JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS

Where the weather isn't wonderful but it isn't horrible. Granted, it's May so it should be sunny and warm everyday, but if you live in Eastern/Central Europe you know that's a common wish amongst people here. I, myself, am not used to having semi-warm weather in May, where I grew up in the States it is warm starting mid-April so this is sort of a weather-shock to me. I'm dreaming of warm air and sunny days (Barcelona in almost exactly a month, EEP!)

I'm spending the rest of the afternoon sitting on my balcony, sipping on some Vitamin C-mix drink to prevent from catching the spring bug, listening to Ashtrays and Heartbreak, writing my final College Fashionista post of the semester AAAAND finishing last minute university work. So, it looks like I am doing a lot but being outside makes it seem like nothing at all...I'm okay with that! I probably am breaking some windows and eardrums with my sad attempt at singing along but hey, that's a chance I am willing to take.

For all you dedicated readers out there, you know how I talked about the book I am writing a few weeks ago? Well...I've hit another writer's block. That's the only negative side of being a writer, you frequently have such creative ideas that you cannot wait to get down on paper (or into the computer now-a-days) that when you do, you write so quickly and when you look back you think "what the hell was I thinking?" So, I've been editing and perfecting the last four chapters for about a month now and cannot get past chapter 4 to start chapter 5. Therefore, I am taking a little writing break for now but will definitely start soon and post a little teaser before I send it off to some publishers.

Now enough about my writing problems and as promised, I am including my fashion bit at the very end of the post (starting this week and will be once or twice a week). Basically, just three pieces I am loving at the moment that I want to share with all of you!
So, this week ladies:
1. Faux leather overalls 
2. Hologram sandals
3. White maxi dresses

Gents:
1. Washed denim jacket
2. Neon chinos
3. Ombre v-necks


The Czech Republic post will go live Wednesday morning, which is also the birthday of one of my very dear friends here in the Czech Republic so a little shout-out to her will be made in the beginning!

SPRING IN THE GOLDEN CITY

The past few days have been filled with sun, warm breezes and good company. Therefore, I have been MIA, yet again, my deepest apologizes!

The end of the spring semester (I only have 4 semester left...what?!) is quickly approaching so the pressure is on and I'm trying to knock all my work out as soon as possible. Also, since I am moving to another flat within the next month, I am trying to keep the stress down.
With the flowers blooming and weather, it's becoming increasingly harder to do so because there are one too many temptations just drop it all and head to the beer garden or the park with my girls. Nothing beats Czech beer either, so the temptation is unbelievable. I keep telling myself to get my work done, study for my finals then I can enjoy Czech beer while walking across Charles Bridge and attempt to tan my extremely pale skin...pretty sure I could blind someone at this point in time...

For my fashion internship with CollegeFashionista, I have been busy typing away various articles on the adorable spring wardrobes of students around campus. My recent articles have inspired me to share a cute look with the ladies who read Traveling with Wanderlust. This season I am loving skater skirts, studded/spiked sandals and graphic tees. I need to get back home to America for the summer so I can stock up at Forever 21!

I am going to work on the last part of the Italy post this evening then I will write a post (the following day), that is somewhat personal, about how I discovered my passion for writing. I love sharing this story with others and actually wrote a book on it that I sent to publishers...still waiting to hear back from several. So, you will get to read a little about me- a break from daily travel posts.

Back to class- travel on wanderlusters!

P.S. For those of you dedicated Gossip Girl fans, like myself, check out my latest article on College Fashionista...inspired by Blair Waldorf! 

MAGAZINE NEWS!

Listen of the night/day: Just One Last Time by David Guetta ft. Taped Rai...you know I actually had the opportunity to possibly see David Guetta in concert when I was in Rome a month ago. I should have gone, I would love to experience another concert like Swedish House Mafia.

So, my internship emailed me some pretty exciting news tonight that made me get all excited and squeal-y in class tonight. My internship is teaming up with Vanity Fair, you know that super famous women's magazine, and for their 100 Best Dressed issue, they are letting us submit our own street style photos to be considered for the magazine! I will most definitely be taking part in that because I mean how cool would it be to be featured in VANITY FAIR?!

Off to sleep and dream about a nice, warm vacation. Travel on!

P.S. since today was somewhat of an inspiration Tuesday...I should share one of my favorite posts from one of my favorite fashion bloggers, Chiara Ferragni. It's an awesome post that I read over and over again whenever I'm in need of some inspiration. Here it is: http://www.theblondesalad.com/2012/05/show-your-potential.html

The Email That Changed My Spring Semester

So, while sitting in a coffee shop this evening, having our first official "business" meeting and organizing the blog/website/clothing line...I check my email, mid-sip from the holy grail (the coffee is heaven and in a grail shaped cup)...and what did I receive?

A big, wonderful, CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations what though? Congratulations I'm pregnant? Congratulations you looked like a smelly mess today? Congratulations there's a llama farm in the middle of Prague with your name as the title? No no no silly. Congratulations because I got the fashion internship I was crossing my fingers for about two months for! 

I did a loud wiggle in my seat, accompanied with some squealing which caused the really confused stares, which then was followed by some fist-punching in the air. Yes, Jersey Shore style...

The website is called CollegeFashionista and it's fantastic. For students who are in college and love fashion instead of just going to class in stinky, wrinkly PJ's and sweats. The website is for students in colleges all across the United States and even internationally. I discovered the site when looking through blogs and was really hooked. I then wondered if my school, in Prague, was featured...it wasn't. So, I was ballsy and decided to email the founder and suggest Prague be included. I received an email back saying I should fill out and application and give them a sample of what I got (photos and writing).

A month later, I get the acceptance email. I am so so thrilled to be part of the CollegeFashionista family and start the Prague universities' page. This is also pretty exciting for my business partner and I because we are hoping that some of the students in our university will begin wearing our DIY clothing line so it will promote our new DIY community and clothing line. So many fantastic opportunities, I am more than grateful for them.

If you haven't checked the site out, you most definitely should. Pretty inspiring!
