Spring/Summer Fashion Hits and Misses

A girl's best friend.. 

Fashion, clothing, accessories, shoes! It's a guilty pleasure for many if not all girls to love. As for I, growing up in one the top fashion capitals of the world plus having a mother who works in the fashion industry, it is no question about why I love fashion the way I do. It's quite an obsession and I could qualify as a shopaholic in the eyes of many, including my family and friends. What is there not to love? It is fascinating to have the ability to put 2 or 3 items together to make a perfect outfit; also there isn't just one style there are a multitude of various different styles: for example preppy, hipster, bohemian, edgy, etc. All equally beautiful and all equally accepted by any social group. On the flip side, there are certain trends, fads, etc. that just don't mix well nor are visually appealing. Today I'll be discussing my favorite trends that have appeared in runways, red carpet events, and in the streets as well as my least favorite trends occurring now for the spring and summer of 2014. 

Hits

Stripes 

Skater skirts 

Floral or geometric patterns 

Lace

High waisted shorts/skirts 

Pastels 

Muscle graphic tank tops 

Wedges

Misses 

Sweatpants 

Shear 

Cut outs 

Hats (fedoras) 

Double Denim 

Frill 

I understand some people enjoy what I find to be ill-pleasing where some people wouldn't have the same taste in style as I do. We are all entitled for our own opinion     . Speakin of, what trend can you not get enough of right now?

Spring Break 2014

The end is near...

This past week was my spring break and it was a very much needed break. I have grown to be so tired of school that it was a real struggle to find the motivation to get up from bed at 6 AM and head to be in the concrete walls of my school.

Spring break! One would think fun in the sun, beautiful trees blooming in preparation for the summer to come. Unfortunately for me, I was in a cold and wet city that even though is was pretty (ish) the cold made it feel like another winter break. It even snowed! Why would it snow in the middle of April!? Questions I cannot answer unfortunately because I'm still dumbfounded. 

There is always a light at the end of a dark tunnel. I am very happy that I was able to spend time with my mother, brother, and my cousin Vilma considering that I haven't seen them since my birthday a month prior because of school. Also I bought my prom dress and any necessities I would need to make my dress and myself smoking hot for the big day. Related with senior year, I made the decision to commit to a college.  I will have a whole new post one day exposing my decision. 

Thank you so much for reading!

Until next time,

Summer TBR 2014!

Summer is almost here...

For me this means plenty of things: no school, warm weather, late nights, and did I say no school already? One of the reasons I enjoy being away from school is that I get to read... all the books I wanted to read but couldn't because of the countless assignments I've been assigned. And today I'm going to conjure up a list of books that I hope to read this summer. There are several series I plan on finishing/starting but also "Lone" books as well. 

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

• Aside from having an amazing name like Rainbow, she is an amazing author and if this book hits me hard in the heart just like her other book, Eleanor & Park. This book will be one of my favorites. 

Divergent by Veronica Roth

• I've been nagged plenty of times by my friends to read the first installment of the Divergent series for a long time. But after watching the movie, I changed my thoughts about it. Divergent is intriguing and definitely makes you think of how society is today. I am definitely looking forward to reading the book, even though I've spoiled myself with the ending. 

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin

• This 800+ paged novel is the second installment of the series A Song of Ice and Fire. It had taken me almost a year to complete the first book A Game of Thrones, and I hope to beat my time with finishing book two in the 3 months of summer vacation that I have. 

The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith 

• This newly released novel has 3 distinctive things that had lured me into it's grasp. Firstly, it begins with two people who live in an apartment building in New York City. Secondly, the main male character's has the same name as of my boyfriend. Thirdly, the communicated via postcards! 

The Guild by Felicia Day & Jim Rugg

• Graphic novels have always been interesting to me ever since I was a little child. So much so for a long time in my childhood I wanted to be the person who drew comics like Wonder Woman and the X-Men. (Although this is still a dream of mine to this day). The Guild seems like an amazing graphic novel and come on now, Felicia Day (a.k.a amazing actress/everything) had written the story based off her show on YouTube.

Although my list can go on and on forever. Realistically, I will probably have time to finish half of the list I've presented. I guess I can never be "not-busy". What is on your "To Be Read" list for the summer? 

Thank you for reading!

An Open Letter to Second Semester Seniors

Dear second semester senior,

You're in the last mile stretch, the last inning and many other cheesy sports related sayings before you exit through the doors of your high school and entering a new room filled with mysteries and excitement. For many, including myself, this uncertainty of what lies ahead is the most frightening experience I'll face thus far. But I would suggest that instead of cowering in fear, just to live your life as is to welcome your future with a welcoming embrace. No one really knows what tomorrow or what 5 years from now brings.  Worrying about the future won't make it arrive faster so help make your last few months worthwhile I have several tips for you all.

• Take an abundant amount of pictures.

At any given moment you spend with friends and family is a moment you'd want to keep with forever. And although these memories will always be deep in your brain, later when you wish to remember of the great time you and your friends had while "moon watching" during the Lunar Eclipse in April would be in fragmented shreds of what happened that time. Pictures make it way easier to recount and remember any moment you choose to capture. Another plus to taking pictures, you get to keep them forever or even make an awesome memory board for your best friend as a graduation gift. Take pictures my friends, capture the moment and it's beauty with a simple press of  button. 

• Don't allow "Senioritis" to ruin what you've worked hard to get.

Senioritis- A condition in which someone who is on track to graduating aka a senior in either high school or university feels the need to not give a fuck about anything concerning anything at all. I'm not going to lie, I've been affected with this "condition" ever since the start of the school year but it had reached its full effect when I received a big envelope to the college of my dreams. As much as you/I may want to stop caring about your grades, not go to school, living the senior life just barely passing, it is not worth it.  You worked so hard all through high school to get the grades you got just to throw it away in the end? To me that is sad and pathetic. And depending on how bad your grade dropped, most colleges would indeed take back their acceptance. Only the more reason to at least try to keep your grades the same. It would benefit when it comes to getting awards and recognition on Senior Awards Night. So don't throw away the achievements you worked really hard to get. 

• Plan a road trip/outing with all of your friends.

The weather is finally getting nice (at least up here in the Northeastern part of the United States) from the wrenching cold of the past winter. But never fear the cold any longer because it's spring and soon it will be summer! Best way to celebrate, is to be outside with friends. Go to a new town or city of interest for the day, head to a national park and camp for a night, have a bonfire at the beach, anything at all as long as it involves being out in the sun enjoying the incoming heat of spring and summer. 

• Fix any broken relationships you had in the past.

Let's face it, after graduation there is a very slim chance that you'll see anyone, aside from family and one or two of your best friends. It's better to leave on a good step rather than a sour note. What I'm trying to say is, forget and forgive those involved in all the petty drama. Drama that seems to happen quite often during high school (and I hope not in college). Not only will you feel better but also the other people involved. 

• Have fun.

The best advice I can give is to have fun, don't stress too much about things that are temporary. This is the last year of high school/college, you'll be going off into a new point in your life with new worries and new challenges for you to face when it comes. For now just let loose and have some fun. Make the most of the little time you have left.

With that I leave you to think of the time you have left at your school. Also think back to special moments of the past years. Any interesting memories that come into mind leave them in the comments below. 

Thank you for reading!

Until next time,

A Whole New World

Hello and welcome! 

Welcome to my new blog. A couple years ago, I gave blogging a go for a summer and I had so many things planned and I hoped to expand my abilities in writing but of course my high school career had taken control of my life as I entered 11th grade. I wasn't able to write for my blog any longer seeing as I had nothing to write about, nothing intrigued me anymore, nothing to fall in love with when it came to blogging. Therefore, I stopped trying all together. 

But now, I'm a little older, I am almost done with high school and will be attending university in the Fall. I've grown substantially over from the many hurdles and challenges I had encountered in these past months of my senior year of high school. I began to miss writing, aside from school related work like the countless essays and research papers I've been assigned, and as a result of my itch to write, Krizia's Daily was born!

After a long winded introduction I think it's about time you'd get to know me. My name is Krizia and I am 18 years old. I live in the United States and in a couple of months I will be graduating from High School, definitely a bittersweet experience. I do not know which university I will be attending just yet but you can expect a post to be made when I do come to a concluding decision (sometime around May 1st). I have so many interests and hobbies such as dance, drawing and painting, making YouTube videos, reading, and crafting; just to name a few. I plan on sharing my life and the things that I find exciting with everyone who reads my posts.

Thank you for reading and I'd love it if you commented and gave me some feedback. 

Until next time,
