Fun on the Job

Hello everyone! As I mentioned last post I had a little surprised in which I revealed that I am basically blonde now. This was all due to a recent job I was hired for. Now I know you might be wondering, "What job?" or "Why would you dye your hair for a job?" the answer to that is that I am a model. I had shared this with you all a couple of posts ago but as I officially got signed under the company I work for, I ended up getting my job no less than two weeks after.

Anyways, enough technical talk. I know you all wanna know what I ACTUALLY  did. So I was lucky enough to be hired as a model for Denis de Souza and Sergio Garcia. Denis is a celebrity hairstylist from California who has started to teach classes to hair dressers so that they learn his technique and the trend he created: The Sombre.

This was basically a two day job, I got hired on Sunday and on the same day they prepped my hair (cut it, blow dry it and style) for the next day along with two other models I was with.

 

On Monday we got our makeup done, got dressed and our gorgeous little black dresses from Zara were provided by the director. As the day went on I was the live demo model which meant that Denis de Souza would be talking and doing my hair as a demonstration to the hair stylists that came to learn.

My hair slowly went from dark brown to a caramel color and then at then end it had the full Sombre effect. I worked all day and my mom was too happy to be by my side all day so I had to take a picture of her backstage ( Isn't she adorable??).

As I said before I was the live demo so here's a shot of them doing my hair.

At the very end I had an overwhelming feeling of satisfaction just because everything turned out great and all the hair stylists that were there were pleased to have seen the demo so I felt happy for Denis and Sergio who shared their talent successfully.

And of course we took group pictures for Joico (Hair company we worked for) as well as for everyone to see. If you all want to check out other pictures follow @DenisdeSouza on Instagram or @Joico to see the picture above.

I'm happy I'm able to share my experiences with you all and I can't wait for many more I'll be able to share.

Until next time,

Val

Originality is Key

Hello everyone, today I just wanted to take a different road with what I post and kind of just sit back and talk. After all, the way I designed my blog was for me to able to give you guys tips and ideas towards fashion and health but as you are able to see; I've also have posted about events in my life and my thoughts. I really want to stick to the idea of being able to share my thoughts with you since in the end, I love to write.



Anyways, for today's post I thought I could share my opinion on originality. In my  mind I believe that originality is one of the key factors to success. Uncreative writing, in my opinion leads nowhere. What is the point of taking someone's writing and posting or saying it as yours. My goal with this blog is to reach out to as many people as I can and let you know that you don't have to be like anyone else. “To be “original” doesn’t mean producing something totally new, something that hasn’t been expressed before. To be original is to produce something that’s present in everyone, but which no one else would’ve thought of expressing in just that way because no one else is you.”
I live by all these quotes because they inspire me every day to just be myself and they should do the same for you.
And remember:

“The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline toward the religion of solitude.”

—  Aldous Huxley

I hope this inspired a lot of you because it sure inspires me to be original. Check out my last post to see and outfit of the day and stay tuned for a recap on what I have been up to.

Until next time,

Alexander Wang for H&M

Hello Everyone!

I simply could not wait until tomorrow to talk about the great Alexander Wang. If you didn't know Alexander Wang and H&M teamed up for a sporty due. Therefore, why wouldn't I watch my two favorite things come together as one?? And just for everyone who is waiting for this partnership to come out in stores, the date is November 6th I believe.

I actually tuned in a couple minutes after yet I'm happy the show had not begun when it said it would. Gave me enough time to prepare myself for what I was about to watch!

I am so content with the idea of being able to watch it online, I definitely think more fashion shows should do this especially for those out of the country.

Anyways enough rambling! The actual fashion show was great and entertaining. The beginning of the show included acrobats doing all sorts of jumps and flips which certainly related to the sporty theme of it all. As the show began and models walked out I loved how the model's pace was in sync with the music. It made the show a lot more interesting to watch and made your eye wonder around the models even more.

Last but not least, right before the show started Alexander gave a few words on his opinion about working with H&M. He spoke nothing but good things and how excited he was, just some of the reason why I love him so much, such a humble and talented designer he is,

What's your favorite designer? Let me know in the comments below.

NYFW in my eyes

Good afternoon lovelies!

Today I wanted to talk about New York Fashion Week because I simply just can't handle with it being over. I have mentioned it in a couple posts before but today I wanted to talk about the two main shows that I was extremely excited to see. These include the Marc Jacobs show and the Angel Sanchez show. 

Marc Jacobs has always been my obsession when it comes to handbags and creative runway shows and of course Angel Sanchez because 1. fun fact: I am Venezuelan and 2. his designs inspire me on a whole other level. 

Marc Jacobs fall 2014

The Marc Jacobs show was probably my favorite out of all because of the simplistic and minimalist amount of makeup the models wore. In addition, the style of the clothes was very laid back and there were many staple pieces disguised as very chic clothing pieces.

Angel Sanchez- Beauty

 Going along with no makeup look from Marc Jacobs, Angel Sanchez also did this with his models. I believe this is the best way to show off of the clothes designed and show the true beauty of fashion.

Another thing I loved about the Angel Sanchez show was the deep cuts, pastel colors and the different types of fabrics used to enhance each piece. One of my favorite dresses is the one above, everything about it attracts me. From the deep V cut and the ivory white to the pale blue used on the shoulders.

Here is another example of the cuts and fabric patterns used which I loved.

Let me what your favorite designer or runways shows were your favorite in the comment below! Check out my last post to see an inspired fall outfit.

Until next time,

Summer Tips

School is just around the corner and in my opinion it's crunch time. Everyone is making the best out of the last days, so I thought that these 10 tips would help everyone out.

1. Stretch daily: This is so important! Not only does it get your body going in the morning but it also wakes you up and makes you get up with a positive mind.

2. Drink lots of water: This task has been a problem for me for many years but I have now been good about it and I cannot express enough how good it makes you feel. So if you're like me and is not so good at drinking water, start small, drink at least 32 oz. and then slowly make your way up to 64 oz. a day.

3. Keep your space tidy: I am always moving around furniture in my room, in fact I just redesigned my whole room two days ago. However, keeping your work area clean as well as your bed is very important. Not only does it help to stay organize but having a clean space motivates you to do more things.

4. Enjoy the sunshine: Even if you don't live near the beach or you haven't been able to go anywhere, go outside for at least 30 minutes and soak up some vitamin C.

5. Wear clothes that make you happy: This tip may not seem like it's true but it really is! When you wear something you feel comfortable and happy in, your mood instantly changes.

6. Go to bed earlier:  I am very bad at this tip and can't seem to go to bed earlier than 10:30 but on the days that I do, you certain boost your energy for the next day and are well rested.

7. Read a book: I am a book worm so this is not very hard for me to do, but for those who don't like to read start off with something simply and with a topic you want to know more about and I am positive you will become a book addict.

8. Go on a walk or bike ride: Any type of exercise throughout the year can help reduce stress and make you solve things on a more complex level.

9. Avoid processed foods: Try out any diets that interest you, of course nothing extreme but cutting something from your everyday diet like too many sweets can impact your health greatly.

10. Stop dwelling on the negative: Keep a positive mind no matter what the circumstances are because in the end everything will work out.
