Okay yes, this is in some sense wicked cheesy but seriously, LOVE YOURSELF . I mean if you don't, who will? In all seriousness I'm sure of it that there is plenty of love in your life. Even if you don't have a significant other to snuggle up with this Saturday, there are plenty of people out there who love you! Your friends Family Your pets!! Honestly, every day should be like Valentines day.  Who says you have to celebrate being in love with someone one day out of the year?  You should tell someone and show someone how much you love them in one way or another each day. It's not about gifts, chocolates, flowers. cards and fancy dinners; Valentines day is about being together--and about Hallmark making a shit ton of money off of everyone *ugh* But if you have no plans, no lover (like myself) this is the perfect day to TREAT YO SELF . Pamper yourself with some of these amazing products from LUSHcosmetics! Who doesn't love a bath with cand...

Valentino's Pre Fall 2015 was nothing short of genius, as usual.  I am pretty bias because I think Valentino can do no wrong these days. Valentino started designing back in the early 60's intially just for women. He opened his own fashion house in Rome and poured out new designs and looks that were feminine and showed off their best qualities. His house has always been creative and innovative and each season always leaves me floored. From RTW to couture, they do it all.  I've pulled some of my personal favourite looks from Pre Fall 15 and a Menswear looks I'd pair them up with.  Enjoy the magnificent beauty and if you care to see more check out style.com    

Vlogging. Like blogging, but through video. It's something that I dabbled in a few years back but abandoned after I graduated college. I ran out of things to talk about and interesting ideas for videos.  Being a blogger or a vlogger isn't easy, but I've been considering starting up again in addition to using this blog. In the past on my YouTube channel, I've told stories, had a few rants and a few deep conversations with myself. As much as I like talking about what I want to talk about, I also want to make videos about something people want to watch Videos about things others can relate to. I don't want want to make meaningless videos of me blabbing for 5-8 minutes. So how do I find my niche? What's my focus? Obviously this blog's focus is on fashion and art...and somethings a little of everything else. I've been thinking about giving advice Talking about personal experiences and a few other things but nothing has really...

I've never really liked the phrase, "My new year's resolution is..." I personally like making goals more than resolutions.  Things I want to improve on, I want to do or see and maybe a few things I'd like to quit.  This is my list for 2015: 1. I want to write more It may or may not surprise you but along with my fashion degree, I also graduated with a minor in creative writing.  Writing has been a secret passion of mine for a while and I only share my writing to particular audiences.  I mostly write poetry but I also like writing short stories (none of which that I have finished.) This year I want to write more, at least once a day.  Another great thing that comes with this is next on my to-do. 2. Get published or self publish my work. Since I graduated in 2013 I've been trying to submit my work to a few different literary magazines but have had no luck so far.  It's hard to find the right magazine for your work and some times I feel lik...
