ARTIFACT

China Print Blouse c/o The Editor's Market, Cross Necklace c/o LoveStylize, White Skinny Jeans c/o Articles of Society, Nude Ankle-Strap Pumps from Nine West

The past few weeks in general have been very busy and exhausting, but this is one of the outfits I recently wore and just now got the chance to post to my blog. I love china prints at the moment so this blouse from The Editor's Market will definitely be a piece I'll be wearing a lot. To highlight the blue detailing, I paired the top with these stark, white jeans from Articles of Society. The cross necklace was something I added since I felt that this outfit would be too bare without some type of jewelry!

Anyways, last Friday, I finally graduated from high school! I apologize for not posting very much recently, but this summer, I'm hoping to cohere to a personal goal of posting 3-4 times a week now (at least until I move during mid-August). There are two main things that occurred during my slight absence that I want to take the time to update you guys about though! :)

The first being my experience in attending the Lookbook.nu x Levi's party in San Francisco on May 30th. My cousin was kind enough to drive me up to San Francisco and it was really nice having her there with me. I would definitely be lying though if I said I wasn't nervous because I'm not a partier at all and was worried I wouldn't know what to do with myself there. But once I got to meet the Lookbook staff as well as their interns, Nicole and Shannon, I felt a lot more comfortable and it was a great experience getting to meet the individual staff members too! I even got to meet Jella, who is the owner of Sophiscat (one of my sponsors). And it also helped that Jeff, one of the Lookbook staff members, was an Iron Man fan himself. I even have a really cool "HYPE" t-shirt in my wardrobe now as well, which they were handing out at the party :) Below are some of my favorite photos from the party, and you can see more photos from the Lookbook.nu Facebook album here.

Secondly, I wanted to include some photos from my graduation in this post! My marching partner was one of my best friends, Kayla. It is awesome to know that I'll be able to come back to California with her when our semesters in New York end! But the most exciting part of our graduation ceremony was when our valedictorian, Christina, gave me an unexpected shoutout in her speech about my fashion design pursuits, so I hope that if she is reading this, she'll know that it made my night! My family and I went out to the Red Lobster for dinner afterwards, and later that night, I attended my Grad Night. I left a bit early at 4 AM in the morning, but even that was rather late for me and I was pretty exhausted. My favorite part of Grad Night was getting to go rock climbing, go cart racing, and eating corn on the cob at 2 AM.

Cheers to the Class of 2013 and to the beginning of summer!
