LATE NIGHT POST

I have a confession. I take photographs , lots of photographs and all  my family members have become my photographers and they get irritated sometimes because it’s constant. But the thing is I was awkward growing up I was a teenager with bad acne and zero self esteem, if you asked me to show you a picture of me when I was say fifteen I wouldn’t be able to. I remember one time in junior high students from the design and technology that were in my class handed me sand paper to scrape my face with it. That stuck you know, kids can be so mean. It’s not like it’s something I chose to have and it doesn’t matter how many times you wash your face or drink water when you have it you have it. I didn’t go to prom or party at all not that I cared to that’s one of the things my bad skin blessed me with it allowed me to find comfort in solitude. My skin still isn’t the greatest and whoever said after your teens it completely goes away lied. I have found ways to manage it and I’ve learnt to celebrate my flaws so you know what I will take many photographs  because we’re only given this life and I’ll be damned if I don’t capture all these memories.

PAPER BAG SHORTS

Summer's here and legs are out. I love shorts but most of the shorts I own are denim and way too short and i haven't been feeling that look this summer. Im in love with the paper bag pants trend its so flattering and never have to worry about my stomach when I'm wearing them. I do have longer paper bag pants i got last year from Topshop they are a military colour, maybe il do a post about them in the future.  I know this is another fashion post but I'm not really inspired to write right now and this will have to do till I'm fully back into regular posting.
These shorts are from H & M (and did i mention that they are on sale) the top and shoes are from Zara.

FORMAL CHIC

OMG its been a hot minute since I've posted and when this happens i like to get back into the swing of blogging with a good old fashion post. So little back story of these gorgeous pants that were little hard to get my hands on. I had my eye on the black and pink pair and then they all went on sale at Zara and sold out very quickly (sad Emoji). I went in store randomly and found these checkered ones and i was so happy. They originally sold for CAD $49.90 before tax and i got them for CAD $25.99. Paired them with a bodysuit from Topshop, mules from the thrift store and fun fact they are Stuart Weitzman. My sunnies are from Aldo.

1 SKIRT 3 WAYS

Today's post is on this skirt that I'm obsessed with. I got this last year from a thrift store (similar) and I've gotten my wear out of it. I wanted to share 3 cool ways to style it although they is so many more ways to style it.

By far one of my favourite weekends...

IT'S A HARD KNOCK LIFE (sometimes)

I’ve always been a firm believer of not letting what people do to you change who you are. But how long can they chip away at all your goodness till you break? How many chances are you supposed to give mankind until you can’t do it anymore? I’m learning that you must allow yourself to be angry and hurt then slap your self in the face and get it together and continue to see the good in people. There is a line in a Luther Vandross song that says ‘let’s fix these hearts, so they can be broken again’ and it made me realize that’s the way life goes. May heartbreak make you stronger and not cause you to harden your heart, may you continue to believe that great people exist they just come with flaws. Aren't we all? And regardless of everything there is no one worth you losing your true self over, hold on to who God has made you to be.

This was originally going to be a fashion post, so i had to squeeze in the pictures i took today.

T-shirt- Topshop
Skirt- H & M
Shoes- Adidas
Camera- Best Buy

THE STRAIGHT LEG JEAN

If you have been reading my blog you would by now know that I'm obsessed with jeans. I was hesitant to buy the straight leg jeans because i had the orson but boy was i foolish. These jeans are my new favourite Topshop cut. I paired them with this white t-shirt also from Topshop, shoes are from Call it Spring, belt is from Zara and clutch is from Winners. Tied the whole look with a red lip.

OOTD: CANADIAN TUX

Hey guys, so today i wore this fun outfit to church that i really enjoyed. I've never attempted a denim on denim and I'm really digging it. So my jeans, shirt and bag are from Topshop, my shoes are Zara and hoops are from H&M.

THE ART OF LETTING GO

Learn to give the gift of goodbye without resentment. This is not just to people even the coulda shoulda’ve events in your life. The bible says all things work for the good for those who love the Lord. We often desire to live in a moment because of how good it makes us feel, same as people we keep people in our lives to fulfil a personal need yet sometimes those things or people are not meant to enter the next phase of your journey. This also applies to us as in you the person that’s letting someone go you too may be the thing that’s been holding someone else back. That doesn’t make you a bad person just means you’re not aligned to God’s will in that person’s life.

The one thing that I’ve realized is that when that happens when we’re removed from people’s lives we regret all the good things we have done for them. There is no shame in doing things out of love for people and whether they stay or not, find peace in knowing that you did that from the bottom of your heart and it’s important to love without expectation. 

I know that some situations are painful and it’s easier said than done. I don’t know about you but it takes more energy from me to be bitter about what’s in the past than to move forward peacefully knowing that I’ve done what I can humanly do and that sometimes things don’t go my way.

CAMEL COAT

I don't even know where to start its been so long, but if you're reading this happy new year and i promise il try to blog more. Im so rusty that I've been stuck on what to write next, so to be kind to myself I'm going to let this be a fashion post.

I've been looking for the 'perfect' camel coat for a while, its either i find one and it doesn't look right on me or i find one that works but its overpriced but thanks to the perks of working at Zara i found this gem.
