The Magic Feathers

This spring I decided that my formal dress had to have feathers. Thats right FEATHERS. And while that sounds like the tackiest thing in the world, I think it turned out to be amazing! I chose an art deco style, dress (formal was a 20's theme) that I absolutely adored. I also discovered a new designer in the process, Sue Wong. All of her dresses are beautiful (and yes very pricey). Definitely make sure to check her collections out! You won't  be disappointed!

A silly selfie

I loved how the feathers looked!
What do y'all think?

Another painting

I have developed a love for painting! This is my own rendition of a Becca painting! I changed the flower colors slightly and I used molding paste for the actual flowers themselves. Molding paste dries hard like plaster and creates a three-dimensional textured effect. I think it turned out really well! What do y'all think?

As always,

Have a fab day y'all!

Better late than never

So I know that I have taken beyond a major hiatus from blogging! Major doesn't even begin to describe it, but with more of my life now set in stone I feel like can come back to it with a more conviction and dedication then before. Graduation is approaching quickly, and I am beyond excited! A little update on me! Actually a major update. I will be attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the fall! GO HEELS! It was my first choice and it's also my total and complete dream school!

As always have a fab day y'all!

Halloween fun!

This is sooooo soooo late!

This year my Halloween was pretty quiet. I didn't go crazy with the costumes, because this year I was involved with more work than play. My main focus was running a club booth at my school's Halloween carnival. It was balloon sword fighting and all the little kids loved it! I did however, try to make myself look festive for the holiday. I picked up the sparkly orange big bow at a craft store and then wore a spooky themed shirt! What do you think? 

A friend of mine was a surfer! 

Sorry it's been a while 

Have a fab day y'all

New College!

I know I have been absolutely terrible about posting lately. This year is so crazy and stressful. However, I thought I would share an exciting update. I have decided to add another college to my list of schools that I'm applying to, University of South Carolina! This is the only school that I'll be applying to out of state, which makes it even more exciting!

I'm definitely going to be posting more and more as things start to get a little less hectic! Tell me what you think about USC! 

As always,  

Have a fab day!

Spontaneous Splattering!

Every once in the while it's just necessary to do something a little crazy! The other day me and my best friend Sarah were sitting in art class and decided to randomly do some splatter painting. Our art teacher, who is really one of the coolest teachers I have ever had, saw no problem with us going outside and slinging paint around until our hearts' content. Our BIG (first choice) applications were about due and it was a great way to blow off some steam.

We started with a a big purple canvas that someone had started, but had quickly discarded. From there we used some very running acrylic paints and began to sling multiple colors onto it. We then went a little crazy drawing shapes with our hands on the wet paint and even leaving hand prints. Our last and final touch was to marble some yellow and green paint across the front. Some of our other friends wandering around campus also contributed splatters and smears here and there.  Overall, it really turned out crazy! I jokingly named the painting "Friendship," however I think it really suits the picture. While it probably won't ever be in an art museum, we had such a great time making it!

What fun spontaneous thing have you done lately?
Hope y'all have a fab day!!!

Fashion Discovery

The weather has definitely been bipolar lately.  For a little while I truly thought southern North Carolina was actually going to get a real fall, however I was wrong. This week the temperatures jacked back up to the upper with tons of humidity. (Not fun! It wrecks havoc on my hair.)

Anyway for those of us dealing with this weather it is crazy to try and put together a decent outfit. A lot of times it requires some rather summery pieces, even though it is well into fall! Recently I discovered platform wedges (or at least that's what I think they are called.) At first I was really hesitant about the way that they would look on! To be honest I thought they would look more like heeled clogs, but they are really flattering. They make your legs look great.

My first pair are from Kate Spade.  I love the different colors on each side the green and the turquoise! You can't really tell in the picture but the cork has gold flecks in it. In other words I'm completely in love with these shoes!

Let me know what your latest fashion discovery is!

Have a fab day y'all!
