Urban Native.

WOW it's been awhile since i've posted. These last few weeks have been a blur. Anyway i have a new design up! It's one of my first patterns i've created. Very geometric. i hope you like it. Haven't gotten the vlogging up to speed yet, as i've been a little too crazy busy to handle it. I'll share with you my design though! Here it is! Remember to check out my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/kateridesigns and like it! Thanks!

Beauty in society

Hello everyone,
Today i was interviewed by someone from KOSU radio, about fashion.
The segment was about beauty, and how society has skewed ladies "ideal" body type to be those of the supermodels, size 00, and underweight. I talked about some of my experience with that, and it was a great learning and growing experience. I was just messing around with Photoshop today, and i created a  "Real" vs. "Photoshop" picture. Here it is. Ladies, (and gentlemen) please know that this kind of body :
is not what you want. It's ugly, and not healthy.
here is my photoshopped picture. 
Thank you!

The beginning of something magical. +Primadonna Girl

Hello Followers (though you are probably non-existant)
today is a great day!
I just got my tribal money so i'm off to Best Buy or Walmart (somewhere that will have my camera) and getting my Canon Powershot! so excited! once i get that i'll be posting daily vlogs! hopefully i'll come up with interesting subjects to do them on. In the beginning they will most likely just be about me and what i do, but then they will be a collection of different things! alright! well i'll post later on today about my experience! :) Cannot wait! oh by the way, this is my favorite song right now!
Marina and the Diamonds is like the love child of Florence + The Machine  and Ellie Goulding had:) at least that is my opinion!

The Real Hunger Games

Hello friends!
So today i made a "Draw my life video. I am pretty sure it is way too long to put it on Youtube, so tomorrow i'll be putting it on this blog and my website! oh by the way! I HAVE A WEBSITE. It's not officially official, but it is under construction, but it has been published so if you go to the URL it is visible.
          Just a picture to enjoy.
Now for my real blog:
As a starving student, my budget this week is a whole of 30 dollars. I'm going to have to make that stretch. I'm looking for another job, but right now it's sort of ghetto right now in my household. I am also waiting on my tribal money. OH if only i had all the money in the world. I would be carefree!

         But i would also probably be very bored. Unforetold adventures of the impoverished collegates are most interesting tales to tell. Hunger game entry 1: This morning Ashley and i woke up to find that there was little to no breakfast food in my house... so we improvised, and ended up scrapping together a cakemix, applesauce, and 4 eggs to make a coffee cake... (and by coffee cake i mean that we had the cake with some coffee)... oh the adventures. If anything we have learned that we can in fact survive in times during which there is no money...! tomorrow shall be another adventure! hopefully i'll be able to go to Walmart soon to shop!

Food for thought.

after skyping with clients about guard uniforms that i will be custom designing, I invited my best friend ashley over and we cooked a lovely (but cheap, we are both poor college students) dinner. Spaghetti, and garlic bread. We also had some Lincoln Farms Pink Moscato (wine) it was lovely. I RECOMMEND IT! for only $9 it's a great bottle of wine to have. the whole meal took only about 30 minutes.

Lincoln Farms wine >>>>>>> very bubbly!
  a perfect amount for just the two of us! :) 

Has it really been that long?

hello lovelies! it's been way too long. so i've had a lot of things going on lately. I've been hired by about 4 schools to custom design their colorguard uniforms! i am so happy about it! i am currently living in my college town, working at the Buckle as a seamstress. I've recently created a website with Wix.com and am developing, researching, and creating new opportunities for myself, as well as projects that will enhance my future. There have been quite a few obstacles to my conquest this semester, but i am stronger because of them! here's a collection of pictures to illustrate the success i have found in the last couple of months! my summer resolution is to post on this blog at least 2x a week! as well as get more and more followers!
Dresses that i created.
