WHO am I obsessed with?

Donald Glover AKA Childish Gambino.

So many reasons to love this man. Im so busy right now I looked at my blog (after learning that google is going to get rid of GoogleFriend Connect, more on that soon; but you can read about it here) and I saw I haven't blogged in a while! I have nothing to talk about that's interesting except the fact I bought Childish Gambino Camp and know all the words already!

I think its bc I too am nerdy/artsy, hustle, and struggle with the not black enough complex. ANYWAY, All you have to do is watch this:

Decor and Design

One thing you may not know about me is that I am also in love with interior designing. Its not something I would pick as a career just because the housing market is horrible and I just don't think it's something I could really find a job in (said the girl who studies fashion). I really like it, but I have really creative and mod taste, I know that I could not adapt to what someone else wanted. But anyway, I saw these spaces and definitely need to fit some elements into the facelift I'm giving my room when I move back to Houston in December( and other ideas when I move for real.) I'm kind of basing my color story off of my Missoni for target box.
These are different Tory Burch selling spaces, I love her style! Everytime I see a space from her I feel like I could transfer myself there and feel soooo at home. Shes amaze.




And these last ones are from the L.A. Tastemaker Jacquie Getty


I have 2 inspiration boards in my room currently and I just love the idea of keeping one. Working in a field that revolves around creativity it's pretty much essential. I love how big this one is! But I don't have any personal photos on mine... lol.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING :)

A Very Hilfiger Christmas

I definitely dropped Tommy Hilfiger off of my radar and today I saw they are making a TV return. I didn't really care, but it actually looks really cool. Its an ad campaign called "Holiday Par-tay." I think its cute. It starts airing tomorrow so I will be looking out for it.

I could probably fit in today with my DIY cold-shoulder top.

Yay for going home for thanksgiving :) Yay for food and relaxing... well, kind of relaxing. Semester is almost over, how cray is that? My internship is about to start, holy cow.And I'm behind on x-mas shopping -____-  Oh well, yay for the holidays, I love xmas :)

24k

So I came across this new elf collection that is limited edition called 24k!
I am not really a big makeup person, I own 2 elf palates (and like them a lot). Are they as good as Mac? NO, BUT Its good every day type of make up, I have a few paint pots from MAC that a friend gave me.They are not similar at all.ELF is more light to medium coverage, appropriate for daytime. Mac is full coverage and HIGHLY pigmented. For the price, ELF is not horrible, and I recommend darker colored shadows, the eyelash curler, the eyelid primer and studio brushes. DO NOT BUY any of the light colored shadows (they look flaky and chalky) or mascara. The mascara is nice at first, but flakes off during the day.
With any pencils and eye shadow use the eyelid primer, trust me. I have both UDPP(Urban  and ELF and they work the same. Elf has a finish that you can see (on my skin) but it really hold my eyeshadow (of any brand) well. The UDPP is clear but WAY more expensive. I only use UDPP for special occasions or particularly humid days.

Not All Who Wander Are Lost

Anyone out there looking for a dress? Holidays, prom, homecoming, wedding guest?

Dress sent to me from promgirl.net//forever21 leggings// Jessica Simpson Shoes

SO as life is falling together the days are getting busier. You would think things would wind down, but no. But its ok. Life is a adventure.(oh and please excuse my lack of facial expressions. I am dead tired. Never going to sleep until I'm dead... pretty much.)

MARC JACOBS, fashion Victim.

SO there is a rumor that the entire Marc Jacobs Spring Collection was stolen. I found out last night BUT on the WSJ, they are claiming that is an elaborate publicity stunt and in fact the pieces are in NYC as we speak.

“Officials at Marc Jacobs declined comment but a person familiar with the situation told Heard on the Runway that it’s untrue that the entire collection was stolen. The runway looks are here in New York, this person said.”

Regardless of whatever really happened, the team did send out this statement in a email, which I guess is why everyone started talking about this to begin with:

"Dear all," the email woefully began. "The Marc Jacobs PR team is sorry to inform you that our press day tomorrow in the Marc Jacobs store [in London] is cancelled, due to the theft of the spring/summer 2012 collections during its transfer from Paris."

Seriously, first of all... It someone fabulous because they were all sample sized.... Second it better not be on its way to a counterfeiter, which is the general consensus in the fashion world right now. WTF. Im legit angry that someone decided to steal the entire collection. Its taking someones work, money, BABIES.46 looks. GONE.

 

UPDATE: WWD is reporting that “it is understood that thieves made off with some ready-to-wear and accessories, but not the entire assortment from Jacobs’ various collections, which include his main line Marc by Marc Jacobs. Jacobs is said to have duplicates for many of the looks.”

Dreams Come True.

What season is it? Yea... don't care if I still like neons and mixed prints.

 

So I found the most amazing internship ever and Im super elated! Its such a stress off my shoulders and I'm doing everything I love. Not just visual or styling, but also social media, working on fashion shows, stuff for a local t.v. show and even designing. LIKE REAL DEAL STUFF. Not for fun, not just for class, real deal type stuff. Its such a small (but awesome) team, my creativity is able to be shown and implemented.

22x22

My birthday is in exactly one month! Holy cow. I'll be 22. WHAT? yea I know. I don't believe it either. So what do I want? besides already getting my internship, moving back to Houston, and getting closer to graduation, I want:

Thats it. And I probably wont get it Lol. Thats my life. Sad, sad, Life.

Going Diamond

Her name is Kay, she has serious dope boy fresh style.

She has a new song out called "Going Diamond" ..... IT FEATURES KURTIS BLOW!!!!! How amazing can you get?
  Going Diamond (feat. Kurtis Blow) - KAY by MY.NAME.IS.KAY
Its one of those songs you play getting dressed or driving in the car, I loves Kay LOL. All the way back to the song "My name is Kay." Oh, remember my Cherry Tree Records bias? They strike again, I had no clue (again) she was signed to Cherry Tree too, so basically I like pretty much everyone on their label.
She posts pictures every day (almost) on her tumblr:

Nail Game On Point.

How dope is this mic stand?

I Love A Great Stack!

You can check out more pics on her tumblr: http://www.mynameiskay.com

Hana Shine Shield Review!

SO you may already know Hana from having the best blow dryer, selling chi straighteners, or having this awesome Shine Shield. Oh you don't? Well now you do!

Misikko sent me this shine shield to try in my hair! I thought it would be a small sample bottle that was trial sized, but no they sent a full size sample, I guess they knew I
A) have lots of hair or
B) would like it and need the full sized sample.

OOTD + Macaroon goodness!

I had an interview today, this is what I wore:

Forever21 Blazer//Dotted Swiss Daniel Rainn top from Marshalls//random skirt from garage sale//fossil watch

I love being able to work in fashion, I can look cool at interviews and have them say they like my style :) Yes that happened today. I got good news, they said they really liked me and I have to go back for a second interview. The bad news is that the second interview is in 2 weeks -____-IDK what to do. I want to wait it out because I really like that company and I think it would be a great opportunity, but also I don't want to get rejected and have to scramble to look for another position.

BUT IN OTHER HAPPIER NEWS, I FINALLY TRIED MACAROONS!

Scene and Heard- Amondre Gray

So I guess my high school just bred a few talented hopefuls, Amondre is nothing short of that. We met in our TV production class and his penchant for Fashion was unrivaled. Besides having fashion knowledge, he had an interest in modeling, and here we are almost 6 years later, and homie is destined for greatness! He took time to do this interview for me, so get acquainted with him! He's going to be huge one day, I know it.

Tell me little about yourself?
I’m 19. Born and raised in Houston. Signed to Page.713 
 
Do you have a cool story about how you got discovered?
I wish! I wasn’t discovered in mall or anything like that. At 15 I went into an open call at my agency. They told me they were concerned about my height at the time but were willing to take a chance on me. So here we are 4 years later and taller.
 
What started your interest in fashion? I would flip through magazines and always wanted to either be on the cover or in the pages. I later started to learn the names of designers and actually pay attention to the art and design of clothes. One of my friends who is also a model tells me I know too much for a male model about the industry but I guess that's a good thing. 

 
What is one of the coolest shows or shoots you have done so far?
The coolest thing I’ve done so far was neither a shoot or show. It was meeting with COACD (Douglas Perrett) and being featured on their website as one of their favorites. It was pretty major because every top model has been featured on their website. Douglas is also an awesome guy. I got to hangout with him a bit and he gave me some really great advice about my career. 
[Ahh I follow COACD on twitter, they are awesome!]


Is there anyone that you would die if you model for them, Like Uncle Karl LOL?
Tom Ford, Christopher Bailey (Burberry) or Ricardo Tisci (Givenchy). 
 
What is something you learned working in the industry that might be surprising?

It’s 10% looks and 90% personality. Looks only get you in the door. The rest is how well you can sell yourself to a client.

 
Are you working on anything special currently?
I’m planning on moving to New York by the summer. Then hopefully start looking into major markets (London, Paris, Milan, etc.) As far as jobs go I never know. Bookings sometimes happen 24 hours in advance. I hate never knowing what's next.

Do you have any advice for anyone who wants to break into the modeling industry?

Never give up. You're going to get a million no's before you receive one yes. It won't happen overnight but once you land something big your career will take off.

Indivisible Bracelet from Starbucks

Besides a good cause, this bracelet would make and amazing addition to my stack :)Starbucks run? I think so.

Starbucks has partnered with Opportunity Finance Network, a group of community-lending financial institutions, to launch “Create Jobs for U.S.A.,” a fund to help generate and sustain jobs in underserved communities nationwide. 

In addition to $5 million in seed money from the Starbucks Foundation, the fund will also solicit donations at company-operated Starbucks stores and online at www.createjobsforusa.org. 

As a thank you, donors who give $5 or more will receive a red, white, and blue wristband with the word “Indivisible” stamped on a metal charm. 

All wristbands are handmade in the United States from U.S.-manufactured components, and 100 percent of proceeds will go to OFN to provide loans to community businesses across the country.

Tory Burch posted this one this morning! I die at her stack.

Iggy Azalea, My World.

Haha, Iggy Azalea... Another white girl rapper? To some yes, she's a different vibe than Kreayshawn. LESS ANNOYING. I think I like her.Oh, she's from AUSTRALIA.

Chunky In the Winter

 

Even though it doesn't feel like winter I am rebelling and already putting my chunky knits in my closet styled and ready to wear.School is basically over in a month, say what? That's cray. Can I stop wearing tank tops and shorts soon? I think it's odd. Still busy trying to get my life together... Does anyone else like these knits as much as I do?  The last 2 photos are mine. I'm ready to wear them.
