Gala for the Arts

Another event included in Gainesville Fashion Week was the Gala for the Arts. The event was comprised of: a silent auction which included the art pieces from Wednesday's art show, designs by Jacquelyn Brooks, an art competition & exhibit, dancing, and dinner. Although I didn't actually attend, my friend, Andres Farfan (click to see his website!), who is a professional photographer, was able to get stunning pictures from this amazing event! Here are some of the pictures he took at Gala for the Arts!

Gainesville Fashion Week

This week is the annual "Gainesville Fashion Week", where local fashion designers get a chance to showcase their unique and trendy designs! The beginning of the week starts with a local art gala, in which my sister, Lucía, put up some of her art work! :) The art event brought in all of the designers, models, artists, musicians, make up artists, event planners, stylists, and organizers involved! Here are some pictures from the "pink" carpet!

It's official: Spring time is here!

As we officially welcome spring into our lives, we welcome not only the warmer weather, but longer nights, beach trips, barbecue's, bright flowers, and warm smiles :) Spring is a time for relaxation and beauty, and I'm grateful that it's all around.

                            

Bull

Sometimes when you don't feel like going out and you end up convincing yourself to is when you end up having the most fun. This was definitely one of them :) Here are some pics from a night out at Bull!

Bonjour Printemps!

So as all Floridians know, the weather can be sort of bipolar. One day it is so freezing you can't have enough sweaters on, but then the next day it is so hot you will sweat with pants on! As us students try to find a happy medium every day, it becomes a bit of a hassle. However these last few days have been absolutely perfect. Spring is close by, and it seems like the cold air is quickly drifting away. I can only hope that the days remain this perfect, and that we can say goodbye to our coats and scarves!

Under African Skies

These pictures are from a night at the Harn Museum which was named "Under African Skies". I went to watch my sister perform for her African dance class. I got there a little earlier however, so I discovered an african fashion show going on right before. There were also arts and crafts tables and new exhibitions. The dresses were so intricate and beautiful, and the dance was amazing and really entertaining! What a fun night! :)

Golden Year

So I know these photos are long overdue, and my blogging has been really slow lately. But regardless, here are some pictures of my 20th birthday dinner with some close friends! Most of the photo credit goes to my wonderful friend Maria Finkernagel! Check out her blog!
