Where is the time going?!

Hello, end of March?!?! I can't believe how fast these past few months have gone. Although I'm a lunatic getting ready for this fashion show, I'm absolutely in love with the weather. All I want to do is lay in a park in the sun. Sadly, not gonna happen. I've been working really hard on my final thesis (fashion show) that is taking place the end of May, and I just wanted to say that I will be updating about that more often (it's getting exciiiitiiiing). 


I'm not sure if I've mentioned this, but there are only 4 other girls in my class. We want to show as much as we can, so instead of designing the mandatory 3 looks, we're all doing 5-7 looks. We also have an amazing group of professors who have helped get fabric sponsors and a location! Instead of feeling like we're having a "student exhibit", we've been given the opportunity to have an actual fashion show for our first collections. I could talk about this forever, but just one last thing :) I'm taking a printing class in Como, Italy, and it's the most amazing experience of my life. For this collection (which I've been calling "Crunch"), I have designed my own prints which are in the process of being printed. Almost all of my fabrics are original designs. Can't wait!


Here are some pictures from Milano Carnival to satisfy your Exploratory craving...

Check it.

Duomo was paaaacked

Really? An umbrella?

Winter, winter go away.

I know I'll get senioritis (if I don't have it already) as soon as it gets nice out, but I'm really done with the cold. Not that I want to retire my moon boots just yet, but I'm really sick today, and cranky at the winter. Thought I had nothing to post, but found some images from before my dear friends left for Parigi. There are some pictures to prove I can make a fire, and also that I AM getting my Vit-C. 

Check it.

Jinjoo making the Korean sush'.

 Binna and the seaweed

 

After they made this rice, Binna made tea out of the burnt rice stuck to the pot. Probably the most delicious thing I've ever had

Gli ingredienti

Orange meets blood orange and has a baby. This is that baby!

 Also, I think these are the 2nd coolest shoes I've ever owned 

(I used to have a pair of black glitter patent leather boots. Can't top that.)

Berlin Part 2

Ciao a tutti! Here is the second (read: best) part of Berlin! What you've all been waiting for: The Dali museum and the Ramones museum! Oh, how I enjoyed my time in Germany. Not only did I constantly discover interesting places and cool stores, the food was so delicious. 


I'm trying to catch up with all my pictures! Frankie was here until today, and school starts tomorrow, but I'm trying my best :)
For now...

Check it.

Some tile I saw on the ground

Ramones Museum of Berlin!

Berlin, where Jackii will become a starving artist and eventually die (happy)

Long story short, Berlin rules. The seniors (all 5 of us) took a 4-5 day trip to attend a few trade shows and fashion shows during Berlin Fashion Week. We went to Bread & Butter, which is my favorite trade show so far, as well as Premium and..an eco-show I can't remember the name of right now. We ended up having one of the last days free, which was realllly nice. I used it to check out the Dali museum and the Ramones museum! I also did a little bit of shopping- not too much because I left my wallet in a cab the first day- but the stores were really tiny & really cool.


P.S. I need to separate these because I have so many pictures. This is the first 2-3 days. I'll post the Ramones and Dali museums next.

So, I like the weird stuff. Typewriter hat.

Kenny Random.

It was cold. I wore Moon Boots. Everywhere.

Ron Galella exhibit- I can't say I condone paparazzi so I wasn't sure about it. But another exhibit inside was VERY intense. I was really moved by the photographer's work: Gundula Schulze Eldowy.

Free At Last

I am free at last from the chains of 7th semester work (only to be imprisoned once more in 2 weeks. The dreaded 8th semester!!!) 

I'm only being a tiny bit dramatic, & I'm not even dreading starting class again- just really happy to have a little time off. Actually, this whole semester will be dedicated to my final collection which I haven't talked about all that much in this blog, but it's inspired by insects. Enough about me! I have so many pictures that need to go up here. I got back from Berlin yesterday, & have some really sweet images, but I'm a little backlogged. SO! You're gonna have to wait for those bad boys. Here's the catch up from before I left for Germany:

 We all went out last last weekend for Isadora's b-day

We all know my dream is actually food photography

I come home from one of the busiest days Isadora & I have had all year, and she is standing in the kitchen making these little savory pastries. So amazing.

 

The finished product!

Next up: Berlin

Happy New Year!

I wonder how many posts are titled "Happy New Year!" in the blogosphere.

I had a really amazing time in Amsterdam, but I am now back in Milano. One week of school, then to Berlin! I'm really embarrassed to say this, but I didn't take one picture on New Year's Eve. So wild.. outside looked like a battle field with smoke everywhere- it was really the most fun. Had the nicest dinner at a friend's house (which just so happens to be a historical building in Amsterdam, & is also the coolest house ever), and then around midnight the coffee shop across the canal set off something like 100,000 fireworks. 


While I cannot prove any of this because I am a bad person who forgets to carry a camera, some other cool stuff was captured during the rest of my trip. Including cake pops (sadly, looked amazing, tasted DISGUSTING).
