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?

thats not my name

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

DDF

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.

Today marks the beginning or NY fashion week, and Fashion's night Out, I can only wish I were there.
I am honestly waiting to see Mara Hoffman's collection, especially seeing her work coming from cultural inspirations.

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.

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?
