Introduction.
Name: Amanda Silva
I live in Houston, TX. Photography Major at the Art Institute aka "90grand worth of Debt."
Definitely a punch to the gut but I figure 90k for a piece of paper that claims that my pictures aren't completely dull, is a pretty good deal. I work as a photographer for a local social magazine (RSVPsocial.com) and I am also a personal assistant for this one chic who is basically a socialite here in Houston and is co-owner to the mag (LeslieTylerFink). The job has it's perks but I don't want to go into detail so I'll move on.
I've always wanted to start a blog of some sort, but never actually thought I'd keep up with it (which I still might have a hard time with). I have STARTED many diaries and journals, trying to leave something behind for someone to read. My mark left in the world, I suppose. Unfortunately, life happens and the time seems to slip away from me these days, so I have diaries with possibly 5 pages written on in each. I don't like small notebooks and pens since I'm a lefty and usually end up with ink all over my hand. I figured blogging online would be a less messy method of keeping track of my thoughts.
Goals for this blog?
All I want to accomplish is to document the little thoughts that bounce around in my head.
Share art with the world. Mine, as well as others I admire. This is mostly going to be a fashion based kinda blog. I grew up in a small boring town where Abercrombie is all the rave. LAME! Thankfully though, I finally saw the fashion light. I picked up my first issue of Teen Vogue at HEB of all place and fell omg in love. I feel like true fashion is kind of effortless. It's an expression of who you are. I myself am a pretty laid back kinda gal. RayBans, V-neck, blazer, and cuffed boyfriend jeans...some comfortable shoes (heels now and then). Easy. I love slapping together quirky outfits but often fail to do so simply because some mornings I just don't feel like it. When I do get dressed, I'm always very conscious. Like VERY. I'm scared to look like I'm TRYING to be an 'artsy' person. You know...like those kids at school that give off that "I'm an artist and this is how I express myself" vibe. When I see them in the hallway I'm like "Ha. Yeah, you're real cool. Those zebra stripes and skinny jeans truly do express who you are as an artist. Super original." I just don't consider that fashion. That's called being a poser thanks to Hot Topic (which I was guilty of buying at one point in my life, I admit). Ahhhh ok enough! Random thought overload!!!!

This post is done! I spend the day in Austin and I'm super duper tired so I'm gonna jet.
