Journey to the edge of the earth...

Leave with me, where we can deal with no other. I just want to be alone with you forever. I heard of a place though it is pretty far. we can be alone, drink each other soul, God will never blow our cover. 

Past...

The past will always be remembered however that does not mean we must hinder. Though, past, is nothing but bitter sweet, I cannot let it be my defeat. 

The Spring High Heel Sandals...

 As I get older my style of dressing changed dramatically. I use to be this bright colorful girl who loved Swarovski crystals on everything. Now I can't stand shiny things! However these pair of sunshine brightened up my day! I definitely want to get a plain black pair for everyday usage but I thought I have to force myself to buy a color that I can cater my future shopping around, that way I can step out of the box a little. Because trust me, heels are stepping over a bridge for me!

I don't own a pair or high-heeled sandals so this is my first pair and planning to get more soon. I just wanted to share this divine piece from Zara with you because spring is here and I can't wait to bust out these suckas!

Spring/Summer 13 Collection...

So since school began it deprived me from making more jewelry and even though I lost my job I didn't want to focus too much on it. Before, I use to make them while riding the train to work or school. Now the time that I leave for school are during rush hour, therefore I can never find a seat. Though I managed to make a few more pieces for my "mini Spring Summer Collection". My next mission are necklaces, I bought some lovely pendants months ago but I have not had the chance to go down to the city to get some chains... even though my school is in city (Yea lazy I know)

Glorious Moments...

It is a glorious moment... It is Spring Break! Unfortunately I would not be spending it on a deserted island, I still will be doing projects ...yippie... Though I will not complain because at least I can use this time to focus on what are important,  family, my jewelry and the blog. 

The heavens were beautiful yesterday, I was driving and it kept on distracting me.... Following my every move... This is what love feels like

Higher...

 There is nothing that they can do to stop you from getting as high as you can.

Sixty Seven Metal Tips...

Ugh, it's that time again where your precious life is taken away from you and now it is dedicated to torturous studying... Midterm week!... It is a gift and a curse because that is how you know that you are very close to the end of the semester. However it only gets harder after this..., which means I have to do more thinking when I am not even thinking about what I am learning. My mind wonders into a glimpse to what I want my future to be. I am in school and I very determined to graduate; however I am too focused on what comes after. That's when the real thinking begins, and there is no one there to guide you (So maybe I should pay attention lol) 

Two things... These Enrica Ankle boots from Sixty Seven and this Floral backpack from Urban Outfitters... Killer! I first had eyes for these Enrica Ankle Boots months ago but I did not want to cough up the money that they were asking for. So I lurked... and lurked (that is what I do best) until the prices went down. And not every store had these; I only found them in two locations, Gypsy Warrior and Need Supply Co. I was afraid that I would lose them until Need Supply answered my floating prayers, I could not leave them behind, they are mine! The Floral backpack was definitely an impulse buy and I needed a backpack desperately. I am not too fond of floral prints but the colors are just wonderful.

Time Traveling

Time has moved. As a younger youth I could not wait to reach adulthood.  Now... all I want to do it run! Time is moving too fast; next month I will be turning 27 years old... 27?!!! Whoa! I don't even remember turning 22! My twenties, as it is slowly dissipating, has zoomed by and now I am in panic mood. What can I do in my twenties that is frowned upon in my thirties?! Whose world can I raise havoc? I am panicking because I am watching family and friends around me start their own families, getting married, getting divorced to married again... it is just too much! They never warned me about this. I am not ready to jump in that wagon yet; I still have some more things to do.

In due time...

Want Mo' Faux

This year I have fallen in love with faux leather. Since I can't really afford real leather; something that is relatively close is good enough for me. However it must at least look and feel like real leather (maybe even smell lol) Zara is totally my favorite store to shop and the other day I was shocked to come across this faux leather biker jacket. The quilted design is so divine and the fit totally enhances your woman curves, and to add, it is lined, so you are not freezing your ass off! I am definitely contemplating on buying another one...

Metro Quarantine...

 Just how I felt this week... Like a big bag of doggy poop lol. I have been totally sick over the pass week and have been trying my best to avoid that tragedy. However I still managed to catch the bug from these ratchet New Yorkers. Spring break is in a few weeks and I am excited to have just one week to never wake up. Right now there is nothing but papers and midterms so I have to try and get better sooner or later. I am trying out this new drug...the greatest drug in the world right now. Boiron, I took this pill as instructed and it actually did cut down the severeness of my cold to a minimum. Therefore, I do not need to plug my lungs up to the wall this time, and that is a plus when all you want to do is breathe! 

Why I want to...

 Why I want to do what the hell I want to do...

Why not? Who is going to stop me? Why do I need them to tell me who should I be or what should I do? The world is mine as well as yours, so why should I do what is appropriate in your world. We are just two entities crossing routes that we have crossed before, and I am pretty sure, I did not listen to you then.. so why listen now? 

However, I appreciate the love :)

My happiness matters to me of course and they are trying to deprive my elation by their desolation.

*Change of thought*

I want to try something different that I have never tried before. I hear whispers about, celebrities do it, and I think it would help me calm down my jitteriness. Meditation of course.. with the cooky-ness I deal with the every day drama in New York... I sometimes need to sit down and block everything and everyone out.

NYC Travels...

 I got to tell you even though now I have a little more time on my hands, it still feels like there aren't enough hours in a day. I can't wait for the warm weather to hit because by that time I will definitely have all the time in the world to do what I had dreamt to do. And that is photography, I want to see how good I can get at this... just for a new hobby. This is will be a GREAT year for me and for you as well. 13... believe it or not, is my lucky number. It always has been, I was born on April 13th (Maybe that is why I believe so) and for some reason on most years land on Friday the 13th. 2013 is going to be the year I find myself as Sade.

Black & Olive Jewelry Update

1. Serpentine Stud Earrings                                                          2. Jasper Stud Earrings 

I am trying to expand my creative capacity. I don't just want to make bracelets; I would love to make earrings and necklaces too. Right now it is just a bit of a challenge for me because I have never done this before. Last year I ordered a couple of pieces that I have not even touched because I just didn't know what to do with them. So I turned them into these beautiful stone earrings, which I am even wearing myself. Stub earrings are my favorite because they are simple and versatile and sometimes I just like less clutter around my face. 

Available in the Black & Olive Shop on

Getting use to...

Frigid weather has kept me in but the longer I stay inside the more I get antsy. Winter is the season of enchantment however it is not my favorite. Though the longer I live here in New York the more I get use to the cold but somehow my body just cannot adjust...  

Moving along...

The journey to the end begins again. I am back in school and already I am holding out my hand for my degree! (Gimme!)I am greedy as of right now. Waking up everyday to go sit in a classroom can be a drag however soothing at the same time. Because I would be hanging myself with toilet paper if I were at home doing nothing. So pardon me for complaining, I should know better, there are children in this world that can't even get an education. And here am being ungrateful! 

Anyway, lets get on to the goods. I am making a promise to myself to explore more of my city. Once I actually purchase a good enough camera I am certain I would be more determined to get out more. Until then... I want to tell you about these wedged boots by Steve Madden called Thronne. Adore! I purchased it last year and threw it at the bottom of my closet to never see again until this weekend. The chestnut color is so divine it goes with just about anything. So I paired it up with a pair of boyfriend jeans from Levi's, an oversized button up blouse and a thick knit.

Blurry bad news...

What I heard from you, I can't really remember, though it sent me into a slumber

Posh & Jaded

Revlon Nail Polish Posh

Black & Olive Jewelry

 My secret obsession...

Every other week or so I literally itch for nail polish. I don't care for brands though I do have my favorites. Some of them suck than the others but what wins my heart are the colors. I love bright bold colors, dark colors and mellow colors. It depends on my mood

So... I bought this new nail polish from Revlon called Posh (green) and Jaded (pastel)  from Target. I spent the rest of the day beguiled from the tones; undecided on which color to wear first! (my tribes and tribulations)

My nails are always brittle, the corners tend to chip first and that can be a real pain because it would snag my clothes and even my hair! My mother told me about Sally Hansen's nail growth miracle for growth and treatment. I have only been using it for two weeks and already I see and feel a big difference. I don't see that much of growth yet but my nails feel totally harder than usual.
