i belong to me...

I love this song... I belong to me - Jessica Simpson

It's not that I don't wanna share my life with you baby
It's just that I'm the one I need to be true to baby
And I won't give up me to be part of you
It's not that I don't wanna have you in my life baby
It's just you gotta know that it's got to be right baby
Before I open up my heart to you

let me lay in the sun while the breeze carries me away

{ ♥ } I dont know what to write about but I feel like writing. My mind goes blank when I try but somewhere within me there is something alive...waiting to be expressed like a caged tigress ready to escape the moment she can. I feel that I have been saying less but feeling more... trying to grasp the new lessons I have recently learned about life and of myself. Sometimes I feel so sick of being earthbound.... like Im tied to an anchor... weighing me down when my spirit wants to fly. Fly like a purple helium balloon that was unexpectedly let go of. But I do realize that in order to attain any true fullfillment in this earthly realm I've also got to learn how to ground myself. I will, but not today. Let me float a little longer. The view is amazing up here

First outfit post

{ pic on the right was put together on Polyvore. Not the EXACT items im wearing but similar }

I am delighted to announce my first outfit post but pls bare with me if the photos don't capture a lot of details. It would be wonderful if any of you pros out there would share some tips or tricks with me to make them look more lovely. Thanks darlings.. now on with the show.

Im not wearing very summery colors am I? I was on my way to a career fair at Holt. So this is what I had decided on:
♡ Black sheer v-neck t-shirt from Urban Behavior
♡ Skirt made by me
♡ Black blazer from Forever 21
♡ Shoes from Vincci
♡ Cream clasp belt from a Vancouver Boutique

{ edit } after writing this post last night, I stumbled upon a few tips on how to look more camera ready for an outfit post on Dirty Laundry.

"Explore the versatility of each garment individually. Look at what you are wearing right now. Do you see how much you could do with it? Even a simple blazer or oxford shirt has innumerable ways of wearing the lengths of the sleeves, your trousers could be cuffed inwards or outwards, your shirt tucked in or out. Don’t go overboard with the combos but don’t neglect the alternative possibilities." Read more

Hey guys, just wanted to leave you with a quote before i head off on my little road trip adventure to BC. We are starting off attending a japanese garden wedding, then checking out some vineyards, cherry picking and then making our way to my second home, VANCOUVER for the week!! =)
