I'm back!

It feels like it's been so long since I have made a blog post!  This is about the time of year when things start to get pretty hectic.  I just got back from New York, where I attended the Teen Vogue Fashion University!  It was such an amazing experience.  While there, I managed to take about 1500 pictures... since it would be nearly impossible, and a little overwhelming to share that with you, I have decided to do separate posts on the places I visited along with all of my Teen Vogue seminars.  I must warn you that I have some pretty exciting things to post... so stay tuned :) I will hopefully be making my first New York post next week.  As for now, I have to put the finishing touches on my Halloween costume!  What are you planning to be for Halloween??  Happy Hallo-weekend!

xoxo,

Danielle

Black

As much as I love color, I have a ton of black pieces in my wardrobe.  I love it because it's such a classy color.  I spent my 3 day weekend painting the guest house with my parents.  I probably looked really lost, but I don't think I've ever made so many trips to the Home Depot and Lowe's in one week!  (And I don't know if I ever will again.  I don't think I fit in there too well.)  By the end of the weekend I was so exhausted.  Nothing gets me feeling better like dressing up. (Or shopping!) And my freshly painted wall was the perfect backdrop for my simple black outfit... 

Other than painting the guest house, so many exciting things have been happening......

AAU Fashion Show!

This May, I attended the Academy of Art Graduation Fashion Show.  It was so much fun, I always love taking a trip to the city.  Before the fashion show we got to walk the red carpet and enter the style contest.  The best part about going to SF is dressing up, you can get away with so much more than you can here in the valley.  Although I did decide to tone it down a bit, this time.  The fashion show was just a couple weeks after I got my new Burberry bag, I definitely had to tote it along!  So I kept my outfit to neutrals.

Summer Daze.

I can't believe that in only a few weeks, summer will be over.  Summer has gone by so fast and I'm not ready for it to end!  So I decided to put on my new little white sun dress along with my favorite pair of Chanel sunglasses and enjoy this 90 degree weather.

College just started up a couple of weeks ago and I am finally working my way towards my fashion career!  This is all so exciting and inspiring for me.  I am already learning so much...  

Last night in Mexico....

For the past month, I have been exploring the large city of Guadalajara.  It has been one of the craziest experiences of my life.  I have submerged myself into the Mexican culture, which was much harder than I thought it would be.  I learned a lot of new things.  I experienced new traditions, new places, new food, new everything.... It really puts a whole new perspective into how I view my life.  Before I came here, I thought it would be easy adapt to this culture, but I was completely wrong.  Living here for the past month has been like living in a daze, it has been a whole new world.  A world that I don't understand or relate to.  It has opened my eyes, making me appreciate so much more and feel fortunate for what I have.  I can't even explain how hard it has been for me these past few weeks.  Especially considering I don't have and Mexican background and don't speak spanish.  All I can say is that

A night at the Ballet...

Last weekend, Angelic and I went to the ballet at the Degollado theatre in downtown Guadalajara.  Which is one of the oldest aristocratic theatres in town and it was absolutely GORGEOUS!  Especially at night because it was illuminated it colorful lights.  We went to see an international ballet, so there were ballet dancers from around the world.  It was a great show!  

Isn't it beautiful??

Goodbye, California... Hello, Mexico!!

My best friend, Angelic invited me to spend the summer with her in Guadalajara, Mexico!  Our adventure began Sunday, around 3:00 am at the airport...

After a long day of traveling, we were absolutely EXHAUSTED! We have been blaming our light nights on jet lag... and its out 4th day.  

So here's a little sneak peek at my next post:
