[Dress- Vintage; Hat-H&M; Jacket-Zara]

Spent my Saturday celebrating other people’s lives and took a brief moment to bask in the beauty of mine. I am in a really good place in my life. I feel beautiful. Work is great. I have the most remarkable people in my life.

Now… about this dress. It was literally love at first site.  I scored it at Buffalo Exchange.. the best part about it was that it was FREE!!!!!! I encourage everyone to sell, trade, and/or exchange your clothes at places like Buffalo Exchange, Plato’s Closet, Wasteland and others.

Oh.. I have also started a love affair with this amazing hat from H&M. I’m sure you guys will be seeing a lot of it.

I got the blues……

[Shirt and Bag - Thrift; Jeans- Urban Outfitters; Necklace- I don't even remember; Shoes- Aldo]

So yes…. I FINALLY decided to try the whole denim on denim trend, and.. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! I have had these boyfriend jeans for about 4 years and I swear this  is probably my favorite thing I have worn with them as of yet. So… I will definitely be rocking this trend a bit more. Below are a few things to try if you aren’t sure you can pull this look off:

  1. You can always break up the denim by adding a fun belt
  2. Add a bold accessory (like a chunky necklace or a scarf or hat) so you won’t look like just a big roll of denim fabric.
  3. Mix light and dark denims for a more “top & bottom” look. I promise you won’t look as monochromatic.
  4. Lastly, Mix printed denim with plain denim!

Hopefully you guys will try this trend if you haven’t already!!!!!

No place like home

[Dress & Earrings- Love Culture; Shoes- Aldo; Ring & Bracelet- Sucre Couture]

Ruby Red glittery pumps from Aldo had me feeling like some sort of modern day Dorthy. Only problem is that even after clicking my heels together I was not transported to Sweet home Alabama.

Clearly I’m rocking black and white and stripes again… I suppose you guys noticed that I’ve developed a mild obsession.

Special shout out to Sucre Couture  for the amazing bracelet and ring.. I literally wear them EVERYDAY!!! Make sure you guys check their site out and cop some of their amazing pieces.

Change

[Tshirt- F21; Skirt- Express; Shades- Aldo; Shoes BCBG; Jewels- Sucre Couture]

Okay, so clearly I’m obsessed with the black & white trend. I think I’ve worn black and white almost everyday this past week. What trends are you guys feeling right now?

I have a few projects up my sleeve that will [hopefully] drop no later than the end of the summer. A new website, updated blog, YouTube channel, and vintage store all in the works!!!

My life is changing in great ways and I’m excited to finally be pursuing all of my dreams, not just one.

BeetleJuice. BeetleJuice. BeetleJuice!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am OBSESSED with anything and everything black and white. I love stripes. I adore polka dots. I have always loved black and white with splashes of red and I’m thrilled that this is a bug trend for spring and summer.

Spent my Sunday with my great friend KJ Smith and had the pleasure to be interviewed for her show “You ask KJ”. I can’t wait to share the video with you guys once it drops.

I have a few projects up my sleeve and I plan on taking my blog ( and soon vlog) to the next level (whatever the hell that means).

Stolen Goods.

[Snapback- Diamond Supply; Tank- Zara; Jeans- Express; Shoes- Steve Madden; Bag- Stolen from a friend]

First, let me apologize for m site being down the past week. I have a good explanation though.

Wore this while running errands. Didn’t feel like getting dressed, much less doing anything. So, I decided to throw on a snapback, tank top, and jeans that I’ve owned for 7 years. After moving and having my entire purse stolen (yupp.. that white vintage Chanel bag and a ton of cash…. gone). I was feeling really shitty. I learned a valuable lesson though….. place value on intangible things because material happiness can be lost.

Today is perfect if you let it be.

When’s the last time you woke up and realized that you were happy? That life is good? Today was that sort of day for me. My life is currently stress free. I love my body, I love my skin, I love my job, I love where I am going, I love the remarkable people in my life.

Let today be perfect.

Chi-Town

[Fur Coat- Vintage; Sweater- Polo (stolen from my dad); Jeans-Habitual; Sneakers- Converse; Lion Chain- Vintage; Rings- Assorted; Sunglasses- found at Santee Alley]

Spent last weekend in The Windy City and fell in love. Having only experienced the airport I had no idea what to expect other than a high murder rate, but what I found was unexpected beauty.  Each block I walked downtown had me more and more intrigued, and while it was too cold to have my camera out the entire time my mind filled itself with visual memories better than what my Nikon could capture anyday.

My bucketlist for 2013 is to visit as many places in the U.S. as possible. I want to see this vast country we live in and experience all it has to offer. I’m pretty sure I will be visitng Chi-town again..hopefully next time it will be a little warmer.

I’m back

[Hat, tights, bodysuit- American Apparel; Shorts- Vintage Levi's; Sweater- Louis Vuitton; Bag-Chanel; Shoes- Forever21; Necklace- Marc Jacobs; Bracelets- assorted]

It’s been SOOOOOO long!!!! Oh how I have missed blogging.. but life fucked around and got busy, so I had to take a break. Good news is that I’m back!!!! I took these pictures about 3 weeks ago with the amazing Geno Brooks. Make sure you guys go follow him on Twitter and on Instagram. He is a really good friend of mine and a dope photographer and director. So here’s a quick life update:

  • I just drove my roomamte and one of my best friends across the country back to Alabama. Not sure that I will ever do that drive again.
  • Now that most of my close friends have moved back home I feel…..alone.
  • Currently interviewing for a really really REALLY great stylist position (I’ll let you know details if I get the job)
  • I have allowed myself to fall in like with the most incredible person.

A few other free ”best things in life”?

  • A good hearty laugh
  • Sleeping in
  • Making someone smile
  • Smiling
  • Those butterflies you get in the pit of your stomach when you’re engaged in a passionate kiss.
  • Hot showers on cold days
  • The smell of rain
  • Loving yourslef, flaws and all.
