Internships Outfit and Ranting


So tomorrow I get to visit the Covington/Maple Valley Reporter to start working as an intern. I am quite excited because I might actually get to write stories for the paper. I'm extremely nervous because I don't know what wear. I didn't know if I should dress up or just wear jeans and a nice top. Remembering that first impressions mean everything I'm hitting a fashion road block.And after my meeting with one the editor i have to got Multi-care to meet get my eyes checked. I guess I'll wear my lucky skinny jeans with my studded blazer from Forever21.

New Year! New Inspiration!



Now that 2010 is winding down I've been thinking of my resolutions. Each year I create a life guide with fashion and beauty articles. It's my own way of trying to create a better me. I feel like 2011 is going to be a year of finding out about myself and where my priorities lie. 2010 went by so fast and I feel like I haven't made much of an impact. This year I want to commit to my resolutions. I feel like I've let other peoples perceptions create who I am and what I think of myself. In the fashion world there's no room for insecurity. I want to be the bitch that people would never expect not the crazy ass girl that everyone remembers from Kentwood and Mattson. I want to be the girl who has the experiences that everyone wishes they had (FASHION WEEK). The new Tishayla is focused and ready to make a name for myself in fashion and as a regular everywhere else I go in the world. I want to be the Tishayla everyone remembers no matter where I go. Fashion risks and hard work will be what gets me to Teen Vogue or Elle Magazine.

Seventeen Mag's Style Star 2010


As every Seventeen reader knows the December issue is always a recap of all the biggest style moments for the year. The lucky girl who wins the coveted honor always get to grace us with her presents on the cover. This years lucky winner is no one other than Ms. Taylor Swift. I personally don't care for her much anymore especially after the random VMA's performance about Kanye West with the old fashion TV. I never really particularly was a fan of her style. She dresses like a regular high school girl. Now some may consider that a good thing but I feel like her warobe is lacking some pizazz. Other than her decorative concert dresses with glitter detailing everywhere I think her everyday outfits are just boring. Maybe adding some edge to her might do the girl some good. Other than straighting your hair once in blue moon try some studs or something. And on that note Speak Now in my eyes is just Fearless Part. 2!!!!

Polyvore Virtual Closet


About 3 years ago my really good friend Shannon introduced me to website called Polyvore. In my definition it's a stylist's dream. You can create your own looks for celebrities and friends with everything from Vera Wang wedding dresses to vintage sunglasses. It's easy to create your own looks and layouts. For people who get into it as much I have its kinda like creating your open fashion publication and photo shoots. It's every fashionista dream. You simply type anything like "green prom dresses" and you'll find pages of items to pick from. As an aspiring Fashion Editor, Polyvore is a great way to broaden your horizons with different designers and style looks. I would recommend it to anyone who just simply loves fashion.

Fashion Internships and etc.


For the last 5 weeks I've emailing anyone in the Seattle fashion scene who's email I can get a hold of. I want to get more feel for the fashion industry before I take a leap of faith into it during college. I've been looking internships or volunteering at boutiques and fashion shows around the King County area. I got some emails back for working at Seattle Fashion Week but hopefully something else great comes up. I'm hoping and praying especially before I start doing college essays I can get a name for myself before NY!!!!!!! I will be working with the Covington Reporter as of yesterday! I'm mondo excited hopefully next year i can intern at The Seattle Times

Rings and Silver Bells


So everywhere I've gone for the past two weeks everybody I know has been rockin rings on every finger. I've always been a ring person but the most I've ever sported at one time was 1 or 2. But people have been mixing golds, silver, diamonds, and cocktail rings and I think it's fabulous. I know isn't really anything new but its first time I've noticed it since my mom did it back in the nineties. Maybe its just looks bad ass idk but know I'll be collecting rings instead of nail polish.

Earmuffs!?!


Yesterday while coming home from volunteering at the library I noticed that the lady sitting across from me on the bus was sporting a pair of earmuff. I didn't know this was something that was worn by adults but as I start researching them online I realize they are actually quite common winter wear. I haven't rocked a pair since I was probably the age of 6 but their quite a differ from the knit hats we've scene on celebrities for years now. They come in a variety of different colors and prints but I've been eying a pair of plaid UGG ones that I found on the Nordstrom website. Living in the state of Washington I think only Seattle or Bellevue woman could rock the look but hey you don't have to be from Manhattan to keep your eyes from turning red with style.

Classic Converse


Many may love Nike's or Jordan's but my tennis shoes of choose are Chuck Taylor's. Just about everybody I know young or old has a pair Converse. The black classic low or high tops haven't gone out of style since their making in 1908. Most trends surpass in a few years but these bad boys have stood their ground for 102 years. I love wearing them on lazy days with my lucky skinnies and an oversize off the shoulder sweatshirt. But my question is there any one out of billions that don't like Chuck Taylor's. I wonder if a surveys ever been taken. They come in all styles from sequined to neon green so their would be no reason for someone not like them.
