I hope all is well. I took a trip down memory lane and came across this picture of my younger sister, Sade and myself at her graduation from UPenn’s School of Social Policy and Practice. Prior to attending UPenn, Sade attended Cornell University as an undergraduate. This Fall, Sade will be heading back to UPenn to begin her career in law. So proud of her! I know graduation day is a few months from now for some of you, but wanted to share this picture for inspirational purposes. Graduation day is just around the corner. Please remember to savor these last few months, strengthen your friendships with your peers, be diligent about your studies, and try to explore the things you’ve been putting off for ages. Trust me, you’re going to miss these moments when they are gone. “Adulting" is no joke! Ha!</div>

<span style="color: white;">I hope your year has been off to a great start. If you haven’t already begun looking for summer internship opportunities, this is the perfect time to begin researching and applying to internships before the Spring semester gets a little hectic. Though most fashion internships aren’t as structured in comparison to finance and tech internship programs, I strongly suggest working on securing your summer internship soon rather than later, as most of the well-known internship programs have earlier deadlines and limited spaces. On the contrary, if you prefer to intern for a small boutique company instead of well established one, then it is possible to wait a little longer. Either way, it wouldn’t hurt to get this squared away so that you have one less thing to worry about! lol!</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">Finding paid internships is an arduous task. While some companies offer small to generous internship stipends, most fashion internships are unpaid (which sucks, I know). Thus, I strongly suggest working an on-campus job and saving as much money as you can to help maintain yourself while interning for a company over the summer. I would also look into applying to the</span> <a href="http://ed2010.com/ed-on-campus/" target="_blank">Ed Trust Fund</a><span style="color: white;">, which grants $1200 to unpaid interns. Be sure to read the eligibility requirements before you apply!</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">When writing cover letters, please be sure to address someone in human resources or a manager of some sort. Companies want to see that you’ve taken out the time to fully research their company. Use resources such as LinkedIn, to find an HR contact if it is not noted in the internship posting. I know that writing cover letters is a tedious process, and thus, you’re inclined to cut and paste, but please make sure you accurately write/spell the name of the company to which you’re applying to.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> </span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;">If you have an upcoming interview, please make sure that you’re dressed appropriately. Though fashion is considered a “creative” field, I think it’s best to wear sleek black and perhaps have a little “fun” with your accessories. I’ll be posting interview outfit ideas in a few. Stay tuned!<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: #ff2493;"> </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: white;">For those who have secured their internship. First, congrats! Second, please make sure you’re on your best behavior while interning. To stand out, try to be resourceful, proactive, and be a problem solver. Fashion industry professionals love interns who possess that “can-do” spirit as no day is a typical day and there will be a bevy of new problems to tackle each day. Akin to what you may have seen from the Devil Wears Prada movie, fashion is very unglamorous, and as such, requires a lot of time and effort. Be ready to work!</span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="display: inline; float: none; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">As 2017 begins to wane away, I was thinking about some of the fun experiences I had this past year. I vividly remember seeing Ralph Lauren in person, giving a speech during Terry Lundgren’s (i.e. Macy’s longtime former CEO) retirement party earlier this year. I was so <i>geeked</i> out by his presence and genuinely felt inspired by Ralph Lauren’s ability to maintain longevity in the retail business. I spotted this quote from Ralph Lauren and felt compelled to share with you. Hopefully this quote will inspire some of you to set your own trends in 2018!</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: white;">I’m sure many of you now who Ralph Lauren is, but for those who don’t, Ralph Lauren is an iconic American designer known best for his multi-billion dollar eponymous fashion brand that covers apparel, accessories, footwear, fragrances, and home product categories. Lauren is a native New Yorker and began his career in fashion working as a sales associate for Brooks Brothers. In the late 1960s, Lauren ventured out to establish his own line of men's neckties that were sold in Bloomingdale’s among other luxury retailers. In 1972, Lauren designed the “Polo” shirt, which remains to be one of American fashion’s most iconic clothing item. In addition to working in fashion, Lauren also has ventures in dining, film, and philanthropy. In 2015, Lauren stepped down from his position as CEO. </span></div>

<span style="color: white;">Morning, Fashionable Collegians! I hope all of you had an amazing time spending the Christmas holiday with your loved ones (and I hope you received awesome Christmas gifts too! lol). New Year’s Eve is our last celebration of the year. Still have nothing to wear for an upcoming New Year’s Eve party? No worries. I’ve got you covered. During this time of the year, you’ll find that most retailers tend to offer some of the same deals you’d see on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. H&M, Charlotte Ruse, Forever 21, Zara, BooHoo, Asos, among other fast-fashionable retailers all have a ton of affordable clothing perfect for New Year’s Eve parties. Below are some outfit ideas ranging from super dressy to casual fits. Happy Shopping :)</span></div>

Unlike, 5-10 years ago, there’s so many stylish (and affordable) options out there today. Sequins, beading, embroidery, intricate hardware are all new design details that many brands are experimenting with - and I'm loving it! From over-the-knee boots to over-the-top boots, check out some of my picks of the best in boots this season (all boots currently retail for under $100).</span></span></div>

Saint Laurent “Niki Crystal Boot” was this year’s most talked about
boot. Even with the $10,000 price tag, literally every fashionista has
been desperate to get their hands on these ever so sparkly boots. Trust,
fast fashion retailers such as Forever 21 to sell a similar (but much,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>much</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>cheaper) version of this over-the-top boot. It’s the holiday season. Why not go over-the-top?!</span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><u><b>Pros:</b></u></span></div>
<div style="-moz-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">-The No Filter Concealer is creamy and has a great consistency (not too runny or too thick)</span></div>
<div style="-moz-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">-Blending the concealer is super easy and doesn’t require a lot of work irrespective if you’re using a beauty blender or brush.</span></div>
<div style="-moz-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">-The coverage is great as well. You can choose to conceal prior to or after your foundation application. </span></div>
<div style="-moz-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">-The $6 price tag makes this product affordable and accessible, which I’m sure as a college student this is a major plus!</span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><u><b>Cons:</b></u></span></div>
<div style="-moz-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">-I’m darker skinned, so perhaps this may be relevant to women with similar skin tones, but I don’t like that the top of the concealer is white. When using makeup, you’re bound to get product on your hands. This leaves ample opportunities for the cap to get dirty.</span></div>
<div style="-moz-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">-Though I’m sure this is in the works, I still would like to see more shade variation, especially for medium to darker skin tones.</span></div>
<div style="-moz-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="color: white;">Overall, I think this is a great product and recommend Fashionable Collegians to add this to their Christmas list.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hello, my name is Bisi and I'm a certified product junkie. lol Lately I've been on this beauty binge. Thanks to Sephora's recent November VIB sale, I've kinda gone a little overboard (don't judge me!). Like many of you, I'm an avid viewer of Youtube makeup videos and thus, I'm prone to purchasing tons of beauty products that some of my favorite Youtube "beauty gurus" review on their channels.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">Given that we're approaching the Winter weather, I've been focusing a bit more on skincare as my skin is super sensitive around this time of the year. I'm not necessarily ready for my Youtube debut just yet, thus this blog will have to suffice. Ha! </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">D</span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">ear Fashionable Collegians, Summer is coming to a very near end. Don't fret. Instead, let this be a reminder that you need to update your wardrobe for the upcoming Fall semester! In addition to buying Oxford shirts, polos, new jeans, and of course a fresh new pair of Old Navy flip-flops, be sure to add leopard to your Fall 2010 wardrobe! That's right, LEOPARD!</span></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nKyaAZuI85g/THgaOmRLl2I/AAAAAAAAAUM/1MVkIWJ3Ys8/s1600/Screen+shot+2010-08-27+at+4.02.23+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="186" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nKyaAZuI85g/THgaOmRLl2I/AAAAAAAAAUM/1MVkIWJ3Ys8/s400/Screen+shot+2010-08-27+at+4.02.23+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">In the Harper's Bazaar August 2010 issue titled, "First Look At Fall," the fashion editors of the mag shared their insight on what to expect for the season-Feline Fetish. Some of our favorite fashion labels such as Longchamp, Ralph Lauren, Christian Louboutin, Dolce & Gabanna, and of course, feline print extraordinaire, Mr. Roberto Cavalli, are all using leopard print this season. Check out some of the leopard print items I found in the magazine!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nKyaAZuI85g/THgfSdX-JpI/AAAAAAAAAUU/ZMAI4qOJ4s0/s1600/Screen+shot+2010-08-27+at+4.22.04+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="187" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nKyaAZuI85g/THgfSdX-JpI/AAAAAAAAAUU/ZMAI4qOJ4s0/s400/Screen+shot+2010-08-27+at+4.22.04+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Leopard print is so chic and fabulous! I'm craving that Yves Saint Laurent bag (Price tag=$2,995) Ouch! Guess I need to start saving up my coins to purchase that bag ;)</span></div><br />

At this point, I don’t even care if I obtain a position at the bottom of the Fashion totem pole. Just to get my foot in the door would be AMAZING!!! I’m trying hard to remain confident, but it’s a little discouraging when the economy is sucky, companies are firing instead of hiring, and furthermore, companies basically want you to have a <i><span style="font-style: normal;">PhD</span>-No bull.</i></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Nonetheless, aside from my <i>depressing</i> life *I’m dramatic like that, feel sorry for me. lol*, I had an AWESOME time last week. An alumna of Mount Holyoke is in the process of launching a Fashion collection this Fall and allowed me the invaluable opportunity to experience this with her. Last week, I made the hour-long journey from Long Island to the very exuberant NYC (the Garment District), to meet with the MHC alumna.</span> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nKyaAZuI85g/TEdwE67zmBI/AAAAAAAAASs/G1aCLSa4wcw/s1600/tfc+walter+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="202" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nKyaAZuI85g/TEdwE67zmBI/AAAAAAAAASs/G1aCLSa4wcw/s400/tfc+walter+collage.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">When I arrived, I met a kind, soft-spoken man named, Walter Foster. Mr. Foster is very well known amongst the Fashion elite and has been in the Fashion industry for years working with an array of top-tier apparel companies. He will be producing the clothing samples for the MHC alumna’s Fall collection. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
As I entered Mr. Foster’s workspace, I was met with an immense amount of clutter. Different types of fabric, dress forms, sewing machines, and flat sketches were everywhere in the <i>tight</i> workspace. Mind you, I’m semi-claustrophobic, but for some reason I felt invigorated walking into the room.</span><i><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.5pt; font-style: normal;"></span></i><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><i><o:p></o:p></i></span> <i><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal;"></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nKyaAZuI85g/TEd7-CMFjAI/AAAAAAAAAS0/52c3evy381k/s1600/Photo0486.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nKyaAZuI85g/TEd7-CMFjAI/AAAAAAAAAS0/52c3evy381k/s400/Photo0486.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

While Mr. Foster and the MHC alumna were talking, I sat in a chair and observed EVERYTHING in the room. I was essentially a sponge, soaking up everything to append my knowledge regarding pattern-making, sketching, fabrics., etc. It simply felt good being in an environment that I’ve been longing to be in. Mr. Foster was generous enough to allow me to take pics for my blog and furthermore, shared his insight about being <i>confident</i> in what you aspire to do in life. I took Mr. Foster’s advice and open opportunity to meet with him again, with much gratitude.</span></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nKyaAZuI85g/TEeFf0avCMI/AAAAAAAAATE/4AEApt-l10U/s1600/tfc+walter+collage+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="136" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nKyaAZuI85g/TEeFf0avCMI/AAAAAAAAATE/4AEApt-l10U/s400/tfc+walter+collage+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">On the way home (courtesy of the good ‘ol LIRR) I felt different.

Sorry about that, I've had some personal <i>thangs</i> to take care of. Since my last blog post, a lot has happened. I attended an incredible amount of events, had to pack up my things in my dorm, say my goodbyes, and more importantly, I GRADUATED!!! I'm officially an alumna of Mount Holyoke College!!! It has been a tough road, but I made it through. Congrats to all the <b>Fashionable Collegians</b> who recently graduated. Class of 2010!!! Woop!!!

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In May, I attended The Senior Ball, which was held at the Willits Hallowell. The theme of the event (I think), was "Alice in Wonderland" inspired. Everyone both looked amazing that night and had a great time. Take a look at the pics, 'cause the <b>Fashionable Collegians</b> did NOT disappoint!</div><br />
