Project Red Dress...

Hello again!! It’s been a while but I have an important thing to share! Recently I was chosen to participate in a competition called Project Red Dress. This is a competition that is a spoof of Project Runway and is a charity event for the American Red Cross. Every Saturday in January, we are to meet for 6 and 5 hour sessions. It is during this time, a total of 16 hours, that we have to make...

Ten Questions for Project Runway →

I am a big fan of Project Runway (although I found out some disappointing things I still watch it every week!) so I thought I would share this with everyone. If you don’t understand them you should watch it! 1. Excuse me, how many curlers does Laura need every morning? Last time I checked, she’s not rocking Kim Kardashian’s waves or anything. 2. Don’t Anya’s ears hurt from wearing those...

Nordstrom Rack Day.

Today for the Nordstrom Internship we went to work at the Rack of our choice. I chose to go to store 15, Golde Creek Plaza Rack! It was such an amazing day! The people there are so great, kind, and fun! They love their job for all the right reasons. When we first got there the store manager Stella Porter had made us coffee and gotten us donuts :) She was so sweet! Then I started in the shoe...

Moving.

In exactly 22 days I will be just like this girl! Moving out of one home and hopefully into a new one. I am going to miss my girls so much and I honestly wish I could stay and never leave! The house I am in now is amazing and soo great that anything that I see now sucks! Let’s just hope everything works out okay. xox tarynmichelle

Home Alone...

..means time to get things done and pretend I’m not scared! Both of my roomies have gone off on their amazing summer adventures while I have to stay behind and be all grown up and go to work :/ Sometimes this is not fun, but on my day off I actually did a lot! I woke up and went riding and then can back showered, then started laundry and cleaning my room. Then there was the stack of...

Draping for Apparel Design

Below are pictures of my final project for my apparel draping class that was last Spring. This was such a hard thing to do and I found myself in the sewing lab by myself at times until 4 or 5 in the morning! But in the end it was so much fun and such an accomplishment. The inspiration for the gown was the Japanese Cherry Blossoms in Washington D.C. I ended up getting a 100% on this project and...

Layer your day

LAYERS by Taryn Sytsma featuring golden jewelry For this summer I have been in love with layers! Especially since I never know what the weather will be like in Seattle these days. For this look I was inspired by the boho/nautical themes. I layered a boxy crop top over a racer back black and white stripped maxi and put some bright and fun sandals with it. I did a nautical themed CHANEL earring...

Here comes the sun!

Finally the sun has been making an appearance! That means all the fabulous shorts and flowy sheer tops get to come out from the bottom of my closet. I live for the days that I have off from work and the sun is shinning. On the next day this happens I have a plan to go stand-up paddle boarding in Lake Washington or Lake Union ad then stroll the sidewalks of University Village! Hope you all...

30 of the Gloomiest Days Ever

It has been such an incredible summer so far! I have absolutely loved living with my girls Maddie and Amanda and there are only 30 days left :( I can honestly say that I am not ready to leave these ladies or the house, that has become my home for the summer. I have been so busy with work and school that I haven’t even really been able to fully enjoy and bask in the greatness that this house...

Dior, Lanvin, Marni, Dolce and Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Oscar de la...
