everything is coming up roses.
just got off the phone with my amazing boss. she was so happy to tell me how her brand is blossoming and her product is getting international attention. i am so happy to be a part of it, and i feel so blessed to be in the industry i love. in one week i will be in napa again to be assist in a winter inspiration shoot as a stylist with her and matt edge. i am pretty darn happy but i can’t believe it’s a week away! i need to go out and run errands today and prepare. did i mention i was blessed with a new car? no more junker for me and i couldn’t be more thankful.. everything is just wonderful.

in transit: welcome home.
its been a couple years and i’ve been jumping from one dream to the next, one highway to the next, house to house and every time i’ve carried all my life in a suitcase. with no solid ground beneath my feet, for a clumsy girl i think i’ve done my best balancing this whirlwind life of mine. although the longest i’ve stayed somewhere since i left mariposa county was 4 years, i would never call that place a home because it never was. it wasn’t safe. it wasn’t mine. it was nothing but hell, i still hate that place. ever since i left, every place i’ve slept has not been home to me. and all of this is about to change. a new door has opened and i can finally call it mine (or ours, i love my housemates!) and i couldn’t be happier. the next year has a lot of change going on and even though it will probably be both good and bad, it’s still a learning process i am excited for. i’m in between dreams and finally, there is stable ground beneath my feet. cheers.

It’s that amazing time in life when you realize that you are 19 years old with an [almost] college degree and getting paid to design pretty things. So, I made it through the first week of acadamia at FIDM.  9 more to go then graduation. Other than realizing my life is painfully lovely right now, I also realized another thing: online classes are the pits. 2/5 of my classes are online and I am having trouble getting the hang of it. But I plan on the F and D I recieved on my first quizzes today will be the first & last failing grades I ever receive. Next week will be better. Juggling a full course load, online classes, a commute, a crap sandwich shop job, and a dream job can be frustrating. I’m learning how to deal with the obstacles so pardon my bitching for the next few weeks while I’m getting used to this new lifestyle. I just wanted to say that I am completely stressed with a smile on my face. It’s that amazing time in life when you realize that you are 19 years young and every day is a blessing whether it be dressed in rain and dropped calls or in your face. Life is beautiful and I’m learning how to deal.

American dreams came true somehow
I swore I’d chase until I was dead
I heard the streets were paved with gold
That’s what my father said

No one even knows what life was like
Now I’m in LA and it’s paradise
I’ve finally found you
Oh, sing it to me

Now my life is sweet like cinnamon
Like a fucking dream I’m living in
Baby love me cause I’m playing on the radio
(How do you like me now?)

photoshoot in my kitchen.

sitting on the floor trying to get good shots of my work with little means, whilst listening to new jams on spotify. i’m pretty happy, and there’s ice cream. tonight will be a night of photo optimization, sweets, and portfolio stuffs. tomorrow will be a day of printing printing printing. here goes nothing.

One of the hardest quarters at FIDM is fall quarter (at least in my opinion), BUT guess who made it through with all A’s and B’s? This girl(:
