Jourdan Dunn
I hate to be the bearer of bad news so if you haven't heard yet prepare yourself... Jourdan Dunn is pregnant. I found out via text, and I'll add that it was one of the worst text messages I've received all week. Of all models why Dunn? and more importantly why now? She's in my mental rolodex of iconic models, and it makes me sad to hear that she's going be on the sidelines for a bit. But, on the bright side another beautiful baby will be brought into the world and hey all jokes aside we may even get a maternity line out of this :D.

Do I Dare Say "Perfection!"?
Flaunt Magazine gives us a short story inspired by their latest cover. This model has amazing eyebrows, hair, and outfits. If I could make phone calls look this sexy you'd see me at your local phone booth everyday... Well, at least until I ran out of spare change haha.

Campus Couture
With the absence of the normal fashion scene during Los Angeles Fashion Week it is refreshing to see that the fashion majors at Cal State Long Beach are still going strong and will be putting on the 21st Campus Couture fashion show Wednesday.
Every year it seems the show gets better and better, and Wednesday at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center will be no different.
Event-goers should expect to see a variety of garments from juniors and seniors. Junior designers have the opportunity to design a shirt and jacket, while the senior designers will have a little more freedom to create multiple pieces.
Although the students have to follow guidelines in the classroom, they have complete creative control over their designs.
“Personally, I think this show is the best thing I’ve done in college,” Tyler Rodriguez said. “We’ve done a really good job so far, I think. It looks like it’s going to be a really solid show.”

Students In Fashion
After participating in Kaleidoscope at California State University, Long Beach, I realized joining the fashion club "Students in Fashion" was one of the best decisions I have made throughout my college career. My initial objective was to gain experience in fashion to make my resume look a little bit brighter, and I did that. (After a long weekend at BOXeight studios as a personal slave for the unorganized producers for Los Angeles Fashion Week, then as a dresser and usher at the actual shows, I was able to finally say that I had experience in the fashion industry. However, I had no idea that I would end up meet interesting people and actually enjoy their company. "Students in Fashion" gives you the opportunity to network and more importantly socialize with people who have similar interests. This is important, because if you are anything like myself, you go to class and head straight home. Although your completing the task of going to school this boring pattern keeps your social standing at level one; because you never get a chance to actually know people who you are constantly around you. If you are a student at CSULB, I would definitely recommend becoming a member of "Students in Fashion". You will have to pay a small fee of admission, around $45. But, the cost is minor compared to all of the people you will meet and all of the things you will learn. I look forward to seeing you at the meetings on every other Wednesday next semester.

Landing an Internship
Whether you were inspired by Lauren & Whitney, "Running in Heels", or your childhood aspirations, I'm sure you have come to the realization that getting an internship isn't as easy as it seems. In my opinion finding your dream internship is like finding a needle in a haystack, however it is possible, and once you do find it you will notice the search was well worth it.

Malinda Williams is Tomboy Chic
During my internship at mystyle.com I got a chance to interview a few wonderful actresses. I'm going to post a few of the stories here. The first is with Malinda Williams and yes she looks like a little doll in person :D
To outsiders it may seem as though starlet Malinda Williams has always been effortlessly stylish. However, in her younger years she wasn't always so glamourous "well growing up I was kind of tomboy so I never wore dresses," said Williams. "So, now that I’m a woman I feel that there is a little bit of an edge to it because I feel that I still have a little bit of that tomboy in me."
Since tuning in to her inner-fashionista, Williams likes to splurge on luxurious bags... a Dooney & Bourke Python Bag to be exact. "It's my baby," she raved. "Listen, I walk in the room and see women just stop and look. It's stunning. And that’s what I see when I walk in the room the women are stunned and then I go about my business. But yeah, that’s my latest splurge I told my husband that its my new boo," laughed Williams.
When it comes to finding a great deal Williams knows how to invest wisely "Oh, my Mabelline great lash mascara. That’s it for me I'm not going to the department store for my mascara".
Check Malinda out in her new film "Nailed" with Jessica Biel.
