Loving Right Now.

Happy Tuesday!

How was your weekend? I got to celebrate a baby shower, go to a fashion show, and spend time with family. Sometimes I yearn for long weekends with absolutely nothing to do. Do you share my sentiments?
You know the days where you can sleep in and not feel bad about it. I think I will get a weekend like that coming up. I can't wait.

The other day I was doing some window shopping. Window shopping is the best for me right now. Because it keeps me in the know of what I want and helps me to stay focused when I do go shopping to know what to look for. It's kind of a double edged sword though because I often end up wanting everything and then calling these items "needs." Ha! How many of you can relate?

Anywho, I've compiled a few items that I need want and am just loving right now.

1. grace. yes. wild.
2. sunglasses
3. snakeskin
4. hat
5. leather
6. fringe

What are you eyeing right now?

Have a beautiful day!

Friday's Ramblings: #BeTrueBeYou

Happy Friday!

Thank you for your overwhelming response to my post, here, about me finding my true self, and just trying to be me. I find it sometimes difficult to stay true to yourself the way the world is now. So often our time is filled with looking at others through social media, television, and so on. We don't realize how often we are constantly comparing ourselves. Even in the smallest ways. The way we mother, the way we speak, the way we act and carry relationships with others all plays back to what we're fed. 

Man, We see what others are doing and instead of feeling confident in what we have to offer this world, we relish on that person, their abilities and start to take a disinterest in what we were purposed for. We find faults in our own work, we doubt ourselves, our abilities, until we are in a mode of stuck.

Put two people in a room and tell them to think about the same topic or jot down the first thing that comes to mind when you spit out a word and guarantee their ideas and thoughts will be different. They may even come up with similar concepts, but different words to say them and that is such a precious treasure that we must capture. We are not supposed to be just like our neighbor, or even like our parents or siblings.

I remember finding myself dwelling on how my raspy singing voice would never be like Beyonce's and my shape would probably never imitate her's either. I bottled up my voice, stuck it in a box and didn't look it for quite a few years. I always dabbled in graphic art and I loved it. When I didn't go to school for it or continue working with it, I felt like I was an imposter if I tried to do any art because I had seen other's work and our works were not the same. I looked at other's interpretation of art and figured because I wasn't practicing mine, that my talent was gone. I wasn't singing so the vocals were lost. 

But, Christ, man. 
He's amazing. He is truly the reason I am so open and willing to share my heart with yal. Through Him I have found my true identity and I am no longer afraid to just be me. So in keeping constant from my message this week, I was working on this print and I wanted to share it with you. It's more my style and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. In fact, I don't really care if you don't because I love it and its so me, that I may just print a few off and hand them out to people just to see a smile on their face from the message. :) I am going to be working on building up a portfolio and hope to start a small shop with these and possibly some stationary, because I just love this stuff man. You are the first ones I am sharing this with so I hope you understand where I am coming from and join in the movement of #betruebeyou


Hope you have a great weekend!

Blue Birds Can Fly






Blue bird button blouse - Nordstrom Rack (last year)
Black dress capris - H&M 
Black Peep hole/toe wedges - Lucky Brand (Macy's)

Happy Wednesday!
I can't remember the last time I said Wednesday over Hump Day! (Who am I?) I hope the middle of the week comes with bouquet of roses and smiles :)

I love this blouse. I've discovered something about my personal style and myself recently. I am addicted to any type of print, geometric shapes, electronica music, extremely bright and surprisingly the complete opposite - deep dark colors. I am a mix of things wild, with a straight edge. I'm super creative and enjoy freedom but crave structure. Organized chaos. I also discovered that I wasn't being completely true to myself through what I have been sharing on my blog - in reference to my creative side -singing, speaking art I create and provide as prints on my blog. 

I feel in a way I conform to what I think is accepted or well-liked by society instead of staying 150% completely true to what I think is cool and what makes my pieces, well, me. That's what makes us exciting anyway, right? Being uniquely made and having our own ways to express art, love, passion. I promise to no longer hold back and I will allow this space to be my creative outlet. Judge all you want, I don't care anymore. I'm going to take my feet off the edge of this bird's nest and see if I can fly.

Let Your Light Shine Thursday Link Up!

Happy Thursday!

I am unfortunately not coming with a new outfit post or a cute new printable, today! My little one has been sick with croup and work and life haven't stopped to absorb it - so needless to say, I've been busy. It's always hard having a little one sick. Although she is feeling much better than a couple days ago, it's still scary in this new mom territory. Not knowing what to do and being in a new place.
I am blessed to have a mother who has more than enough experience and great siblings and friends around that can help encourage me and give advice. I'll take it! :)
------------------------------------------------------------
