playing with my son and do a little prep work for class, then its time to brave the stormy weather and make my way to Saddleback.

Stay dry...

The Beginning of the rest of my life!

Its been an extremely busy year for me. I ended a 2 1/2 year relationship, got laid off, was living in a trailer with my five year old son, but then moved back home, got an awsome job with a quick promotion, started school and found the love of my life. So 09' has been a roller coaster to say the least but i can honestly say I have never been happier or more productive, and I'm just barely getting started.

I'm sooo excited to be back in school although I haven't decided yet if I'm going to finish what I started at F.I.D.M and get my Fashion Design or Merchandising Degree or just get certificates. Either way I'm really happy with the classes I'm taking; Fashion 101, Buying and Merchandising and Apparel Design. Its like little doors of inspiration in my brain have been opened and i have never been more motivated! It helps to be dating the most amazing hard working guy i have ever known in my life and with all his support combined with the encouragement from my family... I feel unstoppable! Watch out world here I come!!

This blog is going to be devoted to the journey that lays ahead of me as i pursue my dream of becoming the next great Fashion Designer and take the fashion industry by storm. Come hell or high water, one day everyone will know my name!

Ive already had my first two classes and have my first two assignments, interview a buyer and create a mind board ( a collage displaying my goals and aspirations in the fashion industry). on the side i need to start working on a few projects Ive had on a shelf for a while. Since I have a horrible habit of getting too excited about things and overwhelming myself, I am going to force myself to be disciplined and organized and do things in a properly structured manner. So... first things first, draft a plan for operation t-shirt recon and start designing graphics for N Love T-shirt samples...stay tuned...

XOXO
