good eveniiiiing!
havent updated in a long time.
I just got back from visiting my parents and before that I headed downtown to the fabric district to pick up some more materials for my candyland collection. I am so excited to have everything done! Although I still have alot more work to do :(
Since I last updated I had my fashion show at King king Hollywood on the 9th. It was for a promo pilot filming for MTV so everyone keep your fingers crossed still! It was nearly a disaster and sort of a nightmare but I don't think anyone could tell.
I hate things that arent completely professional, but it was for a pilot filming so I thought it has the potential to be a good opportunity....we will see.

This weekend half of me moved to santa monica..finally! I have always wanted to move there. Jon moved into his new apartment/house and it is right next to third street and mtv studios and the famous santa monica pier. I love it so much down there. I still live where I live, about 30 minutes away from there because its too soon to move in together and I like to feel independent =P Besides, as nice as his new place is, mine is much bigger and roomier and I'd hate to give this up! I need all my closet space and extra bedroom to sew in :) I am going down there in a few hours to relax and have some sushi and play xbox :D

Tomorrow I have a photoshoot with my friend Jenae...I have been shooting with her for over two years i think? And we havent done anything together for a while so I am excited to finally have some new pictures by her up! She also referred me and Jon to a friend of hers that has a Production company called Young Hollywood...they are doing some stuff for LA Fashion week and have an upcoming showcase at BOXeight studios and are very interested in my clothing so we will see what happens! Also have been hitting up some new magazines and making new contacts.

Valentines day was amazing, and other than everything I just wrote, I have been working at BCBGmaxazria and hanging out with some friends...

Time to go sort through all my new fabrics and get started! Look at my new video if you guys wanna see some pieces i have working on :) i dont really have ADD like I claim to...just seems like it sometimes =P

^^^ ps fake leather jacket...as everyone should wear!

Just as disgusting as fur, in my opinion. People these days really need to stop being so ignorant and careless and think twice about the kind of clothing they wear. Some of all your favorite little fashion icons (which some actually even claim to be vegetarians!) proudly wear leather, and there is nothing worst than a hypocrite and a liar- especially on such a subject which many people like myself are so passionate about.

There is no reason to wear leather, fur, or any other "fashion" forward non-animal-friendly item. We are living in 2009! There are a ridiculous amount of alternatives these days, so in my eyes those that still insist on wearing dead animals on their back are just plain cruel and don't deserve any respect.

I don't own anything that is genuine leather or fur- not even if its "vintage." I go out of my way to make sure the things I buy are cruelty free. And I STILL have a kick-ass, fashion-forward wardrobe.

As all of you know, I am a  fashion designer. Not once in my designs have I ever even considered using fur, leather, or silk and I take great offense to those that do. And my designs are STILL pretty damn rad if I do say so myself. Using animal skin for any use- especially "fashion" needs to be banned and these so-called "fashionistas" need a reality check.

And for the record, I am an animal-friendly, vegetarian, PETA-loving fashion designer. =P

Hi muffins
I am sitting here right now listening to rod stewart and bryan adams and a bunch of other songs from the 80s. Best era ever, in my opinion....even though I was only alive for one year of it.

Next week is my fashion show at King King in Hollywood! It is going to be for an MTV promo filming, so I am keeping my fingers crossed :) I am not displaying anything new in the show, just past collections and pieces because I am currently working on my fallwinter09 collection called CANDYLAND. Lots of bright satins, lace, lame, lycra, and tafeta for this series :D it is going to be really really really cool and I know i keep saying that but only because it is!



They spelled my name and my brand wrong but whatever. Its supposed to be all one word :(


This past week I have been working on a few orders, and most recently am working on a zebrakini order to send out to someone in Italy. Pretty rad that I have customers overseas =P I went out a few nights this past week for dancing drinks and hanging out. Its nice to get out every once in a while, but I am such a loser at heart that I always just prefer to stay in and work on clothes.







Please excuse my negative attitude towards a social life but people and friends really truly honestly just suck. Or maybe I just have bad luck with them? Some people, actually 90% of all the ones I have met, simply have no substance to themselves.
Whatever. Who needs friends when you have a dream? =P


I'm hungry. I just ate a giant bowl of delicious broccolli and now I want some vegetable soup from trader joe's. I have been trying really hard these past few days to eat even healthier than I already do so I can just clean out my body and feel even better. There are so many toxins and gross stuff in food these days. My weakness is cheese and late nite taco bell munchies, so no more of that....or just as little as possible =P

I read in order to naturally detox your body you must rid yourself of alcohol coffee and cigarettes for two whole weeks, as well as shampoos and deodorants and those are all something that I can definitley NOT do. So I am doing it my own way =P


I have work today at bcbg then coming home to cuddle with jon. Happy monday night everyone xoxo
