Reviews pending~

A bit of a minipost right here becauseI have quite a bit of work to get done for tomorrow (Thank heavens for noon classes! I'd die if I had an 8 AM tomorrow!), but I managed to have some *ghasp* extra money this month from doing commissions, and decided to splurge at sock dreams-  if you refer to that socks post a couple entries down, I ordered the black x gold trouser socks and a couple things for my halloween costume :D

Of course I'll give pictures and review when it comes!

Also, just a word of warning, for those of you looking to purchase fake hair or dread falls, STAY AWAY FROM JADED DREADS -  I ordered from them 7 months ago and they finally sent me my stuff!  I gave them my home address this time because honestly I was expecting them to drag on another 7 months.  I am happy that they've decided to improve their customer service lately (which honestly isn't saying much seeing as previously it was literally nonexistant), but I'll try to give a nonbaised review when I can go get them on break.

I'm not saying that Jaded Dreads are total scammers (well technically I don't know, maybe there's a  pebble in that box or something lololol)  but they dissapeared with a chunk of my money for quite a while with no communication whatsoever and didn't respond to the multiple emails/myspace messages which I worded politely. (and one which I wasn't so polite in :B)  Finally after a snarky myspace reply to the notice that they were having a sale, I got a response...  and then nothing to confirm that they took note to the new address, but my mom called and confirmed they'd gotten the package, so I suppose that's fine.  

However I do have friends who have ordered stuff from them before me and still haven't gotten their products, so just make sure to research sellers before you commit! If I'd googled jaded dreads before paying, I could have saved myself a lot of grief and nail biting.

Agh it feels like it's been forever since the last update!

It's because I've been busy with school!

Hahaha and I figured it would be lame if each day I was all 'I learned _____ today in modeldrawing/patterndrafting/studio/fashionillustration/textilescience' but was again too busy to do a write up on something else interesting ...

but tadah~ our first illustration project- kids swim suits!

ah the more I look at it the more I dislike it actually!  I'll definately do a better job on our next assignment! (male model heads- yum<3)

(next time I'll just scan in the fashion figure part if I can do so without wrinking the paper...)

Speaking of assignments though- I just got back from doing a shopping report for my illustration class.

We were supposed to hit up some designer stores at Melrose and then sneak photos/notes so we could draw flats of the clothing later and take notes on things like price, fabric, current trends, customer base ect.  

It was a little nerve wracking- I'm sure it didn't take that long, but it felt like scribbling down the fabric blends and taking pictures took forever! And I felt super bad when not buying anything,  the sales girl at Betsey Johnson was especially nice.

Agh but that skirt was around 200$! I'm not starving (YET) but a purchase like that would K.O. my wallet!

Where did I end up hitting up? Diesel (omg LOVE how their store is decorated!), Marc by Marc Jacobs (I love the neon reversable leather bags ;3;~~~~if it had some sort of closure I'd be all over it!), Paul Smith (I didn't know about this store before and fell in love with SO MANY of their stuff! The jacket I took photos of was around $2500 but it was gorgeous ;3;~), Theory, and Betsey of course!

We also went into Alexander McQueen to drool eventhough it wasn't on the assignment!  In real life.... it's breath taking. It almost justifies over 200$ for a screen printed t-shirt! Almost!

On our way back we decided to go to Beverly Center to check out some stores we could actually afford and eat.  I ended up buying a pair of black opaque leggings.  Yes, I've given in to the trend...

At Forever 21 we spotted the actress Bai Ling trying on crazy sunglasses xD I know she's always getting ragged on for her clothes, but hey, flats, booty shorts, and an Ed Hardy hoodie? More power to you home girl!

(so far for random celeb sightings, we have a gay porn star, Will-i-am and now Bai Ling- LA is an intresting place xD) 

Annnnd I believe I said I'd be doing daily snaps in this too? hahaha sorry for not including them so far-

here's what I wore on tuesday~ (Yeah I'm wearing the same blouse today xD')
