HIATUS

Please excuse my little hiatus. The past three months have been hectic as hell. Let me catch you up on what's been going on in my life. Ready? 

As you know I finished my Merchandise Marketing program at FIDM in March, and I landed my social media marketing internship with 2020AVE soon after. My family flew down for my graduation at the end of June, and that lead to a mini Vegas getaway and some family fun at Universal Studios. My boyfriend and I just celebrated our 7 year anniversary on July 6th so we took a spontaneous road trip to San Francisco for a couple of days. A week later I started my Business Management program at FIDM. Currently I'm wrapping up my internship at 2020AVE, and I'm looking for another one (a paid internship to be exact).  I've just been so preoccupied lately, but I'm coming back. Don't sleep on me just yet.

If I ever go MIA again, you can definitely catch me posting on the gram.

FIDM DEBUT 2016

Forever 21 Jacket + Bodysuit + Pencil Skirt, Gojane Heels, Zara Bag, Etsy Velvet Choker

Debut 2016 was nothing short of amazing. I've attended a total of 3 Debut shows now. The first time I saw it was when I got accepted into FIDM two years ago. The second time around I was a student, and this time I watched it as a graduate. I totally recommend everyone who loves fashion to attend at least one show. It's an inspiration to watch all the talented designers collections. I can't even begin to imagine how hard they worked to create such beautiful lines.

Let's be honest... (FIDM students can relate) This school is no joke. The past two years have been the most stressful experience of my life, but attending FIDM is the best decision I've ever made. Congrats to all the designers! Your collections were gorgeous. Also, a big congratulations to all the FIDM graduates. We did it!!!

One degree down and another one to go. Wish me the best of luck on getting into the next program.

2016

It's officially 2016! You know what that means... Today is the first blank page of a 365 page book. I can't help but feel incredibly blessed thinking about the past year. I'm looking forward to another year filled with so much love, adventures, and accomplishments.

It's kinda mandatory for a new year to come with new goals. I've decided to not take my resolutions too seriously this year. The older I get the more I realize that life's too short to be so serious. 2016, I'm ready for anything you throw my way!

1. PUT DOWN THE PHONE - I want to live in the moment. Whether it be at a restaurant or hanging out with friends/family, I WANT TO BE PRESENT. Social media can wait. That tweet or Instagram post isn't that important. Give attention to your love ones and hopefully it'll be reciprocated. 
2. NO MORE MAN BUN - My boyfriend's man bun has to go. He had it for all of 2015 and it's become my mission to get him to cut it off completely. Wish me luck!
3. GET OVER IT - I need to stop holding these grudges I've had since forever. I'm such a stubborn person and it's time for me to grow up and get over it. I have bigger fish to fry, and thinking about unimportant things of the past is just a waste of time and energy. Good vibes only for the new year. 
4. COLOR + PATTERN - This one might be my biggest challenge. I want to incorporate more colors and patterns into my wardrobe. Black is beautiful, but a little bold bravery can't hurt. 

UNLUCKY LABOR DAY

You know September is in full swing when you pick up your ten pound copy of Vogue magazine. Unlucky for me, I'm spending this gorgeous Labor day weekend bed ridden. All I have to keep me company is Queen B, Labor day online sales, and re-runs of The Rich Kids of Beverly Hills. I hope everyone else is having a fulfilled couple of days. I'm looking forward to a speedy recovery, the end of my summer quarter at FIDM, and my two week vacation. Mexico here I come... (:
