Back to School, Back to School

Well, school starts in two weeks. I've been putting a lot of thought into my back to school wardrobe and have picked out a few key pieces.





BCBG





Ed Hardy Boot





True Religion Jeans





Forever 21





Bakers





Balenciaga ( now as I wish I could have the real thing, I will probably have to find a knockoff, any suggestions?)



What are your back to school finds/list?

I just read the news about Christina Applegate having breast cancer. I was dumbfounded. It really can hit anyone. The Sweetest Thing is one of my favorite movies. I have yet to see an episode of "Samantha Who," but I hear good things. Thank god the doctors caught it early, and expect a full recovery.

So did anyone else hear about the new dinosaur thing they found. I'm so excited! I love dinos. You can read more about it on aol.com

So back to my college search. I submitted my first application to the state of new york. Then I guess FIT will send me specifics for their school. I'm really nervous already. This is my future we are talking about here! I've been talking to all kinds of people to get as mush advice as possible. I live in a small town, so New York will be a HUUUGEEE change! I'm ready for it though, and where ever it takes me.

I worked at bakers today. I'm exhausted. I worked a 13 hour day on Friday. IT WAS HORRIBLE! Thursday I go to Chicago for the weekend for some back to school shopping. Hopefully, I will pick up some of the things on my list.

Well thats all for now, Ciao!

Well, Here it goes.

Lots of new stuff buzzing around in the fashion world! I'll have to say, I'm pretty excited about the new Olsen book coming out. Partnered with Penguin they are producing a book for Young Readers about the influences (the good ones!) in their lives.

From a wire by Penguin

"The book will include "exclusive photographs of Ashley and Mary-Kate from world renowned photographer Rankin, and a wide variety of other never-before-seen materials and interviews from Mary-Kate and Ashley's personal collections.""Mary-Kate and I have filled `Influence' with the most interesting, challenging, creative people we know — the ones who helped pave the way for us and our generation," Ashley Olsen said in a statement."Ashley and I interviewed the people who have inspired us, with the hope that they will inspire and teach others," Mary-Kate Olsen said in a statement."







I will be looking foward to reading it. I just got it on presale.



Also, DVF just got admitted to the Fashion Walk of Fame! I love her style, she deffinantly deserves it. She's obviously timeless since shes lasted so long!



On the personal side, applications for FIT for 2009 school year are posted the 1st. I'm going to get in there and apply right away, since from most of my research I have found that it takes awhile to get papers back!

ADVICE TO ANYONE LOOKING TO APPLY:

Apply Early

Spend a lot of time on the essay, have teachers and mentors read it

Be creative and find something that will make you stand out

-all advice from current students.

oh and dont worry cause you arent alone. Plenty of us are just as clueless.





I also put in an application for TeenVogue's Fashion U. 2008. It's a great opportunity, I suggest that everyone apply. They have the pros of the Fashion World for a huge seminar plus concert to help girls with their fashion careers. I really hope I get in!

Well I have work early tomorrow, 9:45 at Bakers Footwear Group and then at 3 for abercrombie. Off to bed! Ciao
