No big deal, I just spent an hour writing a blog post and it deleted my post. GREAT. Below is the recollection of my thoughts that I tried to remember again...
So I noticed that it is already mid-November and there have been no new posts on Moda RoJo. MAJOR PROBLEM. But do not fret, because alas! A new blog post by me! Instead of writing it verbatim on here, I have decided to share the link with you (ps that's probably illegal even though I wrote it myself, so make sure all you bloggers out there city correctly and give credit to everyone who deserves it). And while you are reading my post, take the time to look at the Spark Full Issues. Spark is UT's own fashion magazine. It kind of extremely rocks. I just wrote about the mysterious lives of models that no one knows about. Just kidding! It's more along of the lines of "the undercover model, who doesn't just model, but also DJs or sings."
And to keep Moda Rojo enticing I have decided to share with you one of the songs that I am currently obsessed with and cannot stop listening to: It's called Midnight City by M83. These guys were just at Fun Fun Fun Fest, which I sadly did not attend, but they are definitely a band to watch. Their old stuff is pretty wicked too, so listen to their fresh style. (Video from YouTube)
Oh and uhhhh. How could I forget to mention?! The new Florence + the Machine CD, Ceremonials is crazily amazing, so listen to the WHOLE thing. Do it, do it, do it! And on top of that, Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto is AWESOME TOO. Especially Princess of China. Love it.
*If you haven't noticed, my writing style has slightly changed for this post. I decided to do just an rather colloquial post today because...well just because.
Now on to some fashion news: Versace for H&M anyone? It's redicioulosly awesome. Too bad I don't live in a city that has an H&M. Thanks Austin. The videos of the runway show look super cool, and I really wish I could have gone...One day, one day.
The Whitney Port Protege in partnership with BlackBerry Challenges are coming along just great. Right now I am finishing up my second challenge and partaking in them has been super fun. Not to mention that I am OBSESSED with the BlackBerry Bold that they sent me! Plus it allows me to expose myself to even more elements of fashion, which we all know I love--le duh!

I am so honored and excited to be part of the #BBMChallenge where I might have the chance to meet Whitney Port and be her Protege! We have received our first challenge and even though I am flooded in homework, I am so excited to be able to compete in the following challenges! I received my new BlackBerry Bold and it is such an awesome phone, I am obsessed! Stay tuned for more details as I will be updating my blog as the challenges progress!!
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...)
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!
...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!
