This is long overdue, but I’m an official college graduate! On June 16th, tons of FIDM students, faculty, and family trekked to Staples Center in Downtown LA to watch us graduate. For those wondering, my degree is an Associates of the Arts in Beauty Industry Merchandising and Marketing. My education means a lot to me because it is so specialized, I also want to give thanks on vce tutors melbourne for teaching and guiding me in every academic situations, And now I am prepared to work in the beauty industry- which I wouldn’t have discovered if it wasn’t for YouTube or blogging. A month ago I posted a conundrum I had about what dress to wear…the funny thing is, I wore none of the dresses I had chosen. Everyone recommended a peplum dress from ASOS which was sold out. So, when I went shopping at H&M I found a similar dress, and I loved it. Check out the little gallery below for some personal photos including my personalized mortarboard, the dress, the graduation, etc.! Congrats to everyone else who graduated as well!
Travel: NYC FIDM Beauty Study Tour Recap
Long time, no blog! The posts from the past few weeks have been ones that I pre-wrote, so I feel like I haven’t blogged in ages. But boy, have I been busy! One day after graduation, June 17th, I jet-setted to New York with 6 other girls for 5 days of visiting beauty brands. Why, you ask? First off, it’s great to find out how the beauty industry differs than the west coast. Also, some of us want to live in New York City in the future, so, this is a great opportunity to get on those companies radar! We had a jam-packed schedule and got a lot of business cards! I really enjoyed my whirlwind trip to New York City…I can really imagine myself living there! I posted a small gallery below so you can see some of the photos from the trip, including behind the scenes at the company’s headquarters! These companies were all amazing and quite a few of them gave us awesome goodies to try out, so you know you can expect future reviews!
Here’s a list of the companies we visited: Bumble and Bumble, Women’s Wear Daily, Arcade Marketing, COTY, Shiseido, Bollare PR, CEW Event, Tarte, Temptu, Givaudan, and INGLOT.

What to Wear to a Fashion School Graduation (FIDM)
I don’t blog about school too much, but I am graduating from FIDM next month and I am lost as to what to wear. You may be wondering “you went to fashion school…why don’t you know what to wear?” I am getting my degree in Beauty, so I have always been slightly intimidated by fashion- even more so because I am plus sized. I only have about 3 weeks until graduation, so I am slightly freaking out.
What I’m Looking for:
I want to look summery, fashionable, and figure-conscious. My favorite color is orange right now, so I’d love to incorporate that into my outfit. We have to wear long(ish) black caps and gowns that are so disgusting, but at least we get to decorate them. I want a dress that is about knee-length, but not a maxi dress because I don’t really want it to show awkwardly under the gown. I decided to buy my graduation dress from ASOS because they provide fashionable pieces at decent prices.
I also wore an ASOS dress to my high school graduation, nearly two years ago, and I loved it. Did your HS make you wear white/cream dresses under your white gowns too? So not flattering! I also picked out a cute outfit for an after party that I was invited to. Some awesome jeans with a fitted shirt and the cutest bomber hat that I just ordered from http://www.furhatworld.com/aviator-bomber-hats-c-42_65.html
ASOS CURVE Exclusive Lace Dress
I love this dress because it’s orange of course. I like the length and silhouette. I feel like I can wear this dressed up or down, which I like.
I love the length, and the color. It’s not orange, but I think it would look great with an orange lip since blue and orange are complementary colors! The yellow color is cheaper, but I’ve never worn a yellow dress so it would make me kind of nervous!
ASOS CURVE Exclusive Body-Conscious Tank Dress
I’m including this because I may get it for events and such, because it is cheap and adorable. Why must it only come in black?!
ASOS CURVE Dress With Ribbon Trim
I think I need this dress. I am only worried about the neckline, because as a large-chested girl, sometimes higher necklines make my boobs look weird. I think I may add it to my wish list anyway just because it is so cute for spring and summer.
ASOS CURVE Exclusive Dress With Peplum
I don’t know how this dress would look on me, so I’m worried. Is it too casual because of the jersey? I’ve never had a peplum dress so I’m worried it will make me look larger as well. The color is cute also.
The Verdict:
To be honest, I think I may need to order all of these dresses, because I need more dresses for my post-graduation New York Beauty Study Tour with FIDM. But, I would love to get your opinions on these dresses- and please give me any accessory or shoe (pref. wedges or flats) recommendations!
Also, post what you would wear! I think that would be fun 🙂
I Left My <3 In New York City
This past week I was in New York City to attend IMATS and have a little post-graduation vacation. I love New York, even though it was only my second time there…I wish I could be back there already! I just thought I would do a short post to show some photos from the trip, and at the end, a haul video!
We visited the Statue of Liberty.
We walked through Central Park.
We went to the top of the Empire State Building.
We shopped Soho.
We had some yummy treats. (American Globs at The Big Gay Ice Cream Shop)
We bought some makeup.
And we dressed up.
And there you have it, a short synopsis of New York!
I can’t wait to go back!
Check out the goodies I got:
