Fix You...

"When you try your best
But you don't succeed,
When you get what you want
But not what you need,
When you feel so tired
But you just can't sleep,
Stuck in reverse...
And high up above
Or down below,
When you're too in love
To just let it go,
If you never try
You'll never know,
Just what you're worth...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try...to fix you..."

"Fix You" by Coldplay
I always love shopping for new things, but there's something that feels so damn good about the CLASSIC PIECES in my wardrobe. Some items bring back memories; some make me feel warm and fuzzy; some just feel like HOME. I wore this PASHMINA SHAWL from ZAARA on my first date with my husband Tairo. It always transports me back to the time when he and I were first falling in love. Over two years old, and it's still texturely beautiful and relevant. The bag is VINTAGE and was a gift from my dear friend Alexand Vantelli. One of the most talented and stylish individuals I've ever had the pleasure of knowing; Alex is a POWERHOUSE that I'm hoping will join me for a blog post in the near future. The ring is from LaGyo and over time has become one of my signature pieces. I wear it in both gold and silver every chance I get because it reminds me of a real-life ring my late Grandmother passed down to me before she died. Last year I had a break-in and the ring was stolen, but every time I glance at this pixel version I'm reminded of her spirit and how ELEGANT AND TIMELESS she was. Lastly, the umbrella is super-old from Trilogy. It's so well made and is built with poses and animations that I just adore. My MOM collects umbrellas in rl and I have so many memories of my sister and I twirling them when we were little...

Power...

"I'm livin' in that 21st Century
Doin' somethin' mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters
Got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero needs his  HER theme music..."

Flight School...

" Just forget everything that you know
Let's take it all the way back to hello
They say you livin' like you died before
I got a place that only I can go...
Let me take you to flight school
We'll learn to fly
Let me take you to flight school
Above all the lights
You've never been so high kiss the ground goodbye
And they say damn baby how did you get that fly?
FLIGHT SCHOOL..."
