I am Beautiful. I am ME

As you have all noticed,  I have not been able to sit down and chat with you all in a very long time. Yesterday was my last day in college and this morning I woke up, not only feeling successful but truly humbled. As I sit here, I start to reminisce on all the beautiful moments that I was able to experience throughout my four years in college. It is a pleasure to inform you that my senior project " I am Beautiful. I am ME!" was a complete success. To re-freshen your memories," I am Beautiful. I am ME!" was executed on April 28, 2012. It's mission was to encourage self- respect, self- empowerment, the acceptance of uniqueness and the celebration of being a young female through fun filled workshops. We had over 15 sponsors and the entire event was free of cost. The participants had a ball. The atmosphere was filled with smiles and laughter. It felt so wonderful to know that there are people in the world who still cherish the simple things in life. Please scroll below and check out the pics and video. Enjoy!

Fashionistas in Spain

I would like to apologize for not posting in so long. I've been in a total culture shock here in Barcelona. I am absorbing as much as possible and trying to learn my way around town. I totally love it here! I don't know if 4 months will be enough for me-but lets see how this goes.
As I walk down the streets, I can not help but notice how everyone here dresses so amazingly! I love how they use so many different styles and wear their outfits with so much confidence! I've been trying to take pictures of fly pedestrians but my camera just literally died on me, so I'm taking it to the Camera Doctors. lol. Here is a picture of what is currently in:

People really dress like this daily...I am not lying...Wonderful right?

1st Outfit: Red looks amazing on any complexion. It is a great bright color to mix in if you are not very open on wearing colors. A red piece in an all black outfit creates instant glam. A flowy skirt paired with dark stockings. I have a new love with wearing pumps and dark stockings. a. I am not going to be cold b. It looks absolutely Chic and c. It smoothens the outfit out- in which you can wear it during the day and during the night.  You can play around with a biker jacket.
2nd Outfit:  This is one of the easiest looks from the four- I believe. This outifit consists of a t-shirt, skinny jeans but you can wear jeggings, booties, a jacket( biker jacket, cropped sweater) and since its cold- put a cute scarf on. This outfit is supposed to look like you didn't work hard at putting it together. You can play around with different textures and colors! Be creative
3rd Outfit: Okay. I am not going to lie. This is the outfit that I might think twice about wearing. I love everything except the harem pants. To this day, I still have not found harem pants that fit me well. I don't know but harem pants are not for every body. Therefore, you need to try different styles and see which one works best for you. But besides that, this is another easy outfit. There are many things that you can modify because its colder in the States than here. The jacket can be subsituted to a fur jacket ( keeps you warm and looks cute) Instead of the heels, you can wear booties. The outfit is a bit too plain for me. I would wear more accessories to make the outfit pop and I would wear my hair up. I would also add bright leather gloves.
4th Outfit: Although this outfit may seem like she got dressed in the dark- I LOVE IT. Its so bad ass! I love using different textures and colors- it sets you apart. I am all for being different. However, if you care what people will say about you- then don't wear it. Being different will cause people to hate- that's why confidence is needed. Here in Spain, no one cares. Fashion is self expression. Fashion is from head to toe- including your attitude which is something that I admire. I would add black tights because its cold- but I would keep the booties. Although different colors and patterns are used, they all go perfectly because the dress is neutral.

Please comment below and let me know what you want me to talk about next time!!!!

ADÉU !
