It's easy to forget why you do certain things, or why you ever fell in love with it in the first place.

It's things like this that remind me.

Thank you.

"Hi!

I'm a big fan of your blog and I just wanted to say it's truly inspirational. It seems like you are chasing your dream and living your dream. I'm really inspired.

If possible, I would like to ask what did you study as your undergrad to get to where you are now? Also, how did you land those awesome internships?

It would help a lot because I definitely have a passion for fashion and would love to pursue a career in it.

It would mean a lot. Thank you so much!

Keep inspiring us and best of luck with everything!
-BT"

HOME SWEET HOME

2012-01-20T17:03:00.004-05:00

San Jose & LA, California.

Hello :)

After some crazy New York adventures and a much needed vacation in LA, I'm finally home!!

Well, I got back a couple weeks ago, but moving back in has been quite challenging.

I know I've been away from the blog for a long time now, but traveling has been incredible.

Now that I'm back, you'll definitely be seeing more of me.

These are just a few shots from my trip to California for the holidays.

NEW YORK PHOTO DIARY

2011-12-21T01:36:00.005-05:00

It's all over now and it's so bittersweet.

I promised myself I wouldn't be sad that it's over; only grateful for the experience.

I get to walk away with friends that I've made for life, and memories that are mine to keep. Forever.

VALENTINO VIRTUAL MUSEUM

2011-12-14T22:39:00.004-05:00

I went to the Valentino Virtual Museum last week.

And let me tell you.. I have never seen anything so immaculate.

The showcasing of his work, Sarah Jessica Parker, Franca Sozzani..

I have always loved all of Valentino's work, but this event in itself was a work of art.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY

2011-12-02T01:24:00.002-05:00

Too much birthday love!

I have the best friends and roommates a girl could ever wish for.

Thanks for making every year special.

YOUR BODY IS A WONDERLAND

Body art is a beautiful thing.

I found inspiration in nose jewelry from freshtrends to post these photos.

Sometimes the best way to express yourself is visually.

Don't be afraid to make a statement.

YOU GOTTA TIP ON THE TIGHTROPE

Sometimes we forget who we are, and what we're truly made of.

You question if you're a good person and if how you perceive yourself to be is how others see you as well.

No matter what happens, you know yourself better than anyone ever will.

I've said it many times, and we just need to be constantly reminded that other people can never dictate who you are, who you should be and how you should feel about yourself.

So be strong. And hold onto that.

IT'S A MAD, MAD WORLD. GOTTA MAKE AN ESCAPE.

2011-11-19T21:40:00.003-05:00

I love my roommate, yup yup, I love her.

GOING WHERE THE ROAD MEETS THE SKY

dress, Necessary Clothing. belt, Wilfred. headband, pantyhose.

Sometimes we forget who we are, and what we're truly made of.

You question whether or not you're a good person and if your own perception of self is how others view you too.

Well, I say no matter what happens, you know yourself better than anyone ever will.

I've said it many times, and maybe we just need to be reminded again that other people can never dictate who you are and how you should feel about yourself.

So be strong. And hold onto that.

VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW 2011

2011-11-12T16:13:00.005-05:00

Highlight of my life.

Kanye + surprise performance by Jay-Z + Maroon 5 + Nicki Minaj = a power house of amazing artists.

I remember exactly 4 years ago I told myself that someday I would go to this show.

I didn't know how I would make that happen, but looking back now, I still can't believe I did it.

Tune in on Nov 29 for the airing of the show.

FATE LOVES THE FEARLESS

2011-10-23T03:14:00.002-04:00

*All images provided by WeHeartIt.

Sometimes you find yourself in a whirlwind of emotions.

A little bit of happiness, a little bit of remorse, and a little bit of fantasy.

Timing seems to be everything.

But despite all the uncertainty and all the odds working against me, I still find myself daydreaming.

Constantly.

THESE STREETS WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BRAND NEW

2011-10-15T23:00:00.000-04:00

I haven't really had a chance to blog much in New York.

Work has been kind of crazy, but I still love soaking up everything about this city.

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU AND I

2011-10-08T15:03:00.002-04:00

sweater, Brandy + Melville. shorts, Urban Renewal. shoes, Windsor Smith. accessories, assorted.

Today I realized that I deserve better.

There wasn't a single cloud in the sky, and for the rest of my days, I want to immerse in sunshine.

Lots of it.

Maybe it's just one of those days..
