All of the Brights!

When I first saw this bag the first thing that came to my head was Kanye's 

"All of the Lights"

I told myself that my next post would be pictures but I just cannot get this bag off of my mind.  Everyone has been talking about them and I cannot blame them.  The neon colors up any outfit a notch. 

They come in 4 colors and 4 sizes, so which would you choose?

The design, the color, the texture, the height, what is there not to love?

Man of the Hour

     Today is my late father's birthday and although it will be one of those hard days we're all going to try out hardest to enjoy it for him.  More smiles and less tears because that is what he would rather see.

     For those of you that do not know on May 28, 2010, I lost my father and since then my life has been going in reverse; and honestly I do not believe it will ever be the same. He was young and had a lot left of his life to live.  He had major plans for our family and for himself. He didn't make it to see me off to prom, my high school graduation, or my first day of college all of which he was more than excited for.

     I wasn't able to go home for his birthday since I am in school but I will celebrate his life with my family on the memorial of his death.

     Honestly it is still hard for me to believe and it just doesn't seem real, even after almost one year.  All of the many memories we've shared are still fresh in my mind.

     Every year he chanted "April 15th, April 15th," never letting anyone forget his big day.  He was proud to get older and become wiser.  His voice still rings in my head and everyone else that knew him, which was just about my entire city as well people from all across the country.

     On May 28, 2010 I didn't just lose a father but I lost a role model and a friend.  He will always be in my heart and in my mind. He, along with my mother has given me all of the perfect tools I need to make the right decisions succeed in life and I will do nothing but that. I am going to make him proud, and that will not be the last thing I do.

A message for him:

     I know you're looking down proud of what we all are becoming, all with big thanks to you.  Don't worry about any of us, we are perfectly fine; the only thing we do not have is you but that is only temporary. Have a big celebration up there, I know you are royalty up there just as you were down here.  Only the best, for the best.  I'll be seeing you one day and joining in with the celebration, but until that day comes just know that

I love you and I miss you.

Inspiration: Red Romper

I saw this on Little Plastic Horses and I fell in love with it.  IDK who it is by and honestly I didn't even search but I want one just like it, well with a little of my own style added to it.  I have a few friends that design clothing, one whom brought my design for a prom dress to life [here], so I think I am gonna use this as inspiration and go with the wind on a summer time fine romper.  Stay posted to see the turn out!

A Little Junkie

A random day at school.  Didn't I look like a junkie? Very punk if you ask me. The sun was shining and the weather was pretty nice but the wind made it feel a bit cooler than it actually was.  I decided to wear a sweater but I still wanted to dress for the weather with a skirt because it is spring, and pants would have been more of a winter look. I paired the sweater with a gray and black cheetah print skirt and gray and black accents.  The pink was very loud so I didn't need any more color.

sweater: Hanes, hat: H&M,
