Weddings

It seems a little surreal that people from my graduating class of high school are already getting married. Trust me, we are young, and that is a good thing. It makes me want to get married too, but first I need to find the right boy (that might be the topic of another post, lets not get into my love life just yet) and that will come if he is the one.

Right now I want to say that I am so happy for my friends. They are going to take this huge step in a year from now and they could be more right.

The have had a long history together, spent time with each other and have grown to be the cutest couple. We  all were waiting for their engagement. It was the most anticipated (and predicted) thing ever. And finally we received the news! We are all talking about it now. And of course, wishing them the best and all the love and happiness of the whole wide world. 

We are getting old. I can't seem to process it, but in a good way. 

Cheers to happy couples all around the world, about to tie the knot, and expressing their honest love.

My new Internship

As many of you may already know, I was struggling so bad with finding some internships and I was trying to figure out what to do with my life now that I had to be a grown up. Well, the day has come where I get to go to an office and do actual stuff. I got my very first internship and I am head over heels about it.

I am now working with an awesome team of people over at the World Trade Center here in Lima, and it is just so nice to get to see how things are done. My first week went great, except for a very funny incident that caused the light to go out for an hour on Friday morning. That will be another story to tell here.

My first task, update the database of chambers of commerce and embassies and call and make sure that all of the data was up to date (duh! that's why it's called "updating" right?).

It is a part-time internship, meaning that the office hours are flexible. And for me, that is the best thing. I will start university again in March so that it is going to be adapted to what my classes require and the demand that they have of my time.

I am so happy to be working there, if you can't already tell, and I will be updating more about this subject soon.

I hope you are having a great week so far and that everything you do give you satisfaction.

Fashion Internship

Hey everyone! 

I was just wondering how awesome would it be to get an internship in some part of the fashion world? For me it would be so nice and would be a great time to diversify my horizons and go and try something new apart from my management mayor. I think it would be that different also because you should know how to develop as a leader and manager in some of the projects you are in charge of, you would just be adding something girls love since playing with barbies was so much fun. Dress up, makeup, fashion in all its splendor. 

I am thinking going abroad to make one of these internships, I was thinking France, Spain, Italy or Belgium. I don't know why but I am in need to travel and learn more about fashion around the world in order to grow as a person and a professional, developing different skills and having fun while doing it. 

Ever since I saw the movie with Anne Hathaway, The Devil wears Prada, I fell in love with the fashion industry and it's perks. But, as you all know, you should always take baby steps to get to where you want to be.

I hope you are all having a nice day, here the sun has come up and it's smiling all the way.

Style Segment: From the 1910 to 1920's

Hey Guys! 

Style is a huge part of our world. It has been a dynamic environment since the beginning of times and has evolved and transcended to history. I have always wandered what has made it change so much and why some styles are coming back these days. Is it because before there was more of a sense of what was correct for the society and seemed more classy and elegant? Maybe we can find this out through the history of style. 

In the time of 1910 all the way through 1920, the style changed more rapidly due to the different  events all the way from the World War I to the sinking of the Titanic. Corsets were rapidly eliminated from the wardrobe scene of women and instead more lose and less fitted because women had to start doing the jobs their men left behind to go fight the war. 

Some other influences started to come their way, like the long tunics of the eastern nations and the colours and designs from them had a space built for the occidental societies. The skirts where some flowy and some very tight that they could't walk normally, instead they had to take small steps so that the fabric wont reap. 

The shoes went on a different transformation and the stitching and the decorative buttons were present. Hats and scarves and umbrellas to protect from the sun were so in style that had a special section in every women's closet. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post, it's part of a series, if you can notice I have tons of them coming your way.
