breathe in, breathe out.

Listening to: "Mirrors" by Justin Timberlake (I'm addicted currently)

Sorry for the long hiatus. I am back now . . . hopefully.

This summer, I had no excuse to not be blogging. I had plenty of time outside of work and hanging out with friends and family. But this past semester I was working two jobs on top of taking 17 credit hours. I was trying to balance having a social life and sleep with all of that and I usually only got one of those accomplished (school work and job stuff).

But this semester I am only taking 14 credit hours on top of my two jobs here on campus. I am trying to find a internship for this summer though. That process feels like a job in itself. I think I should be getting a credit in school for email writing currently. I probably send at least 5-10 emails a day for my jobs and to try and find an internship for this summer. 

Unfortunately, I did not realise until this past summer that I want to do public relations. I also did not let myself realise, until this summer, that I want to work in the fashion industry. So, needless to say, I am a bit behind on everything and I have some catching up to do.

I am hoping to start blogging more. That can only help me process everything better and give me a way to continually work on my writing even with a semi tight schedule. 

I am also hoping to actually start writing more on my fashion blog. I feel almost a bit ridiculous (okay, I'm a bit more than a bit ridiculous) having four blogs. I have this blog, a fashion blog on Blogger which can be found here (I need to make some changes to the layout of that blog  and hopefully start doing daily/every other day outfit posts), and I have two Tumblr accounts. One of the Tumblr blogs is a personal blog with random rantings about my day and pictures while the other is a strictly fashion tumblr which can be found here. I love adding to that blog daily. Looking at other fashion blogs makes me beyond happy and it also makes me wish I didn't have a college student budget.

Here's to a new semester (even though it's almost half over), more blogging, and internship hunting.

Listening to: "Take Me (As You Found Me)" by Anberlin


With all of this extra time I've had during J-term, I have spent much more time than normal looking at Pinterest and fashion blogs. 


While browsing pictures on Pinterest the other day, I found these beautiful shoes. I then linked back to the blog they were found on, only to find out the person who posted the picture below did not know where the shoes could be found.

So my search began. I looked closely at the shoes to find that they have red soles. That could only mean one thing: Christian Louboutin. Of course that means that the shoes aren't cheap. I searched and searched to find knock-offs that looked very close to the originals. The closest I could find were the shoes below from Target. Unfortunately, they are not the exact same... and they are only sold online.

Since the woman in charge of the blog I found the shows on did not know where to find the shoes, I posted a link to the shoes for her only to get this response: "Thanks Diana for looking this up… I guess I could skip a couple of nights out and do the $159! ;)."

People can be crazy when it comes to fashion. Especially when the shoes are normally $845 when new from Christian Louboutin. 

Speaking of Louboutin... these 8-inch heels are a pair that the designer made to be auctioned off. The proceeds were to go to the English National Ballet.

Shoes are not the only things that people will seem to spend a fortune on these days. 

This German-made clock will cost the customer an arm and a leg. But isn't it nifty? The things that people come up with these days.
