Très Fatigué

It's been long since I don't post in this blog. School started and it's been crazy and tiring ever since it did. Classes are tough this semester, but I was warned, so it does not really surprise me. I've also been working which is a new thing for me cause I've never have had a really job before.I work as a Student Ambassador, which is a pretty fun one because I get to do fun stuff around school.

My trip to Puerto Rico was an ok one. There wasn't to much excitement going on, but I got to spend some time with my grandparents, who are always supportive of me with all the stuff I want to do. One of the highlights of the trip was that I got to spend sometime with my dog, Minnie, which I miss so much. We got to do so many things that we used to do together like sleeping and going for walks together. I can't really say that I regret the trip, but I wish that I had done other things I wanted to do.

Since school started I haven't really done much, just school work. But I got to do some pretty exciting things during fashion week like going to Fashion's Night Out and parties. I got to reunite with one of my best friends from high school who just recently moved to NYC, which was nice because we lost communication and we got the chance to catch up.I also got to go to the US Open Women's final, which was really a priceless moment.

I don't have interesting pictures of what I've done lately, but here are some random ones...

Hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of fall!

Para "La Isla Del Encanto"

(To "The Island of Enchantment")

It's been a few weeks since I don't post anything, because I've been in NYC for a week now and I've been really busy. It feels so good to be back in the city and to tell you the truth I can't wait till school starts. I've been out with some of my FIT friends , Jorge and Ahyoung, a few times. I went to Staten Island and took the ferry for the first time, it was really an adventure, because Jorge had invited Ahyoung and me to a family BBQ and omg we ate so much.

Some pictures of that day...

Yesterday I went to the Met with my aunt Gloria, who just left on a trip to the amazon jungle, to see the Model as Muse exhibition. The exhibition is just gorgeous I definitely recommend it. After that Ahyoung and I went down to Soho to have a snack and then we went to K Town (Korea town) for some pinkberry and Korean shaved ice.

So, one of the reasons I'm writing this post is because tomorrow ill be going to "The Island of Enchantment" (Puerto Rico of course) for two weeks before school starts. My grandparents have been begging for me to go and they even paid for my airline ticket as a birthday gift. I can't wait to see everybody but in special my dachshund Minnie, which is staying with my grandparents while my parents decide if it is best to bring her or not.

I probably will not be posting for the next 2 to 3 weeks, but ill try my best in doing so and telling you about my days back home in P.R.

Hope everybody enjoys their last weeks of summer.

The Intro.

First of all, my name is Nathalie and I'm originally from Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, a town located in the central north coast of the island. My parents currently live in North Carolina and I stay with family in New Jersey while I attend college in NYC. Ever since I stepped foot in this great city I knew this was the place that I wanted to go to school. I'm currently a student at the Fashion Institute Of Technology majoring in Accessories Design, which is one of my many passions.

I love to explore and learn about things that inspire and are unknown to me. Everything like: music, art, food, cultures, languages, and places, but most importantly about fashion and how it comes to life. With this blog I will share with you things I find interesting and inspiring as well as life experiences and daily thoughts.

Sometimes I like to express myself in spanish, but I'll try my best in translating or explaining it in english. If you have any comments, questions or corrections feel free to tell me (I know I'm no the best at writing), it will be well appreciated.
