Finally Back into my Own BLOG!

So it has taken me more than half a year to remember the email and password combination that I used to open this thing. I forgot it one day and now it just came to me.

So let's talk about my new art obsession. I am looking to decorate my room in every authentic art piece I can find. This one I found online while looking for something else and since then I have been looking for an artist who could replicate this amazingly cute and quirky picture that was finger painted by a small child.

This fall will be the first time I debut any sort of fashion line. I'll be designing for a going green cause and hopefully will post pictures soon. It's in November. Until then, I'll be here updating my progress!

Mother of Pearl

I just wanted to post a quick note about pearls. You don't have to wear them as jewlery if you don't want to. In fact, there are so many beautiful accessories that have pearl incorprated in them it's hard to choose. This clutch is a mother of pearl mosaic cut night bag by Celestina. It's elegant and beautiful. The structure is strong; allowing it to be paired with a flowey dress. I suggest a nice, frilly, black dress. The clutch may have you digging deep in your purse to get it though. But, this may just be worth it. Find it at www.vivre.com. Currently this is ITEM NUMBER 39032.

For the Love of Pearl

I'm a Sponge Bob fan, and that is my favorite saying that Mr. Crabs uses. But, in all seriousness, I love pearls. My mother and grandmother have always loved them, so I even though I loved them, I always associated them with an older generation. In high school I tried not to rock the grandmother trends. A few years ago I began to wear pearls. I stopped caring that I could possibly be making myself into an eighty year old woman. Haha, just kidding. Although the pearls felt old to me, I began to see them as timeless. They had an elegance to them that no longer exists. They are delicate and pretty with out being overly flashy and obnoxious, no matter how big they are.
I finally bought my first necklace about two years ago. Since then I have added a few other pieces to my collection. Even better, the pearl trend has been hitting the fashion scene pretty hard lately. I know, like everything else in that fashion business, it will fade as fast as it got here. But, I'm not worried this time. I know the rules; one minute your in, the next your out. I know I'll be wearing pearls no matter which phase the fashion world is in. Like I said before, they are timeless to me.

Mesi Jilly

Over this past summer I was bored and I decided to read through some old magazines. In an older issue of Vogue I read an article about a woman who designed the most beautiful rings out of seashells. These rings were so beautiful I wanted to see them in person. She described her jewelry as a center pieces in themselves. I had to take a look. So, I dragged my semi-willing room mate to SoHo to take a peak at these ,mostly, undiscovered treasures.
Surprise number 1- When I was looking at the rings in Vogue I thought the pictures were enlarged to show detail. I was wrong. These, one of a kind, rings were as big as the picture appeared in the magazine. I was a little surprised at the size, although Mesi Jilly was right. These rings were center pieces. They are perfect for a little black dress.
Surprise number 2- The rings were sized too big for my fingers. I have very small hands, and the rings were quite large. I'm hoping that if I ever want to buy one that I can find one in my size. As for you, if you would like to find where to buy these great rings you can look up all the locations on her website. The address is www.mesijilly.net
Even though I was surprised with the rings, I do believe they are a fabulous addition to any cocktail ring collection. There's nothing like a piece that speaks for itself.

Camera time in Florida

Ahh the beautiful beach! I am down in Florida taking in the beach. Which is why I havn't really been blogging although I don't know what my excuse is the other times lol. So the beach is nothing but inspiring when it comes to clothes. I can't get enough of the view and the beauty! I can't wait to draw out the clothes that I have come up with down here.
On another note! I now have a functioning camera so I am so excited. I finally will have my own pictures to post. No more searching forever for what I want! So that's somthing to look forward to.
I really want to take a minute and let you know about a website I have linked on my page. It's fashioninternships.blogspot.com and it's amazing. The girl who posts it provides a service that I feel is unbelievable. She posts free fashion internships and that is rare in itself. The only other places you can really find that is Fashion.net under work or on craigslist.com. Either way, she has organized it and put together a list of great internships. Not only that she posts when people have used her site and gotten the jobs. I really appreciate her effort becuase I know how hard it is to find and get those internships. Check it out if you get a chance!

<3 big city life

Hey! Ok, so why is Nichole Kidman in my blog? I guess it's because I just can't get enough of the necklace hanging down her back.

For years I have searched for a necklace that i could do that with...as you can probably guess... I have have no luck. What's the solution? I'm giong to make my own. I did on prom and it was adorable. Now...I just need to get to a jewlery supply store and see what I can come up with. The ideas are flowing...If any one has good ideas or even knows where you can buy one thats made already just let me know! I would love to post that for everyone looking for a great necklace!

Number 5 Chanel is a great perfume. It's got a classic smell thats a little stronger than I am used to wearing but it's very classic. Try it out!

Dear Readers,
I really am excited to start writing again. I havn't in a long time and I'm really glad I decided give it a go once more. I am now in NYC and this is the view from my window currently! It's so wonderful to be able to experience the city. I have never been able to spend time here and this is really amazing! I have been spending every second I can soaking up the experience. It's like a mass network of opportunity. I love it.

I'm also in LOVE with the fashion scene. Nothing is more interesting

than walking around the city discovering all the small designers, becoming more familiar with the big ones, and dreaming of becoming one yourself. I am going to post some websites for shopping, jobs, and just fun for everyone to check out. I have spent some much time finding things to help bring me closer to my fashion career that I hope you find them useful like I did.

These bags on the right by Chanel are wonderful summer bags. So if anyone is still looking for bright and summery then look no further. I have seen a few in the city and they make me do a double take every time!
