Bohemian Musings

In usual J and E tradition, we have craft time tonight on the last night of my visit. I came down to Statesboro last week for J’s graduation and closing show, which was awesome. So proud of her! :)

Today, after hitting up the movies…. Four Christmases is awesome btw. We had craft time. I made a feather clip for my hair like the 24 dollar one I saw last night at Urban Outfitters in Savannah. Only differences, my is handmade and the materials cost me less than a dollar. Take that Urban!

Here’s some pics from my lappy’s webcam :)

These are the shirts that you’ve all heard me freaking out over for the last 2 weeks, between the design changes and the nightmare that was FedEx with the shipping…. This is the shirt that Rodney Atkins may be wearing tonight during his performance at the CMA’s. Ellie told me what he wanted, and I designed it for an option tonight and for him to wear on tour. Supposedly he loves it. If he does wear one of these tonight, it will be an amazing moment. :) But I’m not hold my breath. :)

*Update* So he didn’t wear the shirt. Which sucks, but hopefully when his tour starts up I’ll be able to round up some images of him wearing it then. :)

Round 2….

You guys always hear me talking about the Mart. Here’s a picture I snagged last time I was there. Doesn’t nearly communicate the size of the place though…

Alexandra’s 21 Bday:

I love him. :)

I’ve also became an incredible bowler. Sadly it was 2am and I did not get to finish this game. It would have been crazy awesome…. :( Notice how I’ve pointed out the scores of the guys in the bowling league. ;)

So I finally downloaded pictures from the Nikon. Meaning I’ve got a ton of blog updating to do…

This summer I started sewing and crocheting. Andy’s cousin Veronica taught me the crocheting. I’ll throw a picture of the snazzy scarf up when it’s finished. Veronica will be proud. Here’s a shirt that I altered from an XXL down to fit me. I tapered it to have a custom fit and be a bit more of a tunic with a punk-esque neckline.

Twilight release party that FanBolt covered in Decatur. (Beth, Nic, Joe, Sara, Jenny, and myself) Don’t we look slick in our shirts? :) Credit to Jenny’s cam for this pic. Remember the girl that took this pic? Her friends and her kept asking to take pictures of us. They were super sweet.

My godson Joshua turned 1.

Saw a rainbow….

Went on a roadtrip with Andy to visit his grandparent’s.

Their farm flooded this summer. It was horrible the amount of destruction… Here’s where the levy broke.

My favorite coffee shop in Quincy.

I went antiquing with Andy’s grandmother, aunt, and cousin. I freaked out when I found glasses (Betty and Barney) that I had gotten from Pizza Hut in 1st grade.

Andy and at the Mark Twain cave…

Round 2 coming shortly!

As many of you know the fashion designer I work with, Ellie Mae, was recently featured in AJC. Just came across it online here.It was a huge full page spread in the August 31st issue featuring multiple photos shot at the Georgia Terrance Hotel.

Saturday was the unveiling of the fall collections from all the designers. Ellie had myself and Nic down on the list to get in. We walked around for awhile looking at the new collections, met up with Ellie, met Nicky Hilton, walked around some more, then hit up cocktail hour, and the lastly the fashion show. I have video of 4 of Ellie’s pieces walking, and then the end of Nicky’s clothes walking.

I know everyone always hates on the Hiltons, but Nicky Hilton was a total sweetheart. We’re the same height. She was wearing higher heels so that makes her look a bit taller in the pic, but anyway, I expected her to be much taller for some reason.

I’ll upload videos if you guys want to see the walks. It was my first experience with a fashion show with the catwalk. Super cool. They walked 203 looks between all the designers, Ellie said that even at a Marc Jacobs they only walk about 50, so this was quite possibly the longest fashion show in the history of the world. But it was a blast none the less. Nic and I had a lot of fun critiquing all the different styles and the models.

After the show, we went for drinks with Ellie and her friend Natalie, and hung out just chatting for a hour. It was a great day. I can’t wait till the fall show.

Have I mentioned how much I love working for Ellie? Because I so do. :)

(I cropped Nic’s finger out of this one, but that’s why the lighting looks all funny)
