When life brings you...

Have you ever thought that things were so surreal that they actually in time became real? Maybe one day you are in a place with a very slow placed lifestyle and then the next you are literally asking a famous actor to bring YOU hors d'oeuvres at a Resort 2014 preview fashion show at a prestigious designer's private house. This is exactly how my whole entire summer has been and I have enjoyed it all. While this may not be the exact same scenario for you all, I am sure many of you can relate in some way. There are so many things we think that are surreal, impossible, and maybe not even meant for us to experience. But honestly, who are we to say that? So, when life brings you opportunities, take them and run! You never know where you will end up.

Oh, Navy and White

Navy and white seem to be on my mind a lot lately. Why, you might ask. I have been spending a lot of time picking out decor for my first apartment this year at school. I have just fallen in love with these two colors. Together, they are simply the definition of classic chic. Decorating an apartment, or even simply a bedroom, is a commitment. It demonstrates a part of you and is yet another way to let your creativity shine through. Here are some ideas that have been running through my mind. We shall see how it all comes together!

Hey, Mrs. DJ

I have found myself recently fascinated with the new DJ'ing trend in the fashion industry. It amazes me how many models, celebrities, and even full-time college students are becoming hits as DJ's AND respected for their style and image in the fashion industry. DJ'ing is yet another way to let loose, express your creativity, and have fun all while entertaining others. Harley Viera Newton is an amazingly talented DJ, former college student, model, bass and guitar player, and fashion icon. This girl has got it all! She is just one of the many new and respected young DJ's in the fashion industry. Check out a promo she did with Sebastian.

Live in Love

Have you ever been to a wedding that was just absolutely breath-taking? I'm talking about a wedding that would be found on Pinterest,  constantly "pinned" by many. This weekend I had the opportunity to attend one of those. Now, this wedding is just the start to a great journey of a life in love for my cousin Lauren and her new husband, DJ. Lauren and DJ's wedding was truly perfect. It was not only a night for two families to become united, but also a big "family reunion" for my large, Italian side of the family. Having this large of a family, it was truly amazing to be surrounded by so many people and  experience this event together. It is now a memory we will all cherish forever. From the beautiful hand-crafted Mexican-style tile table settings and the Smore's bar, to the picture-taking booth and the outrageous view at the resort in beautiful Santa Barbara, much thought went into each and every little detail. And it truly showed! Cheers to Lauren and DJ and a weekend we will never forget!

Dancing with LV

There is something about dance that makes me smile. It brings me back to my childhood. Growing up a dancer, I was able to express myself in one of my many passions. Dance allowed me to not only experience many various ways to move my muscles and gain flexibility, but also it instilled in me a sense of responsibility and structure. Louis Vuitton's online ad presents a beautiful choreographed dance in combination with product placement. Seeing this ad brought me back to my childhood and allowed me to reminisce my dancing days. This ad was beautifully done. It is so unique and creative.
