July 2014 Favorites

Seven months down, five more to go.

Another month has past and honestly it feels like this year is speeding by in a blink of an eye. Now that July is over with, I can reflect on how the month has been. I think it's safe to say that this month has been filled with challenges, changes, and goodbyes, but I wouldn't take it back at all. These are all of my favorites of the month of July.

Big Events

• Acting as tour guide first for my friends Robin and Alex, then my really close friend Zac, and lastly my best friend Danielle; even though it was a lot of walking and practically visiting places in the city that I've been seeing since I was a baby  it was extremely rewarding to see how excited my friends were and just to hang. 
• Beginnings 2014! Beginnings was my pre-orientation for the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford where me and half of the incoming class of 2018 spent 2 days on campus meeting each other and becoming acquainted with the campus and the faculty. I was able to meet so many people and even though I was homesick the first night, I couldn't wait to begin university. Only 22 days left until move in day!

Beauty

• Since it is summer, I try to wear little to no makeup. I've fallen in love with BB creams like Clinique's Age Defense BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30. It has a little bit more cover then a tinted moisturizer. My skin feels like refreshed and it is able to even out any discoloration whenever I wear the product. 
• My go to scent for the summer is Prada Candy L'Eau, the light and fruity version of the darker floral scent of Prada Candy. Like said before, Candy L'Eau smells fruity and is definitely a scent that is perfect for the day, school, etc. 

Music

• Hoodie Allen - No Faith in Brooklyn
• The Weekend - Wanderlust
• Paramore - Still Into You

Blogger and Youtuber

• There is a tie between 2 YouTubers that I can't get enough of watching their videos. They both have something in common and it is their daily vlogs with their families. Both create amazing content and have the cutest babies!
• Judy Travis, aka ItsJudysTime and ItsJudysLife
• Anna Saccone and SacconeJolys
• Thus far I've been reading more and more blogs considering the amount of free time I now have. This month I would say my most visited blog would be Samantha of LifestreamThoughts. Her posts are very insightful and truly inspiring, 

That is all of my favorites for the month of July, and I'm sure I'll have more at the end of August.

Top 3 First Day of School Outfits

Summer soon begins to end,

It is almost time to go back to school and I know what you all are thinking: But,but Krizia Summer has just begun. As much as I wish summer vacation could be a year long event in a matter of a couple weeks I will be moving into my new dorm. My favorite part of the back to school season is shopping for the upcoming year whether it be school supplies or clothing. I just love getting new things, some may even say I'm a shopaholic. Today I have for you 3 different but all equally amazing types of outfits to wear on your first day of school, this could be for high school or college.

Outfit 1: Edgy & Polished

About 80 % of my wardrobe consists the color black and I'm okay with that. Usually I like to pare an all black outfit with a pop of color. I suggest two different shoes because not everyone can handle wearing crazy high heels all day long. 

Outfit 2: Boho Chic

When you're in a rush because you've hit the snooze button way too many times this is the perfect outfit for you. You can easily slip them on and head out the door. You'd look put together and everyone would think you'd spent hours with this outfit when in reality it takes less than 5 minutes.

Outfit 3: Simple & Comfy

Some mornings I have no motivation to dress up and an outfit like this one allows me to feel comfortable yet put together. We all know classrooms are always zero degrees so wearing a cardigan will help when you're feeling chilly. 

I hope I helped in any way, shape or form with deciding on your first day back outfit.

Meet Shiloh Tapia

Welcome to a new member of the Tapia-Francisco-Bruno household,

After years of asking for a pet dog and repeatedly being told no, it was a big surprise when my mother decided to buy a 3 month old Shih Tzu puppy at the pet store. It was definitely love at first sight when I was allowed to hold him and as my mom said "I had to buy him". So she bought him! I knew this will be very hard to adjust to since I live in a small apartment and my family has never owned a pet aside from fish and a couple of hamsters years ago. After getting him my brother and I had to come up with a name and I must say that it is a stressful process. From a list of 20 we narrowed it to four names: Shiloh, Cairo, Milo, and Cosmo.

Ever since we brought Shiloh home last Sunday he has gained 1 ounce which makes him to be 4 pounds and 13 ounces. He is very playful and loves to lay on the floor sprawled out like a rug. So far we are teaching him how to come to us on command, answer to his name, and to sit. All of which he has mastered! 

I already love Shiloh so much and I'm going to miss him a lot while I am in college. Therefore, I'm trying to enjoy him as much as I can now while I can. I hope you all enjoy my pictures of Shiloh and don't worry I'll post some more on my Instagram!

Thank you for reading!
