Straight Signals...

 So much have been going on that I don't know if I am walking backwards or forward. The end is near... of school that is, so for the past couple of weeks I could not taken any photos or blog, can I be totally honest?, I felt depressed! Photography is just a hobby of mine; I never thought I would of take so much interest in such beauty, it is the greatest invention, and the great escape. I can look at them over and over again and all take me back to a special place where ever or what ever that is. It is blissful to actually have something you did not know you love to do so much just wordlessly slip into your hands. I just want more and more of it, I find myself everyday just looking for beauty, love, and appreciation. He gives us everything we need to indulge in every moment...

Bad Girls (Verdine version)...

 The song of the summer for me, even though the season has not started - Bad girls (Verdine version) by Solange is on constant rotation to the point that I want to live through the friggin song. These past couple of days were a blur, it is the last couple of weeks of school and I truly am stressed.... So when you hear on the news that some crazy black girl is running around the streets butt naked, jumping for joy, screaming "ITS FRIGGIN OVER"... don't panic, it's just me.... school had just let out for summer

27 years ago...

 27 years ago, he gave me life.... and I am loving every minute of it! Thank you...

Around the way...

 We finally hit 80 degrees in New York and I just could not help myself! I needed to feel that quick stinging sensation that causes a spread of goosebumps across your body. Even though it is too early for tank tops, who cares?! This burn-out crop top from Forever 21 was perfect and the color is great for this season. I have never owned a white bottom piece in my life, only because I travel on the subways often, and it is hard to keep white clean with New York's dirty stations and trains (or even from walking down the street, anything can happen!). However, this year is different, I randomly bought this white high-wasited denim jeans from American Apparel and it fits divine! 

Happy Saturday...

Happy Saturday!

Rambling the clutter...

 How much information are we allowed to take in before we lose it? Before education was not so imperative... what did people do then? We, of course, learned from our environment, Mother Nature was our teacher. Study shows that students today spend way more of their time on Homework than on anything else... really? If that is the case... where is my time machine?...  All this work deprives you from creativity, from being yourself and it clutters your mind. Granted, yes some of the information will help in the long run but I highly doubt Physical Education (that is just one mentioned course, Let not talk about Philosophy! oh no...) will. I live in the United States... where everyone is considered "obese". So why am I taking this again?

Something isn't adding up here...

Long way to go...

 For the past couple of months a good friend of mine and me have been planning to do a mini shoot for his portfolio. Being that we have school and "had" jobs it became too difficult. Spring Break allowed us to at least work for a day so I can't wait to share his work with you... His photos, my edit...

The outfit here is very simple. I bought the African print inspired top from the Afro Punk Festival in Brooklyn and the tights are American Apparel. The shoes are from Steve Madden.

Today is the first day back to class, you know after Spring Break that is when the real damn work begins. I am not looking forward to school right now especially since I recently found out that I have to stay an extra semester for only TWO! classes. So I am taking two classes in the Fall and two classes in the Spring (Next friggin year). I am going to try and talk myself out of this because I am sick and tired of school. I am tired of paying money that I do not have. Yes, school is imperative, however at the end of the day, it is a business. They have to make their money too, and I am tired of giving them money I don't have. I don't want to take out more loans... So it looks like I am going to have a long year. 

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

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...
