Thursday, June 19

It's been a while! I'm not very good at keeping regular with blog posts yet, but I'll get better with time! Anyways, today was a craaaazy day because not only did I work for like the whole day (I'm young still, 8 hours is a lot to me!) but we also had the fashion speaker series. Here's what I wore today:

 You guys have seen like my entire back yard now. 

 Shout out to my mom's shadow.

 Obsessed with these fab Aldo flats that I got from Zappos! They were the last pair in stock in my size so I had to pounce on them (plus-They were on sale!) 

 Also so obsessed with this fantastic red canvas satchel from Gypsy Warrior. I really needed a new purse and this was a great transition from my yellow one into a new color with details to keep it interesting. It's like a tiny bit too small for my taste but I can make it work (:

 Super cute photo of my shoes because since I have an iPhone and an Instagram I'm a photographer just like all the other white girls haha

Also, today at work we had D'Wayne Edwards, founder of Pensole Footwear Academy and former shoe designer for the Jordan company in to give a class about Product Design. It's really cool being this young and being able to learn about things like this. D'Wayne is also really cool and down to earth. He hung out at Stitch Factory a little after that day and was talking to a bunch of people and he gave me a lot of tips about starting a career because he knows I just graduated. He's so positive and helpful, and will tell you how it is! 

Stitch Factory also had it's monthly Fashion Speaker Series talks as well tonight! Elaine Pow, Julia Lovallo and Chelsey Hall were that night's speakers. They all had really interesting talks and Elaine really inspired me about paying attention to the detail in the branding of my future ideal company that I want to have. Idk yet for sure but I think I've figured out what I want to do with my future Fashion Merchandising degree. We'll see. Hopefully I'll just get ridiculously famous and rich soon and not have to worry about it haha.

Anyways, that's it! Keep checking back for more updates, I'm going to try to post a whopping 2 posts next week! 

Monday, June 9th

Hi all! Today was a fairly busy day with trying to relax in the morning but also having work and a photo shoot back to back. I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I'm an aspiring actress and model. The easiest way for me to get better (personally) at acting and modeling is to actively be in front of a camera practicing. Anyways, here was my outfit today:

Look back @ it

Cheese!!

My mom rocks at taking photos

It was SUCH a gorgeous day in Vegas. Look at those clear blue skies! Clear skies days are my favorite days. I am CRAZY for this halter top! It is definitely one of my favorite recent purchases. I got this from sameoldchic.bigcartel.com. Courtney is the owner, and an avid blogger as well (thestyleplaylist.blogspot.com) and is my style icon and inspiration for creating Style Savoir. Everything she sells in her shop is awesome! I highly recommend her. My shorts are from the good ol thrift shop; not Plato's this time lol but Goodwill! It's more hit or miss there but sometimes I get lucky and score gems like these shorts that I love oh so much. They were too big and a little too long when I first got them, but my sweet, loving mother darted the back to take the waist in and folded and sewed the bottom of them for me. You'll all see a photo of my parents and sister soon enough (:

Anyways, work today was pretty rushed (mondays are shipping days for Bow and Drape items--always some sort of crazy) and after we got all of our orders shipped out, one of the seamstresses asked me if I shipped out a shirt that should have had a pocket on it, because she just realized that she forgot to put a pocket on it. I was honestly so irritated at first because Bow and Drape at Stitch Factory is ultimately my responsibility and if something gets shipped out wrong it's ultimately my fault. But in the end, we got the problem solved even though I should have definetley double checked everything that went out to make sure it was all accurate. Oh well, you live and learn and being 17 I sure have a lot of living and learning to catch up on. You'll get a post later on about what the heck it means when I say I'm in charge of Bow and Drape, stay tuned lol. 

Having to fix my previous error for work made me about 10 minutes late for my photo shoot with Richard (he rocks check him out at www.rjplv.com),  a photographer I had worked with previously that had asked me to model for him again in a test shoot. I got there at 6:25 and we left at 10:45. A solid 4+ hours of shooting but I had a lot of fun. When I'm modeling I try to be goofy with the photographer so that we both get comfortable with each other and can preform at the best we can. We both had a lot of fun and we got some seriously quality photos out of it. He also brought his polaroid camera (I LOVE POLAROIDS SO MUCH!!!!) and snapped some so super cute shots of me. Its funny because I can take as many selfies as I want and look demented but right when someone else is taking the photo I am all of a sudden super photogenic. It's so weird haha. 

One of the outfits for a really cool lighting test (an actual okay selfie--high five to myself)

Some fun polaroids! (bonus-my feet at the bottom lol)

Absolutely obsessed with these two. So darn cute! Not to toot my own horn but HAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!

Tupac never died. He "died" in 96, I was born in 96, not a coincidence. (I am the reborn Tupac. You should hear me rap along to Iggy Azalea.)

Tomorrow should be great because my older sister Nikki comes home!!! Yay!!! Let me know in the comments if you have any family coming home soon, Nikki's coming in for my Graduation on Wednesday. Can't wait to have my partner in crime back with me! (Hi Nikki if you're reading this)
