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!

The Next Best Manicure

If you have ever painted your nails at home you have probably become frustrated with the fact that nail polish doesn't seem to look good past day 1 and starts to chip by day 2. Even getting a costly professional manicure does not seem to help stop the dreaded polish chipping that plagues us all. If this is true for you, take a deep breath and maybe even have yourself a sigh of relief! Revlon is here to save your manicure. The Revlon ColorStay Nail Polish is a three step process to a perfect 10 day manicure.
This is how it works:
1. Apply 1 coat of the color polish to clean, dry, unpainted nails. Let dry.
2. Apply 2nd coat of color polish and let dry.
3. Apply 1 coat of clean top coat polish and let dry.
The polish says it will last 10 day while keeping a chip free shine. I have tried two of the colors and am about to start in on my third. Both times I have used the polish it has stayed chip free for all 10 days. I am not very rough on my nails, but I do have friends that are and even they got several days of chip free polish when they usually get no more than a few hours. The great thing about this polish is that the shiny top coat stays for over half the time. It started to fade on my nails around day 7 so I applied another top coat to it and fixed the problem. You will also notice that the consistency of the polish is a little thicker, and less runny, than other brands. I thought that it was easier to apply then most polishes. But, be prepared to work to get the polish off. The staying power is great for as long as you want your manicure to last but can be difficult when it comes to removing it. It takes a lot of polish remover and cotton balls. When it comes down to it, who can complain? You just had the world's longest lasting manicure.

My top three color Picks:
1. Always Wild
2. Always Vintage
3. Always Natural

Spring Goddess

Ok. So I have been just waiting to get a spring dress. Well more than anything I have been waiting for this stupid snow to melt. Then I will be on the hunt for the perfect short spring dress. But, it seems that no matter where I go there are nothing but cheesy, ugly, over streamlined, crap for dresses options. So then the online search began.

I know I said short when I said I was looking, but come on. This dress is the greatest thing I have seen in such a long time. I am willing to do full length when it looks this amazing. This girl looks like the goddess of sunsets or something that spectacular. Ben De Lisi makes my knees shaky. It's just beautiful. It's one of those dresses that could make you feel on top of the world. So, the hunt is on for a dress that looks like that.

Blogging with Wine

Wow. I have fallen in love with this wine. It's great. Wine is something I have never really been interested in. Then in the past month I feel like it's a part of everything I have done. I have a suite mate who had a birthday and she's crazy about wine. I decided to try to like it. It took a while with champagne to really start liking it. When I finally started to like it, I couldn't get enough. I feel like this is what is happening with my wine taste. I started with a couple other wines but tonight a couple friends and I broke into the Renoto and it's just lovely. If anyone has any suggestions on good wines to sample then feel free to post them. So far these have rated as good on my list.

Nozzole
Renoto

We will continue on the tasting spree. And feel free to let me know what you think of these wines.

Tea Tree and Coach Perfume

Hey Hey Readers,

This past weekend I was at the mall and went into The Body Shop. Now, this is how it happened. I didn't mean to just pop in but my roomie from school bought me this great lotion for Christmas. It's called Satsumain lotion and it smells amazing. I have been lathering my hands in it and smelling them constantly. So, in the mall I recognized the smell and had to follow it into the store. They were burning it an oil form and it was amazing. But, instead of buying more of the selection like I thought I would, I ended up buying three things out of the Tea Tree Oil line. It's supposed to be really good for combination skin because it has antibacterial properties and helps control oil. So I will start the regime tonight and keep you updated on how that works out.

I also made my way into the Coach store to check out the new merchandise they had so nicely e-mailed me about. The new perfume was worth going to smell. And, they had a great selection of limited (I think) purses celebrating the new perfume. So if you see this bottle --------> Give it a whiff.
