Hola amigos! I have been in Mexico for two weeks now, and as every day progresses, my love for the city grows. From the amazing food to spending time with my whole family, I am so content here! And although I have not written in a while, I thought it was about time I did, for I missed posting! Believe it or not, my English has become a bit rusty since I have only been speaking Spanish for the past two weeks...but do not fret because I will not let it impede my posting! I will be here for another three weeks and I am still searching for contacts from Nylon Mexico! They always have events around the city, but I have yet to find them...
As soon as I get back home, I get back to work and I think I will make a few skirts and dresses. The last dress I made for the Tickle Me Pink Fashion Show I gave to a friend who will be going to Australia in a matter of days so I do not have any of my new clothes, therefore I feel like I must make some more! I have already gotten requests to make that dress by a number of people before I leave for college, so I will be a busy bee! (If you would lilke a scarf, dress, or skirt, let me know!!). I actually will be making a few dresses while I am here in Mexico for my cousin!
Now let's talk about fashion! First of all I will be getting the Acqua di Gioia by Giorgio Armani perfumme upon my arrival in the States because my mom has it and I am obsessed and already tried to take it hostage, but she wanted it back! There are also a pair of Louis Vuitton flats that I must own. And of course a watch! My white digital watch is cool, but beyond dirty, so I want to upgrade to an analogue (Michael Kors preferably). The good thing is that I have a while before college and will be able to do all my shopping! AND I will be dorm shopping! My roomate and I decided on a rustic boho feel! I love vintage and anything boho (hence my style..) so as soon as I find my bedding I will post pictures. I also got a trenchcoat for the rainy days that I will have to walk to class! I haven't posted any new lookbook pictures, so I will do that sometime when I get back!

This year for the Tickle Me Pink Fashion Show, I not only designed for my third year, but I also co-produced the show with Adair Reidy and Zoe Patterson. Zoe started the show four years ago to benefit Pink Ribbons Project, a Houston breast cancer organization which uses the arts to raise awareness.
Contrasting last year's collection, I only designed five pieces this year since I arrived from a month long trip a day before the show. Although I might have made one of my pieces the day of the show (insider secret), the show at Spring Street Studios was a success. Not only was the fashion haute, but the music from DJ Dan Rose also made the show quite the fashion event of the summer. I may have suggested a few tunes for the night (fashion + music = my life, duh!). We honored Sarah Stewart and Tysh Mefferd of Stella and Dot! My wonderful sister took all my pictures as always, and seeing them after the show made my month! They truly are AMAZING photos! Also a special thanks to all my models for helping me model, without you, I would not have been able to exhibit my clothes! Enjoy!
xox,
