Sunday.

It has totally been a while since the last time I posted a quote. I feel like this is a perfect Sunday to post a quote because I just had a really great week and I am so excited for what the future has to offer especially this Summer! 


I hope your week was good and your upcoming week is better!

Big News!! (For me Anyway)

Guess who has an internship for the summer?? This girl!! 


I am not interning at DVF, like I was hoping at first. Instead, I am interning at Trish McEvoy Cosmetics over the Summer and I think it will be a far better fit. It is what I would call a luxury cosmetics and skin care company. I am getting paid and I am also will receive a stipend for product! I am so excited! I had the interview this past Tuesday and I am so thrilled and grateful that they think I will be an asset to the company. I owe my cousin indefinitely, who has worked there for years already, because she got the interview for me and put a really good word in for me.
I am also excited that I will likely have, in my opinion, interesting content for the Summer since I will be in the city all the whole time. At home it is a slower pace and I feel like I would take much longer to come across interesting content to post about.

Below is the outfit I wore to the interview:







OK! So the last little thing I want to tell you is kind of ironic because of where I will interning over the Summer, but still exciting and it is that E.L.F opened up a flagship store Greenwich Village. Those of you who are not familiar with E.L.F, it is a SUPER AFFORDABLE makeup line and has every thing you would ever need. Most of its products are below $5.00, some palettes and sets are more expensive than that but you are getting a deal with those too. I went to the store today to check it out and it is lovely. It looks way more expensive than it really is. They just need to work on their placement of prices, but their employees were so nice and super helpful! I bought about 7 or 8 things and it was under $20.00. I will be going back for sure and soon!

Here is a photo I snuck, since most stores don't allow photography and I didn't ask if I could take it! (I know I am such a wild child ; ] ) Sorry that it a little fuzzy.

I had so much fun doing this!

I love bold earrings, they are my go to accessories. They instantly dress up any look making it 100x more interesting. Below are a few of my favorite pieces. 
In all I pretty much love every thing they have created. They are a little (a lot) bit out side what I normally spend and have ever spent on jewelry, but someday!

Sunday is my Fun Day

Today my lovely mother came in to the city so we could spend the day together. She arrived just before nine and just hopped on the train headed home at 5:15. We went to church ( C3 Manhattan, check it out if you are in to that sort of thing.) , walked the Brooklyn Bridge, I accidentally stole a news paper (Sorry Starbucks), we waited on line for a hour at Shake Shack (always worth the wait), and then rushed back to the train station. At the train station though, I met a really lovely women from upstate New York, dropping her mom off to head back up state as well, who went to FIT like I do and is now working at Diane VonFurstenberg. 
She gave me her card and told me to contact her about anything "personal or professionally or whatever". I plan on taking her up on that and hopefully it will turn in to something. It is always a pleasure to meet kind, friendly people who are making it in the fashion industry. 

Walking the Brooklyn Bridge.

The fancy-schmancy business card of my new acquaintance.

Things I am Loving!!



I needed a change as of recently and I decided that change would be wearing lip stick.  I usually go for a hair cut when I need a change, but lipstick is way cheaper and less of a commitment. So I picked up this Rimmel matte lipstick and have been wearing it non-stop. It is fairly long lasting and it smells really good, which I was surprised about. I love it and I am eager to get my hands on another shade from their matte collection.
I know nothing about make-up really. I know I like to wear it and I know that enjoy putting it on but I don't know anything much more than that. I do know that I love this BB Cream from Rimmel. I don't even know how to apply it , I have been using a makeup sponge and that has been working just fine. BUT I still love it and I bet I would love it even more if I knew what I was doing. It has good coverage and feels lightweight. If you know anything about BB Creams please comment below. I would love to learn more.
I got these darling studs at a second hand store and I love them. Not much more to say about them than that! 
These too are from a second hand store. How cool are they?! I can't wait to wear them. 
This nail polish is the main reason I decided to write this post. I put it on last Wednesday and took it off today (the next Thursday) just as it was starting to chip. I love the color and I really love how long it stayed on with out chipping! It reminds me of a fish scales or something aquatic. I don't think that is appealing to most people but it is to me!

The Weekend

This weekend I went to  a book store in Brooklyn that was so indie that I was mildly discriminated and passively refused service, being the mainstream person I am. I am being 100% serious. 
I thought I was dressed the part but the patrons of said bookstore saw right through my hipster exterior to my mainstream soul. 
Aside from their poor service, the book store was lovely. It was a bright and airy store filled with the smell of old used books which they were selling. Someday I will go back when I perfect my hipster disguise.
Anyhow, once my friend and I realized that we were not their target customer, to say the least, we went back to the borough we knew would accept us. We strolled around the farmers market in Union Square  Park where we were welcomed with open arms. Not really, but we felt like we were as we sipped on iced mint tea sweetened with maple syrup.
