My Dream Job

It's very difficult to get anywhere if you don't know where you want to go. When I decided to pursue a degree in apparel design, I knew exactly what I wanted to do and that was to design disc golf wear for women. As I went through the program and was introduced to more areas of fashion and design, I wasn't so sure of what I wanted to do anymore. Now, coming to the end of the program and closer to graduation I know what I want to do again. The funny thing is, it hasn't really changed much, it's just including different things than I originally planned.

So, my dream job now is to design outer wear in Asia. I would love to come back and start my disc golf clothing company, but I feel so much more complete knowing I can combine the love of functional design with amazingly different Asian designs. This epiphany came about by watching this video: Big Bang & The North Face

Please give it a watch! It's great! And here's some photos in case you are too lazy:

Can't get any more CUTE!!

Always around Christmas time and holidays, I find myself perusing the web just looking at stuff. My website of choice this year has been deviantart.com. It never ceases to amaze me the kind of talent that is found on that website.

Recently I discovered Oboro Charms, which are soooo CUTE!! If you didn't know, there is a whole sub-culture of Japanese Kawaii (cute) that has ridiculously cute everything. This store is bringing that idea to the states. Had I made this discovery a little earlier, these would have made great little stocking stuffers my fam! Oh well, maybe a future birthday gift :)

Here are some of the Holiday charms that I think are soooo adorable!



Now go check out their website!
