Weekend Shine

The weekend is over once again. Boo! This weekend my boyfriend and I made a spontaneous trip home to the Valley to watch the Canelo vs. Mayweather fight. Unfortunately Canelo lost, ugh  I don;t want to talk about it. However, before that we made a quick trip to the farmers market in the AM. I had missed going to the farmers market, I wanted to make it a routine back when I first started going but my boyfriend doesn't really like going with me. This week I am actually going to be focusing on projects and gathering my portfolio together for Student Symposium in October. Look forward to some portfolio posts everyone.
Since I didn't do a Weekend Shine last weekend I am compiling this week and last weeks together. Have a great week everyone!

My finds from this the J.Crew sale last week. I believe I got too many sweaters and its not even cold here yet. My excuse was that it is cold in my classes.

I finally got around to upgrading my bar cart. Goes to show what spray paint and storage can do!

Speaking of storage, I stocked up on some baskets last week so I can store my shoes and linens around the apt. It was getting a little messy and out of control. All of these baskets were from Ross and they were a great price!

Found this awesome ring on Etsy for my bestie and myself. Her's has her initial like this one. 

The Phillip Lim X Target collaboration finally came out this past Sunday. I made it a mission for myself to go out on "opening day" to get this bag! There was only one left when I got there.

Fashion Week: J.Crew


Happy Thursday everyone! It is almost the weekend and I can honestly say I am extremely excited to get some rest from this week. I have only been in school for 4 weeks and I am feeling the pressure. I have been relieving some of my stress, or shall I say procrastinating, by going through my favorite bloggers/instagramers fashion week photos. I have to say my favorite show so far was J. Crew's Spring/Summer 2014 collection. Love all the brights and patterns! I thought it was so versatile in that you can wear these pieces for professional practice or a casual day at the park. Lets just say my wallet won't be too happy once spring comes around. The men's clothing wasn't too bad either.
 I only wish I could be there. I bet you all are saying the same thing. What was your favorite show?

Weekend Shine

Hola amigos! Come estan esta maƱana? This Labor Day weekend was a very restful weekend for me, thank goodness. I had a rough first two weeks of school and I can already tell I will be having a stressful, heavy workload this semester. Eighteen hours of design classes is no joke people. So, this weekend I slept in everyday and enjoyed a relaxing weekend with my family and friends back home in the Valley. We went Paloma hunting (dove hunting) which is a tradition in my family since I was a young toddler. However, I am sad to say we did not do very well this year. It is mainly because of the drought in South Texas that the birds just went elsewhere to feed. Oh well there is always deer season to look forward to. I'm just glad this is going to be a short weekend. How was your Labor day mini vaca? 
I also was being productive this weekend by starting my senior portfolio for interior design! Very exciting:) I posted a preview on my Instagram ( jocelyn_u09 ) but will be making a posting it here next week. Have a productive week!
