Perfection

This ensamble is absolute perfection, I love every bit of it. The colors, the looseness of the top paired with the fitted pencil skirt, and of course the wonderful statement necklace... Inspired

Karla does it again!

Shopping for the Guys

Thursday I had my first go at Personal Shopping for a client. Although he is my friend from college I still took this job very serious. There are some things I need to work on for the next time (if there is a next time, I'm sure there will be though lol)

Everything I picked out for him he liked and bought.. *does happy dance* We shopped at Urban and Zara, got sushi in George town. Had a blast =)

Check out some of the pieces I picked out for his S/S Wardrobe

Light weight western button down

An awesome pair of Van's YES Vans lol

This awesome Linen vest

Love these Fred Perry's

There were way more pieces picked but I couldn't find great shots of them. Shorts, a great pink cardigan.. yes he is not afraid of pink haha, trousers from zara, tanks, and tees. He'll be set for a while, and whats great about these pieces is that he can mix and match them =) Something that is VERY important

Mila & Fire Vintage

Check it out guys.. This past Monday I shot with Kelcie for her online Vintage Boutique and had a blast!

I love, love, love the Vintage Coral 70's Wideleg Trousers, and I NEED them in my life. Highwaisted, wide leg, bright color.. how much on trend can you get!

Go BUY here

Kick of Inspiration

Yesterday at work one of my old manager stopped by and we got to talking about my goals and what I wanted to do.. I'm so glad she stopped by and I saw her because it just motivated me all the more. I guess when you're low on funds and you have a vision, you just HAVE to make things happen. Take the word try out, and just do, so thats what I intend on doing. Still looking for another job though cause it takes money to make money.

I have a number of artistic projects in my head from creating garments ( yeah busting out the sewing machine) to wall art, to accessories. Its all there stuck in my brain.. written on paper too, but mostly in my mind lol.. as they come, you will see. I dont like talking too much
