Dresses for "The Backup Plan"
Yep... My friends Rowan and Carmen came over last night to choose the perfect dress to wear to the "cast and crew" premiere and party. Rowan is in the movie! How cool!
But even cooler is that they wanted to wear one of my designs!
I had a lot of fun helping them choose a dress!
I even made them matching headbands!
Guess what dresses they chose!!!

DESIGNER'S BLOCK???????
you know when you just can't think of what to write?????
WELL, "KAT" ASKED ME ABOUT DESIGNER'S BLOCK:
HHHHHMMMMMMMM...........????????????????
I HAVE NEVER REALLY HAD "DESIGNER'S BLOCK" BECAUSE :
FIRST OF ALL: I NEVER EVER GET TIRED OF DESIGNERS AND THINKING OF IDEAS...
I EVEN DREAM IDEAS....
SECOND OF ALL: YOU CAN'T DESIGN IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE MOOD...
SO: MY ADVICE ON DESIGNER'S BLOCK:
DO NOT EVER TRY TO DESIGN IF YOU ARE NOT INSPIRED....
YOU MUST BE IN THE MOOD!
AND BTW.... YOU DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE IN A HAPPY MOOD TO DESIGN... GREAT STUFF HAPPENS IN ALL KINDS OF MOODS!
TRUST YOURSELF.... FOLLOW YOU HEART!
DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOUR FABRICS DON'T LOOK GOOD TOGETHER!
XOXOXOX CIAO FOR NOW, CECILIA

MY SERGER MY WIZARD!!!
Guess what I did today?
I learned how to use a Serger!
Part of being sponsored by Singer is that they gave me one!
I know, I am so so so LUCKY !
I know most of you are wondering ...
first of all, what is a Serger ?
It is an "overlock" sewing machine with five spools of thread! Yep! Five needles to thread!
Basically, it is a super-uper cool sewing machine that will finish edges of fabric while cutting at the same time! I know: complicated but very cool!
and second of all, why on earth is that so exciting?
Well, a Serger is like a wizard! As soon as I know how to use it, ... OMG! Just wait!
Thank you Singer for helping me to learn more and more techniques!
Thank you Janice! She was my teacher today - super nice and cool!

That is so cool!
What is even cooler is that she wore the dress I made her to her big sister Kali's Birthday party!
Even cooler is that the dress looks so good on her ! and I designed and made it!
I am so glad you like it, Bella!
Can't wait to see you on "Dance Dance Chicago!"
Btw: I like to dance and paint too!

I have a Dream...
Today I had no school in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr...
I have dreams, too!
I have a dream that there will be no poor children.
I have a dream that all little girls will get to wear dresses if they want to.
I have a dream that all children will be healthy and that all babies will get milk.
I have a dream that all children in Haiti will be okay and that their schools will be rebuilt.
I have a dream that all children will get to learn.
I have a dream that all children will get to pursue their dreams.
What is your dream?
p.s. of course I dream of going back to Paris soon and meeting Karl Lagerfeld! !!!!!
xoxo ciao for now, Cecilia

You are a great role model, and you inspired me to become a designer too. When you get this comment, could you please email me at ..........@gmail.com? I would really appreciate it. Thanks Cecilia! Ciao for now! lol

NYC FASHION WEEK
New York City Fashion Week!
It all started with a photo shoot. As soon as my photo shoot launching my "spring looks" with Bella Thorne, I packed my bags as fast as an olympic swimmer swooshes through the lane. I hurried to the airport and got on the plane. I was going to the "Big Apple", also known as New York City!
I was so excited to step onto the plane in my fabulous boots, I mean, they were just so Fashion- Week ready. Being invited to Fashion-Week in New York City meant one thing: Fashion Shows.
Walking into Bryant Park made my heart jump for joy, just like a watch continues to tick. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw my very own name placed directly in the second row of the fashion show.
I was so thrilled to be able to sit in the second row of New York Fashion Week. I could hardly believe that I, Cecilia Cassini, just 10 years old, was sitting next to some of the most famous people in the Fashion World such as; Brooke Shields, the editor of Teen Vogue Magazine, the publisher of Vogue Magazine and an editor for Vanity Fair, Italia.
My dream has finally come true!
Of the many shows I saw, I loved : Tdashi, Perry Elis, Thuy, Perry Ellis and Carlos Miele.
Brights! Gold! Black! Gorgeous stuff. I kept pinching my mom, asking her to take me directly to the fabric stores in NYC. I was so inspired! I was begging to get some fabric and a machine!
I was as happy as a little kid would be to running around in a candy shop! I couldn't believe I was actually sitting there seeing the amazing new fashions walk down the runway. The new collections that I saw gave me more creative ideas than I have ever had before!
Leaving New York City will make me sad but at the same time, I can't wait to get back home to start on my New York-inspired Collection.
I will never forget my trip to New York City Fashion Week!
