"Never a Failure, Always a lesson"

...The words mean so much more to me now. Learn from your mistakes and don't allow them to conquer you. If you do they will eat away at your soul and take over your being. Instead one must learn to take what they can from a situation, be it a lesson learned or an awakening. I've had that awakening this past weekend and I refuse to let regret consume me.

The idea of talking to you is more fulfilling than the actual act.

Twelve Seventeen

I have an obsession with all things dark right now. There's just something about dark lips, smudged eye make-up, and bed head thats so sexy in an over the top unapologetic way...

Liu Bolin - The Invisible Man







Beijing based artist is making a name for himself as "The Invisible Man" by hiding himself in his photographs. Look closely. Sick.

night thoughts, morning realizations

missing someone is a strong emotion. sometimes you can miss someone for the wrong reasons. sometimes their absence makes you truly appreciate and understand the role that they may have had in your life. and sometimes its just temporary until you are able to fully let them go. but have you ever missed someone and been unable to pin point who it is? or why? I've had this feeling on and off and for some strange reason i can't put my finger on who. it's almost like it could be bits and pieces, or a collage, if you will, of different faces.. different attitudes.. different ways that i was made to feel. a past lover, friend, confidant, look, touch.... i struggle with this uncertainty tonight. i could only hope to find the answer in my dreams. goodnight.

there's something about a rugged man in a v-neck that just does it for me.

I Love this Photoshoot.

Sade Adu


Sade is back!! My father is the biggest Sade fan on this planet so I know he's been anticipating her return, as have I. Her last album was released back in 2000 (Lover's Rock), so the wait is long overdue. I'm sure it will be well worth the wait. Feb 8, 2010 The Wait is Ova.

Art under Foot





I came across some sidwalk artwork and was captivated by the colors and variety of the paintings. Things like this make my day. Enjoy.


The shark was my fave.

What I'm Loving at this moment.

jade + metallic tips - there's nothing more of the moment than a pair of jade nails, that is unless its a pair of metallic ones
thigh high boots
"down to there" hair
corsets + boyfriend blazers - opposites attract
cuffs on any + everything
the fishtail braid - its so effortlessly chic, when done right
Balmain inspired pieces - pure genius

The Bear Loves Rum.


I came across this witty little phrase one day as I was leaving my internship.
The randomness
of it brought a smile to my face,
and I figured
I'd share it with you all.
