Friday was my school's art fair, my favorite event of the year. A few of the student designers had their pieces on display, in hopes of attracting new customers. Amanda Seagle's (the designer of AS ONE) collection was by far my favorite. I am a huge fan of tie dye, so her pairing of "silky" fabric with tie dye to create a chic rather than casual look received high marks in my book. So naturally I waited to order something from her; I have my eye on a pair of harem trousers, which she wore at our school's fashion show. Next to her table was my friend Rosie's, who was selling mostly jewelry. I had six dollars in my wallet and desperately wanted to purchase something from her. I settled on a five dollar paper necklace. Sounds pretty boring, right? Far from, its color scheme is mesmerizing and the chain details add edge.

Its nautical beading on the chest pocket and gold buttons are my favorite part. Who knew my mom had taste? The blazer is pretty large for my petite frame, but luckily my mom said she's willing to have it tailored if I'm actually going to wear it.
Also, if you are interested in the fashion industry, you should pick up The Teen Vogue Handbook. Anna Wintour (editor in chief of Vogue) said its "an indispensable resource for anybody who aspires to work as a fashion editor, designer, stylist, photographer, or anywhere, really, in the fashion industry." Check it out!
