</div>I really want and need new shoes. Fall 2011 is so far away!! All I want right now besides these sexy shoes, is for spring time to stay already, and to frolic outside all day long. :) I have definitely missed blogging, but I will be making some major renovations, and changes later in the spring time.<br />

There's always something fascinating with one of kind jewelry pieces. Especially those of <a href="http://www.dandimaestre.com/">Dandi Maestre</a>. Check out my favorite picks! <br />

I'm really drawn to these pieces. There is a kind of allure that draws me in. They are all one of a kind and made from organic and reclaimed materials. In terms of animal-friendliness she only utilizes horns from bull horns, and shed antlers. Shed antlers are from deer and moose that grow a new pair of antlers every year (which I definitely did not know before.) And I am a big fan of animal-friendly/recycled fashions. :) She also refuses to utilize and work with horn and antlers of endangered animals. Anyways, I love them, especially the bull horn bracelets and tagua rings. <br />

<a href="">hello</a><br />
<br />
I am obsessed with these A.L.C. dresses. I want them so badly. They would be perfect for going out. If only, I wasn't on a college budget, these babies cost from $400 and up!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Update:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>+ Blogging fail!! I'm going to start being really busy this semester, and my calender is already overloaded with events, due dates and etc etc. My last senior semester of college.. And It's daunting. But I'm enjoying it every second. And really trying to spend time with my friends when I can. So I probably won't be blogging for a while again. I might post every so often. But currently my 3 priorities are: School, Career, and Relationships. And I'm also trying to balance everything else out. So I'll be posting every so often.<br />
<br />
But I'll try to keep tweeting as much as I can so follow me: http://www.twitter.com/ktang88 !<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I love you guys!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

And I was treated to this adorable cute restaurant called Makoto. A small but cozy restaurant where you must take off your shoes to slip into some slippers. And turning off your cell phones are a must! <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">We started off with a mussel soup which was absolutely delicious. The food at Makoto is prepared fresh every day. So the menu changes daily, you honestly don't know what you get until it gets to your table! We ordered the lunch box. It was so delicious having such a variety of fresh seafood to eat. We had soup, 3 side dishes, a chicken dish, the lunch box and the yummy shaved ice (and the flavors vary each day!). For our lunch box we had tuna sashimi, salmon, bass and a veggie dish. <br />
<br />
I loved the experience of such a small and cozy restuarant. It was definetely fun to experience as it is an authentic Japanese restaurant, the chef as well as the waitresses are all Japanese. I hope you guys can give it a try! Let me know if you ever want to go to Makoto, I'll be game! :)</div><br />

With a new year comes new ideas and blog posts! I am going to start featuring designers both well known and unknown who inspire me as a designer, and as a future business owner. My dream has always been to become a fashion empire. And this is a showcase of the designers that show us dreams are possible (as cheesy as that is)! Not only do they inspire me I hope they can inspire you too!<br />
<br />
Today's Inspire Me designer is Thakoon Panichgul.<br />
<ul><li> He is Thai but grew up in Omaha! He didn't even speak any English when he came to the states!</li>
<li>Majored in Business, and graduated from Boston University. </li>
<li>Ended up changing his major completely from Business to Fashion. Amazing, how though you start off with a completely different career path, and then completely changing it. So no matter what your doing, you can <b>always change your path</b>! </li>
<li>Supported by Anna Wintour. Another amazing feat for when he was an up and coming designer. His biggest lesson learned from her was to <b>take it slow</b> and not to get carried away with things </li>
<li>Fashion is not only about the clothing but about the business. <b>"At the end of the day, you’re selling clothes. So you have to nurture the business as well as the creative side of it"</b>. </li>
</ul><div style="text-align: center;">What do you think about the Inspire Me series? </div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't you love Thakoon? :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Happy Belated New Year!! I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Eve Celebration. I celebrated at Park in DC, it was my first time going to Park and it was a really fun experience.<br />
And yes, its yet another black and white quote picture! haha, but I feel that it fits with the new year, and goes along with my new years resolutions, here are the main resolutions, I really want to complete:<br />
<br />
1. Volunteer my time working with dogs, or children, or both. :)<br />
2. Do something daring and new once a month.<br />
3. Choose to be kind to everyone and choose to be happy. Make choices that help myself and others.<br />
4. Travelling either out of state or out of the country. I'm itching to go somewhere new.<br />
5. Graduate from College, and be done with school forever.<br />
6. Revising my list of <a href="http://sourtang.blogspot.com/2010/06/100-things-i-want-to-do-before-im-25.html">100 things to do before I'm 25</a>.<br />
<br />
I have a lot of other things in store for the blog, and for my fashion design stuffs. But I will have to reveal them later!! :)<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Bravo to BCBG, I am in LOVE! :) I feel like there is a somber elegance to this collection that is really refreshing and new. I'm really loving it because this collection signifies a change in fashion, okay maybe it's a bit of an exaggeration. But it is definitely something different from what has been on the runway, while also still being wearable. I love the simplistic modern pieces like the jacket in the third look can be paired with more of their bolder dresses this season! And I just love it, and I haven't been able to say that in a while. :) </div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">UPDATES: </div>+ 3 more days until Christmas. I'm kinda excited.. now.. even though Christmas shopping was not fun for me. lol. Well technically 2 days because my family celebrates on Christmas Eve! :)<br />
<br />
+ I have been cleaning my studio, and working on starting my project that I'd love to get started now! But it takes time. And I'm working on being realistic with my own time. haha. It is definetely tough.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>HAPPY HOLIDAYS! What are you guys up to??</b></div><b> </b><br />

Like the overachiever I am, I'm trying to get back into the things I love, aka crafting, and making jewelry and accessories. And anyways, it was my love for making jewelry and accessories that I started Sour Tang! :)<br />
<br />
And these are some of my favorite jewelry ideas from Martha. And yes, I love Martha Stewart.. I mean she's so inspiring considering the empire she has built. And I want to eventually build my own empire!! :) And these are all relatively easy DIY projects. I probably won't create any of these until later. But I am working on some sewing projects right now. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">OTHER THANGS: </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">+ I helped my best friend and talented makeup artist, <a href="http://banappleart.blogspot.com/">Lily</a> with her photo shoot for this vampire inspired contest, basically she had to create two different looks one for the day time and one for the night time. Please take a look and vote for her, she is #416! <a href="http://draculalespectacle.com/concours/index/voting/page/57">VOTE HERE! </a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">+ I'm pretty much done with Christmas shopping, and I just need to wrap everything! :) I'm always such a last minute Christmas shopper,, but I am hopefully changing that next year, since I will :knockonwood: have a full time design job! :) </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">+ I'm in the planning stages for a lot of my projects right now, and I will hopefully turn them into reality in a couple of months! :) I'll keep you guys updated for sure! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Holidays to everyone!! :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Pringle of Scotland<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">I am loving pre-fall 2011, designers have really out done themselves in comparison to the spring 2011 collections. I really love that they are all wearable, but are still different in the silhouettes, or incorporation of prints! My favorite collection so far has to be from Pringle of Scotland. The designs are just so sophisticated, chic while still being really warm and cozy! I love that. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">What's your favorite pre-fall collection??</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">UPDATES:</div><div style="text-align: left;">+ It's winter break!! YAY!! Now I actually have time for Christmas shopping, Cleaning, Sewing, and Relaxation. And oh yeah blogging of course!! :) I'll be catching up on my favorite blogs!!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">+ <b>I'm also currently searching for jobs after college. If anyone has any job opportunities they know of, or have any advice for a soon-to-be fashion design college graduate, it would be greatly appreciated!! :)</b> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">+ Other than that, I hope everyone is enjoying their winter break, and their holidays!! I'm really excited for Christmas, and New Year's!! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

And if you didn't already know, Prince William will be marrying Kate Middleton!!<br />
<a name='more'></a>I think she would be a really great princess, with how elegant, and charming she seems. These are just a few of my favorite designs. In my opinion, I feel like Kate Middleton will go something very elegant and simple. I feel as if she would really like the Gucci dress. I guess we shall see when they get married!! lol.<br />
I was going to pick one of my personal favorites, but I really like all of the designs I have in this post lol. And besides fashion sketches are one of my favorite things to feature and this was a good way to come back into blogging!!<br />

Belated post for the spring 2011 dresses that I die for. :) Love Love how romantic and feminine they are! Sometimes I wish designing evening gowns would be my thing, but it never really was. I truly admire the work of these designers though. :) <br />
<br />
Updates on life:<br />
+ Got my article: Studying Fashion in the Nation's Capital published on Daily Fashion Jobs, about fashion design at my university: <b>http://tinyurl.com/2feo3xp</b>.<br />
+ Finally finished my product development project! Amen! haha, now I'm waiting to hear back on weds to see who wins!<br />
+ 2 more weeks until my last fall semester in college. Pretty scary... But exhilarating. I can't wait! :) So my job search begins! Know of any fashion design jobs around the DC area, or Philly or NY lemme know! :)<br />
<br />
Just a quick update, life is going and a lot of projects are coming full circle! And I'm just truly happy. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Photos from start to finish of my fabric manipulation project. 1. from the pattern and the cutting of the fabric. 2. The sewing of the actual garment, and matching it up and everything. 3. 4. The straps on the back, I had to individually iron, pin, trim, and flip inside out. <br />
<br />
So taking pictures of the process of creating a dress, is actually a lot more challenging than I thought, since I was so consumed by sewing, I almost forgot to take pictures. But I remembered! :) I really loved the way it turned out. I have been working with knits and patterns all semester, with my menswear jacket as well and also for my last project as well.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone had an amazing thanksgiving break! I got a lot of rest, and I'm ready to tackle the last couple of weeks of the fall semester! Get excited!!! :)<br />

They just had their product launch this past Thursday. I believe that this project is very exciting and has a lot of potential! Especially since it is so close to home, launched and organized by a group of Marymount students with the assistance of the dean of the school of business.<br /><br />"Maasai Made is a project initiative that is taking place at Marymount University. The objective of this project is to make hand-made crafts available to the public for purchase. The jewelry is made by a very talented tribe in Kenya, the Lturoto."<br /><br />100% of the sales go back to the Lturoto tribe. One of the students at Marymount is actually from this tribe. The Lturoto tribe is nomadic in nature, and by purchasing products from the Maasai Made project, you can support there lifestyle and give them opportunities to purchase water and other necessities.<br /><br />They primarily have jewelry, ornaments as well as key chains for sale right now. My favorite jewelry piece was definitely the bangles, which I bought and love wearing!! They're pretty fashion forward and very easy to match with your every day look! Also, every jewelry piece or accessory is one-of-a-kind so you know you are getting a unique jewelry that is both charming and for a good cause!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">They are currently working on their website, and when that launches I'll update ya'll! :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><3 Kelly</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Ps.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">A couple of pictures from my 21st birthday! I am a cupcake fiend.. if you couldn't tell.. haha. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm definetely getting back to myself again. I'm starting some goals of mine to start working on my project and my business. I shouldn't just focus on school... because school isn't life. I need to find something outside of school. And I feel like I will. I've been optimistic, and I think this optimism will stick around for a while. I'm making changes in my life. And I'm happy about them. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I had the pleasure of seeing Diane Von Furstenberg speak at Georgetown University on Monday.<br />
<br />
She told her life story, and how she made it as she has today. And it was just amazing, because a long with her speech she would put photos up on slides, to really emphasize her point and to tell a wonderful story. She has had such a lucrative career in fashion while also changing it up from books to cosmetics, which I previously knew nothing about. Not only did she tell her story, but she truly did inspire me. And on that note here are some things that really stuck with me:<br />
<br />
"important to have <b>clarity</b>... to love what you do. It's <b>important to make sense</b>, and if you don't believe in it, it won't work"<br />
<br />
<b>" Clarity + Strategy = Success"</b><br />
<br />
"Generosity is the best investment.. it protects your karma" - on working with Vital Voices.<br />
<br />
" The most important relationship is with yourself".<br />
<br />
She really did inspire me, and makes me want to be a designer of that scale. And I refuse to let anyone stop me!! :)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">UPDATES: </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><ul><li>My 21st birthday was last weekend, still not sure if I want to put pictures up from them, but they're on my facebook account, not my sourtang page. :) But maybe pictures to come just to show what I wore. </li>
<li>This week has just been super uber inspirational with spoken poetry from <a href="http://www.theasiaproject.com/">the Asia Project</a> , really got me thinking about my life and all the things going on in it. And then my first happy hour, with one of my best friends Maria.. she reminds me of all the things I want to do. And how I don't need someone to hold me back. But its hard when you just like someone or that uncertainty of my own feelings. </li>
</ul><div style="text-align: center;">Truly, missing commenting on everyone's lovely blogs, and thank you everyone for the amazing comments, and support! And also pictures from fashion events to come. I've also been more inspired to work on my personal projects, and not devoting my entire present to school work. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Tie Dyee!! :D I was in a really happy mood the other day, and this is what I wore. Something flowy, comfy and cute. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Sometimes when I wear this shirt, I feel like I look wierd.. butttt.. comfort over the wierdness feeling. :)
<br />
<br />Updates on my life:
<br /><ul><li>Still the same, pretty busy. But I'm excited, I'm volunteering for a fashion show tonight at the Ritz Carlton! </li><li>Not much going on right now, except that I'm glad its Saturday and finally, sorta, have time to blog. Right now, I'm working on flats for tenniswear for my product development project. Once the project is completed, I'll make a full post about it. It's really a challenge. But I love a challenge. :) </li><li>And I'm still loving my internship at this time. And it's a bit scary how fast the spring semester is approaching. This winter break, I'm planning to sew a lot, and hopefully a photoshoot, and travelling to NY. And job searching, and resume fixing. :) Its like my life isn't about to stop anytime soon, and I love it, but it can be quite exhausting. </li></ul><div><3 </div><div>

I love to support local designers and I've recently learned about some really great fashion shows!! <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I won't be able to make any of these events since I will be volunteering for another fashion show on Oct 23, and Oct 30 is my birthday.<br />
<br />
I hope you guys get a chance to check these fashion shows out!! If you do, let me know how they went!! :)<br />

<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have been in a particularly thoughtful mood for some time now. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm always thinking lately. And being way too intense for my own good. </div><div style="text-align: center;">But it's the way I am sometimes. :) Just some quotes ... to inspire myself and remind me things. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It's time to let go, move on, and follow my heart! Shit happens, but after it all you realize your stronger than before.<br />
<br />
I know this isn't my typical blog post. But sometimes fashion majors can get philosophical! :D<br />

So I'm feeling pretty magically today. Lmfao.. Yes, I said pretty magically! And these pictures suit my mood right now for something beautiful, and for something mysterious and journey-like. These paintings are painted by Japanese artist, <a href="http://www.takagimasakatsu.com/">Takagi Masakatsu</a>. I had come across him and his a work a while ago when I was researching my three piece menswear outfit. Although, this did not really inspire my work, it really inspires me, and makes me happy. :)<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Matthew Williamson<br />
<br />
Two of my favorite designers. And I would wear the things Twinkle designs and creates. And I always have admired Matthew Williamson and his bold use of prints. And he really took it to the next level, with his draped dresses, and his corset tops. The dresses, I'm still iffy about, but they are different in comparison to everything else on the runways lately. Right now, my goal is to find something that actually really stands out in the spring rtws for 2011. But I totally understand the state of the economy as why they aren't taking as many risks as before.<br />
<br />
UPDATES:<br />
<ul><li>National Danish Performance started their world tour at our school!! :) It was a blast. Sadly, I don't have any photos from them. But you guys can check out there <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/NDPT.USATour">fb page</a>. And they have a performance tomorrow night at the Kennedy Center for FREE at 6pm, if your in the DC area.</li>
<li>Still busy. LOL... that doesn't seem to have changed. But my mindset has changed, and I believe I'll get things done, and I have the time to accomplish them. So.. just thinking that has made me feel a lot better. But I need some meditation and yoga though. </li>
<li>Long weekend because of fall break!! Hopefully, leaving me time to catch up on my homework and projects, and have a bit of fun! ;) So excited for this break! </li>
</ul><b>How are you guys? Anything fun for the weekend? </b><br />
<br />
<b><3 ya guys! </b> <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Because L.A.M.B deserves its own blog post!! </div><br />
I wasn't exactly in love. But I really liked a lot of the pieces. I was REALLY surprised when they used African prints. And I like some of the ways they transformed them into something modern. I'm pretty sure the reason why I like this collection is because Gwen Stefani is just ah-mazing, and I could see her wearing pretty much everything in this collection!!<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Other News:</b></div><br />
<ul><li>Life is busy. Nothing new. Creating tennis wear for my product development class. Menswear in my advanced design class. Learning about Mauritius for my fashion in global marketplace course. Doing an amazing internship for Herbal Animals. Yep, that's whats up! :) Oh, and I forgot to mention the fun events I'm planning and organizing for International Club and Fashion Club!! </li>
<li>Man, I'm meant to be a busy person, I really love it even though its extremely stressful. But I really miss blogging. It's really like a way to share my life with you guys. I will try to post once a week now, since my schedule has been quite the hectic one. :) I love blogging, and miss checking out my fellow bloggers out. </li>
