Teach me how to knit, teach me teach me how to knit

I attended my first ever Knit Night yesterday, which happens to be (conveniently) at my house! Beer, pizza, cookies, tea, knitting. And a little bit of DJ Kaiya. So, against my better judgement, I've learned how to knit... as if I needed another hobby. I also have a very tight schedule this week, as we are learning a coordinated dance to (Korea's best boy band) 2PM's "Hands Up". Check it.

Cookin' Up a Storm: Stuffed Shells

As some of you may know, I wouldn't exactly call myself a chef. Or say I cooked. Anything. Ever. Since living in Italy, though, I've started to cook a tiny bit more (very tiny). Tonight I made stuffed shells for the first time ever! I'm very proud. Check it

October!

Hey all! October has been a really busy month for me- my collection is coming along, and I've been on quite a few academic trips. Went to a trend forecast presentation in Como, and shortly after, the 4th year students (there's only 5 of us!) went to Biella for three days to hit up the natural luxury textile producers/designers, and to see their factories. These are images from Loro Piana, who is the creator of the most beautiful natural textiles I have ever had the pleasure of touching. Check it
