Cirque Du FIT

As if its not obvious by now, I'm a fashion student. Just take a look at my sidebars... I go to FIT (the Fashion Institute of Technology) in New York City, and its completely 100% the BEST FASHION SCHOOL. Trust me on this one- Donna Karan and Michael Kors are both Alumni, as well as many others.

Well, although I love my school, I also love my boyfriend, who (obviously) doesn't go to FIT. He lives in Hoboken, about 10 minutes outside of the city. I practically live in his dorm room. His friends are my friends, and when I walk around his campus, its a rare occasion that I do not know at least 50% of the people I pass by.

The real Cirque du Soleil- Our FIT adaptation was a bit different, but just as fabulous!

So, since I'm almost never at FIT, I'm pretty out of touch with campus events. In reality, FIT's campus life isn't really that big anyway. I mean, who really wants to hang around at some lame movie night when you could be out clubbing at Webster Hall or Pacha? No one. So, it was quite surprising - to myself and many others - that I actually attended an FIT event yesterday.

The event was Cirque Du FIT, a carnival on 27th street between 7th and 8th Avenue. It was exclusive to FIT students only! I went with my friends Jen (City Style) and Sara (Sara Pollack). There was a fashion show, tye dying, Pita Grill, a chocolate fountain, Vitamin Water, and soooo much more- I tried a 'fried oreo' for the first time!!

Here's a picture of me that was taken at the event:

P.S. Like my dress? Well, I'm thrilled to say that you can look forward to my first "What I Wore" post in the near future, featuring my entire outfit!

Stylish Blogger Award!

Hey guys! I was just presented this award by Angel of Fashionably Numb ! Check out his blog- I personally love it, and it's one of the first I began following! I'm completely, 100% honored to be receiving so much praise lately... It's great to know that people actually enjoy reading what I write! So, here are the 8 facts about me:

1. In 10th grade, I went through my first heartbreak. He didn't like me, but it was OK, because I later learned he was GAY.
2. I've been dating my first (and only!) boyfriend for over two years now, and I've never been happier.
3. In fact, we just signed a lease yesterday for our first apartment together!
4. I always wanted to be a Buyer for Macy's, and I've planned on coming to FIT to major in Fashion Merchandising since I was 5. No joke.
5. It took my college English class (which I ended up getting a C- in!) to make me realize that I instead wanted writing to be my career.
6. My first internship, at JoonBug, is amazing, and opened my eyes to the wonderful world of beauty products.
7. Now, I plan to pursue a career as a Beauty Editor.
8. Last semester, I considered changing my major to Toy Design.

I choose to pass this award on to the following:
