If I had to be naked in front of anybody's camera, it would be Tomas Rucker. His photography is so lucid and captivating that I could not resist sharing. Each one of his subjects are completely vulnerable and if I could, I'd want my body to be show-cased just as beautifully. There is no bio information on his portfolio page but the galleries themselves are definitely worth a look.

Well, as some of you may know, I took my trip to New York last week. I was so excited to go hoping I'd get the chance to meet new people and get some shopping done. However my trip quickly turned into a series of unfortunate events that tried to put a damper on my stay. It felt as if every single day bought new problems, from my glasses breaking as soon as I got off the bus, to my flight being delayed 4 hours on my way home. I also just really felt like people weren't being straight up with me and time was being wasted in some ways.
All I could really do is make the best of the good moments but I'd definitely be lying if I wrote about it as if it was the best trip I've ever taken. Regardless I am thankful for the wonderful people who did bring about enjoyable moments and I do look forward to meeting those people again soon. Plus I never thought I'd actually like the pace of the city. There really is always something to do and I love it. I will definitely be returning to NYC because I love the city, but I'll just make sure I do things a little differently next time.
Over the next few days I will be posting some of the good moments I had including my visit to Monif C to review her new collection, my visit to a new favorite boutique, and the wonderful people I met at Re/Dress. I did not get to take as many photos as I liked but I am very thankful that I had the opportunity to meet those that I did. Below are some of the more random moments. I had a cute tour guide take me around the city a couple of days. Then I met up with my favorite Loc/Video Blogger Chescaleigh who was totally sweet. I really do wish I would've took more pictures but there is always next time. ^_^

OMG I feel so bad that I have not updated in a bit. I've just been super busy between work and some personal projects that I just have not had the time. Today I am going to try and get through some other posts because I have so much to tell you ^_^. Right now I'm going through some good changes. I decided to start my own business and I'm finally going back to school so my plate is going to be full this fall. I'm kind of nervous because its been a couple of years. I really screwed up my first year of college so now I'm suffering with no financial aid so I'm definitely trying to scramble to make things happen. My savings is dwindling fast already *le sigh*
Anywho, I'm not really good with this OOTD thing so I decided to do OOTM (Outfit of the Month) to showcase my favorite looks. Most days I'm dressed business casual for work, nothing too exciting but at least once a month I may get a little jazzy. Here are some of my favorite outfits from this month. Please forgive the mirror photos for now. I need a good tripod lol.
I've also done a little window shopping. Fall is fastly approaching, even though it really is no big deal in Florida lol. It won't get cold until December. However there are still a few essentials that I'd like to have that will work for any season.
1. Bell Sleeve Dress 2. Pleat Waist Jersey Cuff Trousers 3. Tie Dye Embellished Oversized Tee 4. Dobby Mesh Panel Ruched Sleeve Dress 5. Embellished Neck Dress 6. Ponti Contrast Pencil Skirt Dress 7. Faux Leather Seamed Bomber
1. Navy Sequin Embellished Vest 2. Black Lace Waterfall Jacket
3. Denim Jacket 4. Military Style Suit Jacket
1. Ruffle 1 Shoulder Blouse 2. Motocross Jeans 3. Jeweled Tunic Top 4. Denim Grommet Jacket
