Summer Time

I don't know where you all live, but if you don't live in Texas during the summer, consider yourself very fortunate!  It has been in the 100's for a few weeks now, and the weather is looking the same for this next week as well.  It is horrid to be outside for more than 30 seconds, and I feel like I'm getting a sunburn just from walking to my car from class.  Basically the only place to be is by the pool, or rather in the pool at all times.

I always have the hardest time finding bathing suits that fit me, and they usually cost more money then I can justify spending on a bathing suit.  $60 for the top and $60 for the bottom...no way.  So I am looking for the cheapest suits I can find.  Bathing suits are a fashion statement, just like the latest shoes, handbags, etc.  I always want to buy a new one every summer, even though there is nothing wrong with my old ones.  So far, this summer I have bought 2, with mix-matching in mind.  I am trying to buy basic bottoms and printed tops and vice-versa.  Even though my mother would drop $200 to see me wear a one-piece, I just can't see myself laying by the pool in a small dress.  The point is to get some sun! Sorry mom.  Here are a few suits I have bought so far and they are all under $20.

New York!

I went to New York as part of a summer class with my University about a week and, and it was very exciting, and we met with a lot of people in the fashion industry, like Style Sight, PRPS Jeans, Google, Gap, Tommy Hilfiger and many more companies who gave us great advice as we enter the fashion industry.  All in all it was educational and fun! Here is a picture overload of my trip :)
