We'll Cross That Bridge When We Get There

For some reason, I thought that this summer was going to last forever. But as time does, it flew by in the blink of an eye. Whenever anyone asks me what my next move is, I simply say, "oh, we'll cross that bridge when we get there." Well, here we are, quite literally, at the Brooklyn Bridge & I still have no idea what the hell I'm doing.

I've been applying for a million jobs, going to interviews, looking at apartments...the whole shebang. Trying to be an adult is the weirdest transition in the whole world. I keep thinking that I'll be going back to school in a couple weeks & I'm honestly absolutely hating the uncertainty of not knowing what's coming next for me. As much as I desperately miss Florida (believe me I'm so torn between staying & going), I know that I'll regret it if I don't take a chance at trying to make this whole NYC thing work for at least a year.

Meanwhile, I'm basically waking up in cold sweat, panic attack mode every morning because I don't want to make the wrong decision & end up sleeping in the subway. I'm constantly questioning if trying to stay here is even the right move. But I love it here though, I'm young & any career that I want to have is going to be in industries that are thriving here. 

So, what have I got to lose...except my sanity.

 Love,

A

3.0

When I first started Stellar Piece back in September of 2012, I had just transferred to USF & I was a single gal simply looking for a hobby. It grew into much more when I got into a relationship, it became a shared hobby & a scrapbook of all the memories that I wanted to save. Now it's just me again & I want to continue documenting the trials and tribulations that come along with being 21 & trying to find yourself in this crazy world. 

As tempting as it's been to wallow lately, I decided that I'm just going to stay busy & continue living my life to the fullest instead. Stellar Piece has been a huge part of my life for a while now & I am not about to just let that go. Since I recently got my very own Nikon, I decided that it would be silly to not continue documenting all of my adventures here, especially because I have so many exciting events coming up in my life. I'm graduating from college in May (holy crap), moving to NYC for the summer while I intern with CollegeFashionista (what? insane) & along the way I'll be trying to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life (let's not talk about that right now). All I know is that the future is bright and I want to keep writing, taking photos & sharing all of my ups and downs right here.

So for all of you who want to stick around with me & SP, we'd love to have you.

Love,

A

Top 5 Current Faves

1. Cropped boyish hair & equally boyish outfits.

There is nothing like a beautiful girl who emanates femininity behind cropped hair and menswear (I rhyme on the side). I am forever wishing that I was ballsy enough (and had the bone structure) to pull of boy short hair. Oh, the woes of having chubby chipmunk cheeks. Maybe one day...

2. The Lovely Miss Cara Delevingne

 

There is just something wonderfully spectacular about Cara. She really stood out to me while I was keeping up with different shows this season. I absolutely loved her looks for Jason Wu and Marc Jacobs. There is something super quirky and crazy about her. I think it's extremely charming how she doesn't seem to take herself too seriously. We were born on the same day of the same year (August 12th, 1992) as well. So she's like my more beautiful, more amazing counterpart.

Also, homegirl invited Harry Styles to watch her at the Burberry show. 

Mmm, on a side note, Aaron Paul looks like such a babe *.*

3. My Dylana + Natalie Suarez x Modern Vice JETT Boots

 

The fact that I honestly fell in love with these boots the minute I laid eyes on them + my growing adoration of Natalie Suarez made the purchase of these JETT's a no brainer. They are the most amazing boots I currently own. They honestly go with pretty much everything, from baby doll dresses to skinnies to high waisted shorts. I can't wait until Fall and Winter (or lack there of here in Florida) because I am going to be wearing these babies every damn day.

Here are a few photos I snapped on Instagram of me & my JETT's:

 

 4. Leandra Medine of The Man Repeller

 

It is almost insane how much I look up to this woman. I swear everything that she puts on her body and everything that comes out of her mouth is pure gold. I can really relate to her 'man repelling' outfit choices. I love her writing and I also love her weird attitude. I love that she calls lots of bracelets 'arm parties' and/or 'arm soirees'. I'll forever be a Man Repeller groupie.

5. Oversized Denim Shirts

My dad lives in Hong Kong and I begged him to send me a few of his older denim shirts and this is my favorite of the things that he sent me. It's a Levi's black denim shirt and I wore it today with some teeny tiny shorts underneath so that I wouldn't flash anyone at school. I paired it with some leopard flats that I bought the last time I was in HK. All in all, the entire ensemble was a homage to Hong Kong (missing you).

Love,

Aisha
