Be Yourself




Lately I have been meeting a lot of new people and life has been taking me on a beautiful journey. I tend to try and read people (call it a gift or a fault) and I met one person in particular lately that as beautiful as she was, thought for some reason she needed to make things up about things she did or was doing to try and impress my friend and I. I couldn't help but want to tell her you don't have to fabricate stories for me to like you, nor does if I like you even matter for who am I? The only person you should care about pleasing is Yourself, and God!

Dress: Reconstructed Vintage/ Clutch: Vintage Ann Taylor/ Shoes: Nine West/ Ring: Aldo/  Watch: Movado/ Shades: F21




If there is one thing that I have learned in my short time on earth so far is that you should live to impress no one for no one else matters, don't become a people pleaser because some people will try to take advantage of that. It's okay to want to occasionally assimilate to fit into to new genres or crowds for example starting  a new career but when you loose yourself in the process, that is when things become a problem. So if there is anyone out there not living for themselves, take today to start to learn to love and be yourself for there is only one you in the world . . . Show it off!
