These cream colored culottes are a great alternative to trousers for the summer. I am absolutely obsessed with scarves tied in the hair as a bow or around the neck to accessorize minimal outfits.

Can you teach an old dog new tricks? I'm thinking about all the things I said I'll do but I haven't really attempted to execute and take action in making it happen. I want things so badly and I know the only person stopping myself from achieving these things is fear of my ideas being dumb. NOWS THE TIME!!!! BECAUSE I rather learn along the way and edit my work as I create rather than be too scared or insecure to produce and share things with others. I keep telling myself there's a reason why I can't sleep at night. BECAUSE I'm so passionate with what I do whether it's styling, writing, or producing other mediums, it's what keeps me up at night wanting to make things better. 

I want to connect with others. I want to start a dialogue in hopes that whoever may come across anything I've made will feel something... Lets be real... I hope they will feel inspired to go after things they want and create and go after whatever it may be without boundaries and restrictions.

I started SHEDGAF to create a movement within individuals to be unapologetic for who they are. The more I post on this platform, the more I become comfortable with knowing who I am and what I want to convey. My hopes is that my transparency with my stories and what I share will influence others to DGAF more and just do it!!

D.I.Y.

This blue vintage dress has amazing details everything from the eggshell trim to the wide draped sleeves has got me feeling like a goddess!

I've been asking myself am I doing enough?! Am I really living to my full potential when it comes to going after the things I really want?!? And I can honestly say "No" I am not. I don't feel like I'm being hard on myself I just feel like I get discouraged easily when results don't happen instantly. I don't execute certain things because I think I'm not capable of teaching myself an unfamiliar craft. I can ask for help when I need it but I want to stray away from getting too comfortable with handing off a task to individuals when I should be learning how to do X, Y, Z. Where do I draw the line of asking for help and when I should put my big girl pants on and do it myself?!?

This nude dress with flower patch details gives off major sexy vibes, to down play the sexiness I threw on a tattered up white t-shirt. I accessorized the outfit with a statement pearl necklace which tied in the romantic feel of the dress.

Lately I've been really inspired with creative individuals who are hungry to feed their souls, working towards amazing goals of self expression. I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many friends who all have such a strong voice to be heard. 

SHE FELT THE EXCITEMENT 

IT WAS THE FIRST TIME WHERE SHE WAS SHAMELESSLY SHARING WHAT WAS SO DEAR TO HER HEART

THIS WAS ONLY THE START BECAUSE BEING FINISHED MEANT SHE WAS DONE

SHE WASN'T DONE 

THERE WAS SO MUCH MORE TO THE STORY THAT MUST BE TOLD 

TIME WOULD TELL THE TALE OF HER 

HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND LESSONS LEARNED WOULD NOT BE KEPT TO HERSELF

IT WAS FOR OTHERS
