"because paper has more patience than people"

If writing didn't exist, I don't know what I'd do with all of these thoughts that sometimes keep me awake at night and too often daydreaming. I may have a hard time expressing my words but my eyes observe everything and my soul feels even more. I can write better than I could ever explain anything to save my life. Writing to me is so liberating. I couldn't go through life without remembering  my moments of joy, sadness, worries, confidence, fear & hope. 
 I always need to be reminded of where I came from in order to know where I'm going. It definitely gives me a balance , soothe me and restore my faith. I always, at some point, need to take a step back and assess my accomplishments and failures and writing does the trick for me. Nevertheless, I have to admit that I have been lazy these past months. Inspiration almost never came and if I'm being brutally honest, I didn't look for it either.
I've read somewhere that people who are happy and busy living life do not have time to write. This is not entirely false but at some point you need to take a step back, put your life in perspective , assess how far you have come and work harder to get where you want to be.A  lot have happened in my life in the past months. To sum it all, I feel like  I have become a much more grounded person and I really want to share my stories with you. The writing has been calling me so much lately and I think its time to feed into it. I am back for now,

without knowing how long that I will last. However with me, its been more about quality and not quantity for a while now. One thing for sure; writing is  and will always be  one of my first reflexes when things go either right or wrong in my life. Even if I sometimes lack the courage to write it all down, just  know that it is deeply rooted in my core. I may leave for a while but I will always be back.

A writer is a writer. Writing is writing. All work is good work. We’re all learning.

Stories are important, the monster said. They can be more important than anything. If they carry the truth.

Choose your clothes wisely.

Ladies, get to know your body types the same way you had to acknowledge your worth. Believe me, there is a strong correlation between both and I personally had to learn the hard way! Now let me tell you, that it doesn’t happen overnight but a little effort goes a long way. There is truly nothing more attractive than a woman walking around owning every fiber of who she is. I believe that confidence comes in all shapes and sizes. Undeniably, the way that you dress up can either boost it up or do the total opposite.  Why wear a crop top if you have large breasts that you are not comfortable about? Make sure that you carry yourself well, because it plays a huge role in the vibes that you send off and gives a pretty much idea of whom you are, no matter where you walk in. Unfortunately, if you don’t know how to dress according to your shape, you will often be the subject of mockery and found yourself in humiliating situations. You might not care about other’s opinions of your image, but keep in mind that it does matter sometimes at the professional level as well as during random encounters and that you will hardly get a chance to make a second impression.

I just want to help some of you become aware of the fact that just because something is trendy doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to own it.  I’ve seen people wearing the latest designer clothes from head to toe and look absolutely hideous. To repeat the words of one of the world’s greatest fashion icon’s Karl Lagerfeld: “Trendy is the last stage before tacky.” Same goes for you too gentlemen. Wearing Louis Vuitton” everythANG” will probably make you stand out but in a ridiculous way. Yes, I know “you got it like that” but you don’t need to feel the need to remind me. Being simple and discreet have a better effect at making people noticing you. I will never get tired of repeating that there is a fine line between fashion and style because there is truly one. Regrettably, a lot of women and men nowadays, would rather be up-to date for the sole purpose of showing off and look like a hot mess instead of wearing clothes that flatter them.  Some of you might not do it on purpose and hopefully this post could teach you a thing or two. On the contrary, if you do, I’m not here to teach you how to conduct your life but just know that it is sincerely not flattering. There is nothing wrong with wearing the latest leather pants or crop top but be mindful, that whatever you wear goes with you so when you are wearing them you feel good in your skin. That is all that matters.If you feel the need to adjust what you are wearing every so often or ask people around you if you look good then It might be a strong sign that you are not comfortable in your clothes and this could be a major turn off. When you look good and feel good, you won’t need validation from anyone. We are all humans and there is nothing wrong about making a fashion faux-pas once in a blue moon, it happens to the best of us, but do not let it become an habit. Do not become the man or woman that people secretly makes fun of. I know we try our best not to judge people, but do not be foolish now and believe that people do not point fingers at you when you do look bad. There certainly wouldn’t be any fashion police for that matter.

...And then GOD created NAOMI CAMPBELL.

I have been fascinated with this QUEEN for the longest. It was only a matter of time that I dedicated an entire post to her amazingly fierce self.  She represents to me, the epitome of timeless beauty, style, and confidence. Although I haven’t gotten the chance to stumble upon her presence yet, she gives me the vibe of a woman who owns, by her aura any places that she steps her foot into.  Despite the fact, that she carries herself so well, her rebellious side can never go unnoticed and I absolutely love her for it. I’ve heard that Naomi doesn’t take NO for answer and quite frankly If I were her, I wouldn’t either. Seriously, who would dare not making such a Goddess’s wishes come true? Ahaha. Her face is so perfectly asymmetric and her eyes although mysterious, seem to always know what they want.  Oh and lets not forget her statuesque silhouette that seems to have won over the downfalls of time, that you almost want to wonder if she is REAL. Yes, it is safe to say that God has taken some extra time and care to build her. Naomi has been looking the same for the last 20 years, and just

like fine wine she is only getting better with age. Naomi Campbell, you are my definition of perfection.

All hails to these other QUEENS.

Oh-so Riské,Oh-so Fab!!!

One of the fanciest nights in fashion happened once again last night. The spring 2015 Costume Institute exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was dedicated to Chinese fashion. The theme this year was "China: Through the Looking Glass," and it showcased Chinese art and rare artifacts as well as dresses interpreting Chinese designs from Western designers like, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Tom Ford. Some of the finest Hollywood stars were out there, serving us all kinds of greatness. Although, some mega stars who rarely do fashion faux-pas in my books, such as JLO and Beyoncé stunned on the carpet, I found their dresses to be boring and way too common. They would look spectacular in any other events but I feel like they didn’t interpret the theme well. I believe that fashion is all about taking risks and looking EXTRAordinary and confident while doing so, and this is why my winner for this event is no one else but the Queen of Barbados: RIHANNA. Never let it be said that the girl doesn’t know how to make an entrance.

The pop singer managed to pull the red carpet out from under the rest of them at the Met Gala on Monday when she swooped in wearing a fur-trimmed yellow cape with floral swirls of gold and a train so long it required three wranglers. The ensemble came with a little pink mini-dress underneath, and a sparkling tiara. In keeping with the evening's theme — China, and its artistic influence on the West — the outfit came from Beijing-based designer Guo Pei.

And please keep in mind, that Fashion is temporary and style is eternal and Rihanna seems to have mastered the fine line between these two. BOW DOWN RIRI.
