DROP Dead Sexy Blue
I tried to get the perfect shot. Yeah Yeah Yeah, I usually ask people but right before Ibiza, I was in Madrid and I got A LOT of NOs! Therefore, my self-esteem was a little low. This girl wasn't beachy looking but her attitude and style was strong! Simple but the accessories and attitude stood out! Leopard skinny belt, bright red twisted headband, and sexy backless top.
IBIZA Rocks!
How to end a family summer tour around Europe before heading back to Florence to pack all my bags and start a new life and internship in NYC? .... GO TO IBIZA!
Yep! That's what I did! I didn't think I was going to be shooting there...but I forgot how fabulous girls look when going for a great beach look. It's actually my favorite! Being from tropical cities, I love short dresses, maxi dresses, shorts, and high heels ;) By far, the best and unexpected city for fashion!
Add a little RAWRRRR!
GOLD Accessories accented by the SUNSET
BELT the FLORALS!
Milanese in Berlin
Where are you from? - Milan
No wonder you all look so gooood.
I almossst got a no to shoot them but then I said I was living in Florence.
Then he wanted to take a pic of me while I was shooting them.
Thanks...I guess.
London, UK
Being in Europe, You can see that Florence has the men, Milan has the models, Berlin has the laid back style, Paris hardly has any fashion ( seriously, the ONE woman I thought was worth a picture could not be photographed because I was on the bus - dammit! Plus I'm just disappointed by Paris, I don't even want to get into it ), Madrid & Barcelona have mixed brights .... but London has it ALL! I only have 3 photos ... 2 tourists and 1 Brit .. but I saw a lot of great looking people (men & women)! They house great stores ... so there is no wonder why people look so damn good!
The girls. First picture, I love her striped blazer and gray bow pants...the bow got me! The second girl, I just like her bag! I've been on the search for the perfect bucket bag (since I can't afford Alexander Wang and my bright purple from Las Pepas broke) ... I like hers cause its reminds me of mine - it's SHINY!

Farewell Florence
It's 5:55am and I'm at the Florence airport waiting for the Tax Refund office to open. I'm still sweating from carrying down 5 bags (including my gigantic "purse") down 4 flights of stairs...F*CK! I've been stressing for days that my bags weren't going to make it pass through with the weight limit but they did...each on the EXACT 20kg limit! ufffff! Thank God! I didn't want to pay 100 euros for a stupid 6kg overweight difference.
Last night, was .... terrrrrrible! I don't if its me being anxious or stressed but I made myself sick! 1st of all, something happened to my eye! my eye! its being stinging and I can hardly see. 2nd, I was so busy running last minute errands that I didn't eat and that led to one of the worst headaches (migrane i think) of my life! It was so bad that when I was at my last dinner with my friends...I threw up :( ..... and it was the BEST kind of dinner! It was sushi! My favoriteeeee! and Icecream...and Potatoe & Spinach Ravoli! ... DAMNNIT! I'm so mad at myself for not eating! I ruined my last night! .... However, my friends there were amazing! The ones that have truly meant something to me were there (except Crystal, who's with her sister...but its ok..she called me after) .... You know who you are. Florence and Polimoda could not have been the same without you 5... Thank for everything! Thank you for the nights out in Venice & MIlan, wine nights, Colleberetto & YAB, Twice, shopping trips, lunch & dinner dates, helping me to "turn the page", listening to me cry & bitch, Chinese dinner, and of course through the school drama!
I know I'll see my girls again...for sure in NYC because that's where were are meant to be...a tarot card reader doesn't have to tell us this... I KNOW we belong there!
As for Florence, It's not you...It's me. I want a bigger, better, livelier city...so I'm leaving you for NYC. You were kinda of a bore....but I'll just think of it as a longgg vacation. Thanks anyway...I know you'll find someone better.
P.S. I just got $52 from the tax refund WOOT WOOT! jajajajaj I just had to share that! :P
Pss. Crystal !!! I don't have a picture with you! WTF??!! :S :S Megha, I think you it on your camera...let me know! ;)

Barcelona, Spain
Madrid vs Barcelona? I pick Barcelona for food, clothes, shops, nightlife, people, and everything else! Here are some looks (and bag) I liked ... but I'm pretty sure they were all tourists and not Spanish.
Street Style: Barcelona, Spain
A couple I met at my hotel in Barcelona. First thing he said to me was "Did you see my Gucci shoes!?" hahahaha so cute! They were very happy I photographed them. I thought they looked great. Two fashionable best buds from London :)
Spotted!
One of my 1st shots (or spottings) in Madrid was of my favorite print...LEOPARD rawrrrrrrrrr! I can't get enough it, specially now that fall is coming - it's all over the place and a MUST have classic print. My mom just bought a bag at Topshop and I just bought another top at Zara - we cannot get enough! We love it! I think I'm finally going to give in to the LV leopard scarf or Tory Burch ballerina flats for this fall :) Alaia & Mulberry have some amazing bags & of course Dolce & Gabbana could not disappoint and stuck to their print this season.
SJP loves her LV scarfs ....
Mulberry Fall 2010 Ad Campaign (Look at all that leopard! ... in the words of Rachel Zoe, "I Die!"... I want everything here!)
I couldn't find my mom's new leopard bag on Topshop.com - but I found this other one for 50 Brit pounds.
Barcelona Loves Desigual
2nd Stop: Barcelona, Spain
2 Words: Desigual Overload! .... I had never heard of Desigual till I came to Florence and saw them at mt first Pitti Uomo. Now, I love color, shapes, patterns, flowers, etc .... but these people GO CRAZY with this! You walk into the store and its too loud! I'm talking about their music... it's just crazzy! It's like grandma making me a quilt but on an acid trip and calling it a dress. OMG you should see their "blazers" - "clase tripeo"!! I just don't like. but everyone in Barcelona LOVES it! Even the tourists. If you aren't familiar, here's the site http://www.desigual.com/ and here are a few shots.
European Summer
As you may have noticed...I've been absent for a very long time. Sorry :S but I was on vacation! woot woot! with my beautiful parents ... but although I was on vacation through Europe that doesn't mean I didn't stop and enjoy the fashionable view.
First Stop: Madrid, Spain
I saw 2 bags I loved! and both completely different. The 1st one just reminds me of a Chloe 'Darla' bag and I think I would prefer this one over the Chloe tote. The 2nd one is just orange! bright! and it has bows on the side! So cute! :) It looks cheap and plastic but I think its the flash that makes it look bad; an Asian girl was carrying it so I highly doubt it was bad quality.

Good News! Good Luck! GOOD GOOD GOOD!
After applying to countless jobs in NYC, Florence, L.A., Miami, and London. I finally chose the right one! There were a few places I would have died to work for but at the end I think the right internship found me and I found them as well. I was offered and accepted an internship for a PR firm in NYC called Shout Social. They are small but something tells me this feels very good! ... I actually turned down 2 other internships for prestigious companies in NYC while I waited for SS to tell me the good news I was hoping to hear.
Having worked for a small business, I think choosing this new and small company, I will be surrounded by a lot more dedication, responsibilities, and most of all experience! Because I do not have any professional PR or fashion experience.
This actually all happened while my parents were here! The day they arrived 3 companies emailed me for job interviews! It was like my luck had changed or just having the positive energies and love from my parents made me forget the stress and take it a little easy with the interviews.
I am beyond happy! I wanted PR and I got it! I wanted NYC and I got it!
Thank you to everyone who has had me in their thoughts and prayers! I love you all!

They also have facebook & twitter ;)

Fresh Whites
Besides RED and it being hot here. No one forgets their WHITEs. I'm not a big fan of the all white look (unless its my wedding dress) but after seeing soo much white today I think I'm having a change of heart ... or style. We'll see, I'll give it a try. I just love color too much ....
