It's the holiday season and with so much going on BEmagazine has run into one of our favorites, singer/songwriter and English violinist* Bobby V to see what he is getting into this cheerful time of year.

"Singer/Songwriter Bobby V is featured on the song "Angels We Have Heard On High" & wants to let you know why you should get the CD for your family.

"Make sure you get this Christmas CD, Impact Church. It's a great time of the year, great music, live instrumentation, and some real good quality Christmas Music. I have a song on there with my sister Arle, so you definitely should support this album."
Bobby V on what this time of the year means to him...

"This time of the year really means a lot. This time of the year is about friends & family, and really about coming together & loving. I really love this time of the year BEcause it's all about the people that you care about most."
Bobby V's holiday plans are...

"I plan to really eat good; eat a lot of food & do a little traveling, but I really want to spend some time with my family."

En route to a photo shoot for 7/28 Magazine with my friend

Fur Vest X Necklace: Thifted*

Denim Button Down: H&M

Giannini over-sized pink snakeskin clutch I ran into while thifting the other day. Been wanting to blog about it for weeks and it has finally made it on! With a two snap button closure, inseam zippered pocket and roomy insides this is my newest treasure addition to my clutch collection!

Nobody's perfect and everybody is who they are.
That's the beauty of it.
It's okay if you haven't found your better half or they haven't found you.
The time between meeting,
you are perfecting yourselves for each other.
So keep on living,
Being the best you only you can be.

Here is a little something I wrote the other day while making some serious life changes.

1. Never feel obligated to ANYONE

2. If you're not happy, get happy

3. Never settle

Now moving on, I wrote this out of my feelings...

Not quite a poem, not quite rambling 101 just a recap on how a lady should be treated.

How I feel anyways.

Ahuuuummmmmmmm.

I deserve to be treated like a Queen

Receiving incredible massages willingly

To be spoiled, loved and wooed

"My African name, "Morenike" (Mo-dah-knee-k)

means one is who loved, one who is spoiled

Ironic? "

Should never be lied to, manipulated or disrespected

I will never settle for anything or anyone less than I deserve.

Be treated or talked to any which way

A Queen to be held to the highest standards

Honey dews and wet kisses warm me from the inside out when the sun greets me in the morning.

Servants sponge bathing me in imported lavender oils and soaps

Adorning my temple in nothing less than the best and fed the most extravagant plates of delightfulness

High off of life like I was when I was younger

A priceless aura of positivity people would sell their souls to be around

Deserving this and much more

Is what makes me a lady, a Queen

The creme de la creme.

If I don't demand it for me, who will?

Think of it more so as a saying, a thought process every woman should speak into herself every morning while she is gathering her thoughts and getting ready to face the world. In a time when women are treated like animals and carry themselves even lower, we forget the time when men started wars over one, formed countries for another and traveled, built, sung & competed for a small gesture of kindness... from a Queen.

Some of my older Jewelry.

Had a photo shoot the other day with one of my favorite photographers KennethDoyle for my jewelry and clothing line. Check out some photos below!

Styling by me

All dresses and jewelry by me

Make up by me as well!

Off to a great start!

Light.

Ignite.

Smoke

Unite.

live this life with clouds of realization possessed by undying lies that self destruct

and reconstruct perfection.

Embodying the same evolution consistently ignored and stepped on with strained inspirations

Hippie central and ambition driven individualistic ideas of success

Dingy emotionless corners contribute doubt and black scars of deprivation

We sit and huddle

like a tribe of potential

inhaling and exhaling our biggest goals

Afraid of the brilliance we may one day become

or fail to ever succeed to

Stepping out into the unknown and realizing the unknown is known as the unforgiving ever changing world society runs as a rat race

Smoking ourselves into a coma of numbness

Breathing in life and suffocating our wildest dreams

Only to float back unwillingly into the real world naked, cold and blunt

Tugging at the last remnants of a high that is portionally supplied.

I realized in New York I had a passion for all of my creative projects, even writing. It flowed off my pen, colors and patterns screamed at me to mismatch them and jewelry could always be worn a different way out of different materials. Getting dressed in the morning was a never ending photo shoot of what to wear, what my options were and what I could wear differently. Upon exiting the school days of mandatory uniform I extended myself into a world of style and expressing myself through any creative way possible. It can only be a blessing that my passion of creativity and expressing myself to the world through fashion and journalism is as natural as can be. I don't have to ride the spotlight in fact in my later years of high school and college I shied away from it. Now it seems only right to seize the opportunities thrown my way and make money doing what I love!
