Sunday Stroll

A walk around the our hood in the Latin Quarter and then over to the Marais to stuff our selves silly at yummy L'as du Fallafel...I could walk this city for an eternity...

Sketches

I've been exercising my sketching skills. I really enjoy the process + although I usually stay away from sketching people, I'm working through it. I really have a soft spot for patterns and I had the chance to sketch some kimonos....really lovely.

Fashion Smashion

The first day I entered the classroom and saw the dummy forms, I smiled and thought, "wow, I'm really doing this"...

It's def. a tedious process, but very interesting. I have a new found appreciation for the fashion design process. Here's some quick shots from the classroom. My skirt looks a lil' gnarly, but hey - I mean I actually made it- cool stuff...

To flea or not to flea.....

Sundays are sacred. The day usually begins by burrowing into the sheets for as long as possible, followed by slumping out of bed at the last possible moment + sitting down for a proper breakfast. No rushing to classes, no worries about clients e-mailing, no nothing.

The best thing about the Sunday's here in Paris - is that they are all of the above, plus the open-air markets! This might be one of my favorite parts of my new Parisian life...and besides the regular fare from the boulangerie or patisserie, the flea markets are open for the picking.

This morning, I took a stroll with my buddy Chase through the Sunday flea market in the south of the city. I felt like I was walking through a treasure chest, such beautiful interesting objects everywhere I turned...

When I grow up...

My mind has been swirling lately... living in Paris is overwhelming inspiring and having the opportunity to push myself at school has been eye opening. With that in mind - I'm anticipating the next steps, wherever the wind blows me... I just want to make + share beautiful things.

Fingers crossed - we shall see...in the meantime, perhaps I can climb into the suitcase of this lucky man. What an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G gig!
