One of my favorite parts of being an accessories intern is getting to play with and try on jewelry. My love for jewelry started early on when my god-father bought me my first 14k gold bracelet when I was in kindergarden. Since then I've had an assortment of jewelry such as necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets. I'm lucky that in my past internship experiences I've gotten to be both an accessories and jewelry intern at the same time. Below you'll find a short interview I did with jewelry designer Karen of k2o by Karen Ko.
Me: Hi Karen thanks for taking the time to answer a few questions I had about your jewelry collection. So tell me a little about your brand/ collection, inspiration, textures etc.
Karen: My fashion forward jewelry brand, k2o by Karen Ko is inspired by art deco/ geometric shapes with a dash of glamour and edge. k2o by Karen Ko consists of three lines Glam, Rock, and Pop where each piece meticulously handcrafted into eye-catching statements using Swarovski crystallized elements, resin spikes, casted metal and delicate chains.
Me: So Karen give me and our readers a little more in depth feel about your three lines, break it down for us.
Karen: Well Victor this fall season our inspiration is as follows for each line:
k2o GLAM: a continuation of our core style: art deco shapes but with a 1920s twist.
k2o Rock: a more feminine take on the punk rock trend with a focus on spider webs, nets and delicate spikes.
k2o Pop: our modern geometric woven designs come in this season's hottest colors: emerald green, denim blue, ruby red, pale lilac, and bright orange.
Me: Oh Karen I'm in love with your rings! Do you mind if I show my readers some of my favorite pieces?
Karen: Victor feel free, I hope they love them as much as you do! Xx
The Helix ring set is amazing and only $60. This is a definite buy and will serve a great purpose for my fall accessory look.
Hand Bracelets are the accessory statement of the moment! Featuring intricate chain details and delicate gold chains, our Thread Hand Bracelets can be worn on it's own or stacked with your favorite bracelets and rings.
The petite crystal ball comes this fall's top 5 color trends to keep you fashionably stylish. Each ring features sparkly Swarovski crystals handwoven onto a sterling silver 'X' ring.
I hope you all enjoyed my interview with Karen of k2o. If you like what you've seen so far go ahead and head over to her site and shop till you drop.

For me traveling in NYC can be a pain especially when having to carry a bag on a train crowded with people and their bags swinging all over the place knocking your bag off your shoulder lol ughhh that gets on my nerves! After many fallen bags and elbow pokes from New Yorkers I've decided to break out my carry-all bag from American Apparel. I love that they come in so many different colors and sizes. I myself like to pack light when traveling to the city for a few hours then back to Brooklyn so I grab my carry- all throw in my iPad2 a few snacks, phone charger, hand sanitizer , headphones & go. Below is a typical day where I have nothing to do so I spend a few hours to run errands.
It's not to too cold in New York but being that I'm from Southern California and even though I've lived here for almost three year I'm still not use to this sudden cold weather lol don't judge me for having on this coat so soon lol.

For the last two years I've been the Accessory Intern at various magazines as you all know and I've loved every minuet of it! Now after many talks with different boss's over those two years I've finally decided to take a break from editorial/magazines and doing market work to join the other side. Yes (PR) ahhhhhhhhh I know me, the boy who was always scared of the Pr world and those tall, chic Pr girls that wear all black and high buns in their hair ahhhhhhhh lol. So I'm starting at a well known and respected fashion house this fall to do in house Pr. I'm veryyyyyy nervous because I DO NOT want to mess anything up! I know sometimes my nervousness gets in the way but I'm going to go in there and do my best at learning everything I can. In my interview they seemed a bit hesitate to move forward with me mainly because I have done nothing but editorial internships but I convinced them that I'm a fast learner and I can handle whatever is thrown at me! I start the 19th of August and cannot wait to do so! Although that 3 avenue walk from 8th ave to 11th ave is going to kill me 4 days a week lol yolo!
Here is my new notebook that I write everything in from todo list, blog topics, outfit ideas etc lol I in love with it!

Well, *sigh another holiday stuck in NYC without my family and friends lol it wasn't so bad despite the heat I actually had a lot of fun. Myself and fav couple went started our day at home in Brooklyn at Dunkin Donuts with cold lemonade coolattas then ventured off to downtown Brooklyn. We heard the new Kevin Hart movie was good so we decided to check it out. For the most part it was funny! I myself had doubts but it was worth the $14.00 we paid ahhhhhh NYC is so expensive lol. Theeeeeeeeen we met up with more friends and continued our journey to the Brooklyn promenade to watch the fireworks. When I tell you guys it was pacccccccccccccked and full of people and (children) ahhhh it was! lol as we all waited with anticipation we noticed the firework show happening across the water lol. We all felt like we got punked lol we kinda did but yolo it was nice being by the water and not being hot for once. Below are photos and videos of the incredible view we had. Enjoy!!
