I AM HOLY AS LONG AS I THINK I AM

WHAT 2 EXPECT

Sale starts everywhere and I'm broke as a joke. This year I started studying fashion design and it often happened that I lived on bread because I spent all my money on materials. Even if I had money left to go shopping, I didn't have the time.
Good thing is that my skills in sewing and pattern drawing have developed and I have become more critical when it comes to buying a piece of clothing. In school we learnt about quality and the sometimes unfair industry of fashion. I learnt to think twice.
So this summer, even though I will restart gaining money, I won't spend so much on new clothes. I will try to make a bunch myself (expect DIY's, ideas, etc.!) and go thrift shopping (way more fun anyway). All I will buy new is a pair of shoes and perhaps jackets and coats and knitwear.
I got sick of having a lot of clothes anyway. It's much more a challenge to have a good small wardrobe than a big one.

TRACES

The industrial look of the turbine hall and the floor that seemed to be cracked once appealed to me the moment I walked into Tate Modern in London. The building used to be a power station. The crack is actually an artwork done by Doris Salcedo, and it will remain a part of the building.
