Sea of Shoes

Sea of Shoes

So I've been debating going shoe shopping for a few weeks now, and its not because I NEED to go buy new shoes, but because I want different versions of what I already have. I think this is the problem most girls have when it comes to clothes. Its not that we need all of it, but there's always some variation on what we already own and its interesting so we purchase it. And hey, you never know where you might be going that you might need to wear it.

Another reason I want to go shoe shopping is because I now have a 'real' job in which I can wear different types of clothes and outfits, so in the past my clothes have worked for me, but now i find myself not having the right shoes to go with my outfits.

This blog has inspired me to go find a few great pairs of boots and maybe some pumps that I can walk in without feeling like a giant (I am already 5'10") and feel comfortable wearing while walking to work and/or standing up at a bar for a good few hours. All many important things to consider when shoe shopping....so wish me luck! Bout to spend some good hard earned money that I should probably be saving for rent and bills....

Designer//Slash//Model

This website was made and designed by a Digital Kitchen, which is a digital design firm that creates interesting and cutting edge graphics for clients such as BMW, HBO, Discovery Channel, etc.

This particular site is a satirical promo for DK to show their personality and how they take a tongue and cheek look at the world of design.

Take a gander!

Love this!

Been a While

Yes, I believe it has been 5 months since my last post. I guess I get caught up in life and don't much feel like posting my ideas out to the world. But I have been keeping myself busy.

I graduated from NCSU in Graphic Design in May, then I began an internship at the North Carolina Theatre in Raleigh in June. This was a great opportunity for me because I love theater, and when I was younger I had the dream of designing for Playbill and this was my chance to design for a theatre company even if it wasn't Playbill. I also had the opportunity to work with some amazing women while meeting great people.

Halfway through this internship I got my first freelance design job and soon after I began a full-time position (non-salary) at a small exhibit design firm downtown, which I am still currently working at.  And also this summer, I traveled a lot of family reasons and now my sister is engaged!!! And now I will begin working on her wedding invitations and save-the-dates. I have also started to participate in AIGA Raleigh, and a friend and myself have begun a Design Collaborative.

So its been crazy, but I love keeping myself busy and I have really appreciated all of the experiences I have had in these past months, they have been invaluable.
