“Gucci Gucci, Louis Louis, Fendi Fendi, Prada, Basic bitches wear that shit so I don’t even bother.”
-Kreyshawn

My mother had the most gorgeous collection of Louis Vuitton bags. When I was younger I used to hope that one day they will be mine. Who am I kidding I used to borrow them all the time and never give them back. In high school I will show up & strut down the hallways like I was hot shit, knowing damn well I couldn’t afford that.
So here I am today, I wear no name brands, hell, it’s hard for me to even match anymore. Give me basic clothing and I’ll go on with my day. But that doesn’t mean I can’t admire from afar. (My wallet agrees that I should look from far too)

The Louis Vuitton exhibit is taking place until January and it’s free, so if you haven’t gone yet,  there’s no excuse not to go. Just don’t forget to RSVP before you go, since they scan tickets upon entry.
Today’s outing was nice little adventure after  work. I met up with Phil and Kat and walked right in (after I stuffed my face with a deep dish pizza from the corner shop, that I do not recommend).
I knew I wanted to take a lot of pictures today and thought I would have more to work  with, especially since Phil’s such a fanatic with his luxurious eye for brands. In London he arrived with a bright yellow duffel with LV print that was absolutely gorgeous. –Guess who decided to arrive wearing a Fendi hat instead? — Really Phil!?
I shifted my focus on the pieces that were being showcased instead. The first floor started off with the history and timeline of Louis.
We saw his early works of canvas and his trunks that were made of wood. The cute little old school cars with his name that will transfer all the luggage. My favorite thing was guessing who’s luggage belonged to who depending on its contents.
The higher up the floor, the more modern the pieces became.
If you find yourself in the city and looking for something to do, go enjoy some fashion history. Here are a few pics I snapped of our tour.

With Chaos Comes Change

Ok, ok, I know what you’re thinking, where the hell have you been? and if you’re not, then you’re not really loyal.
It’s been a little more than 2 months guys! Did you miss me?

This break wasn’t really planned, and maybe it’s for the best. I just needed a breather, and I guess that’s what happened naturally.
I have so much to catch you up on, and if you follow me on instagram, on either of my two profiles, then you know I’ve been a little busy traveling.
First things first, I gotta show you guys all the amazing photographs from my trip to London and Rome. It was …a dream. Especially all the food in Italy. (A girl got fat) I took another trip after… yes… my parents got married…by the church this time! — Gotta show you some of those as well. She looked absolutely gorgeous, and I told myself I wasn’t going to cry. –I lied.
Let’s see, what else, I finally decided to start dating again, mhmmm… after like a year and change— That drought was needed. I needed to focus on myself, on what I wanted. And truthfully I was too sad to do anything but feel heartbroken, and just cry all night. The tears have faded, it still hurts a bit, and as much love as I still have, life moves on, and so shall I.
No, there’s no one special, but knowing that I’m open to the idea of getting out there is a huge deal and step one.
Work has been hectic, and it seems like my desk is always stacked up with paperwork and to-do lists. I’m still drawing of course, and I have plenty of new pieces to share with you guys. Which naturally only means, that new merchandise will be up at the shop soon. So please look for that, a girl has bills!
See, I told you… I may not have been here, but that doesn’t mean I’m gone forever. (or not being productive) I’ve had this blog for way too many years (almost 12) for me to just give it all up now.
Changes, they usually arrive right after chaos.
Much love to you always,
