November Inspirations

So I thought that since every month I am inspired by something new, that I would create a monthly post on things that have inspired me that month.

Music:
Radiohead- Weird Fishes

At my College, I am apart of a club called Dance Ensemble. A few weekends ago we had our end of the semester show. One of the the dances used this song and I just fell in love with the song instantly. For being a fan of Radiohead, I am surprised that I did not hear about this song earlier. I was so much inspired by this song that I even used the lyrics to inspire a dress for one of my fashion design classes. I love the melodic sound of it and what comes out of it musical and inspirationally.

I think that a remix that can transform the song for the best and can bring the song to a new level is always the best. So here is a remix that I fell in love with at first sound. This remix is by Amplive. 

Television:

American Horror Story

Now, back story to this, I am not usually a fan of anything scary, I just don't understand why people put them in situations that allows them to get harmed or scared. But since this is now on its second season and it has been getting a lot of praise, especially from my sister, I thought I would give this show a try. I also know that the two season are not correlated in anyway except that some of the same actors are in the new season. I will have to say that I love this series so much and I actually don't think that it is as scary, but more alluring and dark. 

I have a dark design aesthetic usually when it comes to fashion. And after watching this show especially the new season, my head has been running with ideas ever since. I just can't wait to design a collection based of off abandoned insane asylums and the anything else that I can think of. 

Fashion:

Plain maxi dresses

 interesting winter shorts 

 vampy makeup looks, cargo jackets

loose large plain knit shirts

 unique tights and leggings

flannel and another pair of dr. Martens in cherry

 turtle necks and beanies

In case you don't know, but I like Miley Cyrus, and i have especially been liking her current grungish style. And due to the weather getting colder, my fashion color palette has been getting darker and becoming mainly black. The colors I am loving this season and hope to expand in my closet is Oxblood, Navy, Black, and Grey. Here are  few photos of things that I hope to expand in my wardrobe in the next couple of weeks.

Music Monday: Little Dragon__Crystalfilm

Hello everyone, so here is another post for you. I bring you Little Dragon. I know that some of you may already know of them. I personally like their cool jazzy approach that they put to there music. This song is of there new album, Ritual Union. I think this song is so inspirational and I am thinking of using it in a inspiration board for my design class next semester.

My thanksgiving break

So over the break while everyone was at home, I was stuck on campus. It wasn't that bad since I was able to sleep in till 12/1 everyday. Here are a few photos that show what my break consisted of.

I found this new designer...well new to me

 From his Fall/Winter 2012 collection

 spring/Summer 2013

 Spring/Summer 2013

Spring/Summer 2013

And his name is Gareth Pugh. He is a London-based designer and I think that his stuff is amazing. It might be that even though he creates a ready-to-wear collection, it is still slightly avant garde and innovating. It might also be that he loves incorporating as much black and leather as possible, no matter the season. He almost reminds me of an Alexander McQueen-ish designer.

Music Monday: Lana Del Rey__Born to Die (gemini remix)

So I was on pandora the other day and had heard this remix to a song that I already love. I think that it still stays true to the song, but is different enough that you wouldn't get bored with it. This song is definitely more for people who like the electronic style.

Wanting to be a blogger

By no means am I calling myself a blogger. I rarely post, and when I do, I feel like they don't hold much content or meaning. And the reason for this is because I prioritize blogging to be on the back burner. As some of you may know or not, but I am a full-time fashion design student. And that takes up a lot of time, and if some of you cannot fathom how much time I mean, I will most likely be in the sewing lab/studio during the week about 6-8 hours a day. Which then gives me little time to do my core homework and to sleep. But I do like to blog if I ever get a chance to do it and I am hopping to get more involved in it.
This is why I am hoping to use this blog to incorporate some of my loves of this world; Fashion Design, Music, Art, Movies. I have been getting into the music portion of my blog by having Music Mondays. Which I enjoy because it allows be to share some of my favorites songs of the moment and it allows for me to search for new music to help broaden my own collection/taste.
I don't want to promise anything about what you should expect to see on this blog or anything, but I just want to let you know that I am thinking about this blog and I am hoping to give it a facelift and some content that I can be really proud of.

Thanksgiving glum

Well, one of the bummers of going to school across the country is that going home is not as accessible as it  would be if i wasn't. So since I am going to be staying on campus, I am going to have to fill my time with something to do. I am planning on working on this blog a little bit because I am wanting re-organize this and hopefully actually get into blogging. In addition to that I have a tone of homework (you think teachers would give you a break right), and in addition I am thinking of making a New York City trip, mainly for school work though. So I just I would update you just so that you know that I haven't died. Also, what do you think of the new layout? I wasn't really liking the old one.
