</div><div style="text-align: center;">Looking ahead....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love the thrill of starting a new year. A fresh slate, a chance to start something new and make changes. And I have some big ones coming up. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Production is underway for a new project. I won't tell you much right now...but I will say that you're about to see a lot more of my clothing designs. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">After that, I have plans to spend about three weeks touring France, Italy, and Switzerland. I'm a girl who's never left her own country...and I can't wait to see the world. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

This is my sister with me, who is actually one of my models from the fall show. <br />
<br />
To keep it simple, I used my black turtleneck shirt and a scarf. I just wore jeans with it. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYrPY8T6jpSAIJYsQOzX2jY2Fd7HPVeFpelqZF1bvUnd0Yi0_oLOvcpQJeZDvjfqZ25B58wCrL8GZfnO6c6zYNztDslQitVn4Dk1rbLS9g0MRAAf8g33vbTwbg_m_jHSi_HgVxN-uu4xQ/s640/blogger-image--1445293779.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYrPY8T6jpSAIJYsQOzX2jY2Fd7HPVeFpelqZF1bvUnd0Yi0_oLOvcpQJeZDvjfqZ25B58wCrL8GZfnO6c6zYNztDslQitVn4Dk1rbLS9g0MRAAf8g33vbTwbg_m_jHSi_HgVxN-uu4xQ/s640/blogger-image--1445293779.jpg" /></a></div>Renhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17787674568942577888noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345009880362376816.post-54634354469712564592011-12-26T19:53:00.001-08:002011-12-26T19:53:45.668-08:00Day 6: ShoppingWent shopping today. I found two shirts for under $10 each, and a jacket for $20. That immediately makes it a good day. <br />
<br />
When I go to the mall, I always try to wear something that makes it easy to try on clothes. Underneath the sweater, I wore a white cami. This always is helpful when trying on jackets and other layering pieces. The jeggings work well for putting on dresses or shirts. The reason I wore the boots? I really need to stop looking for shoes and jeans. By wearing shoes that are difficult to take off, I wasn't tempted to "just quickly" try on a pair of ballet flats. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTGDcc8rZaMcfPxO75XbT8aLbq5oTtnDIUnJZMLA6cXbRR_6YyladGZP_tB5g-xae2y9NWQn-0y6eE0JcbRdP-cVTB6fuA4Ci6K2OijSnPlVcLgwjgSztwn4qvKBT4mv3R2kpUIM487b8/s640/blogger-image--753362979.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTGDcc8rZaMcfPxO75XbT8aLbq5oTtnDIUnJZMLA6cXbRR_6YyladGZP_tB5g-xae2y9NWQn-0y6eE0JcbRdP-cVTB6fuA4Ci6K2OijSnPlVcLgwjgSztwn4qvKBT4mv3R2kpUIM487b8/s640/blogger-image--753362979.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiImys5HtLlD_8jbAXBv7SxkXpNOpuSYI7yT_eASKjrL0lwhLBoF31Sr_RVwk4nrxcB2XNyBdVoKDDUTyNnkyzPeva7o5PZRfsL1KZCDc6HoGJOKzN1LeUsiFWKDSO6qqaTLoS0-iG_zuE/s640/blogger-image--2025360274.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiImys5HtLlD_8jbAXBv7SxkXpNOpuSYI7yT_eASKjrL0lwhLBoF31Sr_RVwk4nrxcB2XNyBdVoKDDUTyNnkyzPeva7o5PZRfsL1KZCDc6HoGJOKzN1LeUsiFWKDSO6qqaTLoS0-iG_zuE/s640/blogger-image--2025360274.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPSKhFt1SzU2aVofgFjsfORb3EyisJOIjPTkaWJFB6NyE9lJZHNM3vvb4h6omKx8mDgMGtifqiReSB9NmGfu6IqOQhwYlorjTdlsrLNPS3H2xIFLwtmwE5MyRfZOqUuHoNV_dlxBC3k_Q/s640/blogger-image-1816052695.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPSKhFt1SzU2aVofgFjsfORb3EyisJOIjPTkaWJFB6NyE9lJZHNM3vvb4h6omKx8mDgMGtifqiReSB9NmGfu6IqOQhwYlorjTdlsrLNPS3H2xIFLwtmwE5MyRfZOqUuHoNV_dlxBC3k_Q/s640/blogger-image-1816052695.jpg" /></a></div>Renhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17787674568942577888noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345009880362376816.post-5803973048674691732011-12-25T14:04:00.001-08:002011-12-25T14:43:22.655-08:00Day 5: Happy Christmas!I want to wish all my followers a Merry Christmas.

It was waaay too big for me, and down to my ankles, but a new waistband, a few snips and a gather stich was all it needed to have a second chance. <br />

I had quite a few falls, especially when I decided that I'd try out a spin. I'm unscathed, but my bum was freezing from falling so much! I think I'll have to add staking lessons to my bucket list. <br />

The water on the pond looks like glass and the skies are vast and white. The whole landscape is serene and still. <br />

I enjoy working with different locations for outfit shoots while I'm on a trip. More to come...I'll be posting every day I'm here to show how I made outfits out of just the few pieces that I brought with me. <br />

To travel, I wore a sweater and boots that are too bulky to fit in my suitcase. The scarf is my own copy of the one I'm <a href="http://rosesarerenfashion.blogspot.com/2011/12/100-follower-giveaway.html" target="_blank">giving away</a>. It's perfect for this cold and windy day. <br />
<br />
Also...meet Tabitha. She is along for the ride. And to cover my black pants with fur....<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now, on to the packing!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've always seen packing as a bit of a puzzle. You have to figure out how to get the most amount of wear out of the least amount of items. Everything has to pull it's own weight to earn valuable suitcase space.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I ended up with 11 pieces, plus two pairs of shoes and some accessories. From this, I'll come up with eight outfits ready to face the cold weather and holiday merriment ahead of me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First- the bottoms. A skirt, two pairs of jeans, one pair of black jeggings. All dark, so they won't get dirty quickly. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm4sSNbc8Uklwu8F43FQLAFxIsi09gMmyFjVzeqvFtt68uRNkuGeMoCxYnHylattJXIG8bq5FkSmpnM0SZASa4RaSZ1ArxjmrUdYoReB7evswbvv37NTBcRSKklQowE4FRa-_Axs-RCms/s640/blogger-image-311909220.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm4sSNbc8Uklwu8F43FQLAFxIsi09gMmyFjVzeqvFtt68uRNkuGeMoCxYnHylattJXIG8bq5FkSmpnM0SZASa4RaSZ1ArxjmrUdYoReB7evswbvv37NTBcRSKklQowE4FRa-_Axs-RCms/s640/blogger-image-311909220.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next, the basics. A white shirt (seems to have disappeared in the flash....oops), a turtleneck, and a blue shirt. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All of these are essential for layering multiple outfits. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7SpS0yHJ8WLEyXqpQ4Er3RgDVpvjSjyogcl2AHzbR8dhg6llJAWsadIfokNAiBkMQLuAMEa5kHDtAEny8Msl4hZnEr0cIm6hLDW2Hfq1KByoLWvWsIVPojMdQn8VyEGoR3vN9tUkH3_M/s640/blogger-image-1638049677.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7SpS0yHJ8WLEyXqpQ4Er3RgDVpvjSjyogcl2AHzbR8dhg6llJAWsadIfokNAiBkMQLuAMEa5kHDtAEny8Msl4hZnEr0cIm6hLDW2Hfq1KByoLWvWsIVPojMdQn8VyEGoR3vN9tUkH3_M/s640/blogger-image-1638049677.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When trying to pack light, it becomes important to really look at where you should sacrifice, and where you can splurge. I decided that I didn't need much jewelry. I chose to wear only gold, so that immediately cuts down on the number of matching pieces I need. I also went with a pearl necklace/earring set (thank you to the very nice friend who gave them to me for Christmas!) Pearls are something that can be worn with practically anything, which makes them great for traveling. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I like being warm. So the extra bulk in the suitcase is worth it. I packed them by rolling instead of folding, so they'll arrive ready to wear. </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am a fan of bending rules a bit. I've taken to carrying around this patent leather clutch in the day time. Why save it for after six? Carrying an "evening" bag during the day adds a little bit of fun. You'll feel like your day is a little bit more glamours when you've got a cute clutch tucked under your arm. </div><br />

I was suddenly struck by inspiration for my spring collection, and I wanted to concentrate on making something new, instead of taking influence on existing styles. But I have the ideas on paper, so its back to the blogging world! (I apologize if that didn't make any sense.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So without further ado, here's my outfit for today. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I really shouldn't give out too many makeup tips...because every now and then, my boyfriend peaks onto this page (Hey there, Sam!), and this might ruin some of the "girl secrets", but....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is a trick my grandmother gave me: Use your lipstick as a blush. That way, they'll always match. Just make sure you blend!</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a little surprise for you. I caught my little sister, Abbey, poking around my wardrobe. She looks at me with an adorable, guilty face and says "Could I...maybe...borrow something?"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I proceeded to dress her up. I added the jacket, the necklace, and the hair twist to her jeans, belt, and green shirt.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And she got her own photoshoot....</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've decided to go back to studying French. I did for three years, got busy, and ended up going too many months without this beautiful language in my life. I love this book...it has French stories with the English printed on the opposite page. I was very pleased when I first picked it up, and I could read most of the first paragraph! Ah...the simple feats make me happy. Wish me luck for the rest of the book. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The exhibit was fantastic. There's something exhilarating about standing feet away from a priceless painting that was once just a blank canvas in front of an unknown painter. The artist spent hours spent hours staring at it, working the shapes and colors to his will. All the little imperfections...brush strokes, fuzzy lines, tiny specks that you don't see in prints are all there. And the same canvas has been all over the world, examined by millions of people. People who don't speak the same language; they only think the same thought. There's something about that feeling that's absolutely wonderful. </div><br />

Later, I visited SCAD Atlanta...I was more impressed by this urban branch than I was with the location in Savannah. The classrooms are a fashion designer's dream. I've also decided I like the atmosphere better. In the city, everything has so much energy. Everything moves faster and there's a myriad of inspiration and ideas. It's like the city has a heartbeat, and it's constantly moving, constantly changing. It's a lifestyle I love. Maybe next year ALL my pictures will be in this fantastic city. Fingers crossed!<br />

Stay Beautiful,<br />

It was perfect....all of the clothes were just how I imagined them in my head. When I saw those girls coming down the runway, I knew that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. Look for my label. ;)<br />

I'm one of three youth designers showcasing a mini five-outfit collection.<br />
<br />
This is the first time I've trusted my designs to a sample maker. I've always seen them perfectly real in my mind, but now they're actually real.<br />
<br />
I'm so excited!<br />
<br />
I have some sneak peak photos from the last fitting....the whole collection will be posted next. Stay tuned!<br />

Today's challenge? Comfortable AND classy. My solution?<br />
<br />
My go-to piece: the oversized mens' shirt. If you do not own one of these, steal one from your boyfriend. Now. They are the best. It's the comfort of a giant tee shirt, with the class of a dressy blouse. I've worn it tucked in, belted with leggings, under sweaters....even as a cover-up at the beach. It is almost as useful as a classic LBD or a white tee.<br />

My other secret weapon for taking this outfit from cozy to chic....<br />
<br />
A patent leather clutch. Who says they have to just be for fancy evenings? It adds instant *uumph* to an outfit. To balance it out, I wore simple pearl earrings. </div><br />

I feel like a do quite a few transitional outfits....day to night, day one to day two, etc. I lead a busy life, and being able to change my outfit at a moments notice is pretty much required.<br />
<br />
But here's one you probably haven't seen yet. I live in an interesting location. You go a little north of where I live, and you get city. You go a little south, and you're at a barn. Today took me to both locals. So this outfit had to do double duty- go from city slicker to cowgirl.<br />
<br />
First, the mall.<br />
<br />
<br />

A Dooney handbag, cropped black pants, and some orange-red lipstick made this urban enough to go shopping in.<br />
<br />
And then.... horseback riding!</div><br />

I've finally found the method to doing the perfect messy braid. Here's how I quickly did my hair before heading off to the stables.</div><br />
<br />

In the morning I had a model practice. I know I've mentioned this before, but I never really explained it. I'm designing a mini collection through a local teen art program. It's so fabulous! They took my designs, gave me a seamstress and a stack of model applications to choose from, a model coach to work with, a hair stylist, a makeup artist...everything! Next month, my designs will hit the runway for the first time! Pictures will go up, of course.<br />
<br />
So what to wear to go direct some models and shoot a designer interview?<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">And then later, I had a party at my place for the cast of a show I did a few months ago. We got together to watch the DVD of the show, eat, drink, and be merry with the friends we haven't seen since the closing matinee. I had only minutes to get ready from the model call. My secret weapon? Laziness. Really. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">When I did my hair this morning, I stepped out of the shower, dried my bangs, and then put my hair up. When I took it out later, it was still damp underneath, plus it had some shape from being twisted up. I added a little <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Paul-Mitchell-Awapuhi-Ginger-Texturizing/dp/">texturizing spray</a>, and some <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Paul-Mitchell-Sculpting-Foam-Ounce/dp/B002FJ10WQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1316961704&sr=1-2">sculpting foam</a>, and was done. I took of the jacket, and was ready for a fun night with old friends. </div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hilton Head Island</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As you can see, I reused all of the accessories from yesterday's outfit. This makes packing a lot easier. I used the same hat, one of the pearl bracelets, and the belt and shoes. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Also, you may remember that I packed in a teeney tiny weekend bag. But I had a very flexible wardrobe ready for whatever the weather brought. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's the complete list of what I brought:</div><div style="text-align: center;">-Blue sleeveless shirt</div><div style="text-align: center;">-White tank top</div><div style="text-align: center;">-Denim shorts</div><div style="text-align: center;">-Grey cardigan</div><div style="text-align: center;">-Blue sheer cardigan</div><div style="text-align: center;">-Red dress</div><div style="text-align: center;">-Skinny jeans</div><div style="text-align: center;">-Hat, sunnies, pearl bracelets, belt, silver shoes, penny loafers (in case I got blisters from the other ones, didn't end up using them)</div><div style="text-align: center;">-PJ's, of course!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Out of this, I made the two outfits you saw, but if the weather changed its mind, the different layers could be re-combined to create more appropriate outfits. This technique also makes you feel like you've brought several options, not just enough for an extra day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
I was waiting for an excuse to use this vintage overnight bag....I found it while thrifting over the summer. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX5N5hv2R3LChdNNFBawcKk0j2PfZRoHeBF9hK2gYzBrUlo8B98POaKMFIgm1TCK89L6hfA-f5iRMXi9BkTXrrkHYxnRmjMaekiCUrTiasNUKct8jPriv94_28PJVLReM9ocA560AocNM/s1600/DSCN2615.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX5N5hv2R3LChdNNFBawcKk0j2PfZRoHeBF9hK2gYzBrUlo8B98POaKMFIgm1TCK89L6hfA-f5iRMXi9BkTXrrkHYxnRmjMaekiCUrTiasNUKct8jPriv94_28PJVLReM9ocA560AocNM/s400/DSCN2615.jpg" /></a> </div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">For my first outfit, I tried to keep it easy to travel in. Comfortable for the drive, versatile for the weather, good for walking around. So I settled on this sleeveless flowy top and a cardigan. I'm glad I did, because it was a bit chilly earlier in the afternoon. </div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the Savannah River in the background. </div><br />
