Current Obsession

In addition to all the lovely fall fashions this season.. 
the winner of my Latest and Greatest Object of Affection award goes to...




MARC JACOB'S "MARC BY MARC JACOBS" WATCH COLLECTION!

For those of you that know me, this shouldn't come to a surprise at all! I've been raving about these pieces for the past few months and I really can't get enough of these simple, yet perfectly constructed watches! Each one is made from stainless steel, while some watches also include a genuine leather band for comfortable wear, and lasting style. The price of this collection ranges between a mere $150 up to $275.. which I really believe is a bargain for this timeless piece you can wear over and over and over again. Grab your nearest pen and paper, because this watch is definitely something you'll want to include on your christmas list! 
Watches are sold at MarcJacobs.com, Macys, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Dillards, and Saks Fifth Avenue, (basically all your finest retailers)

Today's Medium is...

Charcoal!

Probably one of my favorite mediums to use when drawing.. charcoal is god's tool for blending.. enough said. Haha, it's probably an easier medium to use for those of you beginners interested in art.. it is also non permanent, and easy to obliterate mistakes with an eraser. (unlike like permanent markers, and ink) And of course it is super messy, but hey! that's what art is all about! creating something wonderful while getting down and dirty :P

(P.s  The feet on my drawing turned out horribly duck-like, and I thought I'd point that I am very well aware of this. Thank you)

So, Who Am I?

Welp. This is probably my second or third attempt at creating a blog I can actually keep up with, but I can promise you THIS will the blog I WILL keep up with! Audacitiés is my personal style mixed with inspiration blog, which will include random posts about art, music, fashion, and culture... OH! AND food and shoes... because they are my two absolute favorite things... but yeah I basically plan on posting anything my little heart desires, so I hope you find me interesting and worth the follow!


Hmmm so let's get into the background basics.. I'm a poor high school senior, soon to graduate and move onto art school in Brooklyn, New York. (hence me being poor...) I live for clothes, catchy beats, delicious food, and late friday nights. I spend every single penny I earn on my wardrobe, accessories, and makeup... which is pretty awful, but I really can't help myself. 


I'm going to art school for fashion design, but that doesn't mean I want to be the next Alexander McQueen. I actually want to be more of an entrepreneur. I want to have my own clothing line, work for a magazine, be a photographer, host fashion shows, and write my own novels, on top of owning my own boutique. Sounds like a stretch right? Yeah, don't worry, I've heard it all before.. doesn't mean I'll stop trying.


I currently work at Marshalls, (which is a really shitty job by the way) but it's helped me learn all the well known and not so well known names and brands very quickly. (It's also helped me get pretty good discounts, which I can't complain about) But anyways, I plan on quitting very soon and moving to work at a less shitter job. I also have to quit soon because my portfolio is STILL NOT FINISHED, and I start college in less than six months. Yupp.. I'm fucked... I know.


So yeah.. did I mention I'm broke? Yeah, I believe I did.. but let me repeat myself.. I broke. Capital B R O K E. So now you're probably wondering how I got all my clothes, makeup and accessories right? Well... when I use to have a lot of money, I spent it all on those three things, and I didn't buy the cheap shit.. I went for the gold. Well, now everything I buy is insanely discounted, from a discounted retail store (Like Marshalls, TJMaxx, Century 21) or thrifted and vintage. 


With everything said, I will try my hardest to blog as often as I can, but with my shitty job, working on my portfolio, and school I can't promise too much. No worries though, if I manage to squeeze in a social life, then there will be plenty of time for audacitiés, since I cause them all the time anyways! Haha!
