Second Quarter

My second quarter has officially ended and I am happy to breathe a sigh of relief. Now that I have gotten back into the swing of being back in school, it has definitely gotten a lot better. The best part of every quarter is meeting new people and making new friends, and also the doubt in my head when I see the assignments at the beginning of the quarter and wonder how am I ever going to do all of this. That moment when I see the final product is priceless because I can't believe I did it, I made that. 

I am just more anxious about continuing forward. I'm so ready to begin my interior design coursework and I'm growing more impatient by the day, but I know these classes are necessary in order for me to be successful. 

This quarter I took Drawing II and Survey of Western Art. 

As I prepare my portfolio, images will be posted. Just bear with me! :)

Love,

First Quarter

I cannot believe I let this much time go by without posting about my first quarter at SCAD. I took Drawing I and Speaking of Ideas. I was anxious and nervous about starting because first of all, I couldn't draw, and second, I hate speaking in public. Great way to start the first quarter!

If you could see me now, you couldn't believe I was the same person that could barely hold a pencil. I cannot express how happy I am that I made the decision to attend SCAD and it is worth every penny! Well, sometimes I have my moments.

Later, I'll post some pictures so that you can see my progress and development over time. Gotta make sure they look professional, know what I mean...

Thanks for being a part of my journey!

Until next time...

Love,

Lola

p.s. If you check out my About page, there is a picture I took while down in Savannah back in March before I started classes. Definitely had to stop by SCAD!

Digital Day at ADAC

Hey loves,

Just a quick update about Digital Day that I was able to attend back in February. It was fun and full of helpful tips and advice from people in the industry.  Definitely learned a thing or two. 

Some of the tips I jotted down were: 

1. Great photography matters!
2. Have business cards that reflect you.
3. When beginning a blog, start at a comfortable pace (ie. once a week, twice a month, etc.) and then build from there.
4. Personalize your about me section, say HI!
5. Facebook allows you to be more local and target people in your city.

Unfortunately the last session was cancelled due to inclement weather. I was looking forward to hearing all the sessions.

Also, this was taking place during the design bloggers conference and was complementary to the public, so you know I was one of the first to sign up! I was not able to attend the design bloggers conference because quite frankly it just wasn't in my budget, but trust when 2016 rolls around, I will be there full swing!

Alright, let me hear about your experiences attending conferences geared toward your passions!  

Until next time...

Love,  

Lola

All White Everything

Good day my loves, 

Unfortunately, I have been sick over the past couple of weeks and definitely have been spending time regaining my energy and strength. And during that time, I have been swept off my feet by so many lovely rooms that incorporate whites and neutrals. I just feel like this color combo is so cozy and relaxing, and makes the room feel airy and spacey. I'm officially convinced that my next room will definitely include this color scheme. 

Just wait on it...

I've included some pics that have put me on cloud 9 and made me wish I could just climb into them and cuddle in the blankets with my tea (don't forget the honey and lemons)! 

Enjoy!

And let me not forget about this closet! Look at that view!

Hope you enjoyed these beautiful images as much as I did. Let me know what your favorite color schemes are!

Until next time...

I know...I know...I have been MIA for quite some time. One thing led to another and then before I knew....weeks had gone by without me posting anything. I determined to get back on track, get focused, and stop being lazy! Those are definitely my goals from now and so forth.

On another note, the main reason why I want to write this post is definitely to update you on what I have been getting prepared for. Last time I spoke of going back to school was in a previous post HERE. Well...I am definitely pleased to say that I have received my acceptance letter from the Savannah College of Art and Design, SCAD for short, and will be starting my new path beginning March 2015. Yes, just about two months away and I am ecstatic! 

One of the main reasons I started this blog was to definitely have you guys join me while I explore this new direction that life has taken me, and this acceptance has definitely got the ball rolling. I am happy that I have come such a long way and I am actually brave enough to share my experiences with you all. This will be an amazing journey and I hope that it inspires at least one person out there who gets the chance to read this.

Until next time...

Love,

Lola
