So, I'm just snapping pictures. My sister is doing all the work--shooting silly poses, not caring too much which pictures I post. I chose some of the really silly ones, as well as the really nice ones. That's my sis. I'm always laughing with her as she goofs around and says funny things. Actually, I'm chuckling as I type this because I can hear her singing from her room.She's off to college

Wow. I'd like to apologize for the unacceptable hiatus between posts. I haven't even written since the beginning of the semester! Bad. I just want to say first of all that I haven't been posting outfits because after cross-country ended and during Christmas break, I gained weight and didn't fit into most of my clothes. I felt so terrible that I got rid of half of my wardrobe because I could bear

If a Viking can sing, and a Singer can sew, then a Viking can sew.I got a Viking sewing machine for Christmas! I held off so long on posts because I wanted to show you what I've done with it. Unfortunately it took me a really long time...Someone asked me to make them a few skirts for them over the holiday, so they gave me the fabric, and I went to work. I figured that I would give this one a test

One thing that I hate about attending school out-of-state is not being able to bring and store all of my arts and crafts supplies in my dorm room. I decided to make a Christmas ornament for the FIT athletic director, who did so much for the cross-country team this semester. I also made picture frames with our team picture for my two coaches. Let me tell you, I really wished I had my glitter glue

I thought I was going to be one of the first 500 in line...I got to the event around ten, and the line was already wrapped around the block. I was hoping hoping hoping I could score one of the Craftactular gift bags, but I rolled out of bed a little to late. I knew I should have taken my scooter...and a bigger tote bag. Here are the goodie bags that I did not score: (The Bust Holiday Craftacular

Last week I completed my first half-marathon. It was tough, and I'm glad that I did it. Everyone was so accommodating in Kansas. Breakfast at the hotel is usually served at 7am, but the kitchen was nice enough to bring up our 12 slices of toast and 2 big bowls of oatmeal earlier for our big race. Our atletic director called this "the breakfast of champions".The team was pretty nervous, and when

These past two weeks have been crazy. I've been able to experience so many wonderful new things, most of them being in the entertainment industry. I am so flipping happy and excited about the opportunities I was able to take advantage of.For the past six weeks, I've been working as a wardrobe intern on an independent film called "Ceremony". I color sorted ties, checked in beautiful wardrobe

The Halloween costumes that I made this year turned out better than I had anticipated! That's what made my Halloween so great--and the fact that I didn't have to fight the Village Halloween Parade and subway chaos this year. Instead of going to the Village Parade, my friends and I decided to volunteer for the Halloween celebration at Prospect Park. We saw so many cute children and parents dressed

It makes me so happy that the warmth came back, even if it is only for a week. I'm glad it came back to say goodbye, and fade out as a new chilly breeze comes in.Poetic, I know. That's all I've got.Anyhow, on one of the colder days last week, I decided to wear the new jumper that my mother made me. I picked out the fabric at mood. When my mother came to visit last Thanksgiving, I circled a few

I haven't been blogging as frequently as I should at this point in time, and its not because I don't have time. I simply don't have anyone to help me take photos of my outfits and activities. I've been busy with two Halloween costumes and I remember wearing lots of cute outfits in the past 2 weeks. I'm so lame that didn't get pictures to post. Hopefully I will be back to normal by next week.I

BEWARE: All of you designers out there are going to cringe at what I am about to show you. You may even throw up in your mouth a little.I had a few ideas for my Halloween costume (I'm going to be a fairy), so I tried making a few designs so I could take it to the fabric store and decide what I wanted. I took and introductory art and design class (can't you tell?), but it didn't seen to help any.

So, I'm still without a camera, but I do have a photo to share with you. I had made a summer skirt for Lindsay months ago, but there were some technical difficulties, and I did not receive the photo until last week. Here is Lindsay, modeling her skirt. Didn't she do a great job picking out the fabric?Today is Wednesday, and I am now trying to dedicate my Wednesdays to sewing. I was actually

Here's just a heads up that I changed my Blog name from "Catherine G" to "Broken Style" (still the same author and address). After looking at all of my past outfits, I realized that "Broken Style" (a play on "Broke in Style") would be most appropriate. Most, if not all, of my pieces come from some sort of second-hand, off-price, or discount store for budget consumers (yes, I actually find a thing

...my camera is broken. Here is a picture of it.It keeps shutting on and off, on and off. When I turn it off it makes clicky noises while it flashes its lights. I don't know what to do. I don't want to buy another point and shoot, you know? I would like to invest in an SLR, but I don't really have that kind of money to invest! Perhaps eBay can help me out.My site may be down for a little while

I've only been back a week, but it seems like I never left! I've been busy switching my classes around, running around to the various departments at school, and cramming in all the fun that I can before I get slammed with homework. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to post my outfits and adventures (I can't post my sewing projects because my serger hasn't arrived in the mail yet!).Lindsay and I

When I was little, I used to plan my best outfit for the first day of school (actually, everyday)...and I still do. I was looking forward to warm weather, but the wind brought a little chill to the air that forced me to wear a sweater (I hope you know how much I hate having to find a summer sweater to match my summer dress at the last minute).I'm at fashion school in New York City, studying for

It gets me every time. When I come back home from college, I usually take some time to go through my closet and get rid of old clothes and stuff. Every single time, I find a yellow shoebox and open it up, and I am shocked to find a severed baby doll staring at me. I started the project in high school, but never got around to finishing it. I had to get it done this summer. The sight was was just

I bought this shirt a while ago, and couldn't wait to start cutting. I just loved the blue and purple tie-dye and the fish graphic on the front. It was originally a women's 2XL, so I took in the sides and shortened the sleeves. I was hoping to make a dress, but it wasn't quite long enough. I was going to to the movies with a few friends, so I added a skirt and a belt to make an outfit.Fits pretty

So, it all started with a party invitation. As a fashion student, the first thing I thought about was what I was going to wear. Keiko told me to keep practicing my sewing, so I decided to make a denim skirt. I picked up a pattern and fabric and got to work. I'm not at the level to alter patterns yet, and the skirt didn't end up fitting me. However, it did fit my younger, but much taller sister.

Work work work. It seems like this summer is going to be all work and no play. I'm working 50 hours a week, and I haven't had any time to put any outfits together for the summer. The only outfit I've been wearing is my Photopass costume... I hope nobody recognizes me... However, with a Saturday off, I was able to make this adorable bag. I got the fabric from Kashi's some time ago and I picked up

I wanted to share with you a skirt that I made in May! My lovely friend Christina just sent me pictures of the outfit she put together. I also made the same style skirt in a brown jersey. It is a simple rectangle skirt with an elastic waistband. Christina really made it her own with the belt and high heels! Way to go, Christina! You look awesome!Here is a close-up of the print.

What an eventful and uneventful week. On my first day back, I attended my sister's high school graduation. It actually wasn't boring like I thought it was going to be. It was a good time. On that same day, I took my family to the airport so THEY could get to Indiana for my brother's graduation form Notre Dame. Well, you know what? They didn't get to go to Gatorland...I was debating whether to

Time is running out as I am simultaneously trying to pack all of my belongings to ship home (Yay! Florida!) and studying for my finals this week. It's been hectic, and I think all of the packing and boxes are driving me a little crazy, don't you think?Among the chaos, I have been able to do a little sewing.

I'm a bit late on this post. I've been busy sewing, preparing for the end of the school year, and enjoying the city as much as I can before I leave in two weeks.Here is my outfit that I wore on Tuesday. Lindsay and I went to the fabric store and she picked out fabric for me to make her some summer skirts. I also picked up fabric for bows! (I am always talking about bows...)"I don't have any

I don't think I could have started this weekend any better. Because the weather was so beautiful, Lindsay and I planned a picnic in Central Park today.I had nothing to wear...I was NOT about to wear jeans to the park on such a warm day...So, I whipped up a skirt in a few hours, and I did it all by myself! I used the serger and the sewing machine in the basement (I finally got it working!). The

Oh yeah, I also added some awesome red tabs on the turned-up sleeves.I made this shirt for my sister's birthday, and I sent my sister a bunch of bows to give to her friends, but I think she kept quite a few for

Long story short, I didn't find any that I liked, so I just wore my dumb black flats for the day.Keiko and I met up at the fabric store. Two hours = to large bags of fabric = 1 large bag of fabric/hr. What I love about fabric is being able to look at

I didn't have a single care in the world today. I walked through the rain to the Union Square Greenmarket and back, and I wasn't a bit unhappy. In fact, I took a little detour through Greenwich Village.I picked up a lot of food for tomorrow's Easter celebration; all from local farmers : )Someone walking their dog took my picture for me after I gave him a plastic bag to clean up after his dog.

It's been a very productive Spring Break. I've completed 3 projects, picked up materials for 4 more, and am currently working on one. The projects I finished were gifts to friends, so it will be a few days before I can get a picture of them modeling their new pieces.Since I haven't reconstructed anything for myself yet, I picked up 2 men's plaid, button-downs and two huge t-shirts when I

Since it was cold and rainy, and I didn't have anyone to take my picture before heading off for my internship, I will leave you today with a picture of me at World Pillow Fight Day. Surprisingly, I was actually trying to smile, but somebody just clobbered me in the head with a pillow and I had just inhaled a bunch of feathers into my nose and mouth.World Pillow Fight Day: Wall Street, NYCI didn't

I helped out with my first photo shoot today! Keiko modeled her quirky looks for Bust Magazine's June/July issue in a fantastic Fifth Ave. apartment. We also got to prance around outside for a while in the beautiful weather. Well, I pranced, and Keiko did her best. I must say, I am very impressed at all of the movement (jumping, walking up steps, skipping...) Keiko did in her cute, but

It was a tough Friday. I got myself down to the basement sewing machine with all of my supplies (Yes! I had them all this time!). I was able to thread the machine, install the presser foot, needle, and bobbin. I had trouble with the tension, though I didn't believe it when my fashion design friend warned me that the tension on the basement machine was all messed up. Then, the thread would skip

The Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey Circus came to the city last night. My two friends and I went to see the elephants and ponies walk down 34th after emerging from the Queens Midtown Tunnel. The experience sent chills to our toes and fingers (32 degrees!) and a fun memory with friends.One of my friends insisted on dressing like a clown. Here we are: The clowns, wearing the bow headbands that I

I looked outside my window on Friday, and the only feeling that came over me was disappointment. Sigh. I cannot believe that it was snowing! It's the first day of Spring for crying out loud. It's not like I didn't have plans. My friend and I were planning to go to the park and write in our journals. Ever since starting this blog, I've been writing less and less in my journal, and I have so much

I love running errands. Sounds crazy, right? I don't know why, but I love rushing around picking things up, selecting items, and visiting new places. Since Keiko is down in sunny Florida (I am so jealous!), I decided to take an exciting walk in the garment district to find some items for my independent sewing projects. Usually, I wear my boots for the trek to Brooklyn, but the short walk to 38th

I was so excited today as I rang the buzzer to Keiko's place. It's been a while since I stopped in to work, and I'm glad that Keiko is feeling much better. Right away, she showed me a few basic things on Photoshop, so I hope to expand my skills in that area. I don't have Photoshop on my computer, so I have to play around on the school computers during the week.Cardigan: MadewellBlack Shirt:

I'm giving one more work day for Keiko to recover. That doesn't mean I didn't have work to do. It just means I couldn't go visit. What's the first thing I always have to do for my internship? Oh yeah, look cute. I am still trying to live with my dull winter wardrobe, since all of my brighter weather clothes at at home in Florida. Here I am!Anyway, I decided to go thrift shopping to see if I could

What do you do on a sick day if you are not sick? Make headband bows of course! I couldn't go into work today because Keiko was sick. So, I made a few headband bows before heading downtown to Wild Ginger for lunch. My friend and I absolutely love that place. It is so calm and peaceful, and we could sit there all day and sip tea. For my internship class, I have an assignment to wrote a paper

It was a busy day today with Keiko! I spent the past weekend making some headbands, but I took them today to fix them on the sewing machine. You see, I had made lots of little errors with the headbands because I was watching a movie..."Philadelphia Story" is simply great because of Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and James Stewart. When they get thrown together into one movie, I simply don't know

Today, Keiko sent me on an errand to pick up some fabulous trims for headbands in the garment district. I really enjoy looking at trims, buttons, and fabric because my imagination can wander. "What can I make with this?" I love the idea of making something with my own hands. It makes the piece unique and special because of the love that was placed into every inch of making it. I'm a sucker for

Today was designated to making accessories, headbands specifically. I sewed bows and flowers, flowers and bows. I love what I get to to do at my internship. It's what I would want to do on my day off...create something. When I'm at home in Florida, I like to keep myself busy with craft projects. I love to work on the floor where I can spread all of my material out around me. I'd make a huge mess.

I must admit, I am pretty amazed. Today, Keiko showed me how to make a shirt. She cut out the pieces and sewed it all together in about 30 minutes. I took 3 hours, but that is definitely okay. It was my first ever garment! I still have a lot of practice ahead of me. Keiko had me make a shirt with a big shoulder bow and a cowl neck. I thought that I did a pretty good job for my first time. A few

The day passed by so quickly in Brooklyn today! I think it was all the time that I spent on the computer. I typed some e-mails and searched some blogs, and I found it a good use of my time because I had to figure out how to use a MAC. I'm a PC person, so every time I try to use a MAC, I go crazy. However, this was a calm day. I wasn't expected to work Photoshop or anything.It is valuable to know

I need to stop wearing black. Keiko's pets, Miku, Lacey, and Vester are just so adorable, that I can't help but set them right up on my lap and pet them until they fall asleep. I always forget that it isn't such a good idea until it is too late, and my stockings and dress are detailed with white fur. I figure that they can't change their coats, so maybe I should change mine. It will take a little

4 is the magic number today because today I completed 4 bow headbands for Keiko at my internship with Postlapsaria. That was at the end of the day. Before the fun sewing began, we packaged orders for customers. I still find it amazing that businesses can complete transactions with customers over the internet in other parts of the world. We were filling out orders for places like Germany, Canada,

It is really important to have your own blog. That was the ablsolutely first thing that I learned at my internship with Keiko Lynn at Postlapsaria. I've never actually blogged before, and to tell you the truth, I'm a little nervous. People are going to see this! However, I understand that this is an important part of marketing, communicating, and figuing out who I am and where I want to go in
