The blog is back-again
Okay so now it's been over a year since I posted on here. I actually forgot about it completely. I only found this blog because I was trying to work on my search engine optimization and it popped up on google. I read through all of my old posts and really wish I had kept up with it more.
Let's see, what's new since February 2010...
A lot. I moved from San Diego to Vegas and I now actually have my own office for Makeshift Apparel as of 5/16/11. I have been going to work at Forever 21 as a visual merchandiser in the morning and then to my office after until about midnight every day.
Today is the first night I didn't go in, it's exhausting! But I do love it and wish that I had time to go in today still ha ha.
I also planned and organized my first fashion show In March 2011, had a photo shoot with one of my favorite models Raquel Reed,did the THREAD trade show, and was mentioned in a few tattoo magazine articles.
I've been much more productive with my clothing line since moving to Vegas. I have A LOT of plans for the near future as well. I'm very excited about it and I'm really happy to have my office!

The blog is back!
So it's been almost a year since I posted a blog.
Oops!
Latest excitement with Makeshift Apparel is the Java Magazine photo shoot.
I drove all the way from CA to AZ to shoot with Mykespace photographer and Yardley December
jewelry for a big spread in JAVA magazine. Unfortunately, I woke up with a terrible
migraine the day of the shoot and wasn't able to be there. Luckily the hair stylist was
able to come pick up the clothes and they still used them for the shoot, so I can't wait to
see how it turns out! Here's a behind the scenes shot of one of my dresses:
Also, check out lookbook!
