Time of Your Life

As the school year progresses, I have been thinking more and more about what I want to major in and what I want to do for the rest of my life even more so than I have been. The truth is: I haven't a clue. All I know is that I want to be in fashion, but there are so many different careers in fashion--not just design! I have a bit more to figure it all out...but the great thing about this city is that it is one of the greatest fashion capitols of the world. With Fashion's Night Out, New York Fashion Week, and street styles of people who are so bold and daring...it is my favorite thing of New York.

My Fashion's Night Out was great--my friends and I went into Marc Jacobs's boutique and actually saw him! I was literally right next to the genius, but he left before I could get a photo with him ;(

Fashion Week was fantastic for a first timer!! Getting practically swarmed at by photographers is really something I can get used to...hahahha. I wore the heel less Jeffrey Campbells, and I fell down quite a bit and had bloody knees by the end of the night...but I ended up getting a lot of photos taken of me and am up on some websites, so it was worth the pain! Beauty is pain, after all...and you know how the world thinks New Yorkers are rude? I cannot understand that, even strangers on the streets all have been so kind. A woman on the street gave me a bunch of band-aides and tissues after seeing my bloody knees! That's not rudeness.

This is my feet and name on the Wall Street Journal!!! Ahhhh 

And this is my feet on ABC news :)

Oh, so fashionable.

Random person with the Prada sunnies I so want!!!

Home Is Where the Heart Is

Apologies for not updating as of late...I've been super duper busy with everything. But I love it. I love being busy and productive and working towards something greater than anything I have ever done. Moving to New York City was the best thing I have ever done. This is the best place for everyone who wants to become someone. Whenever I am solitarily walking the streets of this city whilst listening to my iPod, I get this surreal feeling like I am invincible! It is really inexplainable and I really do feel like I can do anything.

The workload at Parsons is tough...but I know I can get through it. I love the people here--I never had much in common with my friends back in Oklahoma, but it's like I found a place I belong. And Lord knows I did not belong in Oklahoma.

I live close to Union Square, and the best farmers market opens on the weekends. I bought this bunch of lavender from Britain from the market and I can't wait to make tea with it! I've been quite obsessed with the color lavender lately. 

A random someone gave me this in Union Square. It made me smile :)

 I walked to Central Park one day to sketch for homework...and it was indescribably lovely...I love Central Park. I just wish it was closer to where my dorm is! I have been mesmerized with this bridge ever since I saw it in the movie Home Alone: Lost in New York, and it was wonderful to just sit in front of it and sketch.

This was the first time I have seen a protest in NYC! And it was for a cause I certainly agree with.

I love this city. It feels like home.
