Reality

2012-01-23T22:57:00.000-05:00

Taking some time out tonight to collect my thoughts.

Tomorrow is the start of total chaos in my schedule till May. I hope I'm strong enough to handle life from here on out. I'm taking the first steps towards following my dream.

3 RESOLUTIONS FOR 2012...

1. Give myself more credit

2. Complain less

3. Improve my punctuality

I underlined the last resolution for a reason. I am the WORST spazz in the universe, I swear. I'd forget my head if it weren't attached. So I run around the house like a mad woman in the morning, making myself late for work. I've gotten better with time management, but I'm going to need all the good vibes I can get to make it through my mornings. Even if that means putting my night owl ways of contemplation and daydreaming behind me for a little while.

Here goes nothing...

Don't Touch Too Much

2012-01-23T16:10:00.001-05:00

Rough and rugged style with a soft, fem twist.

I'm really loving the earth tones lately. Especially when touched with metallics or shine.
Its like lighting was captured while striking the desert sands.

I'll start to remember why I want to keep it up, keep posting, keep trying. Beautiful models and photos; the art of striking emotion into fragile or even hardened hearts with a significant look or tone in scenery, topped off with the perfect outfit. It just brings me right back...

I'm almost certain I'll be posting forever, so you might as well make yourselves at home <3

Le sigh... what a cozy home. I could do without the houseplants, I'd fill it with cactus (cause they don't need much watering or care. Plants are suicidal around me) and mix the French theme with cowboys and skulls and faux bear rugs. So French Bohemian maybe? I'll narrow it down soon enough...

Hold On Tight

2012-01-03T16:25:00.000-05:00

Its taking every ounce of self-control I have not to give up on something. I find it to be a great training exercise for criticism and strength. Although, I shall not name that which I'm referring to...

I'm not good with rejection or negativity; my exterior will crumble only to rebuild itself as a more stable and unwaivering structure but inside I'll remember the feeling it gave me and obsess and analyze the scenario till its broken into tiny, insignificant pieces...

In other words: I'm a big wimpy, drama queen.

But life goes on. And you can't succeed if you do not try, right?

Changing Times

2011-12-30T21:15:00.000-05:00

Its amazing how my taste in clothing and style has evolved so far.

As a kid, I pranced around in pink, frilly dresses and cowboy boots.

When I was in 3rd grade, I had a huge green sweater that I buried myself in daily.

Middle school was long black skirts with slits up the sides paired with chunky, knee-high boots and velvet tanks with chinese writing.

High school was a mix of ghetto/goth/hippie. Multicolored short hair greased up with Murray's, Harley shirts, jeans with bondage straps hanging from each side and combat boots.

The in-between school and a year ago is harder to pin, but I think my wardrobe consisted of clubwear or t-shirts and jeans with Tims. One extreme or the other.

Either way, I would have never picked out Nicole's dress back-in-the-day. Now... I love it. I used to hate anything but the absence of color. Today, earth tones and subtle shimmers have taken over my face and clothing. If its not urban, hippie-chic, I won't wear it.

*I don't know if I'll ever do neon brights. I'm just not diggin' it yet.*

Whats different for you? ;)

Sheerness

2011-12-27T16:29:00.000-05:00

I lovelovelove sheer tops. Especially a dual pocket white with clear buttons and a slub look. So clean-cut, yet rebelious and fun. I actually had trouble finding one at a thrift store. Meanwhile, a year ago they were rampant at GoodWill. :(

Better luck next time...

Open For Breaks

2011-12-22T01:11:00.000-05:00

Oh, the list never ends. Just when I think I cannot stretch myself any further, I go and take on another project. I just feel like I deserve better than to put something I want to achieve aside for regular, everyday things.

But seriously, I might collapse at any given moment. I've got a twitch in my left eye that comes and goes with stress. My hands shake and I'm constantly yawning. My brain feels fuzzy, like it needs a good brushing...

Yet life is so beautiful, I cannot stop. I want what I want and I won't quit until I've obtained it ALL!.

Though, I might stop for a massage every now and again ;)

Time for bed. Happy Hump Day... or Thursday! Guess I missed that bus, huh? lol

The way Miss Tuula talks about Cali, I'm kinda loving it. At least for a visit. I'm a New York kind of girl, I feel like I could never betray that. But something about the west calls to me from time to time; and the way she describes her ventures really plants you in the sand.

Tub Trash

2011-12-12T16:35:00.003-05:00

Nothing is more vulnerable than a fully clothed chick in an empty bathtub with glitter and messy hair. But as a member of the wasted youth and Gen-X, I could not give a left ta-ta. I digress...

My point in posting about this, is that its everywhere. Life as a teen and young adult is rough. Promiscuity has taken over America's youth. Why? Well, its easy.

There is nothing to care about but superficial bullshit. College is too expensive and a waste of time and money. Because of the economy, jobs are scarce even with a degree. (I'm hoping it will be different by the time I graduate!) Women outnumber men in the United States, so men can now be picky. The odds of a woman catching the "good catch" in their age group is beat. They're either players or dirtbags or chasing women half their age (;). So whats stopping women from looking and acting like hookers? Nothing! Its no longer frowned upon. And if it is, the pressures of being successful and happy outweigh the social status quo. Not to mention, marriage is out the window for the smart, conservative types; they want their career and they want it forever. Why break your back and the bank caring for a family when its now the norm for a woman to put herself first.

Young girls are either settling way too early or learning to fend for themselves by making the poo-nanni available whenever duty calls. Plus they were most likely raised by parents who were teens in the 90's and lets be honest with ourselves, the late 90's was a ode to the late 60's. "Free love" was replaced by "Don't worry be happy." No wonder these kids are careless. What have they got to lose really? A future-less future?
Being one of the young ladies just missing the boat on worryless wounds, I got a chance to sit back and observe my direction. I have to say, I'm not necessarily concerned. Life will not cease to exist... but roles are bound to change. The shift has begun... and the only thing left to question is what will the next generation have in store?

Hot Damn!

2011-12-01T14:14:00.001-05:00

Hello Dream! I thought I had woken up long ago
Oh, if I could only express the way I'm feeling today.

I had applied to FIT in New York at the beginning of Fall this year.

Today, I find out that I've been accepted.

....and crying over my lunch.

All you Alumni out there probably think I'm being silly getting this excited. You've been there, have a chosen career, and/or are raising families.

Thing is, I was up against a world of fashion fanatics in one of the busiest cities in the world. (Thanks for reminding me MoMo)

And I made it!

I'm feeling pretty awesome.

On a side note: I'd like to give thanks to all my haters back in 2005. Thanks for making me feel shitty enough to leave VA. Thanks for telling me I'd never go to college in New York. Thank you Thank you! Cause without you, I'd probably take it all for granted.

Crazy-ass Heather is going to college in EFFING NYC!

Suck it!

Both images are adorable and I love blazers lately. Especially paired with something frilly or faux fur. They add an independent and strong quality to any outfit.

Or you think you know who you are, but that could morph into a whole new you come the warmer and cooler seasons. (I hope you can tell, I'm not just referring to fashion) ;)

Just remember friends, this all boils down to... the image you project onto others, may not be the image you have in your mind. And could quite possibly be nothing like the person you really are inside.

The web has gone mental about this little girl. At 10 years old, she walks runways for designers such as Gaultier and poses for Vogue editorials. I love her style, even for her age.

Though something does strike odd about how mature her photographs can be. Its quite eerie.

Nonetheless, she is a beautiful little french girl with tremendous talent and a bright future. I'm looking forward to seeing who she will work with next!

Its Show Time!

Christine Centenera

Editor to Harper's Bazaar Austrailia and Stylist-on-the-side, Christine Centenera is my personal favorite... of all time.

Her mix of leather, killer heels, and laid back hair style prove that her looks take little to no effort. Which makes her all the more impressive. I mean, this woman can pull off zebra-print heels with sweatpants.

Need I say more?

I've been evicted from my 3 month slump. Somehow I've managed to stay positive. No surprise, its due to my amazing boyfriend and his support system of love and humor. Thank you baby!

And thank you Universe for throwing me optimism in this hell-on-earth I call the Tri-State area. I love ya, but damn. Nevertheless, the bone is appreciated.

Life is good; better than ever. I can't pretend to have done it all on my own, though. While the actions have been mine, I couldn't have kept my sanity without help. New York is tough. Keeping my cool in a city that wishes to eat you alive rather than have you over for dinner, is tougher. My sweet, southern personality, while refreshing and charming at times, is perceived as naive and quickly being replaced by cynicism and a hard outer shell. Short breaths of smog and cigarettes and remind me why I'm here again...oh yea. I can't get enough.
