Holiday season is soo crazy, especially for me who now works in two retail stores. I just got a second job and now my days are filled with work and being sleepy! I can't wait to get back to school, and I definitely cannot wait until holiday season is overrrrrr!

Here is another look I styled, I was inspired by contrast. The softness of the pink pastel sweet and I really wanted to make a look with a rebellious edge, so i added the leather jacket and boots.

Im still here...

So I had obviously taken a break from blogging, things just ended up getting busy! I have two jobs now and school, It wont be like this for long, but I will be getting back onto blogging. So I found this website thanks to another blogger and I styled together this look:

I have always admired mixing in satin sleepwear with knits, It gives off a smooth comfy feel to the look. What do you guys think?

Today I attended Lasa's one year anniversary fashion show, Lasa's Accessories came to be a year ago when two sibilings, Susan and Alvaro, decided to start selling fashion accessories. I was introduced to Susan and she was very sweet and friendly, I love that they provide fashion forward accessories at great prices. I bought a purse for $10 and a ring
for $11!


Here are my faves from the show, I love the skirts and the handbags!:


Susan and Alvaro

At the runway a fashion designer featured some looks from his collection, these two where my favorite:
above is the designer himself

I would say I ended up wearing the trend on the show : high waisted skirt.

The reason behind my title: For some reason someone mistook Anna for Amanda ;P

So I began having breakouts at around age 16, I remember I came back from vacationing in December and that's when it all started!
This product has worked great for me, I went into sephora one day and asked the lady if there was any particular brand that customers said they have seen improvements, so she pointed out this kit and a Murad one. I chose this one because of the variety of ingredients: Salicylic acid in cleanser, Benzoyl peroxide gel, and sulfer mask.
I have been using it for about 3 weeks and the redness has gone away and also my blemishes, I doesn't dry out my skin too much since I have oily skin, and the matte lotion has spf 15 since skin will become more sensitive to the sun when using the gel.


Have you seen the video of how Kanye rudely interupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech?
He did, this was Taylor's first VMA and he ruined it.
"Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'm-a gonna let you finish,but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!"

And now he is feeling bad about it and has apologized for the 3rd time, saying he will take time for reflection.

sorry for such a short post

saturday, san francisco

This is the only picture I took of San Francisco, sorry I forgot to take out my camera until we were on our way home! :S
So my mom and I went to the city to go tour a school I am considering, The Academy of Art University! I enjoyed the tour, they have a lot of tools necessary! Rooms filled with sewing machines and pressing tables along with big working tables, rooms for textiles, rooms for knit with two huge purple monsters for those interested in knit design, a huge room filled with macs, a gallery showcasing student work, and a lot more to offer! I only visited 2 of the 13 buildings they have around San Francisco!

This is my outfit for the day, I tried to dress a bit warm since it is always cool in San Francisco. We got lucky because it was a nice day and the weather was a little warm, my mom and I left right after speaking to an adviser because I had to be at work at 4, but we will hopefully be going very soon!

This week was one of my craziest week ever, I had school monday through saturday and worked 5 days this week so I felt so stressed and deprived of sleep! Thank goodness for weekends.
What are you guys up to this weekend?
I am also going to add a links list, so if anyone is interested in exchanging links let me know.

New Armory

I cant help but admire this new armory. Bellow is ACNE s/s 2010 and these are some pieces that had metal work on them.

[ACNE]

Then I became more interested when I saw Alexis Bittar's resort collection. Alexis Bittar started selling his own line at age 20 in New York's SOHO and today his work is sold worldwide.

Isn't this amazing?
Are we going to start seeing more of this leg armor around?
what do you guys think?

thank you all for the comments on my room! You guys made my day! :)

New Room + get to know me

Old room....New room.

Here is the icky mess my room was in before, a yellow on the walls I didn't want, and unorganized and lifeless! So I did already start putting items away in boxes, but it still looks like how it was.

I managed to clear away almost everything, we did paint it with this furniture still in room, but without the bed of course.What lovely job my boyfriend did! don't you think? I love the pink!

This is where I put all my Eau de Toilette and body lotions + jewelry box my dad had given me.

I bought these shelves at Ikea.

My new work station.

And this is a mirror I bought at Ikea, I put a lamp over it and now this is where I do my makeup!

What do you guys think about my new room?

Here is a little about me:

This is me, As you may know my name is Anna.
I am 19 years old, almost 20 (October) and I am a college student who is looking to transfer this spring or next fall depending where I end up going to school. I will be majoring in Fashion Merchandising and I am looking forward to start!
I like blogging because it is a good way for me to read up on fashion news and stay informed, while I write about it.

camping at the Bellagio

[Teen Vogue]
I absolutely loved this editorial in Teen Vogue's September issue! The neon colors are so inspiring. I was reminded for some reason on Las Vegas Bellagio hotel, because of the colors and fun in the interior of the hotel.

Here are some pictures of the Ballagio, you will see what I mean when I say that it looks like they went camping in the Bellagio.These colorful jelly-fishing looking decorations are on the ceiling in the lobby.
