    FIDM DEBUT 2010

    Went down to the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica to watch a parade of talent… the FIDM Debut 2010!  I wore my Telephone inspired outfit and decided to never play it safe ever again.

    It started with the showcasing of the 10 scholarship winners from Fashion Design that participated in the Guess denim competition.

    Then the Judy Garland / Liza Minilli tribute pieces from Costume Design majors.

    The show then showcased the collections rom the 10 students that were breath taking.

    I was sitting way back behind 20,000 people so sorry for the photo quality!  The thing I love about fashion, art and FIDM is that when you think everythings been done before you see new talents that blows you away.  Chase your dreams!

    My favorite designer was Meghann Alaina Fanara who gave up a ballet scholarship to attend FIDM to design children apparel. She won the Karen Kain award for FIDM and had a spectacular collection and the most adorable models.

    My favorite collection is the Kapasa Musonda from.. Zambia! Her passion for design, her highly detailed piece and very wearable couture made me love her collection!  She started her own line 3 years ago at the age of 17.  She has won numerous global award at home and aboard. She is a force to be reckoned with. Love you girl!

    ETERNITY Summer 2010

    2 brand new summer limited editions from Calvin Klein that will blow your mind away. They hit stores this month, so go and have a sniff and tell me how much you love them! Close your eyes and imagine this.

    The delicate first rays at sunrise

    Untouched sand, light reflecting off the waves


    A sense of peace as the day begins…


    The Fragrance

    Cool • Fresh • Serene

    ETERNITY summer 2010. The beauty of a beach at first light captured in a watery floral fragrance.

    ETERNITY summer opens with tangy notes of grapefruit, ginger and passion flower. The heart bursts into a beautiful bouquet of water florals with pink peony, freesia and muguet. A seductive summery drydown of musks, white amber and driftwood adds sensuality and warmth.

    Top: Grapefruit, Ginger, Passion Flower
    Mid: Pink Peony, Freesia, Muguet
    Dry: Creamy Musks, White Amber, Driftwood



    The ETERNITY signature flacon and outer packaging has been newly interpreted for summer with an image of ocean waves lightly enveloping the sand. The soft pink and lavender color palette mimics the light at sunrise.

    As you all know, I spent the last 9 months of my life in LA going to FIDM!  The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising has 4 campus in SF, SD, OC, LA and have over 16 majors. It’s not just about sewing clothes…


    This is my last week of school forever! Can you believe it?  I decided to come to FIDM to pursue my studies in Beauty Industry Marketing because I knew I would excel and love every single day of it! And I was right… I am really going to miss being a student but I won’t miss being broke ^_^  These are my last 7 days as a FIDM student but the adventures never stop!
