Hey Lovers

Gotta a few things to share with you today.

The website has FINALLY been restocked. 

click here to go directly to the store

2. Food to feed my musical hunger



3.  the BFF ... (if only she knew)... *looks away*



4. How to LOVE

Such a breath of fresh air. 

Brandyn Burnette's cover of Lil Wayne's How to Love. 

confession: I actually haven't heard Lil Wayne himself singing it..LOL

5. The Randomness. 

So lately I've been yearning for a little zhuzh in my life. 

I want to be WOOED. lololol.

I just want a guy to ask me to dinner, partake in some great conversation with me and make me laugh, maybe catch a band then walk me home.
I can't be the only one feeling this. 

RIGHT?

you know.... 

I actually miss taking walks with a guy I fancy.  In the 11 years I've been in north america I don't think I've ever taken a walk with a guy...

Oh and another thing what ever happened to the good ole love letter. 

If by any chance my next guy is reading this, love letters and hand in hand walks are needed!!!

with that said

I'm officially enrolling myself into the reawakening of the romantic movement.. uhm movement.

AFW - Fashion Week Outfits

Here are the outfits I wore to the fashion week events, with the exception of the long black skirt. I wore that one to a Gala I was invited to for the Black Business Initiative. I had such an amazing time there. Met some great people with amazing stories.

2nd day of Runway Shows Outfit

Black Business Initiative Gala Outfit

1. interesting lil blurb about the necklace. It's GORGEOUS gold elephants surrounding my neck, however it's actually a belt i thrifted for 6 bucks, which was WAY too small for my waist but it was IMPERATIVE that I owned it.  Oh and I also discovered a new head wrapping technique..LOL
2. you might remember the black skirt as a black dress from the pic below.. the curves were spilling out, obviously, as the dress is a Medium,  when i "attempted" to fit this dress on them, so I pulled it down to make a skirt and voila!

AFW - Fashion Market

I had almost forgotten about the Fashion Market where there were booths set up where vendors could sell their creations. 

I was there for both days and snapped these pics when some friends stopped by

CBC Radio Interview

One of the AMAZING things I experienced was a radio interview I had on CBC the afternoon before my runway show.
I listened to it earlier today and it sounds SOOOOOOO weird hearing my voice. 

I think I did OK for my first interview. :)
