To make a long story short, this week has consisted of the following:
- Work at Dodge College
- Lookbook meetings with photographer and make-up artists (My photographer, Adam Ottke, is a ridiculously talented young man who spent the summer living the dream with his model girlfriend in a posh little apartment in Hollywood with an insane view. We met at a nearby Starbucks in the golden light of a perfect early morning, he bought me coffeecake and I was insanely jealous of his beautiful life. )
- Garment district hunting (Shan't tell you what I got in the garment district - trade secrets! )
- Boutique and mall scouting (This is a ridiculously fun occupation. Basically, you drive around and check out stores to see if there's a place where you would pitch your clothing line. The conclusion of Wednesday's adventure: Opening Ceremony in LA is the Holy Grail of boutiques and Santa Monica Place is a really fantastic new mall (besides, can you possibly beat the location?)
- Studying FIDM textbooks
- Dessert at the Melting Pot (consistently awesome - something about gooey chocolate...)
- Visiting my fabulous aunt in Oxnard
- Dinner with one of the guys I met on my European adventure in Ventura. (We ate at this amazing Mexican place in the Marina with a great live band and better people watching. Good night, plenty of leftovers, and I now have a vineyard to escape to once the stress finally starts to get to me)
- Day trip to San Diego to get new contact lenses
- Really cheesy Hogfather movie night
- Helped too best friends (including LCS Designs VP, Alex Angst) move back into their SoCal apartments - school starts on Monday!
In Summary:
Momentum for LCS Designs is really starting to build and at times it feels completely overwhelming, but always beyond awesome if that makes any sense. Meanwhile, the rest of life proceeds at its usual breakneck pace.
Pics from a bonfire in San Clemente last weekend. The sunset alone made the 30 min drive totally and completely worth it.
