<br />Long time, no see! I have been a terrible blogger, but I have some good excuses: jury duty, barbeques, our apartment got robbed! Not to mention major friend time, getting ready for school, work drama and oh yeah...the weather is so nice!

<br />So on to the important stuff: summer is all about throwing on a dress, accessories and sandals!
<br />Layering only gets you bonus points, but lets save it for the fall and just embrace the simplicity of summer!

<br />I will be honest, I am a sucker for any clothing design that has some special-ness to the back and normally I wouldn't be interested in a dress with this print! I threw on a hunter green belt to give some definition even though there is no green whatsoever to this dress....

<br />My guy so cutely encouraged me to "wear a ribbon" over the waist to cover up the elastic...its great when someone you love gives you suggestions!

<br />I thought the tribal-esque pattern on the wedges paired nicely with the simple pattern on the dress, which makes me love this dress even more.
<br />Note to self, an overly simple pattern can be interpreted as geometric, or tribal, or even floral, making it way more versatile!

I wanted to make a tutorial on how to dress super warm during the cold months. I love snow and being all snug and warm indoors while a snowstorm rages outside. I even love driving in the snow.<br />The weather in Manhattan is extreme-arctic winters and scalding summers. I always feel cold, so trying new ways to stay warm in the cold are important to me. And if you learn something new to do, then thats even better!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGZ_cp03V4Bsytme5_vUIOHbtaO7QAeOqeRqawfbtWKSLNExEdNYu1yQ-Me1oBglX4b5dQ54u7MoNwJwczhGD_VQQaoWDdgyAkLz3vhDYqVRApF5b-vziSgOBWpNsqulZqGizweT9SzpY8/s1600/IMG_6643.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGZ_cp03V4Bsytme5_vUIOHbtaO7QAeOqeRqawfbtWKSLNExEdNYu1yQ-Me1oBglX4b5dQ54u7MoNwJwczhGD_VQQaoWDdgyAkLz3vhDYqVRApF5b-vziSgOBWpNsqulZqGizweT9SzpY8/s400/IMG_6643.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578764099802079058" border="0" /></a><br />And winter is my favorite time to take photographs.

It is fine to wear tights that are different weights too, and remember that thicker is not always better. Plus, wearing two thick tights might not be as comfortable. If you do not own sweater tights, I recommend them, they feel very nice on the legs and are super stretchy! H&M has a pretty good range of different types of tights-if you don't know much about tights, go and check it out!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdER9E0_7fh9Ir5GwU6lO9C70CRAzWb7hh-BMRkUA432FR8J1fCy3BcIaZQ3vqf6YwwB3ovXa1zuo7p0UaOlRGfXl2W3gu5FqdVqq9Q3jiQYbhQSsa9UOm0QVbsCgogjX0JtHxo5rRw8gW/s1600/IMG_6662.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdER9E0_7fh9Ir5GwU6lO9C70CRAzWb7hh-BMRkUA432FR8J1fCy3BcIaZQ3vqf6YwwB3ovXa1zuo7p0UaOlRGfXl2W3gu5FqdVqq9Q3jiQYbhQSsa9UOm0QVbsCgogjX0JtHxo5rRw8gW/s400/IMG_6662.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578765769380987346" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitBc7HKWcY4ioJgMsY20BJ85W7YRBJKGBK-spzRf-WIYuScEee13dnaivf4TknkPSw4piB4gqXlYl2YgqQEc9grkkk-C2_b6YafRyXkpTcFW8aurAx-qcGNzVVmOF1DFRiX6QHnm_gJp81/s1600/IMG_6682.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitBc7HKWcY4ioJgMsY20BJ85W7YRBJKGBK-spzRf-WIYuScEee13dnaivf4TknkPSw4piB4gqXlYl2YgqQEc9grkkk-C2_b6YafRyXkpTcFW8aurAx-qcGNzVVmOF1DFRiX6QHnm_gJp81/s400/IMG_6682.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578766803290302018" border="0" /></a>Oh, right!

<br /></a>The weather has been crappy, by which I mean cold and wet. I don't mind so much snow! Its just...the cold. My friend's mother-in-law moved in downstairs this past weekend, and we had a huge moving party, where we moved her in and made about 6 different kinds of pizzas. We talked for hours, eating and unwrapping dishes until the late hours.
<br />Our new neighbor is named Nicora, and she is the coolest, most beautiful woman ever. She is an artist who makes just gorgeous pastel pictures and paintings. All her furniture is antique and amazing. She has this desk that is from the Civil War.

Its basically a tank top with fabric from the front and back tying together at the waist. Easy, right?

Why are collars so boring most of the time?? I think my style point of view is....why just have a boring, plain t-shirt when you could have a small detail in the shirt that makes you feel special? Why do you have to accessorize a shirt when it could be beautiful all on its own? But thats the great thing about fashion and style-everyone does it differently, everyone does what they like best, and no one is wrong!<br />I really fantasize about making clothing to sell on etsy...and thats my job, my career. Not going to happen, but a girl can dream, right?<br />Making these garments was a great challenge but I learned tons.Cinnamon Wrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02724129778939739072noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588960457654603065.post-48572021498774574222011-01-15T08:09:00.000-08:002011-01-15T09:02:12.583-08:00Pretzel GirlI have uploaded all the files for my FIT portfolio except for one part.<br />My goal is to upload the final part, and hence the entire portfolio by midnight tonight!

As Inigo Montoya says, "No, there is too much. Let me sum up. " A quiet Christmas, a quiet New Year. Snow like crazy. I joined a gym. I was going to go to LA to visit some friends, and it fell through...because of me. But I learned a life lesson, and will go later...maybe April!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO8IvwgSfH4_WSv2lOpmBEMPcmJR-sJWHyBpaYDcUDqo5BvRVV06XK0BpZDGdV84JUl5l5q8AX1EzxV5pgMgh-ttmsbrjNph3PJBzj1xYEYYtuUt7wUgde-_w6jj4kVgf0eV9TekGJknZV/s1600/IMG_5160.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO8IvwgSfH4_WSv2lOpmBEMPcmJR-sJWHyBpaYDcUDqo5BvRVV06XK0BpZDGdV84JUl5l5q8AX1EzxV5pgMgh-ttmsbrjNph3PJBzj1xYEYYtuUt7wUgde-_w6jj4kVgf0eV9TekGJknZV/s400/IMG_5160.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561058937063106354" border="0" /></a>An important thing to happen, which sounds small, is that we FINALLY got wifi in our apartment...I had been using my sweety's puter. So, whenever I wanted to blog, I would take pictures, upload it to his computer, then thumbdrive it over to my laptop if anything needed to be sized or photoshopped...and then thumbdrived back to his compy in order to put it up on blogspot. I think its why it took me so long to post...hopefully now I will blog more!<br /><br /><br />This week is supposedly a pseudo vacation for me since I didn't go to LA...though I still have my private client that I see at night...five nights a week. Bleah. I am mostly working on my FIT portfolio-which I should share here. SOON. As soon as I send it in to FIT! Though it would have been interesting to sort of get feedback through my blog first...oh well!

So this is possibly the most lame DIY ever, but. I'm sick, I get bored and I start making things and taking pictures. Thats just how I roll.</div><div>I love arm warmers, leg warmers-pretty much anything that will keep me warm. Why not just like mittens or socks, you ask? I dunno. It started out as a childhood dislike of socks and went on from there somehow.<div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_1OnFGH5pzUzD2m3avdSVVGNgBWRzuFKyUj_0Y5IXBVqg-9wyhXXTmqR6PjuUAO7gG1FOPyM18TrwFxFE6Zs5UqmFEAGP7zwCO7AgMx8E3OU6_zDrJCh6kQVkhqJ3PzvigObkQuAcYyCy/s400/handwarmer.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542114602677846258" />I wanted these from Free People but they're too expensive. So I made some instead.</div><div>DIY Go Time!!</div><div>1.Purchase some gloves! I found these at H&M for under $10. The Free People ones I like are $40, I think? So....yay I saved moneys!!</div><div><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubUn2mh6r3GiOUo31NznYEWbYDdFfRbQZAoZ4Om-a1bTnuhjo042Gfmi3zrYq4lIu_Qii2qeNCF7T6DR_OUfGSzGd4glc3P55EE3KQvv32Y8TVOlc_bMWnD_o7psodETePpdhqUbK2vFr/s400/IMG_5584.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542116511959991602" /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;">2. Figure out the length of them that you want. Do you want your hand warmers to just show the very tips of your fingers? Or do you want to lop off the fingers in their entirety like the pair from Free People? A good thing to think about also is, what kind of fabric are these gloves made of? If they are knit gloves, is the weave tight or loose? If its loose, it might become unravelled. In that case, don't cut the fingers too much, you may need to fold down the edges inside each finger and use fabric glue to make each finger have a hem.

I took out my ruffliest, summeriest dress and wore some sweater tights underneath and put a giant cableknit sweater over it and...its actually...super comfy!

I never told you about the FIT visit. The whole thing took a couple of hours. But it was really great, and I usually hate stuff like that. The campus seemed small but fun and super cozy. They have great facilities and they even have a little boutique store where the students sell their work, and order stuff themselves to learn how thats done. I just really loved the intimate, friendly vibe. Afterwards I visited the FIT museum, which is free.</div><div style="text-align: left;">If you live in the NYC area, its just a fun little thing to visit if you're on the West side near 27 street.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCSyROvFBGUKvguXZOxEoCSXaoiFAwW3ca1zA9BFWzwAd_wpZ_PpbYz2cAXzVb43LlGYeMbeRX1LFkHVicpfZ7b0wWlXJ_WEe2Al385NgX6jHBpP1i7axMCKxqoEy1LFlN9gLn1f5EWibY/s400/IMG_5545.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540183722892300546" /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Right now, the exhibit is about Japanese fashion, the deconstructionists, etc. So if you like Comme des Garcons, Jun Watanabe (i'm a horrible speller) and funky Japanese street style, you should definitely check it out!

Not to be mean, but it was all ugly stuff. And thats the stereotype of eco clothing; but the thing is, organic and reused garments don't have to be, and a lot of times are not.

She is this tall, blonde barbie doll of a woman who loves ACDC and used to own a motorcycle and would ride it in her high heels. Yes, its all true. But she also knits and sews and she loves making those little crafty things that maybe only grandmas or crazy cat ladies make. I'm talking little stuffed animal cats holding wooden signs that say HAPPY HALLOWEEN. Or little dolls who wear aprons that say what month it is. Do you know what I mean? She is one of my idols. If I have bought high heel shoes with wooden bottoms (anytime I see a high heel wooden clog I think AUNT DONNA SHOESSSSSS), its because they reminded me of her. Do you ever do that? Buy something to wear because it reminds you of someone you miss?<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF6DEu4VoGtf8OIzN4pbKdQ3zl-9SBHRzlYtnliHJHvyi6d5OqOB-Gf_40078eanMGyEJzzM-7MTigWKvIEcdsoWkOykvkhyBXm5VuVtBZaERoOmKmdhgR7aWqYsta4dddSry3vCr1U2s8/s400/IMG_4538.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 228px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537641701349340946" />A friend from work gave me this cardigan that I never would have bought on my own, but I have gotten so many compliments on it. <div><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2k7-CSIdD52jmQtFH-KD0DLxaePdFwq7SI8aiFfGTaO7huH5jFq33j2n60h_DSCF4CzoGfHdZIpNGIv80CJSSU12CqAYMXpJLhAMAEUZF8kJgW-DaBZoaiWblqtxKbFubQxm84svPyZbF/s400/IMG_4566.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 262px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537641708082917218" /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;">This little sweater clip is an awesome accessory.
