Rock Your Monday!

Monday, May 9th, 2011

As another week begins, I’m becoming more aware of how I need to make my time more productive and accomplish my goals even if they’re small. I read this amazing article on how to set smart daily goals and it really helps me think about how I want to use my time in a different way.

Here’s a question I borrowed: What is the one BIG thing you want to accomplish today? (Don’t let excuses get in your way!)

My Answer: I’m going to talk to the admission counselor about enrolling in the graphic design program and taking courses to pursue my passion further. That’s it.

Weekend Forever

Friday, May 6th, 2011

Does anyone notice how time is flying by so fast these days? I’ll be working and then look at my watch and go “My Goodness, it’s 2:00PM already!”. Do I sound like an old lady when I say “My Goodness”? That’s one of my favorite words. Anyway, whenever Friday rolls around, I feel a little bit of relief because I can finally have the weekend all to myself to finish things I’ve been putting off.

Live from Australia

Wednesday, May 4th, 2011

I look forward to Australian Fashion Week otherwise known as Rosemount Australian Fashion Week (RAFW) as much as New York Fashion week! It’s a stunning visual treat for the eyes as well as a great inspiration for the upcoming summer! Here are my favorite picks: If there was one collection from RAFW that I know I’m going to wear, it’s Bec and Bridge. It’s one of those shows that make me say “This is soooo me!”. Bec and Bridge Spring/Summer 2011Very innovative use of digital cut-outs, beautifully cut dresses and fresh prints, Zimmermann is definitely one of the best shows! Zimmermann Spring/Summer 2011What can I say? The perfect summer clothes! Little Joe Woman Spring/Summer 2011. Would you look at these outfits?! The Australian streetstyle is as enticing as the runway show itself!

Were you excited to see the collections? Who are your favorites? xoxoxoxoo
