Alameda County Fair

Posted on July 9, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Navy Military Jacket, Gold Strand Necklace and Grey Capris Denim Forever 21 | Gold Embellished Venus Flats Coach | Sunglasses CoachMade it to the final day of the Alameda County Fair on my way back to Berkeley.
It was quite hot, and I feel silly for wearing a jacket, but it makes my outfit! I feel like it is appropriate for the setting. I feel like I just need a couple musicians behind me and I’d be ready to lead a parade!
Mando and I walked around and had some festival food. My favorite was an ice cream dipped in chocolate and coated in almonds and toffee. Yum!
Maybe next time we will go again better prepared because going to the fair was a spontaneous decision. We will need more cash if we want to go on rides and really eat to our heart’s content.

F.A.S.T. Fashion Show: Fantasy

Posted on May 3, 2012by Brandy Saldana

As I noted yesterday, I did not have time to post my own outfit (or take a photo of it) since I was attending the F.A.S.T spring fashion show. The theme of this semester’s show was fantasy, and I had a blast taking photos of these outfits. It is funny, but one of the only reasons I knew about this event is that I signed up for the club my first semester as a Freshmen, and went to about 3 meetings and never was as motivated to design anything. I did enjoy being a part of the front row crowd taking photos with other people. These are not all the outfits showcased, but they are my favorite. I personally believe my best shot is the one of the red dress, just because it reminds me of something Valentino would create. I admire the hard work, craftsmanship, and detail put into each outfit. Maybe someday I will dust off the sewing machine and create my own looks, but until then I will have fun simply styling myself everyday.

Indoor Sky Diving Date

Posted on March 31, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Yes. This post sounds a little strange, but Friday was a paid holiday and I had purchased a Groupon to go indoor sky diving at iFly SF in Union City about 8 months ago. It was a date we had planned on going on for awhile, but since Mando and I both work now, our days off never overlap. This Groupon was also going to expire soon so having this day off allowed us to go ahead and finally try out this experience.

As you can see, we had a good time. It was recommended to wear loose, fitting comfortable clothes and sneakers, which I did.The experience was very surreal. I’ve had dreams before where I could fly, but to actually experience it was awesome! It was not easy in the beginning, especially because you are trying to place your body in a certain position while a huge force of wind is keeping you up. I don’t know if I would ever go sky diving off a plane since I have a small fear of heights, but I would come back here to do some more indoor skydiving! I’d like to learn the tricks and be able to fly higher next time.

After this adventure, Armando and I headed to In-and Out to have some burgers and animal style fries. We then decided to catch a movie since the theater was right next door in the Union Landing Shopping Center. We watched The Hunger Games due to all its recent hype and we were both curious about the movie. ( We had not read the books either). It was a great movie, great cast, and although it was a little disturbing seeing children dying, it was nice seeing in the end that love conquers all.
