Months/Years? Feels that way I know...


I cannot exemplify enough how sorry I have been this summer and poorly updating this for the last couple of months!  It has been a long and crazy summer, however, that does not excuse me from my poor updates!  Here is what has been happening:

I was interviewed for nbc40 news at my clothing store so check it out :)


Here are my two big and favorite purchases at my store, Colette boutique, this summer:
Left: Flying Tomato Versace patterned dress (absolutely to die for) and even better on Right: Jeffrey Campbell Floral Daisy Litas  

They both just warm my heart!  Yes, im that obsessed with both of them.  I made several other purchases at my store this summer in which i will post for fall ;)  Anyway, thats all i have time for today fashionistas. I have to work work work!  I promise to keep updating from now on though, months at a time is inexcusable.  In the meantime, keep checking me out.  I greatly appreciate all views, comments, and followers

It's spring & the month countdown to summer starts now...


Im sorry bloggers, but it's been crazy!!
Very, very crazy.
But...there is one month left of the semester.  And today is a special occasion because its 75 degrees in Philadelphia, so I knew I had to blog my spring/summer essentials today!  
Keeping it simple and light with a Free People crop top, Urban Outfitters tribal pattern skirt, and plain black skinny belt.  Oh, and my Doc's ..which i FINALLY broke in after a month.

As for the past month...this is whats been happening:
Teen Vogue sent me the box of goodies that I got to share with all my friends!  They sent all kinds of snacks, bags, totes, crafts, supplies, movies, CD's, coupons, and much much more.  I totally forgot to take some more awesome pictures, but needless to say, it was fun getting to share this experience with all my girlfriends :)

My other project?  This clutch purse for my sewing/ prototyping class.  I had a lot more fun with this thing then the toddler dress we started with.  Now..just our final project...a camp shirt.

SO...i figured its been a while since I posted some fashion pics.  A lot of these are spring/summer looks so I figured they would be beneficial since we can officially start the countdown here.
Classical.

              Love this one piece suit
Zuhair Murad Spring 2013...gorg
               Love this for summer in the city :)

Spring Break.. Around The Corner?


Honestly,
Where does time go?

Spring break starts Friday, and I am going...
no where. 
Gotta save that $dough$ for Rome....luckily I get to work at home this year and I can honestly say I am excited to get back for a little.
Since I am not going on any lavish trip this year, I decided to spend my money on a pair of Doc Martens.  Literally the HARDEST things to break in, but hey, pain is beauty right?

As for my Daily Fashion Pics, I unfortunately have not had the time to do some searching to show.  Instead, I have had midterms and for my Prototyping class, designed and sewn a 3T toddler dress...yes a toddler dress.  Never having to sew in my life, this took up a majority of my last three weeks.  Well, what do you think of the final product?
Honestly, blood, sweat, and tears over this thing!

Also, for my computer aided design class, we had to design six mood boards that inspired us.  I chose places of course, but the one I decided to print here, came out pretty awesome.  Even though this isnt entirely related to fashion, I thought I would share with you all anyway :)
Not bad, ehh?


Sorry this is a short entry ladies, I swear next week I will have more time since I will be on break.  Also, the countdown to It Girls Night In is in effect and takes place March 15th.  I am so excited to host a party celebrating Teen Vogue heeheh.

Till then
xxoxo

Too Long My Ladies




~~Hello Everyone~~

My apologies for the lack of updating these last few weeks!  This semester has just been crazy crazy crazy and here we are already in February.  Honestly, where does the time go when you get older?  So this past weekend was fun here at school, celebrating Mardi Gras and what not.  
I was really feeling the peplum this weekend, this faux leather coral top was $22.50 at Forever 21.  Couldn't go wrong with it really.
On an even better note, last week I got a letter from Teen Vogue asking me to host an IT GIRLS NIGHT IN on March 15th!

Now to just get these photo release forms in!  I researched the Web and found some pics of the event (since I haven't really had a chance to look into it with my schedule).


So I am very excited about this!  They send you a bunch of products for yourself and your friends, and honestly, who doesn't love a party?  Hopefully all goes well!  And thanks for reading babes, keep tuned for some awesome pics to follow!

14 degrees out should be an illegal temperature

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR**
Sorry for the gaps of posts lately everyone, its been BEYOND freezing and I haven't been feeling my very best.  Besides this insane weather, I have been keeping busy with classes, extracurriculars, and my new internship.  Besides all that, our assignment for my Computer Aided Design class was to come up with a collage of pictures that inspired us.  Being new to Photoshop, I of course incorporated some vintage/feminine photos I found all off of Tumblr (honestly such a great website).  Here is the final product!
So this past weekend was Martin Luther King Day and we had a nice, long and relaxing weekend and I was able to do a little what I do best and SHOP.  Here's the latest additions.

I usually don't spend a fortune on makeup but these two products were amazing and I got to try them before I bought them.  I got the MAC Mineralize Charged Water Gel to moisturize my dry skin.  Then I played up some color with a coral lipstick that stayed on my lips throughout the entire night out!  These two were definitely worth the buy.

Ugh...Urban Outfitters always gets me.  Especially when they have a 50% off sale items.  This little peplum cost me $14.99 when it was originally $69.  Where will I wear it?  Still have to figure that out.

Ahhh, new semester is here


Well fashionistas..
Christmas and New Years are in the past and now the new semester is here already..
Am I ready for it?  Not quite, but classes have started and today is a big day.  It's my first official day to train as an intern at Paula Hian Designs in Manayunk.  A little bit nervous, I am ready to learn all there is to know at this exclusive boutique!  Wish me luck!





What am I wearing today?
Free People faded green/grey dress, Opaque tights, Urban Outfitter leg warmers, and Steve Madden boots.


I used this amazing, awesome palette for my eyeshadows that I got from my Aunt for Christmas.  The colors are insane!

I cannot believe it is 2013.  I know its been a while since my last post, I apologize loves.  I have been so busy over this break, today was the first time I actually thought about how long it's been since my last post!  But today was special because a good childhood friend of mine took the time to take legitimate photos for my blog (instead of using just my computer webcam).  Now I am definitely no model but I must say these turned out pretty phenomenal.  Thank you Kerileigh, you are amazing!  Check them out chickas!








 What am I wearing in these pics?  Jack by BBDakota Green Olive Dress, nude fishnets, MNCA brown mink poncho, Steve Madden black pumps

Searching threw my clothes in my closet...


Bags galore!




I have way too many fashion magazines...

Hope you enjoyed them!
