Designer Collaborations

Hello!!! It has been way too long since my last post. It's been a very busy and exciting month and even though I haven't had much free time, it's totally been worth it. The theme for today is designer collaborations. The two outfits I'm wearing are both from Target's latest collaboration with Phillip Lim. Love these pieces! Yes, I was one of the crazy people who stalked it online at the stroke of midnight to make sure I got what I wanted.  I believe I went to bed at 4 am that night. I plan on doing it again once Isabel Marant releases her H & M collection in just 2 short weeks and once again when Peter Pilotto does theirs for Target.  Who knows, maybe one day I'll get my very own collaboration. I feel like it could be possible with the way things have been going lately. Or maybe I'm just delusional. haha But seriously I've had my fair share of good news over the past month after a very trying and challenging period. I found out that I have been selected to showcase my collection during New York Fashion Week in February 2014.  When I got that email, I literally started jumping for joy.  And then I was lucky enough to give stylist Johnny Wujek a few of my dresses to show Katy Perry.  And then I have been working stylist Deb Waknin on a couple of E! shoots with the Kardashians. So, it's all been great and I am very excited about all of the new possibilities.  For more updates follow me on instagram! @rochellecarino

Bye for now! Have a wonderful afternoon :)

My Favorite Things

Today was one of those blah kind of days. And on days like this I need some help to get me through. So in the immortal words of Julie Andrews....I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel so bad..

1. Chris
2. Monkeys (especially Winston my giant stuffed one)
3. My crazy turtle Gabbana
4. Fashion and playing dress up
5. Peanut butter toast with fresh strawberries
6. Upbeat, borderline cheesy music especially 80's
7. Bright colors and bold prints
8. Word puzzles and Scrabble
9. Feathers
10. Anything sparkly
11. Dancing (especially S Factor )
12. Getting cozy in my blankie
13. Learning new things
14. Being silly and laughing
15. Girly movies and cartoons

Those were the first things to come to mind. And see, all is right in the world once more. What are your favorite things?

So my absolute favorite song right now is Katy Perry's new song "Roar". I had it on repeat while I was driving today. It's my personal anthem at the moment. The lyrics really get me.
