When you show your sister your $8k dream dress and she tells you that she still likes the dress you chose better, it makes that affordable dress feel like a million bucks.

I started this blog in January 2010 just as I was moving to NYC to keep my family and friends informed of all of my adventures. Since then, it's become, well, this. So here.. Here are my stories, my thoughts, my rants, my worries, my fears, my hopes and my dreams. Figuring out life as it happens and trying to be the most optimistic person I know. Happy you could join me on my adventure :)

(MOH) Duty Calls
As luck would have it, my closest cousin and I are engaged at the same time! And I am Maid of Honor. It's amazing that we get to experience this special time of our lives together!
As her aunt and I were doing the final preparations, I totally imagined we were Lorelai and Suki! Here are some photos of her bridal shower last weekend, thrown by her bridesmaids, aunts and mother of the bride. (Not pictured: ALL of the delicious food Tita Liz cooked!)

Filipino Hospitality
We've all heard of Southern hospitality. Well, there is something that exists far greater than that. I'm pretty sure somehow, someway, you've experience Filipino hospitality, from a neighbor, a nurse, a classmate, an ex-girlfriend's family. This is a reminder to myself to find this episode of someone trying to explain it.

Travel Tuesday
Last year, I took the most memorable trip to India and failed to document my memories. I have been terrible about this in my travels in general, I think because I feel like I need to write something thoughtful and thought provoking. Sometimes, there's not time for that. Sometimes I can't find the words. And sometimes, pictures are just enough.
So on Tuesdays (mind you, not necessarily every Tuesday), I'll be posting photos from some trip I took at some time, and those pictures may or may not be accompanied by captions.
These are from Agra, February 2015.

Project Jenna
A little more than a week ago, I participated in Jacksonville Magazine's Fashion Project. Nineteen local designers created two looks for their models. Besides the runway show, local boutiques set up pop up booths. Guests shopped, ate, drank and danced the night away.
I was asked if I wanted to participate a little more than a month before, which is plenty of time to put together two looks. The problem was that I was traveling four of those six or so weeks! When I returned to Jax, I had a week and a half to get my looks together. I locked myself upstairs, and felt like I was back a Parsons! It was nice dusting off that sewing machine.
