“OOTD” goes to Sam. Her style best describes the “indie rock” girl, pulling off a great combination of blacks, denim, leather, and gold. This is a great playful look to try for this summer! http://stephaniesurtida.com/indie-rock/
‘OUTFIT OF THE DAY’ goes to this lovely lady MIA! <3 Love her chic indie style, so I decided to do a sketch inspired by her and incorporated more of my classy taste! http://stephaniesurtida.com/mia-style/
This sketch has two looks – old and new. On the left, is an original sketch I did towards the end of my last quarter at FIDM. http://stephaniesurtida.com/twins-old-new/
A look inspired by her <3 I came up with an original design of a rose pink latex bra, with monster claws embellished with diamond rings – which are grasping her breasts… http://stephaniesurtida.com/lady-gaga/
I think I’ll consider going next year.. only to do street shots of people! I’ve seen a ton of interesting pictures of people and the outfits they pulled together for this music fest, and I never thought there’d be so much inspiration! http://stephaniesurtida.com/stephania-coachella/
OOTD goes to my fellow Filipina friend Alyssa! She’s so adorable! She came into work one day with all the right colors that was just eye catching to me. http://stephaniesurtida.com/alyssa-style/
So as you guys know, bright colored DIP DYE JEANS/DENIM -however you like to call it, is SO IN right now. I’ve created a couple of color combinations with my own dip dye versions… http://stephaniesurtida.com/dip-dye-options/
In the featured image I have is an orignial skirt design that I’ve been orchestrating in my head all week long while my full-time job was preventing me from focusing on the other work I love to do. Finally, I sketched it up bright and early this morning! http://stephaniesurtida.com/iris-schieferstein/
I decided to design a ruffled neck floral print jumpsuit with a black center front divider and color block shorts. I wanted to do something a little different this time and present color options! http://stephaniesurtida.com/sunny-chic/
Today I wanted to feature the neon animal printed top from BARAK that I bought for my sister three years ago when I was in Tokyo for work. http://stephaniesurtida.com/neon-animal/
I finally uncovered my old sketchbook and other favorite books last weekend and decided to put together a couple of collages for you to enjoy! http://stephaniesurtida.com/old-books-uncovered/
In one of my old sketchbooks, I found two designs that I’ve sketched out and really love so I decided to use and recreate them! http://stephaniesurtida.com/city-lights/
I did this sketch right after coming home from work. I was so determined and motivated to get to it even though I had no idea what I was going to sketch. I did a little self reflection today and began to feel a little more grateful for what I have and what I’m doing [...]
I found my old paint jars that I used when I was still at FIDM. I never finished them because painting was never my strongest area; so I’ve just kept them this whole time until I uncovered them from my box full of college stuff. http://stephaniesurtida.com/paint-day/
Today is a “stay in and get better” day for me. http://stephaniesurtida.com/the-need-to-sketch-burn/
Happy Labor Day Weekend! This doll is inspired by my stylish niece, Jianna, who loves to play dress up and model http://stephaniesurtida.com/style-jianna/
Happy Fall everyone! After coming back from a long and busy week from my full-time job, I just feel even more accomplished today keeping myself super duper busy, creative, and active! http://stephaniesurtida.com/autumnal-equinox/
So one of the projects I was given for my next post was from a blogger friend Diwata from TheClothesMuse.com. http://stephaniesurtida.com/70s-craze/
I had the pleasure of helping out my friend, Sara, designer and owner of Who’s Little?, at her One Girl One Dress Annual Fashion show dedicated the beautiful children of CoachArt! http://stephaniesurtida.com/whos-little/
“We take for granted the freedom of having the ability to change our clothes every day. I want to try to walk in the shoes of a little girl who just doesn’t have the same luxuries as I do. So every day of the month for the duration of my KickStarter campaign , I pledge [...]
I had been asked by my newly engaged friend from high school to come up with a few ideas for her wedding dress. I decided to share my rough sketches with everyone to see! http://stephaniesurtida.com/a-wedding-dress/
This is the outfit I planned for myself prior to shopping. It worked out perfectly! http://stephaniesurtida.com/80s-dance-party/
I had just celebrated my 25th birthday this past week with my friends and family the best way I could by throwing an 80s themed dance party! I love the 80s, and although I was born late in the game, I have always loved the music, the fashion, and the dance culture! http://stephaniesurtida.com/80s-dance-party/
Super excited that big changes are happening in my life right now. I’ll blog about it when I have enough of a story to tell, but the way it started is exhilarating to me. http://stephaniesurtida.com/shaping-your-life/
