IVC Financial Aid General Information and Policies
Irvine Valley College reserves the right to review, adjust or cancel financial aid awards at any time due to changes in federal, state, or IVC availability of funds.
You are responsible for paying registration fees if you do not receive financial aid to cover your institutional charges in full. Failure to pay your remaining balance on time may result in being dropped from courses and/or inability to register for future terms.
You are responsible for being admitted to a degree or certificate program that is eligible for financial aid funds. Certificate programs less-than 18 units and adult basic education programs are ineligible to receive financial aid.
Your financial aid offer will be void and/or cancelled if it is based on any error in determining eligibility for aid whether you or the Financial Aid Office made the error.
Your award may be adjusted or cancelled due to changes in financial aid need, new aid received after you have been initially awarded, unit enrollment at census, state residency, dependency, marital or academic status, or failure to comply with state, federal and institutional regulations.
Your eligibility for financial aid programs is contingent upon your meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policies.
The amount of financial aid you are eligible to receive is based on your unit enrollment.
If your financial aid is greater than your total fees, the Business Office will disburse the excess funds to you via direct deposit or paper check which will be sent to your current mailing address in MySite. Please verify your correct mailing address with the Admissions and Records Office located on the first floor of the Student Services Building.
If you stop attending a class, you are responsible for withdrawing with the Admissions and Records Office. Withdrawal from one or more course may result in cancellation or repayment of all or part of your aid.
If you withdraw from IVC, any fee refund due may be returned to the appropriate financial aid program.
If you will not attend IVC, you must drop all classes through MySite by the last day to drop full-term classes and qualify for a refund (See Class Schedule), or you will be liable for your fees. After the first day of the semester, you must go through the withdrawal process with the Admissions and Records Office. A student who withdraws during the semester and has received financial aid may be required to repay the funds received.
Receipt of federal, state or institutional aid authorizes Irvine Valley College (IVC) to apply your financial aid disbursement(s) to pay for your institutional fees and other educationally-related charges. *This authorization will remain effective throughout your entire period of enrollment at IVC. You may rescind this authorization at any time by contacting the Business Office. *Federal regulations allow the College to apply a student's financial aid automatically to his/her account for allowable institutional charges, such as, tuition and fees.
Regulations governing financial aid are subject to change at any time without notice.

You see this super cute pin? Well it's taking Pinterest by storm. I am serious. Maybe it's because it is really so stinking cute. BUT, maybe its because of my new best friend and online Pinterest scheduler called Tailwind.
Ok, so before I tell you all about how much I love, love, love Tailwind, let's be Pinterest friends.
Now, here's my ode to tailwind. What is Tailwind? According their website, it is "The complete Pinterest & Instagram marketing toolkit for bloggers and small businesses". Aka it is a GIANT timesaver.
It coordinates your pinning schedules, helps organize your Pinterest technique and helps to promote your business, which is amazing when you are a one-woman business like me and need multiple assistants. I consider it my most valuable employee with Planoly. So, basically I am telling you that I have two co-workers and their names are Tailwind and Planoly.
To use Tailwind, just sign up for an account, link your pinterest (make sure to organize and make the pinterest pages you share attractive, concise and related to your business vibe), then begin exploring their amazing tutorials, FAQ pages and draft your pins. You pick a pinning schedule and can schedule out your content months in advance, which is excellent for busy small business owners (and moms-to-be!). Also, you can join "tribes", which are the Tailwind equivalent of a group text. Everyone within the tribe helps one another grow their online presence and content spreads like wildfire.
For more information, check out this super helpful SEO post by my friend Jessica of Art and Soul Events.
And if you are on the search for growing your Pinterest following and helping to share more about your business and blog online, be sure to sign up with this code.
Be sure to sign up ASAP if you need help exposing your brand to new people on Pinterest. I have noticed HUGE success in the past 6 months since I signed up. This is not a sponsored post, FYI, I just love this service.

It's December, the month of food! This month, Heather Corker of Corker and Mills catering brings us a tasty dessert you just have to try – it's not as complicated as you might think!
For the coffee, booze, biscuit, chocolate and cream lovers – meet Tiramisu. Tiramisu is like dessert royalty. It has it all. Eating Tiramisu is not for the faint-hearted (or lactose intolerant) – it most definitely fits the description of a "taste explosion". When the Italians do food, they don't hold back.
While this trifly dessert may appear to be as intense and complicated to make as it is to taste, Tiramisu is incredibly easy to bring together and the finished product always, always, puts on a good show. And it will make the host/hostess (i.e. you) look like a culinary god(dess).
What you'll need:
- 300ml Double Cream
- 300ml Whipping Cream
- 250g (one tub) Mascarpone
- 75ml of Madeira (or Marsala)
- 5 Tablespoons of golden caster sugar
- splash of vanilla extract or flavouring
- 300ml strong coffee – made with 2 tablespoons of coffee granules and 300ml of boiling water
- 175g (one package) of sponge fingers
- Chunk of dark chocolate
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Bringing it all together:
Put the creams, mascarpone, Madiera, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk or beat together until the cream and mascarpone have completely combined and the consistency is like a thick whipped cream.
Now its time to get your serving dish nearby and ready to use!
In a separate, shallow, dish pour some of the coffee and dip your sponge fingers in, turning over in the coffee so that they are completely soaked, but not soggy (work quickly! True to their name, sponge fingers are very spongy and will soak a lot of liquid up very fast).
Layer the soaked sponge fingers into your dish until the base is completely covered. Then, layer on half or part of the cream – completely covering the fingers. Grate dark chocolate over the cream mixture – to your own, personal, desired amount – and then dust with a little bit of cocoa powder.
Then, repeat the process, ending with the cream layer on top!
Chill this dish. Tiramisu is best made the night before, in order to let the flavours set and mix together in all sorts of wonderful ways. Tiramisu will keep up to 2 days in the fridge.
Enjoy. This goodness goes quickly – I almost didn't get a picture before it was gone!
It's about that time again, chaps. Heather from catering duo Corker and Mills is bringing us the November installment of their tasty recipes.
This month we're baking with everyone's favourite November flavour, pumpkin. And who better to take us through some taste sensations than our resident Yank….
Pumpkins derive most of their fame from being turned into scary Halloween Jack-o-lanterns or pretty princess carriages a la Disney's Cinderella and some bibbity-bobbity-boo.
But I, personally, like to eat them. Pumpkin soups and pumpkin seeds and pumpkin breads and pumpkin pie and pumpkin lattes… yeah, good.
I use tinned pumpkin when I bake / cook because A) boiling and disecting and scraping the inside of a pumpkin is a pain and B) I've tried the boiling-disecting-scraping game before, only to discover that after all my efforts – and blood and sweat and tears to be authentic and rustic and cool – my pie/bread/soup ended up tasting THE EXACT SAME as using the can. No love is won over for extra effort here. (quick tip : Waitrose has just begun selling Libby's tinned pumpkin!)
Pumpkin loaf (makes two loaves)
These loaves can be kept in the freezer for up to a week after baking. Let cool completely, wrap in plastic wrap/ bag and pop it in the freezer! (and obvs let it thaw for a few hours – 3 or 4 is good – before trying to slice and try and a later date)
Ingredients :
- 2 cups flour (approx. 240g)
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (or nutmeg)
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks) soft
- 1 cup sugar (approx. 200g)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar (approx. 220g)
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin
- Sift dry ingredients, set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and mix in one at
- a time.
- Beat in Vanilla and the pumpkin puree with the last egg.
- Stir the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture until just incorporated.
- Pour batter into a lined loaf tin
- Bake at 180 C for approximately 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the
- middle of the loaf comes out clean.

These would be brilliant stocking fillers, or you could use them as the stockings!
Very cute! His and hers would be amazing – headphones and a crown! Available for £15 each at Not on the Highstreet.
Introducing, our new monthly feature – Baking with Corker and Mills! Nested is proud to be partnering up with the catering duo to get people really stuck into baking throughout the year. They make it look so easy, and so yummy. This month we're diving in with a gorgeous treat from 'American as apple pie' Heather Corker.
Autumn is the best time to bake.
Chilly days just make you want to snuggle up to a lovely someone, don't they? Or, in lieu of that, at least to make a nice steaming mug of coffee (or tea) to accompany a delicious slice of freshly baked cake. Its all pretty much the same thing, really – cake and love, love and cake (isn't it?).
The Autumn season is ripe (literally) with so many wonderful, wonderful ingredients to bake with. Pumpkins and apples and pears and figs, oh my! I get giggly and excited just thinking about it. Its a little bit like having a crush. But a baking crush. A big baking crush.
Are you ready for this? Good.
Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Roll
Apple pie meets cinnamon roll. Yeah, this is love.
This is a wonderfully goopy and cinnamony delicious, appley sort of thing that I am deeming as a breakfast food (well, if the French get their croissants…).
Now, if you are planning some sort of breakfast / brunch / get together with family and friends, something tasty for the kids on a weekend, this is sure to be a hit around the table. It takes a while to make – the yeast requires some patience – however it is a super simple recipe and nearly fool proof (the first time I made this the dough didn't rise! But I used the dough anyway and it was scrumptious all the same).
Makes two loaves
For the Dough:
- 2 1/4 teaspoon (1 package) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- big pinch of sugar
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm whole milk
For the Filling:
- 3 large apples, peeled and cut into small cubes (British bramley apples are good for this)
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cornflour
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
- pinch of salt
For the Streusel:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- pinch of cardamom (optional)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 egg and sugar for brushing and topping the dough before baking
To Make the Dough: In a small bowl, mix together yeast, warm water and pinch of sugar. Stir together until yeast is dissolved and set aside for 10 minutes. Yeast will foam up.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, add the sugar, butter, cardamom, and salt. Blend on medium speed until pale in color and fluffy, about 3 minutes. (or hand blend, thats fine too – and usually what I do! elbow grease and all that…)
Stop the mixer, scrape down the bowl, and add eggs and 1 cup of flour. Blend on medium speed until thoroughly incorporated and creamy, about 1 minute. Stop the mixer and add 2 cups more cups of flour, yeast mixture, and warm milk. Blend in medium speed until the flour disappears. Mixture will be very wet.
Add 1 1/2 to 2 more cups of flour. Blend until the flour is almost incorporated.
Dump the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for 5 to 8 minutes by hand. Dough will be glossy and just slightly sticky. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a towel and let rest in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, make the apple filling and the streusel.
To make the Apple Filling, toss together diced apples, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, cornflour, nutmeg and salt. Leave at room temperature and set aside until ready to use.
To make the Streusel Filling:
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cardamom. Add butter and, using your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture. Break up the butter into the mixture, until thoroughly incorporated and crumbly. Set aside.
Continue on with the Dough:
Line two baking sheets with parchment/grease proof paper and set aside.
When the dough has doubled in size, dump it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Use a large knife to divide the dough in two. Roll each dough piece into about a 10×14-inch rectangle. Sprinkle with half of the streusel mixture. Add half of the apple mixture over the streusel. Add a bit of the yummy apple juices too.
Starting from the longest side, begin to roll the dough. This isn't like a cinnamon roll, you don't have to roll it into a super tight swirl. Fold in about 1 1/2 to 1-inch folds. Keep the seam on the bottom.
Repeat the same steps for the second piece of dough.
Carefully lift roll onto the prepared baking sheet.
**Now is a great time to freeze or refrigerate the rolled dough for later baking.**
Take a pair of clean scissors and slice into the dough leaving about 3/4-inch of dough still attached. Slice at 1-inch intervals. Carefully begin to curve the sliced dough into a semi-circle/horseshoe shape. If some of the apple juices escape, that's ok. Cover with a towel and let rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Brush dough with egg wash and sprinkle with raw or granulated sugar. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Best served warm with hot coffee or tea. Breakfast cake will last, well wrapped at room temperature, for up to 3 days… or 3 hours.
** If you decide to freeze the dough for later baking, place it in the fridge to thaw the evening before you'd like to bake it. Once it's thawed, slice it according to the above directions. Allow to come to room temperature, and allow to rise for another 30 minutes beyond that. Wash with egg and sugar, then bake.
** If you decide to refrigerate the dough, simple take it out of the fridge, slice according to the above directions. Let come to room temperature, then allow to rise for 30 minutes beyond that. Brush with egg and sugar, then bake.
Et Voila! You will be loved for ever and ever. Trust me.
Can't wait for November's baking treat!
I never realised how dull stairs could be…these stair designs are amazing!
Just a little bit of wallpaper and a keen eye for a good pattern is necessary for these ones – so simple but it creates such a striking and fun effect. You could also use paint and stencils if you have more time (and energy).
Dark paint and masking tape create a brilliant illusion on a staircase. Good for fairly wide steps, and if you want to display your precious things in a clearly marked out area!
If you had a few stairs that led up to your child's room, this is a lovely idea to paint their favourite books onto each step. Probably not for your main stairs – but how great is it to encourage a love of books every time they went up to bed.
Would you be up for doing something like this to your stairs? Any of these ideas appeal to you? We don't have stairs in our flat, and now I'm sad.
Introducing the Clutter Busting Game…
The rules:
1. Each child chooses a ball and completes the task written on it;
2. Once the task is done and bounced into a pot it's time to choose another one;
3. After 30 minutes, whoever has the most balls gets a prize. Prizes could include a no-chores day, pick of the evening movie or choice of that night's dinner.
Try it and let us know how it works!

I am a great one for recycling old items and giving them a second chance to shine. One of my favourite things to do this with is picture frames. Littered around my the walls of my little London flat, I have old recycled and mismatched frames, sanded down and painted black for effect. It makes a really interesting display of your favourite images and definitely fuelled my inspiration for other things you can do with old picture frames.
It's amazing just how versatile old frames can be. Start going through the loft and raiding local car boot sales, it's time to get creative. I think I am going to run out of wall space thanks to this picture perfect post!
Tea and coffee tray
Make sure you find a sturdy frame for this. All you need to add is a pair of handles, either from your local DIY store or a car boot sale and hey presto, a unique and ever changing tray. I like the idea of framing interesting, vintage wallpaper.
Frame within a frame
If you want to get a bit more creative with photo montages then this is for you. A pretty sizeable outer frame is required but the effect is really nice, bringing all the inner items together. I also love the way colour has been used here to match the frames with their surroundings. Simple but very effective in creating a fresh and clean design.
Shake it like a Polaroid picture
An old frame works really well here and complements the rustic approach. If you can't choose which images you like the best or are a bit of a Polaroid hoarder, then this is the solution for you. As I apply to both those categories, I am now looking for a spare wall of my own to do this with!
Something fishy
Last but not least why not make your very own underwater world. I love this and best of all no fish food is required. The slightly faded wallpaper is a nice touch so it would be worth while shining a light on the frame or even simpler, white washing the square of wallpaper behind the frame. Trying using a different type of frame for different rooms; a bright frame would work equally well in a kids room!
As the evenings gets darker and the woolly hat creeps out of the box above the wardrobe, I find myself on a mission to keep a little bit of summer in my home.
In my quest I recently came across this DIY paper lanterns post from Martha Stewart and am now determined to create one of my own. Look out for pictures soon!
It is so simple and can be used to bring those bright summery colours back into any winter home; they almost look like flowers. Great for a baby's room. Why not play around with the concept yourself and post your pictures below. It's easy, cheap and helps light up any rainy British evening.

Tim Farron: Miliband's 100 days of indecision
Originally published by UK Liberal Democrats
Commenting on Ed Miliband's speech in Oldham following his first 100 days as Labour Leader, Liberal Democrat President Tim Farron said:
"Ed Miliband has spent his first 100 days doing exactly nothing. No answers, no policies and no apology for the mess that Labour made, just indecision, head in the sand economics and a blank piece of paper.
"In Government he failed on the economy, in opposition he's failed the people of Oldham and Saddleworth by promoting a disgraced MP who spread racially divisive lies.
"People in Oldham and Saddleworth deserve better than an MP from a party that would've stood idly by and watched Britain head towards Irish-style collapse. Tough decisions protect Britain, not opportunistic complaining and blank pages.
"This New Year the Liberal Democrats are making the positive difference in Government. We're all working to clean up after Labour's disastrous 13-year house-party, Ed Miliband's still the sulky teenager trying to pretend it wasn't his fault."

Your Host ~ Oonagh
Chocolate Ambassador
Director, She Universe
Oonagh Browne was once a Project Manager in London and got to a place of 'Enough!' Not knowing what was for her, she went on a soul searching journey. This journey took her across the world and on a quest in search of a life that was whole. On the quest Oonagh discovered that the answers lay on the inside and not the outside.
Much to her amazement in this quest she discovered a passion and talent for all things chocolate and many answers to questions she had been searching for her whole life. Its like a voice that she only had touched on in moments of her life came fully alive. This passion burned and when she moved to New Zealand to be a part of the She Universe team, she of course brought her passion for chocolate with her. Her passion continued to grow as an art form to express the inner magic that is inside of everyone.
Oonagh's passion for chocolate attracted Sarah, a fantastic chocolatier from Sydney and at this point Oonagh stepped back from production and into product development and going back to the source of the ingredient. This brought her to the cacao farm in Samoa and her expertise for and love of cacao grew even more as she listened, discovered and merged with this ancient sacred ingredient.
Oonagh's passion is contagious, her openness and her discoveries in life, she wears on her sleeve and is available to all who are with her. On this retreat Oonagh will share her journey, passion and love in its entirely with you.

The New York City correction commissioner announced on Wednesday that he was firing a captain and five Rikers Island guards who hogtied an inmate and then, while his hands were still cuffed behind him and his ankles shackled, savagely beat him in April 2012.
The inmate, Robert Hinton, who was being held in solitary confinement on a cellblock for men with mental illnesses, emerged from the beating with a broken nose and a fractured vertebra; his eyes were swollen shut; and he was bleeding from the mouth.
The decision by the commissioner, Joseph Ponte, followed an unusually forceful ruling by an administrative law judge last fall, who wrote that she was recommending the dismissal of all six in hopes that it would send a message that "silence and collusion" among officers would not be tolerated. Usually, in past brutality cases, officers were given suspensions and then returned to work.
A representative of the Bronx district attorney, whose office has jurisdiction over Rikers criminal matters, said the case was currently under investigation for possible criminal prosecution.
"My decision makes clear that there is no room for this type of behavior on Rikers," Mr. Ponte said in a statement. "We must have a higher expectation of performance in situations like this, and while acknowledging how difficult the officers' job is, we must also accept the need to earn back the faith and trust of the community we serve."
Mr. Ponte's decision is the latest signal that pressure by federal and city officials, as well as reports in the news media, over the last year to rein in the violence at Rikers are having an impact.
Mayor Bill de Blasio vowed in November to make ending the violence at Rikers a priority and has allocated millions of dollars to improve the jail, including adding staff members and tripling the surveillance cameras.
But the decision to fire the six officers comes nearly three years after the beating, an indication of the deep dysfunction that officials and advocates say has long plagued the Correction Department's disciplinary system.
An analysis of 10 years of administrative trial data by The New York Times in cases involving correction officers and excessive force found that it took an average of 30 months between the date of the incident and the judge's ruling, a time period when guards can continue working.
Eight months after the episode, the captain who oversaw the beating and was fired, Budnarine Behari, was involved in another vicious encounter that was highlighted in reports by The Times and by Preet Bharara, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York. In that episode, witnesses said, Captain Behari and several other officers handcuffed two inmates to a gurney, wheeled them into a room without security cameras and beat them until blood spattered the walls.
Also fired on Wednesday were Officers Geronimo Almanzar and Vincent Siederman, who were found guilty of using excessive force and then lying about it to investigators, along with Officers Paul Bunton, Ramon Cabrera and Raul Marquez, who were charged with giving false statements to investigators and filing false incident reports.
Mr. Hinton, who is being held at Elmira State Prison on a parole violation stemming from an attempted murder conviction, has sued the department.
Disciplinary cases are typically handled internally by the department. But if officers choose to contest the decision, as they did in this case, the matter is sent to an administrative trial judge.
This is the first time since becoming commissioner that Mr. Ponte has received a judge's recommendation to dismiss an officer in a brutality case, correction officials said. The last guard to be dismissed for using excessive force was Kadar Stapleton in January 2014, by Dora B. Schriro, the previous commissioner. In that case, the judge wrote that the guard had repeatedly punched and kicked an inmate with mental illness while he was lying on the ground primarily because the man was making "loud and disruptive remarks."
In her decision, Tynia Richard, the administrative law judge, noted that Mr. Hinton, who is 6-foot-3, was a member of the Bloods gang, had a history of violence and took medication for aggression and paranoia. But she also described several of the officers as physically formidable, noting that one had been a boxer.
Judge Richard contrasted the severity of the inmate's injuries with the officers', which she called "minimal." She noted that the only officer given medication, Mr. Bunton, was "sent home with Tylenol."
James Frankie, a lawyer who represents Mr. Behari, said there were enough problems with the judge's decision that he had expected Mr. Ponte to overrule the recommendation for dismissal. He said he planned to appeal to either the state courts or the Civil Service Commission, which could take six months to a year. During that time, Mr. Behari would not be permitted to work at the jail or collect a salary.

The province is increasing its annual funding for transition houses by $580,000 and the result is that 24 of the 61 transition houses in B.C., including one in Squamish, will enjoy budget increases.
The Howe Sound Womens Centre in Squamish is expected to gain $20,104 in annual funding.
Minister of State for Womens and Seniors Services Ida Chong announced the increase last week and also pledged a further $80,000 to enhance services in Queen Charlotte City and Fernie.
The increase results from the introduction of a transition house-funding model.
"We promised to direct resources to where theyre needed by focussing them on direct, essential services for women facing abuse," said Chong.
"Funding for transition houses has traditionally been ad hoc and inconsistent, as new houses opened.
"The new model acknowledges that each house is different, and gives us flexibility in making funding decisions while ensuring consistent funding for all houses."
In addition, the ministry is investing $200,000 from its prevention of violence budget for a community-based initiative to provide prevention services.
The Community Co-ordination for Women's Safety project will help co-ordinate groups that provide direct support to women experiencing abuse or violence.
Pacific Salmon funding running dry
The Pacific Salmon Foundation is calling for more funding to help support volunteers throughout B.C. who work to enhance and preserve pacific salmon habitat.
The PSF funds groups such as the Squamish River Watershed Society through the Community Salmon Program, but admitted it was becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with demand.
"We need more help the DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) is under the budget knife and so is the provincial government," the Director of Salmon programs, Rich Chapple, said.
"As government funding has become more scarce, weve noticed an increase in applications. This puts greater pressure on our selection committees, who have to make hard decisions in the face of more requests and less funding from other sources."
The DFO contributes $300,000 annually to PSFs Community Salmon Program while the remainder is raised through PSFs charity dinners and auctions, corporate partnerships and private donations.

Good morning! I can't believe it's already Thursday. Literally time is going by too fast. It needs to slow down! Since the weekend is fast approaching, one of my favorite pastimes to do on a weekend is brunch.
I mean you can't go wrong with brunch and spending time with friends. I probably go too often since I do need to go grocery shopping too so that is part of the problem 😉
If you follow me on insta then you know my obsession with food especially brunch. I wanted to share with y'all some of my favorite local spots in the Tampa area. Here are some of them listed below. Let me know if you've been to any or have an establishment to add to my list to try.
- Ava

- Boca
- Oxford Exchange

The article insists on mislabeling the man an 'Asian,' but we all know that's politically correct British code for 'Muslim.' A hunk of raw bacon was thrown at a shop worker in what police believe was a racially-motivated attack. (What 'race' is Islam?)
Manchester Evening News The incident happened at the Pemberton Service Station on Ormskirk Road, Pemberton, at about 4.30am on Monday. The
Asian Muslim attendant was working alone in the station when the door opened and the offender threw the slice of raw bacon. He then ran out of the shop and up Ormskirk Road towards Orrell. The attacker was white, about 5ft 8 of a medium build and with short, dark hair.
He was wearing a bright-green and black-chequered snood covering the lower part of his face and head, a black jacket with two white stripes down each arm and a white line under the arms. He was also wearing baggy light-blue jeans and dark trainers with white laces and a white rim around the bottom. Police have now released a CCTV still and urged anyone who recognizes the man to come forward. (Don't hold your breath)
Police Constable Roy Lunio from Greater Manchester Police said: "Because of the connotations attached to the meat and the fact it was deliberately thrown at an
Asian Muslim man, we are treating this as a racially motivated crime. (What 'race' is Islam?)
"To target someone in this way, simply because of their religion or race, is utterly abhorrent and the offender should be ashamed of themselves. "This is not a prank, this is not funny or a laugh, it is a very serious and cowardly thing to do and we need to trace him. "I would urge people to look carefully at the CCTV image and if you think you recognize the offender, please come forward. "Similarly, if you know the culprit and you hear him bragging about what he has done, do the right thing and call us.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the idea behind The Brand Bazaar? What's wrong with the 1:1 branding process?
Working one-on-one with a designer can yield a totally epic result, but it takes time and resources that often aren't available when you're just starting out.
The internet (bless it's soul) has made it so damn easy to become your own boss and heck, it's even easy to make your own website with Squarespace these days! Quality branding was the final frontier.
The Brand Bazaar was created to help people share their big ideas with the world more easily, and with greater impact. There's no need to hunt for a designer who's available, formulate a creative brief, stress about whether the outcome will be as you imagined or worry about costs adding up.
How do I select my colours and fonts?
We have created our own exclusive colour and font libraries with multiple combinations for you to choose from. Once your invoice is paid, we will send you links to access these libraries, and you will nominate your selection for your brand. If you have existing colours and fonts, or have selected your own, we can incorporate these into your Brand Style Guide for you too.
How do I purchase a logo concept?
Simply click the 'Request To Buy' button in the body of the product page, and send your details our way! We'll familiarise ourselves with your business and brand name to ensure the design would be the perfect fit. Then we'll get back to you with approval to purchase and an invoice to seal the deal.
Will you prepare a free proof of the logo(s) I like using my business name so I can see what it looks like?
If you're struggling to picture your brand name in a certain logo, please get in touch and we'll see what we can do! We can usually assist.
Can you make additional alterations to the concept to suit my vision?
Additional customisation can be provided at our hourly rate of $150/hr (+gst). If you're looking for extensive customisation a one-on-one custom design package may be better suited to your needs. Please get in touch and we can take it from there.
How long will it take to receive the final branding package?
We will respond to your request to buy within 2 business days. If everything looks good, we'll shoot you through an invoice to seal the deal. This invoice is due within 48 hours, and once it's been paid, we'll mark the concept as 'sold' and start the clock. We'll aim to finalise your branding package within 10 business days (often sooner). To meet this deadline we'll need you to confirm your colours and fonts within 48 hours of us sending you the libraries too.
Why do you need to approve my request to buy?
We need to confirm that you're the first to enquire about the design, and that your business name is a good match for the concept. For example, a logo may have its icon based on a particular letter. If your business name doesn't contain this letter, that won't work. To ensure your selection is a good match for your brand name, please read the 'Constraints' section on the page.
What are my options for paying the invoice?
Your invoice can be paid using credit, debit card or (for Australian clients) by direct deposit.
Will I be charged any additional taxes beyond the advertised sale price?
Zip, nil, zero. All our pricing includes any relevant taxes (including GST for Australian customers).
What file formats will I receive my logo in?
You will receive your logo in the following file formats... .eps / .pdf / high-res tiff / low-res png. (You'll also receive our exclusive 'File Format Survival Guide' to help you understand which files to use where!)
Will I receive a brand style guide?
Yes! We're big believers in brand consistency, and your style guide will greatly assist with this and allow you to communicate your brand assets to any employees or contractors who may be completing work for your brand.
What information will be covered in my Brand Style Guide?
Your purchase will include a 10-page Brand Style Guide, covering...
- An introduction to your logo and general rules for its use
- An overview of your primary & secondary logo formats, and your brand icon
- An introduction to, and overview of, your brand fonts
- An introduction to, and overview of, your brand colours
Click here to see an example Brand Style Guide.
How will the final files be delivered?
Your branding package will be made available for easy download via a Dropbox link. We strongly encourage you to download, save and backup your branding package in a safe location.
What rights will I receive to the final artwork?
Upon payment of your invoice, we will grant you a perpetual, exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide and transferable licence to use the Design, and any Materials we supply or make available to you, for your business purposes. For more in-depth information, please refer to our terms & conditions.
Can I re-sell designs I purchase from The Brand Bazaar?
Your license is transferrable if you sell or merge your business. However, you may not re-sell any designs from The Brand Bazaar.
Do you offer refunds?
No, each sale is final and non-refundable. This is because there is significant work involved to custom-fit the design to your business name and prepare your branding package.
Can you also design some business cards, and other brand materials for me?
We sure can! We work one-on-one with clients all the time through our sister brand, Neverland Studio. Please let us know in your enquiry and we'd be happy to swing you our rates.
When are new designs added to The Brand Bazaar?
New designs are added regularly, in batch drops. If you're keen to be the first to know when new designs hit the store, sign up to our mailing list.

"Little Wooly Book," or WWII secret intelligence book, 1944
From 1943 to 1945, Katherine Keene (1919–2013) served in the Women's Army Corps (WAC), attached to the secret intelligence branch of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in London. Her duties included nominating potential bombing sites on the basis of photographs of German munitions stockpiles. To aid in identification, Keene used the extremely tiny images in her classified copy of "Instructions for Recording Markings of German Military Equipment," or, as she called it, her "little wooly book"—a small volume clad in wool that she could conceal in her waistband. Keene recorded her wartime experiences in her diary and later typed excerpts as captions for the photographs she had taken.

I'm currently working on my first trapezoid-shaped commission! I have sooo much work left to do, but here's a little sneak peek! Please excuse the gigantic mess that is now my studio. Now that I'm doing the whole Mandy Fitz Furniture gig I've added fabric, stains and stuffing to the mix of paints and pastels...
Still just working on the underpainting. This is going in a collector's sun room above a set of glass doors where the ceiling slopes down on the right. They asked for the painting to slope in a similar way so Ben cut this wood with a circular saw and I sanded it. It was a little hard to figure out but now that we've done it, this opens up ideas for all kinds of commissions!
This painting is 8 feet long which makes it (minus the Garden mural) the largest commission I've ever had! I'll show more progress shots in the coming weeks, hoping to have this finished by mid-July!
On a different note, I am SO excited to announce that tomorrow you all will get to read about two incredibly talented artists that I had the pleasure of interviewing for this month's "Artists to Know" series. Get excited! :) :) :)

A judge from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that a dusty or dirty car is not grounds to pull someone over. That became a matter of question during the appeal for Shaune Woods who was pulled over by Ohio State troopers Drew Untied and Michael Wilson. On Aug 22. Judge W. Scott Gwin ruled that officers did not have probable cause to pull over Shaune Woods for following too closely on Nov. 3, 2015.
The troopers were watching traffic on a highway when Wilson saw Woods' vehicle. The troopers ran the plate on the vehicle and it came back as a rental. Trooper Untied stated that people involved with criminal activity often use rental vehicles to avoid seizure of their own property. Untied stated the car appeared dusty which is uncommon for a rental car. For that reason alone the troopers stopped Woods on a trumped up charge of following too closely and conducted an illegal search of his property.
According to News 9, "the vehicle was searched and drugs were discovered within the passenger side seat." The troopers charged him with possession of drugs, a first-degree felony. The drugs were later identified as cocaine according to Licking County Common Pleas Court records.
Despite the fact that drugs were found, the practice by the troopers pulling over a dirty car set a dangerous precedent as to what police could pull people over. The dashcam footage debunked the troopers' claim that Woods was following too closely. In the footage, Woods' vehicle is in the right lane and the cruiser in the left lane, several car lengths behind. As the two cars traveled near each other, vehicles in the left lane moved into the right lane.
"Why would the left lane drivers be merging right? Simple. There's a cop car behind them, in the left lane," the ruling states. "Most reasonable drivers merge right when a vehicle behind them appears to want to go faster, especially when it's the police."
As more cars shifted into the right lane drivers braked to accommodate the vehicles. Woods was guilty of doing the same… switching to the right lane while making room for more cars to get into the lane. It is a common practice by most drivers with the most basic of common sense. The judge ruled that Woods did that as well and the entry states he did not violate the statue of following too closely.
"The Court finds that the video was more reliable and more accurate than the other evidence offered. And at times, the video simply contradicted the trooper's version of what occurred." the court record states.
"Who knows what the weather conditions had been like the week, days, or even hours before the stop. It's Ohio. The point is weather can change quickly here. If that's the threshold by which traffic stops are made, then we're all in jeopardy," the judge ruled. " And if it was dirty, so what? Having a dusty vehicle with fingerprints on the hatch back or tailgate, is not evidence of a traffic violation or reason to believe a crime is being committed."

Starting a home remodeling project and working on its budget is certainly an overwhelming task. Well, if you are doing this for the first time, you most probably have no idea about costing and budgeting of the project.
Here is a home remodeling cost guide for you to understand how you can figure out the budget of your project. No matter whether you want to remodel bedroom, living room, kitchen, bath or garage, this guide will help you determine how to get most out of your money.
How to start:
First of all, make a wish list. Yes, this is your first step. Once you have it ready in your hand, rule out all those things, which are practically unaffordable. Now, rule out those things, which are practically unnecessary. This will leave you with a list of things that you actually need and can afford.
In a remodeling project it is quite important to figure out what you can afford and what exactly are your necessities. This will help you spend sensibly as well as help you get exactly the things which are important.
Now, here we have listed the top 4 points, which will help you figure out the cost of your remodeling project. These steps are:
Estimate a cost: Generally, most of the projects, which upgrade rooms like bath or add an additional family room may cost around $100 to $200 per square feet. If you are going to involve a qualified and experienced contractor, it is good to discuss your project in detail with them and get a rough idea of home remodeling cost estimate.
Decide a spending limit: Once you have the estimate on your hand, the next thing to figure out is whether you have money or going to take up a loan. If you are planning to pay by cash, the answer is pretty simple. However, if you have to arrange the amount, figure out how much the bank will lend and at what interest rate. The three basic types of loans are:
- Cash-out refinance
- Home equity loan
- Home equity line of credit
The best of all the above mentioned loans is the home equity line of credit. These loans qualify for a lower interest rate as well as you get to deduct the interest amount from your taxes.
Getting quotes: Before you start getting quotes from random contractors, it is ideal that you take references from family and friends. Also, shortlist a few contractors and ask them to give a quote on specific things. Like, let them know the type of plumbing pipes, wires, tiles, etc. you want to use.
Once you have the quotes, go through the past works of the contractor and if possible get in touch with his/her past customers.
Set priorities: Convey your contractor about your priorities. He/she can recommend you on how those points can be incorporated in your project while sticking on the budget. Your contractor can recommend you:
- To go for some low-cost alternative materials
- To use some of the older items which are still functioning
- To cut short your project size a little
Lastly, when everything is sorted out, and the project is about to start, it is strongly recommended that you make all the purchase yourself. This will help you understand exactly for what are you paying and you can easily save up to 20%.

Frequently Asked Questions
It has been speculated than many great painters of the past have used devices such as this to create their masterpieces.
Q: How do I hold the iPhone or iPad in place over my drawing while I sketch?
There's no right or wrong way, but we usually just find a vase about 12-18 inches tall and place it on that with the camera pointing at your drawing. Some of our users have built their own mounts out of repurposed document holders. You can go crazy with design ideas, but we often just stack up some books and use a bit of masking tape to stop it from slipping.
Q: Does Camera Lucida App support landscape mode?
As of version 4, Camera Lucida supports landscape mode! On the iPhone, you get some great rotate features that allow you to fill the whole screen with the image, and on the iPad, the image automatically rotates as you reorient your device.
Q: When I zoom or pan in on an image in my image library, why is the selection window a square rather than a rectangle?
Sometimes I like to leave in the old FAQ questions just to show how far we've come! With the new version of Camera Lucida, you have complete control of the zooming, panning and cropping. You even get a save feature to make sure you can stop your drawing and come back to it exactly as you left it.
Q: What happened to the "roll" and "library" buttons?
We'd love to ramble on about the newer, sleeker interface, but the simple answer is "it's no longer needed". Notice we also did away entirely with the settings page? All of the app's features, such as the transparency slider, are dynamic.
Q: The image manipulation functions are cool; but they're hard to understand. What gives?
As of version 4, the image manipulation functions found by pressing the toolbox icon work on the image you currently see rather than the original image. This allows you to stack effects on top of one another. At any time, you can revert back to your original by hitting the first button on the list.
Q: Seeing the picture detail and my pen/pencil at the same time is difficult. Is this normal?
There are several ways to optimize the view that you are seeing. Using the transparency slider is the easiest way to make sure you find the proper balance between the image you're drawing and your work in progress. Also, if you are drawing fine details such as those found in a portrait, make sure your picture is as large as possible since the size of the iPhone screen becomes the limiting factor. Finally, ensure that your work area is well lit as this will make for the clearest viewing.
Q: I was drawing and my screen went blank. Is this normal?
Yes, the iPhone's power save settings are still in effect. Simply touching the screen will make the image reappear. You can adjust these settings from your iPhone's setting page. When your settings are properly set, Camera Lucida will stay on until you shut it off.

Location: Saba
After having a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner and a night out it was time to leave Statia. Waking up to wonderful banana pancakes, everybody was ready to crush the day. After attending marine bio in the morning it was time to start passage prep to head to Saba. Our passage was another passage that was 100% lead by students. Everything was done by the students again including navigation on charts with no electronics, raising and dropping sails, helming so on and so on. Our passage was a real toasty one today and quite fun. Evan and Nick caught a wahoo, which was the 3rd fish of the day after 2 early barracuda landings. Reaching Saba after 3 to 4 hours of sailing it was immediately shower time to cool off and freshen up. Many people decided to try to learn how to back-flip, some successful and some not so much but all in the spirit of good fun. After everyone was cooled off and cleaned up it was dinnertime, another wonderful meal and a fresh wahoo to fill us up. Ending tonight with Maritime studies concludes the wonderful day of November 27th.

Week 21: Standing desk./
Two days ago I decided I wanted to try a standing table. Instead of 'investing' $1,000 I thought it'd be a better idea to use old furniture lying around.
The result is me using a dresser, cardboard box, and giant drawing clipper, to create a working standing table.
So far it feels pretty good! I'm changing my posture often. I'm stretching left and right. I'm curling in my spine inwards and out. Protruding and contracting my chest. etc.
The biggest benefit however, feels like its on my trapezius.
I usually have tight traps, but standing all day feels like it's bringing it down and relaxing it.
This may be placebo. We'll see how I go in the coming weeks/months.
P.S. I also updated last week's post. Week 20: Ideas on Writing and Drawing
'Till next time!
[edit: The standing table lasted less than a week. My feet hurt and I was getting discouraged/distracted from drawing due to being uncomfortable.]

My father never talked about the war (WWII). He didn't "not" talk about it, he just did not bring it up and no one pushed him for stories. He died when I was twenty-one and I did not really know him. I also know very little about his time in the South Pacific except that he was in New Guinea and Australia, he was in the 22nd Bomb Group and he flew a B-26. He was a Lt. Colonel and a pilot. I just spent a week in a cabin by the airport in Lockhart River, where the original building was constructed for the war in 1942.
It was only as we were waiting for our plane to leave that I saw the display of historical markers regarding the airfield.
At home in a box of stuff that I have had since I was a kid, I have an embroidered patch with that 5 and shooting star on it. It was my dad's. I was walking the same ground he had in WWII. I really had no idea.
Birds. Peace. Love. Earth. Laughter. Music.
|It has changed very little over the years.
|We stayed in one of those cabins in the back there.
We may both have opened the door to the Gent's room with this same doorknob. I do not think he ever dreamed that anyone in the family would ever be there, where he had been (at least part of the time) during the war. I really had no idea. But I am very grateful that I was in this place where my father had been. I am also sad. I wish so much that I had known him better. He was a far more complex man than people where allowed to be back then, and I reckon it took its toll on him. He died at 58. Daddy, I was there where you were.
I would never have gone to the Iron Range if I were not a birder. Once again, birds and a love of "getting out amongst it" has lead me to things I never expected. I am grateful.

Developing a Signature Look: The Complete Guide {Part II}
This post is the second of a two-part mini series. Click here to read Developing a Signature Look: The Complete Guide {Part I}.
After the WHY I now want to get into the HOW of signature looks: How to develop your own signature look, one that expresses your personal style and suits your lifestyle. How to start with a basic mood board like the one above and turn it into a complete, wearable look in 4 steps. Now, creating something as personal as a signature look can never be a linear process and of course there is no single way to do it. I tried to distill the major components into tangible steps but, as always, feel free to pick out whichever bits you find most helpful and adjust the rest. Here is an overview of the steps:
A signature look in four steps
As with all things wardrobe building, the two factors to keep in mind are form and function. Before you can start sketching out the individual components of your signature look you first need to figure out exactly what form and function mean to you: what is the essence of your style (form) and what are your wardrobe needs (function). Step 1 will help you refine your style concept and extract the three pieces of information you need to create your signature look. Step 2 is all about figuring out which functional criteria your signature look needs to fulfil. Step 3 is where the real magic happens: where you combine form and function to design your signature look, from the main items to the finishing touches. Step 4 will then give you some ideas on how to best implement your new look into your wardrobe.
Some tips before you start
Designing a signature look is a very creative process and you will need to do a lot of iterations until you arrive at the final look. Make sure you have set up a comfortable and inspiring work space for yourself that allows you to view a lot of images and notes at the same time, either on your screen or on a desk (if you have a colour printer and can print your inspiration images). Be prepared to take a ton of notes, rewrite your ideas and cull bad ones.
Step 1: Refine your style concept
The first prerequisite for developing a signature look: your style concept. Now, your style concept does not need to be a masterpiece yet, fully formed and stable for multiple seasons. For most people their style concept will remain a work-in-progress for several years and that is ok. Creating a signature look for your current likes will help you define them in detail and ultimately allow them to evolve and develop.
Before you get to work on your signature look, reserve an afternoon for an extensive inspiration session and build a huge mood board full of images that inspire you in some way in regard to your style. Aim for coherence and only allow images on your mood board that you truly love - no fillers. Then: Use your mood board to build a style concept. Read this post for an overview of all the different components of a good style concept. For the purpose of creating a signature look, focus on the first three components only (ignore the others for now):
- the mini mood board that represents the aesthetic feel of your style concept
- the list of element
- the colour palette
If you have never built a style concept before, take your time with this first step - spread it out over a couple of days and let your ideas develop. Sometimes, a little bit of incubation time does wonders for our level of creativity.
Step 2: Figure out your wardrobe needs
Apart from your style, your signature look should also be tailored to your body, colouring and lifestyle, i.e. your everyday activities. Everyday? Yes, I believe your signature look should not be one that you wear twice a month for special occasions. As the flagship look for your overall style it should play a major part in your rotation of outfits and be suitable for everyday wear.
To do: Write a set of guidelines for your look. What practical elements does it need to include, what climate does it need to be tailored to, which things do you plan on doing while you wear your signature look, what kinds of things do you like on yourself (soft shades and high-waisted trousers, etc.) and what not (bright yellow, large patterns, etc.)? Also consider how closely you want to define your signature look: do you prefer a greater level of variety in your outfits or do you want a very defined, strong look based on a set of specific items?
Step 3: Build a 5-component signature look
This third step is where you combine all of the information and inspiration you have gathered into a single outfit. Now, an outfit or a look is essentially just a combination of several different elements that you stack on top of each other. The output might be an abstract piece of art but the process of putting it together is really rather basic: start with the foundation, add some furnishing, add finishing touches, then step back and review. In this step you will be using this exact principle to design your signature look, component by component, from the bottom up.
Any outfit can be dissected into five components: proportion, colour, accessories, hair & make up and details. Put your style concept, mood board and notes on your wardrobe needs in front of you, then go through each component and ask yourself the following two questions:
- Which proportion/colour palette/accessories/hair & make up/ details best represent the overall aesthetic of my mood board and style concept?
- Do my chosen proportion/colour palette/accessories/hair & make up/ details work with my colouring, body and lifestyle?
In a nutshell: For each component, find the best representation for your style concept, filter it through your wardrobe's needs, then move on to the next. Once you have written down some suggestions for each component, compare how they would all work together and adjust. Remember: This is not supposed to be a linear process, you will have to go back and forth several times, just like a stylist or an art director would, and adapt things, tweak and fine tune. Your final product should be a complete signature look with a full description of every item and possible alternatives.
To illustrate each component and the process a bit better, I will show you which elements I would extract from the sample mood board above + the final signature look.
A. Proportion
The proportion of a look is its most defining feature and should be chosen first. A proportion is nothing but a combination of specific item categories, for example a longsleeve, loose-fitting sweater + flared mini skirt + long-line, tailored coat or slim-fitting jeans + loafers + t-shirt + cropped jacket.
If your mood board does not contain a lot of outfit photos, finding a certain proportion to represent your style concept can be a little tricky. Ask yourself: if someone walked right out of that world, your style concept, what kind of outfit would they be wearing? A suit or a loose maxi dress? Jeans and a t-shirt or lots of layers? Check out the Proportions Catalogue if you need more inspiration. Function is a key factor for this component, so make sure your chosen proportion is 100% tailored to the climate of where you live and your activities.
Example: The proportion that definitely stands out from our sample mood board is cropped, relaxed-fit pants + a loose-fitting shirt + flat shoes. The leather jacket from the middle picture could be an optional topper.
B. Colour
Extracting a colour essence from a mood board is usually a little easier and more intuitive than extracting a proportion. Inspect the colour palette you have created as part of your style concept, narrow it down to about 2 - 4 colours and then compare your chosen shades to your own colouring. Do they suit your skin tone, hair and eye colour or do you need to tweak them a little? Click here for suggestions on how to tweak a colour palette to your colouring without losing its overall aesthetic.
Example: The colour palette of the sample mood board is relatively muted and deep. I would extract black and burgundy as the main colours and my first choice for key pieces (jackets, pants or shoes), and a light creme as a neutral. Rose gold, gold and a brighter red would make great accent colours, worn either as accessories, make up, nail polish or paired in small doses with neutral pieces.
C. Accessories
Once you have selected the base of your signature look, its colour palette and proportion, you can move on to the finishing touches and details. Refer to your mood board and your list of elements and ask yourself: Which accessories could I supplement my proportion with to better match the overall feel of my style concept/ mood board? Think jewellery, belts, scarfs, gloves, bags. Remember: no accessories is also a statement.
Example: The sample mood board does not contain too many accessories, but we can use our colour palette and the overall feel of the mood board to select some criteria for accessories we need (like a bag), even if the final look is supposed to be relatively streamlined and simple. The rose-gold elements of the mood board could be represented by either a few pieces of delicate rose gold jewellery or a watch.
D. Hair & Make up
Next up: hair & make up. Would a bold red lip express the overall look you are going for or would a classic 10-Step face a la Bobbi Brown be a better fit? Your colouring is obviously a big factor to take into account here, but also your lifestyle: How much time are you able to devote to your beauty routine every morning? Do not aim for an elaborate routine, if you are more of a wash n' go type.
Example: The beauty component is the easiest one to extract in this case: Deep red, burgundy nail polish + a wash of soft gold or bronze eyeshadow. Hair: long and strictly unstyled.
E. Details
Details like tucking hems, rolling up sleeves, patterns, textures and embellishments can completely transform an outfit so as a last step take some notes on the details you want to include in your look. If you prefer a more fluent signature look, these are definitely things you can vary from time to time, e.g. wear a stripy t-shirt one day, a stark white one the next.
Example: The mood board features two striped shirts and, since a marinière in black/cream fits our colour palette well, it could definitely be included in our signature look. Another important feature: rolled up hems and bare ankles.
Here's what a complete signature look for our sample mood board could look like:
Step 4: Implement your signature look
What comes after the design process? Yep, the implementation. Incorporating your fresh, new signature look into your wardrobe. Here's how:
Practice, try it out, tweak some more
Get at least one version of each component of your look and work with it: Try on the full look, including hair and make up, experiment with a few details (e.g. tuck in your shirt, add some liner, etc). Remember that styling is a profession and therefore a skill that can and needs to be trained. While you are at it, pair a few of your signature look components with the rest of your wardrobe and write down the best looks so you have something to refer to later.
Stock your wardrobe
Once you are happy with your final look, aim to curate several items per component that you can mix-and-match. Depending on how fluent your signature look is, choose slightly different versions for your components or double up on items. If the above look was my own signature look I would aim for this constellation:
- 3 pairs of pants (all a relaxed-fit, in black, burgundy and a light creme shade
- 4 tops (two striped, one burgundy, one black)
- 2 pairs of shoes (one black, one burgundy)
- 1 watch (to wear every day)
- 1 eyeshadow palette (with a few different colours)
- 2 nail polishes (one in burgundy, another in either deep green or a deep marine shade)
- 2 clutch bags (one black, another in creme)
- 1 pair of glasses (black)
- 2 leather jackets (one in a shorter, loose fit, another that is a bit longer, but more tight-fitting)
As a final step, consider rearranging your wardrobe a little: Group all of your signature look items together and make sure you give them a good spot in your wardrobe (read: not the back of the shelf or crumpled up in a hard-to-reach drawer).
That's it. I hope this little guide helps some of you! Leave a comment on this post or just send me an email if you have any questions. Happy Sunday!
