Bite The Bullet

After much persuading from friends, family, and my loyal readers, I decided to take the plunge and open my own Etsy account. I originally started this blog to inspire individual creativity, but let's face it: there is barely enough time in the day to accessorize properly, let alone make your own accessories! At my shop you'll find some of the items featured on this blog, as well as my own designs. I'm also willing to create customized pieces...just email me and we'll collaborate! Below are just some of the items for sale. Expect many more to come soon...

Absence makes the heart grow fonder...hopefully.

As cliche as it may be to apologize for a blogging absence, I'm terribly sorry. Midterms, job #1, and job#2 have prohibited me from having any type of social life, let alone time for arts and crafts! I wish I could tell you I have lots of new project ideas post-NY Fashion Week, but unfortunately I don't. I haven't had time to go through the shows in detail because it has been consumed with some other projects. Luckily, you guys can see one of them now!

Read my interview with Michelle and Carly from Cushnie et Ochs on StyleCaster.com!

I hung out at the girls' studio on the eve before their show during New York Fashion Week. They were super sweet and it was such a fun time! Seriously, watch out for this duo in the coming years.

P.S. Freedom is on the horizon after I'm finished with my papers. Expect projects to resume in a few weeks time!

Many thanks to the fabulous Gabriela at NYLON Mexico for featuring Carbon Couture on the site. If you were forced to choose between make up or perfume for the rest of your life, which would you pick? For all you Spanish readers out there, head on over to find out what I said. For those of you who don't, I guess you'll never know...


I will, however, leave you with my favorite phrase automatically translated by Google. When asked what was one item I cannot live without I said:

English: Does my Blackberry count? I’m a BrickBreaker master! I’m also addicted to Starbucks skinny caramel lattes. I cease to function if I don’t have at least one per day.

Spanish: ¿Mi Blackberry cuenta como articulo? ¡Soy una master del BrickBreaker! (risas) También soy adicta al Caramel Latte de Starbucks. Si no consumo al menos uno al día ¡dejo de funcionar! (risas)

Translated English: My Blackberry account article? I am a master BrickBreaker! I am also addicted to Starbucks Skinny Caramel Latte. If you do not get at least a day! Stopped working! (laughs)
