Pearls With a Modern Twist

I love pearls, especially layering pearl necklaces. However, when searching for a cool Fashionista to write my article about, I found a student who took a twist with her button-down and pearls. In my article for CollegeFashionista I chose to focus on her collar which has different shades of pearls sewn on to the tips. To me it's a neat extra touch of pizzazz to her ensemble. You can check out my full article "All Pearled Up" which went live today, August 15th. In  my article there are a few links to similar tops that take pearls to the next level. With these you can skip figuring out what necklace to wear and just rock a cool top.

200th Post!

Not going to lie I wasn't sure if I would every make it past the 100th post! (I have deleted a few posts so the numbers may have gotten a tiny mixed up but this is my 200th post) It's been a great time blogging; it's relaxing and also fun. I enjoy sharing my own fashion world with you and it's just great to see that people are actually reading what I write on Bri Vision.

For this post I figured I would write an update since the summer is coming to an end:

First off, I will be entering my 3rd year at Purdue University. I'm still an Apparel Design & Technology major with minors in French as well as Art & Design Studio. This summer I took 3 classes as well as completed my 1 credit hour retail internship. I worked part time at Charming Charlie to fulfill all of my retail internship requirements. I learned a lot about the retail world and that whole aspect of apparel. While taking classes and working I've also been doing a fashion writing internship with CollegeFashionista as a Style Guru. I've posted about my articles and I have a couple more until the end of my internship. I will not be continuing on as a Style Guru in the fall semester because I really want to focus on my classes and I also will have 2 part time jobs as well as my work study job. But I plan on reapplying for my senior year!

A little bit more...I will be starting the application process for London College of Fashion for Spring 2015. Hopefully I get accepted!! If accepted I want to take corsetry, millinery, and shoe making classes. 

Lastly, I guess stay tuned for more on my journey for finding the perfect apparel design internship. I'll need to do this internship Summer 2015 but I have no idea where I'll be or what I'll be doing (hopefully actually designing!). 

Alrighty, well keep coming back for more posts! I'll be writing about some of my art projects, my moving process back into the dorms, and also on trying to clean out my closet and go about selling my clothing.

My First Fashionisto

I was very excited for my article, "All in The Details: Striped And Ready For Fall," because it featured my first Fashionisto article. I wrote about his sweatshirt and for how fellow Fashionistos and Fashionistas could incorporate a similar type into their closets for fall or for a few other type of sweatshirts for those who don't particularly like stripes. 

Back to School Backpacks

For August 1st my article, "All In The Details: Backpack to Basics," featured a bright red Lacoste backpack. A lot of people have their backpacks for a long time, especially if you purchase a quality brand. If you're on the market for a new backpack, or even just interested in looking at lots of options, then check out my article. 

Fashionista Shoe Choice: Converse

I know I've been a little behind with my posting about my CollegeFashionista articles so I'm going to try and catch up!

My article that went online July 25th is titled "All in the Details: Kicking It Old School Converse Style." It features a fellow Boilermaker showing her style with the classic black and white converse. I personally love converse, they're comfy and allow you to showcase your own sense of style. They have a huge selection with not only different styles of shoes but different colors and fabrics and more! 

While everyone loves a good print or color selection, there's something refreshing about the classic black and white converse. Check out the neat section that Converse has where you can design your own custom converse.
