    It would be a lie if I said I didn't want a body like Beyonce's. From her killer abs to her stunner booty, its hard not be a tad envious of Mrs. Carter. Now, the singer/actress/ director/ mother is adding something new to her repertoire: fashion designer.

    Similar to the Jenner sisters, Beyonce's athletic line will be featured at stores like Nordstrom, Zolando, and Topshop next week for exercise enthusiasts. As someone who has started working out more ( remember Core Power yoga?) having outfits that are not only comfortable, but that make you feel awesome can truly have an impact on your workout. I find for me, if I wear workout clothes that I feel comfortable in I receive a stronger confidence both internally and externally while completing my work out. I think that Beyonce's Ivy Park line does just that. Not only does the line have a message, but it embodies a type of confidence that can only be found in something that only Beyonce herself could create. So even though I might not be able to get the EXACT body like Beyonce (we can only dream), I can get a bit of her confidence while working out.



    What makes Beyonce's workout line unique compared to previous athletic lines is that its catering to more than one form of exercise. Compared to other athletic lines that only focus on one area of sport, IVY Park has clothes for swimwear, yoga, and day-to-day.  Though the prices form the line have yet to be announced I know that I'll be hitting the shelves to try on some IVY Park outfits.

    For more information on the line, please visit http://www.ivypark.com/ and check out some of the pictures below.

    Happy shopping ladies!

    Hello fabulous blog readers!
     

       Life lately has been very emotional. For those of you who know me well (virtually or irl) I consider myself to be a hard worker. My blog has been a way for myself not only to write about my favorite hot-spots but also as a means of therapy. As I mentioned in a previous post, life after graduation has been very rocky. Since the last post I have officially hit the 100 mark of applying for jobs, been wait listed for what I considered to be my dream program, and have been receiving rejection email after rejection email. So yes, life hasn't been too magical lately.

       So why continue blogging? One of my first thoughts after hearing that I was wait listed for a program I hoped to get into I contemplated just stopping everything that I loved doing. One of the things that makes me happy is blogging. It probably means I'm vain right? Probably. But it also means that I have a joy for writing too. For a long time I struggled with blogging and finding the perfect 'niche' to fit into to. What I realized though, after 5 years of blogging, was one thing: how could I write about one niche for my blog if I don't fit into one category myself? After all, this blog is supposed to be about my personal life- all the traveling, fashion obsessions, posts about Nick Jonas, and college rants. I would consider it to be a disservice not only to my readers, but to myself, to not continue to write about the hardships of life. Because in order to experience the good in life, it is necessary to experience the nasty gritty parts as well.

    It's time for a fresh perspective. I truly believe that there is a reason for everything. Though I don't have that much of a clue what the reason is for me being on this journey right now, I have begun to learn about myself. One thing that I noticed, especially after being wait listed in the program, was how easily influenced I was from social media. So I did something that most aspiring social media gurus would never imagine doing- I deleted my social media apps. ...Ok maybe not all of them, but I deleted the majority of them (I left Snapchat on my phone because watching Demi Lovato cannot have a negative impact). Though I don't think that I'll be off of my personal social media channels for long- it has been therapeutic and has shown light on characteristics I didn't want to admit that I had. With graduation fast approaching for many of my peers going on Facebook now a days seems to be status after status of friends accepting job offers. Of course at the end of the day I am truly happy for them. But another part of me is pissed. My grades are better than there's, I've worked for 5 years compared to them, this seems impossible. Jealous thoughts such as these were popping up into my head because of the situation that I am currently in. It was embarrassing to realize that a stupid social media site could have that much of an impact on me. I'm a grown woman that somehow became an unsure little girl at the sight of several words.

    This might not be a permanent solution,but it is one that is helping me right now stay sane during this trivial time. It's humbling to remember that I have a great support system that will be there for me during the fabulous parts and the not so haute couture moments. Whether or not staying off of my personal account on Facebook will be a permanent thing for me during this time, it has been refreshing not to depend on social media for validation from others and most importantly, myself.


    Thank you to all that continue to follow my life journey,

      It's that time of week again! My attempt at cooking and more importantly- helping those who also lack the cooking gene- is back at cooking again. This week I decided to be a tad fancy with my cooking. Or maybe it should be considered more lazy. After all, I need a lot of motivation in order to cook. So I got the Viatmixer out in attempt to try to make something healthy but savory at the same time. 

    Here's the recipe that I used form the Vitamix book in order to make my Spicy Monkey Smoothie
    * 2 cups low-fat plain yogurt
    * 2 ripe bananas, peeled, halved
    * 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    * 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
    *1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    * 1 cup of ice cubes


    Let me know if you decided to try this recipe- I added agave to this (1/2 tablespoon) in order to sweeten the drink up. Happy cooking everyone!

    If I had to choose what TV show has the best wardrobe it would be hands down Scream Queens. With only one season in, the television drama has showcased hundreds of (faux) fur coats, sparkles, short skirts, and lots of pink. Here are just a few of my favorite looks from Season 1 of Scream Queens.

    Which one is your favorite look?

    Hello fellow blog readers!




       I hope your Thursday is going well so far. I know for me, this week has been a great opportunity to evaluate and change up not only factors in my life but for my blog as well. For a good amount of time I have been debating about having a Facebook time and truly omitting to putting in extra effort into ThePrincessFusion. With interviews still rolling in and no full time job, I'm trying to keep myself as busy as possible without getting into the what-ifs of life. Maybe I'm just becoming anxious, but I feel as if something is about to happen- so this week was a much needed time to prepare before everything gets crazy.

       I honestly have no idea where this blog will go in the next month, let alone the next year to five years. It's crazy that I've been using this blog as a medium to write about my college woes, life studying abroad, boy problems, health and more. So that's why I've decided to create a Facebook page to engage my readers - such as yourselves- so that you know RIGHT away what I'm posting on the blog (which I hope will continue to be almost every day). In addition to making a Facebook page for my blog, I have created a website in order to showcase my work for potential employers. It would mean a great deal to me if you guys would look at it :)

       As always, if you have any suggestions for this blog I would greatly appreciate hearing from you on the comments below or at my email Sabrina.Kennelly@gmail.com. It is honestly a joy hearing your stories and seeing that more than just my mother looks at this blog (hi mom).

    Until next time!

    Now that I've had time to process graduating from college, here are a few tips that I learned while I was in college.

    #1) Prioritize

    You're planner is going to be your friend. Know when you're projects/ papers/ tests are due and create an action plan sooner rather than later. It is important to do this so that you can prioritize your school work, extra curricular activities, or an after school job. Each semester will go by faster than the last, so don't allow for projects to creep up on you. I've seen too many peers try and complete their work last minute and stress about if they would pass the class they were taking because they couldn't prioritize during the semester. 

    #2) Get involved in a student organization

    In addition to school work, join a student organization. This is a great place to use your skills from the classroom and apply it within a safe and friendly environment. Not only are student organizations a great place to test out your skills, but it can also leave to great networking opportunities. For myself, I found that there was a lack of French programs at my school so I created a new club. This allowed me not only to gain leadership experience, which is crucial to gain while in college. In addition to this skill I learned how to create and manage large scale events, teach in a classroom setting, and implement marketing strategies. Being a founder in a student organization allowed me to grow as an individual, but as a team member as well. 

    #3) Stop stressing out

    I wish I could have gone back on told myself that stressing out only caused more damage rather than good. Yes, it is important to know how important doing well in college is- but at times I became stressed out to the fact that I became physically sick. This caused more damage rather than good. Find something to take your stress out- yoga, playing an instrument, or reading a good book. Having personal time and stepping out the school setting at least once a week is necessary for your sanity. Trust me. 

    #4) Study Abroad

    Even if you can only go for one month, studying abroad was the best decision that I ever did while in college. Not only did it allow me to have the opportunity to discover new country, but it allowed me to follow my dreams. By studying abroad I had the opportunity to intern abroad, take classes that I could have never dreamed of taking while in college (going to field trips every day? Yes please!). Studying abroad is an opportunity of a life time. Take it. 

    #5) Get to know your professors 

    Your professors are there to help you, not to create your life into a living hell. Don't boil up your emotions. If you have problems talk to your professors and let them know. Go to a tutor, ask for extra home work sets, and seek advice. Getting to know your professors can allow for potential job opportunities and research projects.


    Until next time,

    Ariana Grande rocking a stunning bunny eared accesory
    In honor of Easter Sunday, I thought it would be best to showcase one of my favorite accessories: bunny ears. This headband is a fun and quirky accessory that can show off your sass simply with a black dress or pants. I love to wear this accessory during concerts or at parties. It's a fun way to show off your sassy attitude wearing a simple black dress or even jeans. Here are a few of my favorite accessories in the style of bunny ears that you can sport now, regardless of the season.

    I hope everyone had a great weekend! With the craziness of Easter, the talk from family members about post-graduation life, and beginning a new job today life has been busy. Don't worry though loyal blog readers- that doesn't mean that I won't be writing on here like crazy though:)

     Of course, I had to snap some pictures of my look for Easter Sunday. As you might of seen in one of my latest fashion blog post on Easter looks , I generally tend to use Easter Sunday as the opportunity to start wearing a pop of color. With spring just around the corner, I thought it was time to find a staple transitional piece from the Spring into the Summer. With a scarf and some great vintage inspired heels I was ready to wear my Bordeaux- colored spring look. I'm excited to see how I will style this dress throughout the year- with it's awesome material makes this dress a strong and fashionable piece for any season. 

    I hope everyone had a great weekend, regardless of if the Easter bunny and lots of eggs were involved.

    -Sabrina, ThePrincessFusion

    Each Friday, I will be featuring my current obsession of a celebrity or bloggers personal style. This Friday, in honor of his new single 'Closer' with Tove Lo out today and  the beginning of 'Future Now Tour' this summer, I have chosen Nick Jonas to be my first feature. Since he was a Jonas Brother way back in the beginning of 2006 I have been following his style and obsessing over his tight pants, leather jackets, and shades. I have an appreciation for not only his tight fitting clothes but also for his daring style with accessories. Here are just some a few of my favorite looks that he has been sporting over the past couple years.
