Different in a GOOD way.

Charlotte Russe Black & White Polka-Dotted Romper &

Mossimo nude pumps

Forever 21 "Sheet" Dress

In celebration of completing the application process and paying the deposit for my Spain trip, I started looking at my closet today and putting together potential outfits for this summer! Accessories to come. I'm thinking a bright colored bag with the romper would look great! As for the "Sheet"dress .... talk about exciting!! Picture a square piece of fabric sewn on the sides and tied in the top by braided tassels. Never bought anything like it and my aunt had to convince me, but I am glad I got it. Definitely different.. in a good way!!

Traveling in Style.

After running around to five different Ross', my sister and I found the entire Kathy Van Zeeland luggage set. We were able to get it for more than 50% off the original price! I loved the red color, very Spanish to me. Can't wait to take these to Spain and travel in style!

Twisted Spring Break.

While my Spring Break ended up being a scary one with my uncle having a heart attack, I can at least say that my interview for the Spain internship went great! Since I traveled to New York for the family emergency, I did it there. I was pretty nervous, especially when my cousin cut off the internet during the Skype interview!!!! Luckily the interviewer called me back and was very kind about it. Best part is, she thought my Spanish was great! She even suggested that I take a Catalan class instead of a Spanish class when I get there.

I am more excited than ever now! I did a little shopping with my aunt while I was in New York. Picked up some Maybelline, NYX and Revlon makeup products (some are shown below) and Forever 21 spring apparel. These are definitely things I will bring to Spain with me this summer :)

FIT ME Foundation in Soft Beige (315). Like it so far!

NYX Jumbo Pencils (I got Bronze, Dark Brown & Black Bean) <3

Revlon Colorstay Lipstick in Soft Nude <3

A Plan to Make Plans.

This is a photo of Parc Guell in Barcelona. A must-see attraction. It holds the best view of the city. And guess what? I am one step closer to seeing it!
I just recently got accepted to an internship program in Barcelona, Spain. A trip like this has been n the works since I started college. I have always had a plan for summer plans. Wow, that sounds pathetic... I made plans to make plans.

So I decided how I would spend my summers:

Summer #1: "Finally, get a job Stephanie. I think most 18 year old's have had a job by now!"

I ended up working in Charlotte Russe, a store I still love but I would never work there again. There is something about working in a store you love that just doesn't mix. It loses its special-ness.

Summer #2: "Make your way into your future. First step, internship. Where? NOT HERE."

I always wanted to go to Greece ever since I saw The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. But Greece is not the ideal location to be living at for a summer especially with protests and riots radically occurring. I will eventually visit, but for now Spain will do. My roots are in Spain and I am dying to experience the culture while interning at a public relations firm.

Summer #3: "Intern again. DC? NYC? Somewhere, but NOT HERE."

I want to gain as many experiences as I can while in college. And I want thoseexperiences to interest me and benefit me. I have always wanted to go back to my birthplace, New York, and intern in a company (most likely a cosmetics company). However, DC is looking more and more interesting as I see my sisters life blossom in our beautiful capital.

Now I am ready to take on Summer #2!!!! Next week I will be interviewed over the phone in Spanish and from there I will start working with the site director to find the perfect internship. I leave May 23rd and stay for eight weeks. I will be creating a new blog soon solely about the steps it took to get to Barcelona. I will then continue to update it while I am in my internship this summer. :) Hasta pronto!

Just in :)

Just got my Naked Palette. I had to wait two weeks since I sent it to my home address. But, my lovely mother brought it to me today and I am in awe. I LOVE IT. No surprise though, I knew I would.
