Aloha ladies!
Yuck.. we're heading into Fall.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the coziness of a wool jacket on a cool day, and wearing stockings without overheating. Most of all, I'm excited to shop for a 49er jacket!
A 49er jacket, for those who don't already know, is a wool coat by a company called Pendleton. They're still in business to this day, however the iconic '49er' model is what they're widely known for, specifically within the vintage community.
I have never owned one, and this year I'm dead set on finding one just like this:
They are almost always available on eBay and etsy, woohoo! However finding the correct size and a print you like can be tough which is why I don't have one already, boo!
Soo, this past Monday, I graduated from makeup school!! I am now officially licensed, and I couldn't be more excited to make a career out of it someday.
In our last class, every student participated in a competition which involved us coming up with a theme, creating a costume, and directing a hair student from the school for her styling.
My theme was titled "retro tiki". Cliche, hmm? Heck, I don't care, I thought of it the night prior because my original theme fell through prop-wise.
Here is my lovely model, Diana, sans costume because she wanted out of it!
For her hair, the student made her first ever victory roll attempt. AHH.
It was baaaad. I mean, God bless her for trying. But everyone has seen other girls sporting them many a times and they
still look unperfected. Does that make me an ass for saying it? Ehh.. yeah. I'm an ass.
So it turned into this. I wanted to get my hands on her, but my professor threatened me not to touch her head, ha!! . Ah, she knows me too well!..
Anyhow, this look managed to win me FIRST PLACE!! Well, hot damn!
I celebrated with a cocktail and a skype date with Justin in the backyard:
I even won a bagful of goodies, including Carolina Herrera perfume and a Dior foundation!
I graduated at the top of my class, and my prof even asked me to be her assistant on a job next month!
If only finding work in makeup seemed so easy in New York once I move. Ugh.
Last weekend, my town had their annually held Autofest, which closes off the entirety of our downtown main streets and even some side streets to fill them with pre 65 classic cars.
I actually did a photoshoot there with a photographer I know and got a couple of fun shots including this:
This was my first time actually modelling with a classic car (it was a beautiful black Ford coupe). This is also an attempt at being 'foxy'. Haha. How did I score? Or maybe I don't want to know!..
I also got a few photos of some of the cars at the show:
Ahh yes, I mustn't forget to finish off with an outfit post! This is from a couple of days ago, as I've been slightly lazy with photo taking (just like how lazy I am with blogging- wompp wommppp):
Anddd a picture of my goofy face..
Am I doing better at this blogging thing, now? I try to keep you visually stimulated, as I feel like I'm just blah blah blah-ing and you're thinking "Jesus Christ, woman, shut up and give me something to not read!"
Let me know if I'm still sucking.
Hope you're all having a great weekend! Next blog I'll fill you kittens in on my etsy shop! :)
xo!!
