Braided







I sometimes like to weave in my personal style throughout the blog! Although I always write more than show pictures, I thought I'd mix it up a bit in order to keep Moda a la Rojo dynamic. This was taken about two weeks ago with my fashion bestie Ricardo. Right now I am rewriting a paper, studying for textiles, and writing a blog post for Spark Magazine. Plus I need to do some calculus. Ideally I would like to go out tonight, but there is a deluge of work that I must complete so that I can have a life on the weekend. Look out for new posts in the future. For now I will just enjoy the beautiful weather in Austin and continue studying! (I sound like the biggest loser...)

Welcome to the Hectic Life of a College Student

Every day I write in my agenda the following, "Blog." But all my other homework piles on top of that simple task and therefore I am not able to blog everyday, or as much as I would like. It is beyond unfortunate, but I will find time to blog! Now that I am a writer for Spark Magazine, most of my writing will be seen there, as I will be focusing my attention to this student run magazine. However do not fret because I will never forget my true roots so I will continue to blog as much as I can. 


I never was able to do my stories on NYFW, London FW, Milan FW, or Paris FW. Yeah I know, I'm way behind...but as promised, my favorite looks will appear at some point on my blog. 


But in the mean time, keep biting your nails and stay tuned for things that will come in the future:
-A new banner
-1000000 new entries (just kidding, not that many!)
-New photoshoots
-More people watching during concerts (I am going to a food trailer festival this weekend, where Delta Spirit will be playing).
-&& NEW DESIGNS FROM MODAROJO




Don't get impatient with the blog, as it will be moving slowly, but the second I have time to write reviews and articles, I will do so. 


On a side note I have been chosen to be one of Whitney Port's Protege's in the BBM Challege so I will be competeting with others so that I can meet Whitney and expand my knowledge on the fashion industry by learning from her! I will have 4 challenges before the final grand prize winner is announced, so stay tuned as the public gets to vote after ever challenge!!! (SO EXCITED!! My new BlackBerry will be sent to me soon!)



  




There are some exciting changes coming to Moda a La Rojo, and they will become more apparent slowly but surely!

Knot yet Knitwear Time.

...Well, who really cares? Not me. In the morning on my long treks to class (I might be overstating that a bit), the weather is ideal for knits, but as the day progresses, the temperature increasingly approaches the three digit spectrum. I don't exactly let that get in my way though. A few days ago I was really stressed and studying for an exam, when my friend Ricardo and I had to to meet so he could return my calculator. Instead of just exchanging a few words and going back to my dorm, I decided to take a one hour break with him where we shot looks together, and it was a needed break! I must admit that my face was very red by the end of the impromptu shoot, due to the sun! Ricardo took all the photos, and he let me borrow his ASOS satchel for a few of the pictures!
