Shine Brighter Than The Sun


Taking pictures has always been something I dread. Mainly because I had to look at myself through a lens, and often I wouldn't feel pretty. I would nit pick at every single thing and would feel horrible about myself after. Self-hatered has been a battle I've been fighting since junior high, due to name calling at school, jokes being played, even negativity in my home.
I never saw my inner me, just what other people said the outer me look like. It wasn't till college I realize how beautiful I was. This wasn't because of me developing, or guys noticing me. It was because I notice myself.

I began to see me for who I truly was. Intelligent, beautiful, sophisticated and talented. We are our worst enemies. We have to fight that inner demon in order to cancel out those on the outside. It takes little steps to begin the process. Like putting reminders on your phone, telling yourself your beautiful. Daring to do something you never thought you could do. Evaluating your good traits and being surround by people who love you for you. 


It takes time to get over your flaws and start to embrace them. We all have situations that made us become so insecure and hateful to ourselves. But it's our choice whether or not we continue to believe what the world says. Live your life, don't care what the next person has to say about how you look. You are an original star created to shine bright. Never let anyone tell you different.

Everyday I'm working on myself, it is a never ending task. It takes hard work and dedication to be yourself. But I tell you this once you make that choice you will never want to go back to the old you. For today you are shining brighter than the sun.

Holiday Style // Love Red

Classic red is just a style tradition. You can't go without wearing red during the holiday season. It's about as normal as drinking water.  What I love is the variations of red. This coat was one I got last year from my church. It was around the time I really wasn't working and couldn't afford to get a warm coat.

Stripes & Culottes

NYFW this year was such a blessing. Way more than I could have dreamed. However, between the move of the shows from Lincoln Center to actually buildings it made it difficult to commute back and forth. I didn't know whether I was coming or going this week. It was a bit difficult to keep up with my looks as well due to my work schedule. However, I was able to capture this one which was my favorite look from the whole week. And guess what Jesus styled me!!!!

Accesory of the Week // Alex & Ani

Running home after school with report card in one hand and a joy in your heart. You get home to show your parents how much you achieved.  They take pride and joy in their  baby girl so the next day they take you out shopping. They find a trinket that's more that an enough to show how proud they are. A simple charm of achievement, that showcase how proud they are and motivates you to forever achieve the best and accomplish every goal you ever put forward. This is just a speck of what some little girls dream of.
