Learning about Fashion

I ask: can one learn everything about fashion, or is one born into fashion? Should one go and study fashion in a fashion school in California? Or should one just practice fashion to be able to learn what it is about? Whether you consider Paris Hilton a fashion icon, or you think Audrey Hepburn still holds the title most fashionable person of all times we are entitled to our opinion. But if one wants to know about the real fashion score, the ins and outs of the business, then one must start searching for good fashion schools in Los Angeles. As much as there are people who are born into fashion, this isn't the case for everyone. Sometimes if not oftentimes, one must study if one wants to specialize and do well in an industry. Most employers would look for a good qualification showing credentials from one of the best fashion schools in California. This makes a whole lot of difference to a prospective employer. This is at least in my opinion, if I were a businesswoman in the fashion industry.

CityScope: San Diego, California, USA

I have been to San Diego once when I was young, and my only memory of it is the long drive from Los Angeles, to visit the San Diego Zoo!! It was quite a memorable one as that was one of the first few zoos I've ever visited. But looking back at it now, I don't remember much of it really. As I have No memories whatsoever of other tourist attractions, San Diego landmarks, or even restaurants in San Diego.

Now that I can actually plan my own holiday, I usually do a lot of research prior to the trip. And one of the essential searches, just like anything, is to find out about the tourist spots. This includes must visits such as : San Diego Restaurants, parks, beaches, museums, events worth seeing.

Should you find yourself heading that part of the world, be sure to visit at least one of San Diego's beaches/shore area (Blacks Beach, La Jolla Shores, La Jolla Cove, Children's Pool, Pacific Beach, Windansea, Mission Beach, Mission Bay Beach, South Mission, Ocean). Or do try the City's reservoir for other outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, hiking, jetskiing, etc.

Likewise, do NOT miss the opportunity to sample local San Diego dining, as this experience is at par with other cities of the world. I can name drop a few restaurants but I will not give justice to all, thus so many cuisines offered, catering to all budget, or ambiance. Do let us know if you have any one particular favorite resto, and I shall add that to my must see/visit on my next trip to that sunny San Diego!!

Raising bilingual kids
