THE END OF 10

As then of year creeps up on us in a few days. I wanted to post somethings that I've learned this year. 2010 has been interesting but I'm glad its over. I'm pumped to see what 11 has in store for me. I have some great things planned but hopefully I will be able to fulfill them, God's willing.


1.laugh! As hard as things may seem there is always someone who has it worst. "We're only young once, but with humor we can be immature forever"
2.Live! Im sure you read my post on life. If not ..."I would rather have thrity minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.
3.Never compromise yourself. You are all you've got
4.Maybe its better to be at the bottom,because the only place you can go is up
5.Never be afraid to love
6.Don't be ashamed to say what you aren't ashamed to think
7.If God had meant for today to be perfect,he wouldn't have invented tomorrow.
8.I've learned that I drink alot of coffee. No, seriously too much!
9.I've learned to control my attitude, somewhat. I'm working on it! ;)
10. Communicate
11.If you believe in it,stand by it and work your ass off to make it happen.
12.Love yourself
13.Trust

Flyy Day( New In)

Happy Flyy Guys!! I'm sorry for the lack of posting within the last week. I promise to stay on top of it this week coming up. I am so ready to show you guys what I've been working on all this time for 1-1-11. Remember to check back here to see the surprise! :) I do not have an outfit post for you today. However, tomorrow I will. Below, I posted pics of the cutest purple pumps that I've found at an vintage store yesterday. I've been searching for purple pumps for the past two months and I finally found a great pair. These pumps are 4inch with a 2 1/2inch platform. I love them!






Although I do not celebrate xmas, I would like to say Happy Holiday's to those of you who do!!! Enjoy this time with your family & friends!

A LITTLE BIT OF THIS/ A LITTLE BIT OF THAT

Good Morning Guys! I've been a running around like a maniac from city to city.. PURE MADNESS!! It will all work out at the end right? As the craziness began I decided to start an account through chictopia and if I must say I am borderline obsessed with this site. I can't wait to upload more pics on there as well as on here. It's almost 2011 sheesh! This year flew by! Time is tick,tick,ticking and I know you all are ready for me to reveal my surprise!! :)

On another note, because I loooooove MJ soo much I can't help but to love Francis Bell aka "Smooth Jackson" The Michael Jackson Tribute Artist... I've seen people dance but I've never seen anyone as good as him. Seriously, he's awesome! Check him out in the videos on his blog. Follow his blog on tumblr! http://mjbad21.tumblr.com

Envy My Vintage pt1







Yesterday, I did another shoot with one of the coolest photographers, Ricky Codio. I wanted the vintage theme because it goes along with my surprise! :D I had so much fun shooting with him. He's so amazing! Would you believe me if I told you he's only been a photographer for Less than 4 months??? How insane is that? I love his drive and his eye for photography is sick! He's also so cool to work with. I swear I felt like I was talking his head off but he didn't mind lol. I am super stoked to work with him and I have fallen in love with these photographs. Especially the ones in Black & White!

ADD HIM ON FACEBOOK

I hope you all had a great weekend! Also, I hope you love the pictures!

Google Demo Slam: Virtual Fashion Show




While browsing the web I stumbled across this 30 second Japanese commercial created by (Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo)of girls trying on different clothing using google search. How awesome is that? I just had to share with you guys. I'm a huge online shopper and I hate looking at pictures of clothes wondering if they would fit me and how they would look, this has to be the most genius idea ever! "It features the Image Search functions ‘sort by color’ and ‘similar images’ and shows that you can do more with Google than you imagined.-says robbin waldemar... "Oh, the possibilities!!! Also, it looked as if it was huge fun creating this commercial. I really wish I could of been at this videoshoot. lol


Happy Flyy Day Guys!!

Have a super weekend!

LIFE








As I sat there at 3am knowing I had work in just a few hours just thinking about life. You never know when it's you'll be gone..So while using my self timer I thought I have to make ever second count. I believe you should do whatever your heart tells you to do. Have no regrets! Love who you are! It's crazy but DO IT! Stop letting negative situations effect you. I live by this when you read my obituary It's going to say great things and where I've been and what I accomplished. Not some crap someone put together because I didn't do anything in life...What would your obituary say?

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
Mother Teresa

November Ending/Favorite Vogue Spread






Wow! I can't believe the end of the year is right around the corner. Which means my preparation time is so limited. 1-1-11 is when I'm launching my surprise.=) Yikes! That's only days away! I'm ready for you December (not really) lol

At the end of each month I'm going to post my favorite spread in Vogue. I am a Vogue fanatic and I love the international ones more than anything!
My favorite spread from the November issue comes from French Vogue. Model Freja Beha Erichsen/Shot by Hedi Slimane
I am so in love with this editorial. It's so feminine and soft. I'm completely obsessed with black & white photographs and Freja looks stunning!

Crunch Time!




As most of you know,I've been working on this project for months and months. It's so difficult and getting pretty expensive because I'm doing it by myself. I'm having so much fun putting it together. I tend to burst out in tears when things get tough but in five minutes of that I'm back at it, working so diligently. The countdown continues. I do apologize for the lack of post but in a couple of weeks you will see why I've been M.I.A! I want to thank Monica,Bougie Boo and Corey for keeping up with my craziness and helping me out. I have something special for them as well.

Stay Tuned!!!!!
