Personal X Reflection X Move

Sometimes we get so caught up in what is happening right now,

We forget what we have been through or better yet where we are headed.

There will always be a problem, always something taking our attention off of that next move.

I should know, it seems my biggest failures are when I forget the bigger picture.

Weeks pasts and I'm like, uhhhh what did I do but dwell in that mountain of a mole hill?

This life is all about a brighter future, building an empire.

There will be a brighter day if you look up for it.

If not you'll be stuck, looking on the shaded ground for rusted pennies only to trick and trip yourself into limiting yourself.

It's already February of 2014 and I'm trying to get somewhere so profound this year.

It's my time.

Something is feeding it into my soul however, getting sidetracked and distracted only takes away that oh so precious time.

It's time.

Move.

ZAC Zac Posen leather handbag

The tote bag for me is always a necessity. I love to have a bag that can fit everything I need and maybe some stuff I just want. Variating in colors, textures and pattern your bag can one up any outfit.

What better way to spruce up a regular pant by adding a fashionable shorter hem. Paired with a strappy shoe your outfit is broken up into a more updated pant look!

Making a comeback from last summer seen on runways from Paris, London to New York the contrast heel is here to stay for another season. Fashionably updating any ensemble. No outfit is complete without the right shoe!

Beyonce does it right everytime.

I know one half of spectators are obsessed with Beyonce's album while the other half hates her guts in general (Illuminati this, overrated, blah, blah.).
Listening to her album with a neutral listening palette I have considered "Flawless" as one of my favorite songs. Specifically the part in the song about women empowerment. Not only does it spell out Beyonce feeling slightly disrespected in the industry and being wonderfully and beautiful made like everyone else is but the assumed roles women are supposed to play in modern day society.

Antonio Berardi X Fall 14

Antonio Berardi

Fell in love, thought I'd share some of his Fall 2014 collection. Enjoy.

Berardi is known for his "sensual, figure-hugging dresses" and a "striking, classical, dressed-up" style featuring "advanced fabrics and manufacturing techniques."[1] He has named music, independent film, post-modern art, Catholic symbolism, Italian art and culture, urban street style, lingerie, and the female form as his design influences.

Live GOLD in 2014

Ah, a new year. What's next?

Mission: Get better and live GOLD.
