6:30 am: I wake up at this Monday through Thursday. Friday I wake up at 7 am and on the weekends it is 10. I need atleast 8 hours on the weekend for me to fully enjoy it. I wake up and do my daily routine, get out of my bed, which is hard to do and prepare myself and begin the day. I have an idea of what i will wear the next morning before i sleep, but i usually chose my outift in the moment. Im quick in the morning. I dont need much time. I run to my closet where nearly all my jeans are assorted by color, designer and season. My jackets, shoes, coats and outerwear are on racks in a guest room. I most often wear dark wash jeans or chinos with a button down followed by a sweater. I have over 40 pairs of pants and nearly 30 sweaters. From all designers, mostly French and Italian. Recently I have really into Moschino, Raf Simons, Coming Soon and Diesel, who has always been a close friend. I wear sneakers everyday, ranging from whore converse high tops to Puma Alexander McQueen to Y-3 to Moschino. Accesories are laid out on a dresser. I go with an Emporio Armani or Montblanc watch during the week and either Hermes or Gucci bracelts. I feel naked without something around my wrist. I never am fully dressed without some sprays from a favorited cologne. I get nearly all my colognes from gifts. My friends know I like to smell good. Now I am usually wearing Versace Man, Emporio Armani or Calvin Klein Eternity. On the weekends I wear Gucci Guilty. It's the sexiest cologne there is. Smelling good automatically increases your appeal. I take my bag with me. Either an Emporio Armani or Louis Vuitton messenger bag on the weekends and grey and black Oakley bag to school. I would shower and meditate in the morning but i do not have enough time.
7 AM: Breakfast is prepared for me by the time I am in the kitchen. I don't have much of an appetite this early but I usually eat the same thing: assorted fruits, strawberry yogurt, bran cereal and the occasional warm indian spiced tea. It soothing. And always accompanied by a chocolate biscotti. My first one of the day.
7:30: I arrive to school by car and am in class right before the bell rings. I have a Italian, German or Economics first. Given my special ability to learn languages, I don't mind my academic morning.
10:30 I often bring a lunch but sometimes buy a sandwich or salad from my school. I try to eat something light and drink two or three bottles of water throughout the day. Being hydrated is important and it instantly improves your skin tone. I people watch during lunch and am searching for inspirations. My school is great for that. All sorts of styles are combined and the outfits are incredible. Studs, leather, pearls, Prada, Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors are big.
2:15 school is out and I am one of the first to leave. When I am home, my day my day begins. I am checking emails and responding. If I have an event in the evening that I have to go to, I focus on that: what I will wear, what I will bring and who I will go with. I also entertain a lot. I entertain evening parties usually once a month, ranging guests from 10-60 people. During the next hour is when I am working on my schedule and college work. My friends often call me to make plans, book future outings or am calling for advice or to tell me to check out a new collection. It's usually street fashion talk. Most of my friends and I love music and literature and are discussing these topics as well.
4:00 pm: I am out of the house, I get a coffee and usually head to the mall or meet with a friend to discuss new products and trends we feel will be coming up. For my friends in photography and In art, we are working on the portfolio or for local inspirations. Well, throughout my whole day i am searching for inspirations. There's a spectacular mall near to me that I always go to. High fashion and executive style from the people. Once there, I am speaking with associates about new products, trends and upcoming excitements. Recently I have been in Burberry and Louis Vuitton and have been exposed to new items. Very exciting. I usually buy one or two things a week, anything from a nice button down Ralph Lauren shirt to a pair of Joe's from Saks. I have a light snack now to keep my energy high. Usually an apple or if it's the weekend, it's another chocolate biscotti.
6:00 pm. My work is complete an now have the evening to enjoy. I go to the gym during this time because I enjoy the motivating feeling of all the other people working on their fitness. It's a upbeat energy. I workout for an hour or so and am running or doing some sort of cardio. Yoga has always been a popular pastime for me. If I have an event to go to, I am often getting ready and am on my way.
7:15 pm: I take a steam shower when I am home and get to work on my blog. I am searching through dozens of magazines and online articles and other blogs to spot upcoming designers, new trends, upcoming colors and styles. I am reading up on the biographies of designers and fashion houses. My favorite fashion magazine is Harpers Bazaar. Infact, it is the only fashion magazine I am currently subscribed too. I am a true academic when it comes to fashion. I am scanning for new models and calling all my friends in search of their opinion. I have great fashion books as well. I am surrounded by inspiration all day. My friends know fashion.
10:00 pm: my blog entry is either finished or near completion and my mind is starting to relax. I often read at this time. I read everything but mostly fiction and poetry. I am obsessed with Rainer Maria Rilke and his outlooks on life, love, death, family and loneliness. I also am a Shakespeare fanatic.
11:00 pm: I am studying for tests and listening to music. On my iPod is Florence and the Machine, Mumford & Sons, Miranda Lambert, Coldplay and Lady Gaga. I eat a third chocolate biscotti. The night is my inspiration. It's full of mystery.
11:30 pm: I am in the bath and finally have reached some peace of mind. For me, a warm bath is not only soothing and peaceful, but it's my opportunity to meditate. I add in some lavender oil. I am usually in the bath for a half hour up to an hour. I use a great Diesel gel douche and recommended facial products: Armani, YSL or Versace. If I have gone out, I will usually be arriving home this time of night.
Midnight: I am in bed just before midnight. My room is like a loft; it is comfortable and its my own sacred space. I wear the same design of shirts to bed every night. A Lacoste or Diesel tee. Last night I wore a red Us Open Lacoste tee a friend gave me. I'm also wearing Diesel, G-Star or Calvin Klein briefs to bed. They're comfortable. With some luck I am asleep soon after midnight and am dreaming about future vacations.
