White Party

The most recent challenge for Project Designer is to design an outfit that can be worn to P. Diddy’s annual white party. It must all be white, including the accessories and must be inspired by our model’s nationality. I got Willemina and since she’s of English descent, I got inspiration from the boned corsets of the 1800’s and Scottish luxury cloths. I made everything out of traditional Harris tweed. It’s a corset top pencil cut dress- slashed very high up on one side. It has two strips of leather running down the front and back. The leather serves as straps and that part is lined with white velvet underneath. Willemina is also wearing pumps and carrying a wrist bag made of the same tweed as the dress. The only jewellery she’s wearing is an antique cameo neck piece. Here’s the drawing:

The procrastinator in me made me rush this last night. It was due May 8th 5pm central and I was up until 4am finishing this and submitting it. Lol.

Anyway, yesterday I was looking for a new pair of glasses. And I think I realy really love this pair from Bebe:

What do you guys think? I really love the how it’s slightly angled toward the middle. It looked nice on me when I tried them on. If I don’t find anything I like better, I’m getting a pair next week. We always get our eyeglasses and contact lenses and some sunglasses (my whole family) from George Optical. We’re the only ones they give discounts to every time we buy because we’ve been patronising them for so long.. lol.

Oh yes, this is my other drawing from the other challenge.. I didn’t like it at all, though.. So I wasn’t all that happy about it. I made a mistake in choosing which outfit to deconstruct and base my new outfit on. (Click on it for the a larger view and the full description.)

I’ve been baking like a mad pastry chef this past few days.. weeks. After almost half a dozen batches of cupcakes, I believe I have perfected The Cupcake. I like my cupcakes moist inside and topped with fun, surprisingly flavoured toppings with cream cheese and butter cream bases. Other than that, I’ve baked a French Apple Crumble (dad’s request- it’s a variation of an apple pie), a flourless chocolate cake and will be baking brownie-like cookies later. Lol. Pictures coming soon.

I am working on a ton of projects which I hope will all turn out for the best. I’ll give you guys a hint on one of them though: I will be attending classes in this institution very soon: Instituto di Marangoni. It’s one of the very best fashion schools in the world. I want to go to the campus in Milan. Just their placement services is to die.. take a look at this:

Oh. And I have almost finished (just a few more tweaks) a commissioned theme for Beauty and Minerals. They sell mineral makeup- makeup that actually does good for your skin.
