You're from the seventies, but I'm a nineties bitch

So yesterday was my last day at American Apparel; I was very sad indeed, but there was a conflict of interest with Macy's so I had to do it since I will be with Macy's for at least a year.  I definitely hope to be back sometime in the future though, but for now I will just have to satisfy my cravings by shopping in the store.  It was probably the best job I had in retail, mostly because I was able to work with people around my age and I really like their clothes.  If you ever get recruited to work there, you should definitely take up the offer:)  So Tim and I celebrated with dinner at Giovanni Pastrami.  My margarita was almost as expensive as my dinner, so next time I think I'll just have water.
 

 Anyway, its crunch time for graduation and there's still so much to do: internship notebook, program portfolio, powerpoint and oral presentation.  I bought my cap and gown today and I wasn't really excited about it until the cashier said, "congratulations."  That's when it hit me.  I cannot wait to finally be done with school, but I've been in it for so long that I don't know how I'll take having a full time job, but that's life.  In my internship class last week we talked about where we might be in the next 30 years.  I really don't know what I'll be doing that far ahead, but I can say that once I finish my contract with Macy's I may move on to other things.  Who know what the future holds.

Here are some random photos from this past week:

 

Full Speed Ahead

Glazers: Caramel latte, hazelnut mocha

  Hi again!  Yesterday, while I was at my grandma and grandpa's house my aunty called in from Boston.  She's also in the industry so I told her about my internship and she gave me great advice and really inspired me to do whatever I can as far as research and personal projects go.  I currently follow fashion blogs and try to keep myself updated on trend reports and fashion news, but working on my own projects, like this blog can really open my eyes to things that otherwise might go unnoticed.

 So anyway, today Tim and I stopped off for some morning coffee at Glazer's.  I ordered a hazelnut mocha and it was delicious!  I don't drink caffeine, but after today I might give in.  After staying to read the latest issue of Honolulu Weekly (there was a very interesting article on tattoos called "The Human Canvas" and I hope to make it to the exhibit before it ends in January), we headed to Waikiki for some Marukame Udon.  It's been a while since we've been here.  In my opinion, they have the best, cheapest udon (you can watch them make their noodles in the restaurant) and there is always, always, always a long line outside; even before opening.  If you are ever in Waikiki I suggest you try it.  It's located on Kuhio Avenue right across Duke's Lane.  Along the way I snapped photos of window displays I thought were interesting, but we didn't have much time to walk around so I'll probably be back to the strip soon.  We stopped at the Forever 21 before heading back.  I must say this has got to be my favorite F21 in the state (I don't really shop there often though) because of it's neat, well merchandised floors.
