I'm not a man, but if I was a man I would be wearing these amazing jackets and hoodies by La Merde. My friend Rob, soon to be husband of one of my all-time best friends, has amazing style and showed me these...
The attention to detail is out of this world! Seriously, drool!!! Not to mention, I have an intense love for seersucker anything, so the fact that they made a hoodie and a jacket out of seersucker...I'm sold. Like or dislike?
So, I've been working on my admissions project, and I must say, I've been feeling a bit discouraged. I thought that I could just jump right in and start sketching just like I never stopped some years ago...Not the case. It's definitely something I'm out of practice with and have to do daily to get my chops back. So, as I add to my notebook daily, I've decided to also get some insipiration from other artists out there. Here is one group of sketches I adore! The artist is Sandra Suy. I like how she brings to life elements of her drawings by using splashes of color, and at the same time, is very detailed in her sketch. What do you think?
So, I figured I should give you all an update on my status of pursuing my dream...I have everything pretty much done except for my project and apparently FIDM hasn't received my transcripts still. So, I need to check in on that and get my butt going on my project - the hardest part for me. I truly enjoy drawing and working on the admissions project for FIDM, but I definitely thought it was going to come more easily to me than it is. I find my perfectionistic self getting in the way of the enjoyment and eating me up to the point of discouragement. I truly am my own worst enemy.
Back in November, I went to an entrepreneurs conference. One of the biggest things I took away from the conference was that most people fail at starting their own company when they reach the point of implementation. Either they can't figure out how to implement their idea/dream or they discourage themselves from following through. Knowing how to finish my project isn't the question. It's thinking thinking the lies of "I don't stand a chance," "What the heck are you thinking," "There is so much competition out there. You'll never make it," and the list goes on.
As I write this, I'm just realizing how silly it is of me to even think those big picture thoughts when all I'm doing is finishing an application! Goodness. Anyhoo, there's some insight into my mind.
Anyone understand where I'm coming from? How did your pursuits of your goals turn out?
Okay, guys, here's another one...Natalie Portman vs. Keira Knightely, which has better fashion sense?Again, one is American and one is British - both have amazing style! They have figures that high fashion clothes love to live on. Even their faces are similar. So similar, in fact, that one of Knightely's first on-screen acting gigs was Star Wars Episode 1 where she sometimes acted as a body double for Natalie Portman! Both of these girls are loved in my book, but do you think that one has superior red carpet style?
NATALIE PORTMAN
KEIRA KNIGHTELY
