i created a clutch out of plastic vinyl stitched with coral thread. i loved that the vinyl material could allow the bag to be filled with anything. even liquids. somehow i came to the conclusion that i wanted to filled the clutch with live goldfish. so, i went to petco and got five new friends for the perfect way to document the clutches unlimited possibilities.

face off
last week i took a portrait painting class where we had quite the unusual assignment. we were given partners, and both started to paint each other's right eye. then we were told to trade canvases. and had to paint each others left eye. this went on until we had completely painted half and half of each other's face. not only were we combining our facial features, but meshing together our painting styles. the end result of the collaboration was well worth it.

party film
i bought a disposable camera at urban outfitters which adds effects on top of your film. i love bringing cameras like these to concerts and parties because you never know what you'll get. ironically, one photo which was raining confetti ended up as the same photo of me with my raincoat hood up. sometimes they turn out of strangers at a concert instead of your friend who took your camera, and sometimes you forget to turn on the flash and end up with a silhouette.

cover story
sometimes when i get bored, i end up on drawing on whatever is around. sometimes it includes magazine covers. the original covers are on the right to show the transformation.

three
summer is here. which means lots of time to mess with lomography cameras which seem to only take successful photos in pure sunshine. this photo was taken by my friend momo with her holga film camera which has a multiple exposure effect. (wearing a free people lace dress and diy flower crown)

storm chasing
storm clouds have been hovering over the past few weeks. as i rode a train out of the city yesterday we seemed to be heading straight into a storm. it was an amazing view from the upper level of the car.

midnight marauders
every once and a while, i come across a new company or brand that i really want to support. i'm not sure what it is about the new online thrift store, midnight marauders, but there's something i love about the company. based in new jersey, midnight marauders is a group of ambitious teens who raid thrift stores throughout new york city, and pick the best vintage finds for their website.
midnight marauders was established by amira rasool and co-creative director nichole llewellyn. the founders have a vision of exactly what their brand stands for: "we take vintage pieces from the distant past or items from a few seasons prior and reinvent them in a way only a midnight marauder can. whether your style is urban, preppy, eclectic, boho, or ect, you'll find there is a little bit of a midnight marauder in you. our mission is to make secondhand shopping accessible to the masses by providing qualitiy and convenient services."and that is exactly what the brand does. the hardest part about thrift shopping is having to sort through all of the things that you wouldn't want in your wardrobe. but midnight marauders has done this for you while keeping the clothes at great deals.
the next thing i love about midnight marauders is the beautiful lookbook
they put together each season. the summer 2013 lookbook was shot in new york city.
below are some of my favorite looks from the summer 2013 collection. since the pieces are one of a kind vintage, you have to act fast before someone else purchases your favorite item.

lace
this dress modeled by my friend tara is my most recent design. i created the dress out of black lace and jersey material using scalloped edges and an alternation between materials. we photographed the piece wandering the streets of chicago and ended up taking most of the photos in front of the picasso statue.
green anxiety
last week i officially completed my junior year of high school. i was flipping through all of the
film photos i took this year when i came across these two. i remember the night these were
taken i was so overwhelmed and my green desk lamp only added to this weird anxiety
that seemed to loom over the school year.
