je suis desolee

I fooking suck at updating this thing.

I think it's mostly cause I know no one reads it and I'm too lazy to write out everything...whyyyy?

Anyways, Octobre (no that isnt a spelling mistake) was an amazing month for me. My brother came for three weeks. I saw him launch his magazine at Colette with Larry Clark, I had someone to go to cafes & eat crazy delicious things with, and we reflected on how far we've both come considering this has been both of our dreams for so long.

After my brother left, my boyfriend came during my much needed holiday from school. Low and behold, on the third day he was here he proposed to me in front of the Eiffel Tower. I'm not very good with sappy moments, but if I could go back I would have screamed and did the whole jumping up thing (and worn a cuter outfit hehe).

et voila! the ring!

I'm screaming with joy inside right now...but once again I am alone. I have a little over a month left here in good ol' Paris, and I hope to eat and see as many things. I just hope it doesn't rain too much!!!

INTERNSHIP. I took these pictures (my favorite looks from the whole show) from my first internship for a hair show at Cirque d'Hiver for Michel Dervyn. It was amazing!

well...actually its 10/11 here Paris time.

Missing all my family and friends mostly because I am sick!!!! I'm dying a slow, slow death

I haven't updated in a bit but I guess that it is a good thing because I've been busy actually doing things and not glued to my only friend, my computer :)

Fashion week has been over for a few days, I was so happy to sit second row(!!!) at Elie Saab, had a blast at the launching of my brother's magazie (DDD & met Catherine Baba!) and a lot of other fab things I can't remember at the moment...

Oh! I went to Versailles this past weekend with my out of town friends....AMAZING! I will update with pics of the Takashi Murakami exhibit! I got in for free because I am a student! haha highlight of my weekend!

Day 2

I didn't go to bed until around 330 am last night (morning) I ended up sleeping in till about 1130 (for those who know me really well...you know that I hate waking up that late!)

 I tried the yogurt I bought yesterday. SO DELICIOUS, SO CREAMY! I never finish the yogurts I get at home because for some reason my gag reflexes start kicking in but this one goes down so smoothly and vanilla flavor is so yummy! I did some research on french yogurts (yourt) so I'm going to try some other brands soon! Also, the cute little glass bottles they come in work well to hold my makeup and pens and I read online somewhere someone using them as souvenirs to give to their friends as tea light holders!

Today my girl roommate and I went to parc de sceaux which used to be the land of some royalty (i'll research it more later!). The land/parc is humongous...I can't even begin to describe, so I'll post pictures when I go back again. The sky here seems so much closer to the groud, so it's pretty and calming. Maybe once I start making friends I can go have picnics there...hehe.

Because of sleeping in I didn't get to run my errands (like going to the bank etc) so I guess I'll have to do that tomorrow!

Found the magazine/book store today! French Elle, Marie Claire, Glamour etc are 2.50 euros! Not bad, not bad! Can't wait to go back and buy some!

-EDIT-
I went to monoprix (store that sells almost everything) and got a premade caffe latte (like those bottle starbucks frapps) and a croissant (so flaky!). I was looking in the ice cream bin before I bought those things and while I was standing in line, the security guard came up to me. At first I thought he was asking me if I stole an icecream (I put it back when I saw the coffee) but it was actually because I didn't shut the freezer door to the icecream bin all the way! ROOKIE mistake #2. Ha! I kept saying "sorry" and he eventually discovered that I had only arrived in France yesterday. woops.

I called my mom today and she keeps telling me how sad she is which is so new to me because she didn't even shed a tear when I graduated hs and went off to college. Thanks for the love, folks! She says when she gets home she opens the doors and yells my name and no one responds :( But both of my parents are really happy for me and I think it makes them super happy to say that they have a child who's studying abroad!
