New Years Resolutions....

I usually don't make New Year's Resolutions,
however there is so much exciting stuff happening in my life
it would be a shame for me not to try to update this darn thing more.

So here's to starting the new year off
with a good breakfast
and a post.

More to come.

UPDATE!!!

Well, it's been quite a long time since I've had time to update this darn thing!

These next few posts will be a compilation of my semester
and all the exciting, cool and colorful things I've been working on!

But here's the really exciting news:

Thanks to the Oberlin College Winter Term Office
I will be trekking up north to visit wool mills and
research for my project:

Made in America: From Fiber to Fabric

Wooot!

It's a pretty exciting trip.
What's more exciting is Oberlin actually gave me $$!

I just firmed up my plans a few days ago
and will be hitting the road in a week or so.

I'm going to make three stops:
Harrisville, NH to visit Harrisville Designs
North Hampton, Mass. to visit Webs
and
Putney, VT to visit Green Mountain Spinnery

More on everything soon.

Oh right, a Belated Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas!

Why does all good fashion happen outside the US??

The slingback with the Lucite heel, could be tacky but I'm IN love.

These shoes along with a cute satchel are slated for sale not till February 2012!!

Ugh.

Runaway as fast as you can

Granted I am always behind the times when it comes to pop culture,
I am obsessed with this video.

I love not only the song, but the dancing.

Since I stopped swimming competitively I've spent a lot of time reflecting
on the activities and talents I used to pursue.

From age 4-13 I studied ballet intensively at
one of the most prestigeous academies on the East Coast.

It broke my heart to stop, just like it broke my heart to stop swimming.
Alas, as many warned me, I am young and there is still time to pick
swimming, dancing, singing up again!

I miss the grace, poise and beauty that ballet entails.
The sweeping movements, balance, clean lines.

MUST FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE!

This is AMazing.

HOW? WHaaa?

Brand? BAH!

Boots | Miista Hera Bootie

My newest want. I've been looking for some clogish boots.
You know, wooden sole with a slight chunky heel.

I debated a few, including the Ugg Lynnea.
Sadly, the foot bed and toe box of the boot aren't shearing lined.
Bummerrrr.

I like the woven macrame look of these combined with the moccasin like tassels
although they may be too similar to my Sperry's...

Will post more about fall break and fiber stuff soon. I hope.

Oh Free People how I hate you but how I love you!
Urban Outfitters corporation is horrible,
but I will admit they make the most beautiful clothes.

I ordered this skirt from Karmaloop with a discount code.

tata! Off to enjoy the last few days of sun here in Oberlin
before it turns gray and wet.

Oh! more to come about my weaving and independent study in Fiber Arts.
