When I am not occupied with school work , two of the things I enjoy doing most are writing and starting DIY projects. Now that the summer is upon us , I started a small but time consuming project of renovating my room . I'm in no rush to have it completed , I like the idea of slowly building and getting things here and there to add to it`s character. So far , I have painted the walls a calming sea glass color and have picked up a few knick knacks from local flea markets and shops to add to things I already owned. It should be the warm, inviting oasis I'm envisioning by the end of the summer .<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">June is already upon us...boy, does time FLY! Although we are only 4 days into June, I predict this will be an awesome month for me! I've realized it is definitely time for me to take charge of my future & begin working towards short term goals as well as long term dreams. I aspire to accomplish so many things and each day I feel as if my "Goal List" gets longer. It seems like my life became hectic overnight! I'm not complaining though, because I enjoy being busy. As of right now, I am enrolled in 2 summer courses, working & I have recently applied for an internship at Nicole Miller, in which I hope I am hired (*fingers crossed*). I was also offered the opportunity to volunteer with the company's events and I'm pretty excited! </div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">My dad recently gave me a book to read called,<i> "48 Days to the Work You Love," </i>written by Dan Miller.<i> </i>Uh, borrr-iingg, right? Well, that's exactly what I first thought! I finally decided to crack it open last week and I was surprised at how informative it was. The book touches on SO many topics such as proper resume writing, how to make an impact during interviews, etc. </div><div style="text-align: center;">(basically all the things we dread thinking about, ha ha).</div><br />

We were so lucky to have found this cafe. The treats are delicious and will definitely fill your sweet tooth! We each opted for the red velvet cupcakes. There is a large selection and I can't forget to mention the prices are extremely reasonable which is something Christine & I both look for being struggling college students, aha! I suggest you all pay a visit if you ever get a chance!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Lately, I have found myself confined to the house due to the severity of the weather. Luckily, today I was able to hit up a few local stores and do some light shopping.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Now that the semester has ended, Christine and I hope to post more frequently, as we plan to attend more fashion events, parties, etc and enjoy our summer break! We also expect our lives to continue to be very busy as well as we look for more fashion opportunities together. We have sky high dreams we'd love to accomplish under The Luxe Standard and we will keep you all updated with our journey as we propel the "brand" to greater heights. Christine and I are in the works of beginning a small (for now) styling and consultation business. Our first step was ordering business cards, and we are anxious for their arrival so we can finally work towards our dreams of taking on the fashion world as a duo! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Today was the most lighthearted day I have experienced in a few weeks. I'd almost forgot what it felt like to be carefree. I love being able to catch reruns of my favorite television shows or kicking back in the bed and checking off outfit ideas from my new J.Crew catalog. Earlier today, I was out running a few errands and I'm so excited that the weather is slowly beginning to feel like Spring again! I hope you all are enjoying your weekend so far. It goes fast so make the most of it!</div><br />

The theme this year was <b><i>Springtime in Paris</i></b>. It was definitely a great experience. There were tons of people in attendance, great exhibits, and lots of unique items to buy from the different shops. It was extremely hard for me to choose which photographs I'd share with you all. Unfortunately, I can't post them all because I took over 150 photographs that day! I must say, the individuals responsible for creating each exhibit are BEYOND talented and innovative. If you haven't already done so, I recommend visiting the show next year and experiencing the wonders this event has to offer!<br />

There were tons of designer as well as vintage clothes and accessories. Some of our favorite items were the gorgeous floor length fur coats and the St. John suits. We met the store's our, Caren, who was extremely hospitable as well as those who were helping around the store. They definitely made the experience much more pleasant. We hope to visit the store again in the near future! If you are interested in stopping by, the shop is locatedat 125 S 18th Street in Center City, Philadelphia.</div><br />

The store was closing shortly after we arrived). Below are some beautiful photos from Anthropologie. The architecture of the store is amazing! By the way, we ran across some cute denim parkas that were originally $128 on sale for $29.99, WHAT A STEAL! There will be pics of those in the next post.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> First off, I must apologize for our lack of continuous posting. The second semester of school has recently begun, and Christine and I both have extremely hectic schedules. Balancing our studies and the blog is definitely a task!! Today, Mother Nature hit the city with a blast of heavy snow ( I believe it is hailing as I type). Luckily for Christine her classes were canceled. As for me, I reluctantly dragged myself to school but my third and final class of the day was canceled by the professor. I believe there will be no classes tomorrow as well as this wild weather continues through the night. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

We had plans of light shopping at a few of our favorite spots but the winter chill got the best of us and we ended our shopping a little earlier than expected . We did however make time to visit Milk & Honey ( </span><a href="http://theluxestandard.blogspot.com/2010/11/milk-honey-market-home-of-regions-best.html"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">see our first post about this great market here</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">). The atmosphere is always so inviting and the fact that it`s all locally grown products and vendors makes it even better!</span><br />

We`ve been thinking about different cameras we want to order to take different variations of photos for the blog and other projects, and this is one of them . I(Christine) am also supposed to be taking a photography class during this semester, so we`ll see how that goes. Look forward (or not lol ) to more posts with different series of random photos as we play around with the various forms. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Earlier this evening, Caira and I met up to go over a few "Luxe things". We discussed just about everything possible from making more time to post this semester to the potential growth of this particular project and others. During our time out in University City, we also went over a few questions that have recently been posed to us(we will share them in another post this week!) However, one question in particular was asked of us while we were out that we felt the need to share with our fellow bloggers : <i>what makes us think we`re any different from another fashion blog out there?</i> To be honest, we`re not even sure how to answer that. </span></div><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">The truth is, neither Caira or myself have aspirations to be "big" bloggers. We do not blog for the sake of recognition , for the compliments on "our style", or in hopes of receiving courtesy gifts aha ( all of which the person was implying was the point of style blogs. Ridiculous right? ). Yes, of course we LOVE receiving feedback, but it does not have to be in the form of a compliment for us to appreciate it. We started this blog to simply document our personal everyday experiences and our interest in all things art & fashion. As we further develop our careers, we hope to document those experiences as well.</span></div><br />

<div style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Are we looking to make blogging our career? Not so much . Do we find anything wrong with those who do? Ofcourse not. We admire those who are able to take this and turn it into truly remarkable works of art! Getting back to the question =) , one way or another, all of us do have the same intial reason and that is , for the love of fashion whether it be simply surface or for "deeper" causes. (Many would argue there is nothing to fashion other than it's surface and we`d love to prove differently,but that's a different discussion (: ) .</span></div><br />

Some women choose to add a touch of femininity to the look while others prefer to maintain the classic quality minus the flair.
