An undying love affair....

"There's something magical and mesmerizing about fashion. It's such an amazing world, a getaway full of creative and gorgeous elements." -Priscilla Pena

The above quote is so very true. People ask me why I fell in love with fashion and this quote is my answer. While I actually do not enjoy dressing most people but myself, the world of fashion still draws me in. It is and will always be a never ending love affair, however I will no longer be studying fashion after this school year. While I do love it, I can't take the classes anymore. I have a goal and if I don't get out now, I will never hone my writing skills to achieve it. AND I WILL ACHIEVE IT! Stay tuned....a couple of years from now, you may see me on the masthead of your favorite magazine.

The Revival of Friend Spots: Devin White

What can I say about Mr. White aka Alex(:, besides we have a crazy past! We were friends first, then mutual crushes, then a couple, then friends, and now I don't actually know what we are. What I do know however, is that no matter what we have been through, I will always value this young man. He's probably one of the most intelligent guys i've ever met, but on top of that he's an individual. A self proclaimed shoe fanatic, with his own individual style.I mean his major is engineering but on top of his brains, he's an artist. And deep down, his artistic side is his most attractive quality. But enough about what I think....let's hear from Devin White, himself!

1. Name: Devin White

2. Occupational/Career Goal: Biomedical Engineer either Focusing in Footwear Biomechanics or Prothetics

3: Favorite Color: Columbia Blue...its strangely shifting toward Concord Purple

4: Do you Consider yourself fashion savvy? I mean...why wouldn't I?

5. Style Icon: The 60s and 90s...80s also. I loved the creativity from those who pushed just enough to complete a classy look...but never overdid it in the 60s...and Jeans were beasty then. Then I love how the 80s just pushed the envelope completely. That's really when people had FREEDOM with style...which lead to people in the 90s to help have their style mean something. So much was going on and style had a purpose.

6. Favorite Clothing Line or Designer: I LOVE Shades of Greige!!! That line is a serious problem and will change the game. I'm getting put on to more exclusive people, so I will update this in a couple months. ***See what I mean, by stylish, he hipped me on to this line!***

7. Style/Wardrobe Must Have: Soft Fabrics and Crisp Denim. Like I almost don't have to explain why.

8. Never Leave Home Without It: I will NEVER leave home with out my wallet. Or my underwear(bad experience in 1st grade.)

9. Words to Live By: A good leader doesn't demonstrate that he knows what to do, he teaches others the ways of his craft.

Speechless....

I would like to start off by saying that I am a strong black women, and I will never be anyone's groupie. OK! Now that's over....Trey Songs could so....get it!!!! I know, your not accustomed to hearing these things from me, but all you have to do is watch the video and you'll know exactly what I mean!!!!

---sidebar, no this is not the best video I've ever seen or even the best song I've ever heard...but Trey...well you see him don't you!?

Birthday Party in a Box

$32.95 from Cheryl and Company

Now I know that this is a very unexpected wish list addition but I couldn't help myself. As a former employee of Cheryl and Company, I know first hand that these cookies are the best you will ever buy. Made fresh when you order and shipped in flavor seal wrapper, these cookies are soft enough to melt in your mouth without milk. There is also a very large variety of cookies, brownies and sweets galore. This birthday party box just happens to be a perfect combo of all my favorites. SO who's buying them for me? I promise I'll share.

Fun with Photoshop!!!!

A picture I designed for a friends, fashion show...what do you think?
