cover to cover

genius makers.

(only low quality pictures are mine)

This months issue of NYLON blew me away. Ever since I first opened a NYLON (in 7th grade) I have been obsessed. It is the reason I want to pursue a career in the fashion industry, shaped my ultimate dream of being a model, and never cease to amaze me. Although this issue is focussed on denim from *cover to cover*, It has so many interesting, fresh, fun and new topics every month. I wonder how the makers find so many topics in one months time...? Pressure. But I'd still a d o r e to be a part of such an amazing magazine. To be able to put clothes on a girl like Olivia Wilde (someone who is usually a provocative poser) and still make her look sexy is magicians task, yet NYLON does it. In this issue, a certain little advertisement caught my eye: the HTC Status ad. That phone has a facebook button. WOW. I want it. And it's not because I'm a crazy facebook-addict. I'm not. I'm really not. I just really like qwerty phones. I can't stand touch screen phones, that think you have leprechaun fingers. Sorry android, I have sausage fingers.

Oh and by the way, I scored that Foam magazine value pack for $6.95! Probably because it was the January issue, it was July when I bought it. Who gives! I wouldn't give up an opportunity to buy my second favorite magazine for anything.

Fashion design course

This book inspired me to pursue fashion design. The best part is it has suggestions and a description of careers in the fashion industry. So you can read each and pick a new career, like me! (:

Life is Beautiful.♡

Its heartbreaking that I have no time for Blogger, Lookbook, Polyvore, and the like. I have so many cute unrecorded outfits from the past few weeks, how sad. Its nice to catch a break to blog a bit, since I've just started college. I swear I'm developing scoliosis with my 20lb bag I carry around campus all day. A bit of great news though; I've decided I'm going to major in Theatre arts with emphasis on performance, and minor in Art. I also plan on pursuing Fashion Design at Parsons The New School for Design after graduating SDSU *applause*.
This summer has been nothing but lazy mornings, Easy A on repeat, 91X fest (a very orgasmic concert: INCUBUS, come on!), second hand shopping, new music, cuisine hopping, bonfires, pool diving, and nonstop homework. What a beautiful life. My life has just taken mad steroids since I've enhanced my wardrobe. I'm like me times 10 with all my "out there" outfits. Not to mention, I found this awesome App called trend tracker by trendstop.com that keeps us fashion fanatics up to date on the latest news, trends, designers, and stores. A genious invented this app. Thank you thank you thank you. That is where I heard about Karl Lagerfeld's most recent project with Macy's. Its supposed to be this super sophisticated 45-piece collection with rich fabrics and graphic patterns. My favorite part by far is the not-so-expensive prices, averaging from $50 to $170. Wow, Karl!
