Dynamic Duo

So a few weeks ago I won Jasmine from Transient Withdrawal's bow giveaway and she thought it'd be fun if we used the idea from the Delightful Dozen and do a "Dynamic Duo"! :) We both styled the same bow with our own interpretations. How adorable is Jasmine??? Like she said on her blog, we really are like sisters separated at birth. She is one of the sweetest girls I ever met and I'm angry I didn't get to meet up with her when she was in NYC for the Chictopia10 Conference! One day we'll meet, I promise! I'll set aside a whole WEEK so we can talk and talk and talk until we can't no more. :)

on jasmine: (bow forever 21, hairband gift from reader, jacket urban outfitters, top urban outfitters, shorts old navy, tights walmart, saddle shoes urban outfitters)

on me: (bow forever 21 (from jasmine), vest urban renewal, white top forever 21, blue tank urban outfitters, jeans forever 21, shoes jessica simpson)

I love how Jasmine decided to turn her bow pin in to a headband! It's genius. :) And if you guys followed my blog all the way back when I first started (I think my second post) you'll recognize this blue vest from Urban Renewal with the crazy ass horses on the back. My friends still think it's ridiculous but at least my hair is growing long enough to cover them up partially. I secretly love those horses, shhh.

So last night was absolutely amazing. I got to hang out with three of my best friends from high school (two of them go to different colleges) and we had such a great night out. Granted there were some really sketchy people (aka sloppy kissers) we still had fun. ;)

And finally, thank you to all of you guys and your amazing comments regarding my stress. My workload is slowing down (for now) and I'm managing my time better. I actually got a whole 8 hours of sleep the other night, how crazy is that?

Hello Again.

February 25, 2010

Hello Again.

Sorry for the week long hiatus. I've just been stressing over my massive to-do list and I've been getting an average of 4 hours of sleep a night. When I went to get my hair trimmed this past Saturday my hair dresser asked me if I was getting enough sleep since my hair was falling out easily. Also, I've been breaking out on my forehead. Luckily, I got most of my midterms over with during the past few days and I won't have any more exams until the beginning of March (which is approaching soon!). Don't even get me started on everything non-school related. Oh, stress, how you plague me. :(

Anyway, these pictures are from a few weeks ago (before all those snowstorms) and it's one of my favorite photoshoots to date. My photographer and I decided to venture near the school's enormous heating system and, lo and behold, it makes for awesome photographs! The warm water falling down the metal panels let off some hot air so it wasn't too bad standing outside without my jacket on. As for the outfit, I decided to turn my dress into a skirt since I wasn't in a dress mood that day. I think it turned out quite nice :)

Oh! And did I mention it's snowing outside again??? There's supposed to be another giant snowstorm coming tonight which is kind of crazy because I'm pretty sure I started getting ready for spring a few days ago. Maybe I'll get a few shots in the snow tomorrow. Time to catch up on all of your lovely blogs!

And before I forget, I want to thank Lorena from In Vogue 1 Day for the Happy 101 Award! Definitely check out her site because she has the most gorgeous and creative illustrations. My favorites are her astrology-inspired illustrations. :)
Also, a HUGE thank you to Sharon from EliSharon for the Happy 101 Award, the Over the Top Award, and  the Sunshine Award. You are seriously one of the sweetest bloggers I've met so far. You never fail to put a smile on my face. :)

Sorry x Infinity. 

Midterms, Clubs, and People are stressing me out recently and leaving me with lack of sleep. I promise I'll be back with a new post ASAP. :)

Stormtroopers and Seagulls

Stormtroopers and Seagulls

Does anyone else have an insane love for all-black outfits? There's just something about them but I'm not sure what it is. Maybe I'm just a little bit tipsy right now. Either way, I love them. :)

I'm definitely glad it's finally the weekend. I haven't been getting enough sleep recently and I keep dozing off at random times of the day. I took an afternoon nap today and woke up when my class had already started! It seems like all I do during the majority of my classes is sleep, sleep, and then get more sleep. And by the time I get out of class there's no point in taking a nap since I already slept during class! Oh, I can't wait until the summertime where all I'll be doing is sleeping. Actually, that's not true, since I'm currently on the hunt for an internship! I've found a few that I'm interested in but I'm having trouble looking. Do you guys know of any great internships in the NJ/NYC area? I should be working on my Resume and Cover Letters right now. Actually...I should really be sleeping right now. AHHHHH!

I was being a little bit silly in the above photograph but I really liked the lighting so I posted it anyway. 

On another topic, I picked the winners of my Chinese New Year Giveaway (ooh look at me, I'm so cultural! haha) using random.org. Congratulations to Kirsten and Taylor! I'll find time this weekend in between studying for my Statistics and Accounting midterms to mail your packages! :)

NYFW: Sheila Frank F/W 2010

NYFW: Sheila Frank F/W 2010

In Bryan Park - as if you couldn't tell. Aren't Kelly's boots gorgeous? [taken by Diane]

So I've finally found some time to update my blog (hello 4:04AM!) and post some pictures from my trip into NYC on Friday. As I said in my Video in the previous blog, thanks to Diane from Snapshot Fashion, I was able to take a train up to see Sheila Franks' F/W 2010 Collection! (Click on the link to see a ton of pictures of her collection). I especially loved the shoes and the dresses (and the photography by Meg Urbani was just stunning). Overall it was a GREAT experience and I'm so thankful I was able to attend. I'm still upset I didn't have my camera but luckily both Kelly and Diane had their cameras so I stole a few shots. Kelly (the other blogger who got to go) and Diane were some of the sweetest girls I've ever met and I'm glad I got to know them a lot better. :)

Finally I would love to make a HUGE shout out to Janel. She was the first person (and only - so far) to purchase something from my Shop! I never expected to receive a Thank You package from Janel which included the sweetest card I've ever received and a gorgeous pair of tights (I can't wait to figure out a way to style them). And best of all, it came perfectly on Valentine's Day! Definitely check out this girl's Flickr photos, she's quite the photographer. Thanks again, Janel! :)

p.s. Don't forget to enter my Chinese New Year Banner Giveaway in the post down below by 11:59PM EST! :)
