long time no post
So as you can see we haven't been too good on this whole keeping up with the blog thing... Who knows maybe it will be a once a year kind of thing. :D Anyways here's what's up in my fashion world.
1. applying to schools for fashion design
2. getting my fing portfolio together (stresser)
3. off course browsing Elie Saab's new collection (love that man)
4. frequenting style.com for fall collections (why you ask? because fall clothes are the best next to evening wear!)
5. ummm shopping it's a problem, more for Simedar than for me but still
6. working at Nordstrom
7. planning our school fashion show scheduled for April 18th at 7:00pm (a little early you say... NEVER)
ohhh and i almost forgot! can i just say i saw the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibit when i was in New York and it was so worth the 5 hour wait and of course i bought the book, if you didn't get a chance to go see it i highly recommend getting the book. That man was a genius and true while most only know the name because of the princess who sported his dress for the highly publicized wedding (if you aren't getting this reference it's Kate Middleton), he will forever be remembered in the fashion world and will truly be missed

September Issue!
Hey guys :)
Soo, the best part of going back to school...
there isn't.
The bast part of this time of year...
the SEPTEMBER ISSUE!!
I just got my W magazine September issue and when it came I just hugged it. They are always so big and luscious and when I get them I think about the hours I will spend on my bed flipping, circling and reading the wonderful things that these book size magazines hold.
I can't wait til my vogue comes, I was at the store today and saw that the beautiful Halle Berry is on the cover!
While I wait, I'm surfing the internet and look what I found through weardrobe,
So basically this website is a stylist's dream; you get to shop a lot of clothes, put them on the digital model and you could do it for hours on end!!
I've already done two outfits and I want them hhhah it's almost just more temptation for me.
Til next time,

Fashion Show!
Hello people :)
Soooooooo this summer I've been taking a Fashion Class at Columbia College. It was a lot of fun and I'm really glad I did it. My teachers were Bruce Woods and Barbara Samuels and they were amazing, I think just hearing everything that they have done and their experience in the Fashion Industry has inspired me.
During the whole class we were working up to our final Fashion Show. Our theme was Recycling and our goal was to show how you could incorporate that into Fashion. I think it turned out really well and I had so much fun. Here's what I showed at the show, enjoy!
dress made out of target bags
(if only my eyes were open this would be my favorite picture)
dress made out of post its and shirt made out of paper clips
If anyone knows how to get in touch with Target or Lady Gaga (I feel like Gaga would like my paperclip shirt). Please tell me cause I would love to sell my designs.
Til next time, SJRP.

That First Step Forward
Hey Bloggers,
In our first post, Renee and I mentioned that our motivation for this blog was seeing girls younger than us moving forward with their lives while we continued to dream with no action. I finally decided to get up and take a few preemptive steps toward my future. I had one of my very talented friends take headshots of me. Im looking forward to sending these in to a modeling agency and see where this takes me :) Here is a sneak peak at a few of the headshots.

Investments Are Good
Hey everyone, it's Renee!
So, I was flipping through the pages of my teen vogue last night and at the end is my favorite part, the "Shopping Spree" section. I always love what's there and it's a must that I have a pen in hand when I'm looking at it.
This issue I've been really impressed with Teen Vogue. From the eight page spread of the "School House Rock" photo shoot to the "Shopping Spree" pages they have defiantly economized. I know I always see something I have to have and when I look at how much it is, I just get sad cause a couple hundred is just a little out of my budget. But this issue I looked, jumped for joy and went straight to see if I could buy it!
So I've already gotten the Olsenboye for jcpenny canvas buckle tote in tan and I love it
and I even found another bag i liked when I was shopping
it's this Military Backpack, I thought it was a pretty good investment
Next on my list,
this cute wildfox top at http://www.wildfoxcouture.com/shop-now/boardwalk-unisextee.html
Then,
this shirt/dress, I wanted it as soon as I saw it on http://www.fallie.blogspot.com/
once my paycheck comes I'm going straight here http://www.deathcomesclose.bigcartel.com/product/n-433-dose-of-death-t-shirt
I feel like I'm already back to school shopping, is that bad? I still want summer
Till next time,

That Perfect Pair
You know how you always have that one either pair of shoes or jeans that you go to when you don't know what you want to wear. Youf favorite pair that you always feel great in. But shopping for that one things is hard and long and I just get tired.
And I hate when you buy something you literally wear it for one day and haven't worn it since.
Like Simedar said, Seventeen was all about jeans this month it was almost overwhelming. I can't figure out what body shape I am and then there's a million brands they have in there that are the best something. I just have never know or learned how to shop for that perfect pair in fact my favorite pair that fits amazing was a pair I got free at a huge concert thing I went to. I am determined though this year to find that SUPER FREAKING AWESOME pair of jeans or pairs (if I'm being ambitious). A pair that not only is comfortable but also a good price point. Then after I accomplish that, I'm going after some jeggings!
I might have already my jeggings!!
Hopefully I find my jeans :/
Till next time,
SJRP
