My Beautiful Country

by 5:45 PM

Cheers to an unexpected trip down to DR...
Hope all you have been having a fantastic week just like I have been. 
Left the U.S on Thursday at around 7:30 to come to my beautiful country!
A lot of people have been telling me how random it is, which yes, I know. "Why now?" On Wednesday, it's my  grandmothers anniversary of her one year of leaving this world. Unfortunately, she passed here and it's been almost 7 years since I've been to DR so here I am today. My emotions are all rattled up, but it's so great being able to see all my family and feeling like I'm with my grandma as well as just feeling at home all around. 
Of course, my grandma was one to always be the first to be ready to party so this entire trip couldn't be all about just sitting in a room and dreading actions, instead about remembering all the good. My mom, Khloé (my sissy), and myself have been to dinner a few times already and just going from family to family sleeping over. Today we also took a trip to the beach called Juan Dolio with my uncle and my other grandma; fabulous time with my fabulous family!!


So right now I'm on my way to dinner with some cousins, my uncles, mom, and of course Khloé and here is my outfit!







I'm so excited by the way to share this trip with you guys!! I have been doing videos and putting them together with edits and lots of love! The video will be up next Saturday!! Hope you guys have a fantastic week! I will finally be back to the U.S in this next week so I'll see you guys soon!

Khloe's First Birthday!!

by 4:52 PM

Happy Birthday Khloe!! (And happy Sunday everyone!) 
My little sissy's birthday was on Friday just like I told you guys yesterday on my blog post, but today was her birthday party! My little Khlo Khlo looked fabulous in her little tutu and customized shirt. Thank you so much to every one that wished her a happy birthday and especially those who made it to her birthday party! We love you guys!  


So my outfit today... It actually started off as just being a huge thought of "I don't know what I'm wearing". I didn't have enough time to go to the mall and buy a new outfit but thankfully I have Pinterest (if you don't have it GET IT!) I knew I wanted to wear these pants but had no idea with what and boom, searched it on Pinterest and it gave me a set of ideas. 
My favorite part about the fall is layering and being snuggled/comfortable. Since the birthday party was outside that was exactly what I had to do and this is what I ended up coming up with! 









Poncho: Croft & Barrow
Poncho w/ hoodie: LINQ
black long sleeve: under armour 
bottoms (culoettes): H&M
Socks: they are actually softball socks (shhhhh)
Shoes: H&M
Rings: Forever 21 


HAPPY BIRTHDAY KHLOE, I LOVE YOU! 

(stay tuned this week for "Look of the week")

College Visits

by 8:39 PM


College??? Yes, this is it. One more year and most of us are off to what everyone prefers to call it "the real world".. I hate using that phrase because then what are we in now? Possible in a bubble where we don't have to pay so much money (or any) to go to school and paying for textbooks and doing our laundry all the time and having mac and cheese for dinner and responsibilities and - oh wait yes.. the real world, I see it now...

Today, I went on a fabulous journey with a really close friend of mine who is into the same things I'm into and we went to an open house at LIM. If you ever get a chance to visit the college, you won't regret it. She asked me to come along with her on this adventure and I could not be more thankful! I mean then again how could anyone say no to the city?! I learned a lot of different things such as new majors to even what the "smallest" dorm rooms look like in the college. LIM is most definitely a school that I could potentially see myself in, there are so many options!!! Everyone we met was so nice and helpful and as all the students aid, their administrations have a huge impact on their kids which has benefited them all in such positive ways! I have a few more open houses coming up for different schools soon so I can't wait to share with you all the journeys. 

Hope everyone has been having a fabulous weekend just like I am! 

Very chilly today especially while it got later on in the day so layering up was one of the best decisions I have probably made all week, cheers to fall (even though it feels like winter)!!!










  
Jumper: H&M 
Black and white jacket: H&M
Scarf: it was a gift and there is no tag :(
Shoes: Steve Madden
Trench coat: H&M
Black mini bookbag: Coach
Watch: my best 8th-grade graduation gift( seen in previous posts) 

Although my little sissy turned 1 on Friday, tomorrow is her birthday party so I will most likely be sharing with you guys my outfit! HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND KHLO KHLO!!! 

The Harbor & Change

by 7:16 AM

"What leadership trip did you go on?" So a few hand-picked student from our school (WHS) got to go on a life-changing (some would argue) experience. Twenty of us got the privilege to go to Sayreville War Memorial High School to listen and interact with the amazing Mike Smith. This "professional teenager" -as he would call himself- talked to us on life, the good and bad. He talked to us about his experiences and little things we can do to make an impact on our generation. 
With the fashion club that we have started to create at our school, Mike Smith inspired the other members and I to start a drive as simple as socks. We need socks. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Every sock we collect (goal 100 socks- to start) and give it to the homeless. Smith does this with his skate for change non-profit. What he and many others do is skate around towns and cities and they give socks to the homeless. He explained that if you ever were to see a homeless person's foot, you would understand. Just imagine wearing the same sock, the same shoe, through all different weather conditions and all different climates.. rough, we get it. But we can change that! Something so small can impact a person's entire life. So this will be our task- a simple act of kindness. The task is this: any extra pairs of socks you have: YOU GIVE. 
This week also for the fashion club we will be starting 'Look of the Week' which I am very excited for! We will be taking pictures of some students and on Friday all of the members will meet and we'll hand pick a person and their picture will be posted on our bulletin board for the following week and a blog post on their outfit will be here too, every Saturday!

Big week this week and if anyone has any ideas, feel free to let us know! Don't forget: Meetings every Tuesday in the media center at 7:30!!! Tell your friends! 
To find out more about our sock drive stop by into the media center or ask one of our members!
You do not have to dress nice every-day in order to be in this club, we are just trying to do drives with clothing and get people together that enjoy the same thing, we'd love to see you there! 
"Let's make it happen!"
