Black Pant Remix




Wearing: 

Black Pants: The Limited | White Studded Blouse: Forever 21 | Oversized Link Bracelet: Michael Kors | Midi Rings: Forever 21 | Optics: Ray Ban | Multi-Colored Clutch: Vintage Fendi | Blue Flats: Madewell 






Remixed: 

Hot Pink Purse: Merona for Target | Leopard Pumps: Shoe Dazzle 






Life isn't about getting what you want all the time. Its about loving what you have. Its about living in the moment and being grateful for those around you. Its about being who you are and enjoying every minute of it. Its about loving yourself and those around you. Life is what you make of it, so live it & love it. You only get one chance.

I love the idea of remixing your favorite pieces into different looks. It only lends to expand upon the pieces you already own in your closet. This look was adapted for both casual, and spiced up for a night on the town. 


The black pant with coloful clutch, and blue flats lends and easy casual air to an already cutesy outfit. Alternately, spiced up with leopard pumps and a hot pink shoulder bag -- and you're ready for happy hour, or dinner with the girls.


Plus I love the pop of the pink, wit the elegance of the leopard.

For You

These words are for you:
Love. Because your love, when given in its entirety can move mountains, or bring a grown man to tears. It can make me, a lost and lonely individual, believe in true love. It can make me, fearful and distrustful, believe in true love.
Beauty. Because you can spread this word and all it can encompass through the world. Because you are everything that is beautiful and more. Because you can bring beauty to those who need it most. Because to you the world is beautiful. But mainly, because with You here, the world is beautiful.
Hope. Because before you I was lost, and now there is hope. There is hope for me, and there is hope for you. Because without you the world is a dark lonely place, but now there is hope. Because now, I am capable, because with you, there is hope.
Heart. Because yours is the biggest and most encompassing of all others. Because yours cares for others, and yours is beautiful. Because yours makes you who you are. Because yours can change others and make them love more than they knew they were capable of.
Soul. Because you are the other half of my soul. My very being. My existence is lost without you. Because without you I am incomplete. Because without you I am lost.
These words are for you, because they describe your self. Because I know you better than I know myself. Because you are here, and because I am capable of anything, because you are with me.
You deserve what the world has to offer. Never settle for less. Because you are remarkable and you are lovely. But because above all else, you love me.

The Sun. 

Bright and beautiful in all its glory. 
It spreads its warmth on all who can appreciate it for what it is. 
A warmth that culminates at your toes and seeps into your very being
until all you feel is the joy of that heat. 

The Sun has only one nemesis. 
One true villain for her beauty to fear. 
The Eclipse. 

He comes slowly with the purpose of overshadowing her glory. 
He brings cold and darkness in his wake. 
He blocks out all light
 and spreads the dark cold gloom into your very soul. 
Until you are only left with the gripping fear
 that you will never see the Sun in all her beauty again. 

That her warmth will not be felt
 or her brilliance will never be experienced,
the fear that she will forever be in shadow. 

But Time will always be patient and kind. 
She will show the Eclipse his way on
and will show the Sun how to shine
 and spread her warmth again. 
Time will bring the Sun back to her glory
 and be there to steady her
 and show her what she needs. 

Time will guide the way. 
Because only Time knows how to brave the Sun’s heat. 
Only time knows how and when to spread her glory to its fullest. 
And only Time can fully appreciate the perfection that is the Sun.

Simple Saturdaze

Have you ever felt so completely connected to another soul, that you feel like you breath the same air and think on the same wavelength. Your thoughts are the same, your imaginations, goals, and values -- all shared commonly amongst each other. 

I've spent a lifetime surrounded by women. Being raised in a house of 4 sisters and a mom -- tends to lead to a breeding ground of womanly pursuits and endeavors. All kinds of shopping, make up, shoes, and girl talk. Yes we are catty. Yes we love to talk shit. What group of girlfriends doesn't do this?

{ The exception? }

These girls are my sisters. 

Can you imagine growing up with and living with your three closest best friends, round the clock 24 hours a day -- for 25 years. The three people who know each and every one of your memories or secrets, because at the end of the day they shared them with you. 

These three people are the cornerstone of my life. They keep my sane in my most insane moments. They bring me back to the ground, when circumstance catapults me into the sky. They give me the air I breathe, and paint the picture of the woman I aspire to be.  They keep the days brights and give life it's many colors. 

These 3 women are at the very core of who I believe myself to be. And each of them posses qualities of the woman I have always envisioned myself to be. I have learned valuable qualities from each of you. And to each of you I owe a multitude of thanks. 

Thanks for the unconditional love in my darkest moments. 
Thanks for pushing me to keep going, when quitting was what I wanted most. 
Thanks for having the unshakable belief that I can conquer what I most wanted. 
Thanks for believing I can achieve the un-achievable. 

But mainly, thanks for sticking by my side when the road got rough. 

{Because in the end we're family}

"Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind."

Togetherness.

Legs For Days

I've learned, over time, one simple truth when building the self's inner confidence: 

The goal is not compare yourself to others, but to compare others to yourself. 

The reality (always has been, and always will be) that you are good enough. 

Always put yourself first.
