Video flash-----BACK: Hugo Boss Summer 09

^ PART ONE


^PART TWO

Alright, this does remind me of fashion tv that used to air on style network in the States. It was so cheesy but filled my appetite of backstage shots and sneak peek interviews with the behind the scenes machines (production managers, hair stylists, make-up artists, etc.). This video puts me in a nostalgia of sitting by the tv at a young age, with my mom, watching the models traipse up and down the runway in clean cut designs which brings me to the subject of these videos, Hugo Boss. I enjoy Hugo Boss, always have. The fashion house seems so stream line. I notice I adhere to the classics and the ultimate designers that do not typically veer off of their stylistic path. Is this a bad thing? Oh no, am I doomed to be a boring person instead of the fashionista I have always wanted to be?! Can't be all that bad. Whatever happened to Style network. The Look for Less is a lame show and they know it.

Ps. I would like to give a much needed shout out to the Fashionisto and Heavy Metal Fashion for being awesome and entertaining my fashion commentary on their blogs for the past couple of weeks. I've tried to keep my mind off of my current situation and their blogs have helped, thanks guys!

Pride Fest!

Granted it was by accident that we all happened upon Pride Fest. It was a cast picnic to celebrate how well the play went. Thank all those who came! I promise to update with pictures more regularly, I haven't had a stable connection in a little while.

The 4th!

It was fun

Part 4 of 4: School's Out For Summer

My transformation, of sorts

My Senior Prom 2006

I used to be large that is to say I weighed more than I do now. I was never taunted for my weight but I could tell i was getting out of shape. Many goals were made but I found it hard to attain them. A year ago I wanted to be able to hike up a mountain.
A silly goal, I know, but I was able to achieve it. What was my secret? Eat when I was hungry and walking everywhere. I will say that loosing weight works differently for all people, and it is tough. It's also a good idea to work new techniques into your workout as you go on to prevent a plateau. I am starting to do some yoga in the morning to prevent this from happening same. It may be a little weird for me to talk about weight loss when most of the women (and young girls) who write fashion blogs are already quite slim. I love food and fashion and think it is important to have both in moderation. Since the summer is here the markets will be bustling with fresh fruits and veggies. Well here are a few before and afters.

Part 3 of 4: School's Out For Summer

Feet And Shoes

Louboutin of course; jak and jil blog

To me, summer means well kept feet and footwear. The Coveted blog really knows her pedicures. Her tutorial on home pedicures really helped me through the winter months but will keep my tootsies perfect for summer. Some think it is tedious to spend 30 min minutes to an hour on your nails but I look at it as a way to keep your body in good shape. Although I am still working on the latter point of this statement. I like experimenting with colors and mixing a matching. It is a way to get away with crazy trends. What are some of your favorite colors?

Unfortunately I was blessed with large feet (size 11). But have managed to find some neat things to dress my feet in. I haven't been able to find great wedges yet so the majority of my shoe wardrobe is dedicated to oxfords, boots, and plimsolls. A girl can dream of having a closet full of cute wedges in different shapes and colors. With the two job offers presenting themselves I might have them sooner than later. I spend some time drooling over things I want and shoes make the top of the list 80% of the time. I am promoting Barefoot Tess because they are headquartered in my home city of Baltimore and they manage to consistently put out a good product. They even have super small sizes! My mom makes purchases there every once and a while. If I had a sugar daddy I would shop there all the time and Nordstrom because they are the only places I know that have decent shoes.
