Chuckle Fest.

Coming back to the writing table after having started this story, I find this story hilarious. One night while commuting home on the subway, I was thinking that I would love to write. I love writing, and expressing my experiences, thoughts, and, emotions, through words. When I made it home from the rainy outdoors, write I did. Then I was thinking: UM. I have a seemingly forgotten fashion blog I have neglected because my minutes are spent creating, promoting, and blogging over here, so check it out!

Here is a pretty comical non-sartorial story for YOU:

There was a man who sitting beside me (not right beside me, but two seats away. Thank God he was not right beside me. I would have cackled with laughter. Cackled, I tell you. This man was carving a 2 by 3 inch piece of styrofoam into a shape which God only knows from what appeared to be a guitar pick. A GUITAR PICK. He was carving so intensely, and crazily, about 5 people forming a square in their seats around him (myself included) on the westbound train stared humourously, transfixed, at this mad/carving man. This man made a complete mess of his surrounded area... just before he exited the subway he quickly tidied his spot as if he was never there. Astonishing. To this day I am still amazed and wonder what that man was making from his styrofoam cube.

Don't be afraid to be yourself and do fun things on the subway. I truly think we can all take a lesson from this man.

School has started, but do you have any funny summer stories to share? Leave them in the comment box!

Hope all is well sweet cheeks. Love and miss you all. Holler.

Secrets

Secrets to being a star employee?

...

Certainly not steaming your clothes before you arrive the office. Subway commutes and walks usually wrinkle your clothes a wee bit before you even get to the office anyway.

But rules for success:

Never be standing around doing nothing. There is ALWAYS something to do.

Everyone texts/BBMS/Pings. Its fashion, PEOPLE. What are my thoughts on this? Texting is super fashiony. If you are doing something important, do it while you are eating or on a wee break.

Arrive early and stay later than others - typical intern guidelines.

Be friendly, kind, and super hardworking... even if it takes a bit of time and other people are not this way. If you are afraid to do something (which I definitely have been) remember that everyone else also had a first time for everything like you!

Be thankful for an awesome opportunity you have been blessed with!

Right

You guessed it right.

Stephen and Kirk are the raddest. Also, their designs are SO swoon worthy. Clothes that make you say "I want that on my body".

Guessing Game

Photography credit Laura Berry from FrontRow mag. This super glamourous outfit is from the Fall/Winter 2011/2012 show of the brand where I will be interning this summer. Any guesses as to what the brand is called?

Caught

Photo courtesty of We Heart It. I found this image of Taylor Tomasi Hill and fell in LOVE. With the bright colours, tulle poking out form the bottom of the skirt, the poppy cardigan, and studded converse, what could be more perfect?

Loving

When I saw these shoes, it was love at first site. They are from a brand I found out from , a beautiful online monthly magazine, that inspires me to do better. The folks at Matchbook are launching their second issue next month. Be sure to read their first issue, available on the site now!
