This look was inspired by the amazing artist Rita Ora! I finally listened to her music and I love it.
However, It is her edgy and sexy style that I love most. Especially, when she wears a bold red lip...I totally melt! Its refreshing to see a young artist dress fun and fearless and not too old for her age. When I dress I like to look young and funky. It is important to me not to take my self to seriously because then I am going to hate what I am wearing. Ha.
It is supposed to rain today in NYC, however I do not want to wear pants! Ha, unusual right? There is just something I like about being dressed up in the rain....maybe a sense of romanticism. Maybe, it was Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst's scene in Spiderman that makes rain so romantic....or Breakfast at Tiffany's. WHO KNOWS!! No matter the weather, you should always dress to feel good, looking sloppy or "comfortable" wont't make you feel amazing. Denim Jackets are one of my wardrobe staples. I buy them twice a year because I usually wear them out pretty quickly. The more worn they look the happier I am.
Next week I am going on a family vacation to disney world. I am elated, escaping the city for a few days is like music to my ears. With all the things going on in my personal life I need time to escape the mourning and pain I have been feeling and seeing Peter Pan and Ariel will do just that for me! The main reason I started this blog was to cope with the pain of losing someone as well as express my passion for beauty and fashion. Blogging has helped me alot in my spiritual and emotional growth and I would not give it up for the world.

Finally, my hair can fit in a ponytail!! So excited, when I had long hair I loved wearing my hair in a bun, but my little puff shall do for now. Unlike some ladies, dresses are my comfort zone. I am the girl that when I want to get out of the door quickly I will throw on a dress. Not to mention maxi dresses are just so laidback and can easily be dressed up or dressed down. To make it more office appropriate I threw on this sweater to cover up my tattoos. I hate that I can not show my tattoos in the work place espeially when women walk around with these too small skirts that half ther ass is hanging out! AHHHH that makes my darn blood boil.
I know it is summer and bright colors are the norm, but after seeing the fall runway shows I am addicted to plum and other dark lip shades. I love the way it looks on my skin and I find it extremely sexy. I just love the darkness in life all year round...I guess thats the one staple in my style is keeping my makeup either simple or a little dark i.e smokey eye or dark lips and loads of mascara.
