Sunday!

Today has been filled with laziness, homework, collage making, and cups of pumpkin spice lattes. It's cold here in this windy city that I live in, I even had to bust out my wool winter coat last night! I was out and about running errands the other night for my design class, so I had to go to Blick Art Supplies...which was confusing. I had never purchased any intense art supplies, so I spent quite a bit trying to find each item on my list.

Next week, I have to start sketching in my design class which will be...interesting? I'm a little nervous I must confess; I have never liked my sketches from home, so I am taking this class to help me better my sketching and hopefully my sewing. Unfortunately, the homework load in that class, plus the other 4 classes I am taking, have assigned me a "shit load" of homework. Papers are needed to be typed, books need to be finished read, poster boards are needed to be made--it's just all this book work which I really do not enjoy.

On the plus side, I got to see my sister this weekend, go thrift shopping, and make dance videos with a friend on my floor. Some of my pals and I went to Wicker Park to check out the consignment shops. I found a store I really liked called Crossroads that had great prices, even for designer pieces! I bought a purse for 10 bucks that was one of the unused items in the store, AMAZING. I applied there and am supposed to call tomorrow to see if I get the job! CROSS YOUR FINGERS!! Then we all headed over to Buffalo Exchange, which is another store like Crossroads, but a little expensivo. I ended up finding a large, soft cardigan from the mends section--it was only 9 bucks! My mother would be so proud.

Saturday night, I went out to CVS across the street to get some nail shtuff, and bumped into fall decor! Now my door is covered is a garland of leaves, and my room is filled with pumpkin scented candles. I'll soon be back there to purchase the 2 for $10 light-up pumpkins for our window! Can't wait for the holidays! It's my favorite time of the year :)

Oh, I hope everyone is enjoying my fashion sets I have been making! I needed to make a couple for my visual merchandising class, but now I am starting to create my own so I can get some practice on visual displays. There will be a lot updated every week, so get used to it haha.

Well, time to get some more work done and to refill another cup of this delish latte-yay fall!
