It's been such a whirlwind of a week as you all know! And it just got a little crazier because...
Robert surprised me by telling me he booked the same flights to New York with me, and he booked us a cute little hotel next to Central Park! I'm a bit bummed that I won't be staying with the other winners and Chictopia interns and editors at the Grand Hyatt, but this is seriously one of the sweetest, if not the sweetest, things Robert has done for me. How could I not be happy? It's turning out to be really expensive on his end, but this chance will not come again so I'm just going to live it up and take in every moment. But I am going to make a point to go to either the VIP dinner or brunch with the girls so I can meet them all! Now next Friday cannot come any sooner! I have to somehow force myself to study today and tomorrow for my midterm on Monday. I don't think I'm going to luck out with not studying again...
(wearing: red cardigan -- zara; striped top and blue tights -- forever 21)
It started raining randomly yesterday...Ugh this rain needs to leave now. We've had so much this year already! The rain here makes me really nervous about the weather there on the East Coast! My outfits have been so drab this week, so today I sort of forced myself to dress up a little even though I'll just be spending the day trying to study. When I took these pictures the sky was starting to clear up, but now it is pouring. At least the clown from my neighbor's birthday party stopped singing...
So yesterday I gave my friend my portfolio/sample book and he's showing a potential client today. Ah! I hope I get that gig! It'd be so amazing to have the opportunity to shoot a wedding. I'll do the wedding post soon!!
Clearly studying isn't going so well because I changed my blog layout and resized all my photos. It's already almost 4pm and I've done nothing productive. Bleh! I hope you like the new layout :) I wanted the pictures to be bigger!
Until next post,
Jasmine
PS. Thank you to Jen and Sybil for the little shout outs. You two are the sweetest ever! I seriously wish you both were going so I could hug you both and never let go. I would then kidnap you to the state of eternal sunshine (well not right now) so you both won't complain about the cold anymore :) If only...!
PPS. Today is the last day to enter my giveaway. The giveaway will be closed tonight at midnight, so go go go!!
awwwww jasmine! first of all, you look so adorable in this outfit, it's so nautical! and i love how you layered all those necklaces. it took me forever to find a nice key necklace for one of my friends (she desperately wanted one) and here you are with FIVE amazing keys! :P
ReplyDeleteyour portfolio looks GORGEOUS and from what i can see those pictures turned out beautifully. i can't wait for you to finally post some.
finally, that is so ridiculously sweet of robert to surprise you like that! you have such an amazing guy (and vice versa - he's with the first place winner! haha) i really wish i could go to the conference but i already missed the 50% discounted price and i'm hitting myself in the head about it. when are you arriving in nyc? if you have any free time i would LOVE to take a train up there and have lunch or dinner, that'd be amazing! :D
hurray for your bf going with you!!!! that is so awesome!!!! i remember when i went with my bf for the first time..SO awesome and so many adventurous memories! :) that scrapbook looks really nice!!! i can't wait to see more!!! :D
ReplyDeleteYay nautical colors! Ahh those vintage-looking keys and little watch are so lovely! How sweet of Robert to go with you to NY, sounds exciting! Did you make those scrapbook pages? They're so lovely! Somehow when I scrapbook, I overload them with stickers and pictures and a lot of crap; yours look so professional (of course, it could be the photography that adds to the professionalism)!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, super-congratulations on winning the Chictopia contest!! You so deserve it. You are gonna have a blast!! And that is so so sweet of your boyfriend. What a neat vacation you two will have! Make sure you take tons of pictures for us :)
