My 6 Month Missions

Despite my blog being about design and fashion, I also try to merge in my personal life sometimes. Lately I have had a lot of things I want to get on my mental “To Do” list. But haven’t done anything concrete about it. I figure if I write about it, post it online and make myself accountable, it will happen a lot of faster. Plus, it’s always great to have goals. So, here are mine!

• Buy a sewing machine
• Learn how to sew a dress
• Run the SF half Marathon – 13.2 miles
• Focus less on freelance and more on music
• Release my fashion app in the App Store

I used to sew a lot in high school. I would modify my clothes often and miss how relaxing it was. I think its good to have a sewing machine in general, but want to know how to use it for more complicated patterns.

I’m running the SF half marathon in July, I am so excited. Finally a big race that will be a huge check in my list.

I love freelance, I have been fortunate to have great clients. Although I think that it’s  time to focus less on working for others and get some of my own personal things accomplished. I’ll be my own client for once!

My fashion app has been in development for about 3 months now. Still a lot of UI and engineering to be done but it’s nice that it’s finally an actual usable app on a device. There is a lot more to go, but I just need to get it done.

What are your goals for the next 6 months? I think it’s great to set both short and long term goals. It keeps life interesting and makes me even more motivated.

Sweet Spring Purses

Spring, my favorite time of year. I was tickled to find out that the spring colors were some of my favorites. Pastels of purple, pinks and mint greens. I have quite an extensive purse hobby. During my midnight window shopping on my iPad, I came across these adorable and lovely colored spring bags.

1. Tory Burch - Robinson Mini Satchel | This is such a pretty pink! It’s almost a nude color, which means it  will be very versatile to any wardrobe.

2. Reed Krakoff  - ‘Boxer’ Leather Satchel | Such a happy light lime green. It kind of reminds me of a Birkin shape but not too close. The sweet little belt that goes around it makes it look sophisticated. Great for adding color to your early morning commute bag.

3.  Valentina - Satchel | It’s sad that right now this purse is sold out. Although I am determined to find it somewhere threaded inside the web. The light green almost sage color is so pretty. Although it also comes in a few other colors that really compliment the style of bag well.

4.  Marc Jacobs - Classic Q Baby Aidan | Bowling bag shape, this is a great everyday bag. The color will go with a lot of different outfits and the body strap allows you to swing it over your shoulder or cross body and walk around the city hands free.

Modeling a collection at RAW

I am modeling one Stephanie Bodnar’s collections at RAW tonight with a bunch of other ladies. It’s at the awesome facility of 1015 Folsom in SOMA. If  you’re in the area and want to come to a fun event tonight full of fashion and music, then come! It starts at 7 PM and tickets are $15 at the door.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Liz through Twitter in the end of 2011. She’s a talented web and graphic designer, with an excellent taste in fashion. Her blog is delightful and every post has a quality that  you don’t see often. I really admire the way she is able to draw people in and also her eye for graphic and interior design.
Liz is someone you should follow and subscribe to, especially if you are a lady who loves fashion + design. She’s a beautiful mix of both and this is someone you do not want to miss out on! She has also been a great friend to me. Her beauty goes so much farther than skin deep.
