Pavoni // World Mastercard Fashion Week (Teaser Video) from StoriesWorthSharing on Vimeo.

Haven't had a chance to blog lately because I've been super swamped with our new client - PAVONI.

They just wrapped up with Toronto fashion week and let me tell you.. their gowns are beautiful! Check it out!

Fun fact: Their long red floral embellished gown is all hand beaded and took over 1300 hours to make. Talk about intense labour costs!

BUT SOMETIMES IT'S A GOOD HURT

"Why should we need a reason to love? To point out explanations for why we do is called calculating. Love has no numbers. Love is wordless and deprived of rationality. Love imbues feelings, love also creates emotions. But love itself, is neither a feeling nor emotion. Love goes beyond what one feels, but love does not surpass what one could not perceive. Love is a mystery waiting to be deciphered. Love makes no sense with reasons it does not have."

London Fashion Week may be over for another year, but that doesn’t mean that the fashion industry will be taking the backseat in the coming months. Quite the opposite – fashion brands are falling over themselves to get noticed with their offerings of all things floral and summery.

When it comes to fashion, most people want fashion labels that reflect not only their lifestyle, but also their personality. After all, when was the last time you added something to your wardrobe that didn’t reflect your personality in some way?

Fashion designer royalty Coco Chanel was a firm believer of using fashion to reflect your personality. Psychologies Magazine recently quoted her as saying: “If a woman is badly dressed, it’s the dress we’ll notice; but if she is impeccably dressed, it’s the woman herself we’ll notice.”

So, dressing to suit your personality is crucial, whether it’s that nervy first date or meeting your co-workers in a new job. Writing in the The Times Education Supplement, Rosemary Cains explains:

“The way we dress really can impress. Turning heads can also turn attitudes… Established research says that most 55 per cent of people’s first impressions are based on visual judgments, with 33 per cent depending on tone of voice and only 7 per cent on what you actually say.”

If you’re looking for a fashion label that has plenty of personality, why not try Joe Browns They describe themselves as a ‘true lifestyle company’ and promise a fun and relaxed ethos that you find reflected in their quirky and casual summer clothes range, perfect for festival-goers or lazy days by the beach.

The Joe Browns store at Littlewoods.com is full of unique and unusual pieces that will appeal to lovers of boho-chic and unconventional style, including vintage-feel floral tea dresses, cowboy and worker boots, cute floaty blouses and lots of distressed denim. Take a look at this personality-packed collection – with pieces for men and women available online, you can shop for a new summer wardrobe that makes a real statement.

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

2012-01-20T17:03:00.005-05:00

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

2011-12-21T01:36:00.006-05:00

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

2011-12-14T22:39:00.005-05:00

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

2011-12-02T01:24:00.003-05:00

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.

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.

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

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

2011-11-12T16:13:00.006-05:00

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.
