I have recently been introduced to Katie Rodgers fashion Illustrations from browsing blogs. I love looking at all her gorgeous watercolor drawings. They are all so fun and girly. It makes me want to learn how to watercolor. Go check out her blog Paper Fashion! She also has a few watercolor tutorials which are great!

I have been inspired by the “Things I am afraid to tell you” posts I’ve seen around. No one’s life is perfect. Reading blogs where everything is portrayed as being perfect gets old. So here it goes..
I’m feeling pretty stuck. School is out for the summer and I am beyond grateful for the break but I need a way to get my creative juices flowing again. I miss taking design classes. I didn’t make it into the BFA program which at first devastated me but I have now accepted as reality. I couldn’t really expect a year of hard work to make up for slacking off my first years of college. I will now be pursuing the BS degree but with an Art and Visual Communications major. I feel kind of silly getting a science degree with an art major but what can you do. The worst part of it all is that I can no longer sign up for design classes. I have gone as far as I can go without being in that program so I now have to take other random classes to graduate.
I now need to find my niche. I feel like art school has caused me to doubt myself so much that I cannot even begin a new project. I don’t feel creative. I look at everyone else’s work and they all seem to have it so together. They know exactly what they are doing. My biggest problem is I want to be good at everything (painting, drawing, design, crafting) so I don’t focus enough on one thing to get good at it. I am too much of a spaz. I love all the arts so much I cannot pick a craft. I have so many ideas in my head of things I want to create but cannot get myself to begin. Am I the only one with this problem?
I came to the conclusion that I need to start blogging more. That is my first step to overcoming self doubt. Often I don’t post because I don’t feel like I have anything interesting enough to talk about. I compare myself to the other blogs I read and think I don’t have all these amazing trips to talk about or amazing parties where I made everything by hand from pinterest. I hate that I do that, so I am no longer going to. I am going to blog more even if it’s just for me and I’m the only one that sees it. I’m not longer going to hesitate to write about what I really want to say because I am scared. So here’s to being real! -Kat

My idea of a fabulous night in? Watching the fellowship of the ring and painting my nails. I can’t help but be obsessed with my new peach and gold nails. Colors shown are a crewed interest by Essie and lux by Orly. If you haven’t been there before The Beauty Department has tons of fun nail tutorials, which is where I got the idea to do this. Check it out!

…at least I think thats a better name for it. but really Happy Valentines day everyone! I know the general public has very mixed feelings about this holiday. It makes the singles gag at all the mushy couples and it makes all the couples feel obligated to be adorable. I may be biased because this year I am in one of those adorable couples (I think so anyway {gag I know}), but I feel this holiday gets too much of a bad rap. I remember valentines as being one of my favorite holidays in elementary school because we got lots of candy and we got to make valentines for our whole class (which I loved cuz i’m uber craft obsessed). If you are feeling bitter about this day, I suggest giving some treats to your friends you love, or maybe your parents. It may be a romantic holiday, but it’s also a good day just to celebrate the people you love.
I have definitely had major ups and downs with love. It felt like more downs than ups sometimes. There was a time I thought I knew what I wanted only to realize I was settling. I thought it was normal to only be kinda happy. I can tell you now I have been dating my boyfriend for seven months now and it has been nothing but ups since. I had no idea I could be this happy and have someone treat me so well. He brought me out of a deep slump and saved me. My point is, people reading this, it is possible to find your soul mate even if it takes a lot of trial and error. You may have to give someone a chance you never thought of before. I’m sooo glad I did.

This is where I was last weekend! lucky me! Perfect 60 degree weather and stunning views. It was real hard to come back to Utah. In my opinion San Francisco is the most beautiful US city. My boyfriend’s family lives 45 minutes away from here so we got to spend a day there with his family. See that blue house? I sure wish they would build them like that nowadays. Swoon. AND THE CRABCAKES! AHHH I can’t stop thinking about them.
It was well worth the 12 hour drive.
