&the world spins madly on.

I needed a personal blog post:

You all have been overly gracious and incredibly welcome. I got a lot of messages regarding selling in boutiques on consignment. Also about different trunk sales, contests and just helpful hints. To me, that is what this evolving fashion world is about, spreading ideas that you enjoy so that you get a taste of everything. Red Closet to me, is my everything and I've never understood myself fully until I put this out there and realized what true passion is. I have never felt so driven before.

On a personal note; I am so tired of people saying things they don't mean. Yes, this has to do fully with my heart. Its like I got bulldozed over right where it hurts. Started to heal by something in the past, then just got bulldozed again. One because of insecurities and one because of distance, and letting themselves be unhappy because it's what they're used to. I realized something, I rekindle my past too much. Because I like stories, memories. Being in a room full of people and them not knowing exchanged words one night, spinning in streets, trips out of state, secrets that are kept in between the two waves. The mature decision I came to after my immature tantrums, oreos binges, and full putting myself into RCC; I came to realization that ALL of these past heartaches I am tied too, there once was a beginning. Two very good beginnings. All the in betweenness were so intense, but that's who I am; not them. I live for a great beginning connection, and for the whole thing to be moveilike but real. So I'll sit home and watch Garden State and sit behind my computer and start designing the new line for RCC Fall 2011. Very exciting stuff people, and the motives will be to get out my feelings of this people saying things they don't mean, and how I am so free to believe people. But honestly, it's times liek this I realize how non-genuine they were.

 "Scared of the world out there, let's go explore. Put on your shades and we'll wander the great indoors."


1) Coachella 2011 April 15-20th.
2)Drive NY to California and back May-July  for new RCC line!


The Fall 2011 line is either:
"Free Bird"
"Untied"
"Her Traveling Heart"
"Undiscovered discoveries"
It's all about the big world, how I want to explore it, the different people you can come across and how lovely they can all be. How your heart is tied to things like work; school; family; girlfriends; boyfriends; houses; comfort. But really you can just get up and go, you are a free bird. It's also about that endless sky feeling you get, when they just go on... especially coming from a city girl; it's something I choke up about every time. So I'm doing that, finishing school, leaving everything and just driving any direction I want with a 2 month free time period and I've never been so excited. I want a baby blue car, barely anything to bring with me, just a map. A map of undiscovered land!


Again thankyou for your breathtaking support, Red Closet Couture Best friends

Swan Lake

Finally a movie that makes you really wonder. Half of me hated it. The other half can't wait to own it and watch it one repeat. Not as much dancing as I had hoped, but the story line skyrocketed. Who saw swan lake, and gets this. I love minds. Natalie Portman will win big out of this, and even if not her performance is recognized and she got a baby and baby daddy out of it. I liked how less then half way through, the whole theatre got that, she's touching herself how do I react, who is uncomfortable feeling. I love that theatres can do that to you. The movie touched upon so much, people going stress crazy, anxieties, eating disorders, sexual abuse, the stress of being a dancer. It brought me back to 2 years ago. I miss dance, it's the only thing that quieted my mind. We all need to find quiet mind things, it's like a on-off buttom for our brain. Of course I came home, grabbed out my pointe shoes, and cried a little. But that's missing something right. I also came home and started diagnosing myself with everything but that's just another story.


I I loved the head pieces in this movie for the swans, and the make up was so intense. The eye changing for the black swan scared me. This movie was genius. 




Note: did you know that Laura and Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte designed the costumes for the dancers? Not to be missed.

White blank page

January 1st 2011. Well, it's January 2nd, 4am. This personal blog will be coming down in 12 days. So I figured let it go with a great post. Red Closet will have its own blog, ran by me and Red Closet Best Friends. I'm excited to have different posts, inputs, brain bubbles, idea sparks, feelings, music, fashion, different. Everybody is so different. It's nice to not hear rambles about the same things all the time.
12, Well 11 days until the site is up if all goes according to plan. I've been pushing it back and back because I need it to be perfect. The photoshoots especially. I have wrapped my life around this, poured a broken heart, a filled mind, endless hours, countless laughs. Is All This Real. Am I Real?

This year thing. Is all In Theory. Is this really a new year? Who decided this. Who is in charge. I bow down to the Aztecs. Except for the 2012 thing. Next year I will be in Vegas with 7 girls that I won't mind the world ending or not with. So to me that, is all once again, In Theory. But it is nice to have a blank pages (pages) something to help you sleep at night. But truthfully, I'm an optimist and I believe everyday is a new beginning. Want to hear how truly optimistic I am. "Every passing moment is a chance to turn it all around". Live by that, Tom Cruise taught me all I need to know ladies and Gents.

As for fashion: because that's all I can think now. I just feel something through pictures, good finds, fun finds. Me and my friend Rebecca have drove miles for something special. A sale, an exhibit, vintage sales and stores. It is part of you, it seems to be the thing that makes my mind fully clear lately. Red Closet Couture revolves around this all. It revolves around the lifestyle of expressing fashion. I just decided to try to do it with words, because everybody can do it without. I don't know what you're feeling, but I tried to limit the thoughts to an abstract way.... A way where you can take it however you'd like.

Like when you hear a song. A really really great song. The kind that moves through you. Everyones moving moment, shoulder shake. Tearful eyes all branches from these different chemical feelings. You all have different interpretations about lyrics, melodies. My shirts are my songs. The pictures are my album. And fashion is a full grown lifestyle. This little dress up girl is ready to take flight, and I couldn't have done it at a better more appetizing time.


Wear what you're feeling. Wear your mind. Wear your feelings. Feel things, really feel them.


My admirations:

Photobucket
In Vintage, All the time. Chasing vintage. Breathing it. These two girls are so alike but really so different. They just understand where it all comes from. Inside.

Photobucket
Chanel. Oh god. Chanel. I did a project on her this semester, I started crying because any human who can start without being changed and last so long without being changed. She did it her way, even if it seemed reckless and messy. It's a quality, I want to strive to have and never let go, being fearless in fashion is hard... but beautiful.

Photobucket
Don't be afraid to let yourself go a little crazy.



Happy New Year.
Happy Shopping.
Happy RCC.


Happy, Me xxoxoxo

The shade of poison trees

Whirlpool.
It's where the water goes around and around. It's that feelings of effortlessly flowing, it just sweeps you up. It takes you away. I believe that is the right way. But what happens the other way. What happens when you push with all your might. How does it feel to ache, to dream, reach and startle yourself. 


Lord knows i'm not you,
Friends come and go. Love stays forever. Now why are you leaving me love?




www.redclosetcouture.com
I've come so far.




Sometimes I think i'm in over my head. You start with this idea, and it seems dreaming. But now that i'm in it. I can't stop, I don't want to. But don't you just wonder. It started with an account, an EIN, now I have over 8000 pictures, I have spent days, laughs and moments in this. The website went up, just with a "coming soon" but my friends insisted on drunks and wings. They have my back. I live for this. I am a warrior and this is taking over the world. Watch me.




6am sun is coming up, something tells me i'm all out of love
