I need desire, to feel alive

My my myyyy. I'm currently in New York and loving it! I got it Wednesday afternoon in time to for the Anna Sui show that night at 6. Unfortunately my camera is HORRIBLE. I'm pretty sure none of my pictures turned out blog worthy, which saddens me. :( I'll look through them when I get home and see if I can't edit any to make them presentable. If not, I'll link some pictures. Her collections was simply amazing!

Right now, I'm being mind blown at all the people I see as I walk around. So much inspiration! Everyone has their own style here, and isn't afraid to wear what they want. I love it! I just wish it was like this back home. Being here and seeing all these people also kind of makes me feel so small and like I can't compete with these people. It's not a competition or anything, really I just mean I feel like I can't compare. Like I don't have anything on these people you know? But I shouldn't think of it that way. I should look at it as a learning experience and pick up some tips and trying and bring it back home with me. :)

On another note, the weather here is amazing! Its so nice and cool; although yesterday I had a dress on and it was quite windy. Hopefully I didnt flash too many people? :/ I believe I'll wait till I'm home to post the different outfits. It will be easier that way. haha. And I'll just shove them into one HUGE post. hehe.

I believe tonight we're going to the Empire state building! I'm quite excited! Though not so excited for the crowded sidewalks. Those are such a pain. Ohwellz. haha. It will definitely be an experience!

Take advantage of your space

I'm in love with these thigh high socks! It's still a bit warm but thats okay! I'm typically cold. haha. I was suppose to post up my outfit friday but I took the pictures on my phone and I'm not sure what it was, but they were horrible quality so thats why they didn't get posted. Sorry! But at least you see them now. haha

SO I have huge news! I will be going to New York (for the first time) the 15th-20th for Fashion Week! My mother works with a lady whos daughter graciously invited me to come with her when her fiance wasn’t able to make it. I died. Literally. One show I know we will be attending is Anna Sui, and I believe I will be able to borrow a dress from her line to wear to her show. I’m so extremely excited and blessed! The only things I will be paying for are things I purchase while there.

My mind is spinning with possible outfits to bring! I also have to be careful not to pack too much so I can bring things home. I believe amazing things are going to happen on this trip. I can't wait to see who I get to meet and talk to! Ah!

Who all is planning to go to Fashion Week?

And now I am sure my heart can never be still

I promise I'm not dead. And Ive been utterly lazy with posting and anything internet that correlates with fashion. I'm not sure why. Possibly because the past two months have been wrapped up in emotional conflict with people in my life. It's been rough but it's getting better. I honestly felt like I let myself slip away for a while. School starting up again has definitely reawakened me though. Just through the fact that my anxieties have returned. Which is annoying and I hope to one day fully get over them, but it makesme feel like my old self. And pushed my thoughts back onto my passions. Fashion and music.

I've realized I've been slacking almost all summer with my styling choices. Yes, I pick out cute outfits and I like them, but they aren't always...special. They seem very safe I guess. I like my old styling where I wasn't afraid that someone would be wearing something similar. I'm working on getting back to that place. For starters I recently bought some thigh high socks! And while it is still so very hot in Florida, I believe I will be wearing a pair to my job interview later today at Claires. Which I am very excited about! That will be another chance for me to work on my outfits, since you are allo
wed to dress up. The completely opposite has my hostessing job where we have a uniform. Which I will still be keeping. College is expensive. And so is the dream of moving out. Hahah.


At the end of June I started to research finger tattoos after seeing a girl with one. For some reason it just captured my attention so much. I was almost obsessed with them! I saw many cute ones but finally got my own idea. Since music is a huge part of my life (trumpet for 5 years, guitar for 2, and singing all my life) I decided I wanted something related to that! And I came up with the idea of getting an eighth note on my right ring finger. I had a friend draw it on and it was something I couldn't see myself without. I've always said if I ever decided to get a tattoo I would think about it for a long time, but I couldn't with this. Probably a month and a half later I got it done! For only $5 by one of my best friends brother in law. It hurt
though! Sooo much. But it's worth it.

Anyways, I'll be doing another post today, promise! I have my outfit planned out for later so I'll have a post on it. Till then!
