New Shoes

Over the summer months I have acquired many a pair of shoes. How many pairs of shoes does a girl actually need? Probably a lot (LOT) less than I possess. But aren't they worth it? Like my mother says-no matter how much weight you put on, no matter if you have a bad hair day, bad skin day, a pair of shoes will always fit you and look good ;)

Party Time

Wow I'm tired this morning! But happy. :) What better way to shake the blues than a party, eh? Two friends of mine had their joint 21st last night and I went all out to look amazing. I really think half the fun is in planning and preparing the whole look for the night ;)

Feeling Blue

I have seen a lot of stress, confusion, anger, sadness and tiredness in my life of late. It has been a rollercoaster of emotion but has given me a new persprective on life, the strength to do things I would have never done before and the courage to want to use this new strength to the best of my ability in the future. However, no matter how strong I stay through something there always has to come a time of rest-a rest to take in what I've been through, to listen to my body and to just take the time to be sad for a while. I don't intend to wallow in depression but for now my blue period-no matter how blue-is still food for my inspiration. Much like Picasso.
