Donut Talk to Me

$up,
Sorry for my absence this past week. Things have been pretty hectic and yet not. I have had class every day this week, but there is a lack of consistency with the times and people in the classes I am going to. for example today I had class at 4:30-6:30 and it was with BA footwear and FDA footwear, but yesterday I had a lecture at 9am to 10am with a whole different course and the day before that there was a class in mid afternoon that had about 10 kids in it. I can't always take a picture of my outfit mostly because of the weather. I'm still trying to figure out this whole living in London thing, I guess. I've been told the weather has been surprisingly good this year, but to my california blood it's been cold and rainy. I am adjusting though! These pictures were taken yesterday for a friends photo project. I don't know what the project was for, but I loved doing it, it was really fun. I also got paid in donuts, which is always a plus. A good way to get my love is giving me sweets, or flowers (but that's pretty obvious).

I am wearing two different outfits in these pictures. The all pink long sleeve dress is from that rummage sale I mentioned in the last post, I absolutely adore it. The other dress I have worn before on my blog. I got it in the Camden Market. It was a really great find, and I still am obsessed with it. The donut necklace I am wearing is from Cyber Dog in Camden Town, and the earrings I got in the market in that area. My headband is actually a real donut, thank god it didn't fall off.

All these pictures were taken by Rachel Dunlop, and please please check out her facebook page here and her website here, she is so talented!

$up,
I had an interview over the phone this morning with London College of Fashion. It was at 3 in the afternoon in London, which is 7 in the morning here. That is like in the middle of the night for me (I'm not a morning person.). I was really nervous because I had an interview 2 weeks ago, and the women that interviewed me was not the most friendly. She acted like she didn't like any of the answers I was giving her. The end of that interview she wanted me to send her more artwork and then I would get a follow up interview. So this morning someone else called me from the college and he was soo much nicer. I took a breath of relief when I herd someone else's voice on the other end of the phone. He seemed to really like all the answers I gave him, which made me feel great. He told me when he first saw my artwork he was like "She's mad!" but when he looked at the other artwork I had sent in he realized that I was "very talented, and a well rounded artist." This made me feel so wonderful. And then we started talking about the course that I had applied for (Foundations in Shoe Design). He asked me why I applied for this course when I had written in personal statement that I my goal was to get a Bachelors degree in shoe design. I said that I didn't feel that I had enough knowledge about shoe design, and didn't want to be over my head. He then went on to tell me that I was ready for the Bachelors Degree program and then he offered me a spot. I was so ecstatic I quickly said "I would love to!"

You guys, I'm moving to London!

Music- Asleep- The Smiths. I love this song. I feel like when songs like this are used in popular movies (Perks of Being a Wallflower) they kind of get ruined in a sense. Not really ruined but I guess the musically ignorant people think that the song was made for the movie. People that saw that movie that have never herd of the smiths, I am happy that you learned about them, because they are super great. But they are old and this song does not "belong" to that movie.
