WHAT A SURPRISE!!!!

So, true story. I'm laying down in my bed, reading Russel Simmons book Super Rich when I got an alert on my phone from Twitter. "hummmm..." I thought, " I'm just now starting this Twitter account     ( I'm NOT a big fan of social media AT ALL...sorry...I'm old school...if you want to talk to me you can call or text me....but I was pressured into staring one by one of my good friends, so I was like ok sure...whatev...)  so who is trying to contact me????" I looked at my phone and saw it was a really good friend from sometime ago. I smiled, read the message that read " I'm so PROUD of you!!! and i miss you!!" I smiled, put down my phone and hopped in the shower. While i was getting my clean on, the message popped up in my head again "What did he mean by he was "Proud" of me....what did I do to make him proud?????" So, after I was done with my scrub down, I went back to my phone and responded, " No, I'm proud of YOU! ;) " then he tweeted me back "LOOKY here" with a link attach to the tweet. I clicked on it and.....WOW! there I was on SANKOFANYC Tumblr site! (click here -------> sankofanyc.tumblr.com Along with 450+ likes, re blogs and notes! I had no Idea that this picture would get around so quick! Geez! But I'm glad it did!!!  ;)

PRINTED EDGE

So..... guess who made it on Essence.com Street Style Best dress list???!!!  Whoooop Whooop!!!! They named my get up "Printed Edge" I can say I totally agree :) Wow, I didn't think this ensemble would be garner this much attention, but non the less it did! I had such a good Time in NYC, everybody was dressed to the 9's from head to toe...i felt in good company. From jumping from train to Metro train, Conney Island, The Rooftop Parties, getting a fantastic massage in Manhattan, NYFW, dinning at the oh so poppin' restaurant Budakahn and attending the West Indies Parade in Brooklyn I can definitely say I had a ball!!! There's so much energy out there, you can REALLY feel it in the air. I stayed in Washington Heights at a good friends house while I was there and I absolutely loved it. Now I see how Carey Bradshaw and her friends felt out here in this "Concrete Jungle Where dreams are made of" :) 

NYFW: Spring 2014 Street Chic

out here killin' em! 

So...I just have to say...NYFW was soooo much fun!!!! Here I am at the Lincoln Center hamming it up for the cameras! lol Say cheese! ;)

Life is looking up...Lift off!

So this is still very weird not talking to anybody yet ( i still have NO followers! lol) but it's getting easier and easier talking to...myself I guess! Anyway, There's a lot of things coming up that I'm SUPER Excited about like my T-Shirt line "Lift Off" New York Fashion Week and the Debut of The Embrace Fashion Cover styled by none other than...me. I'm also toying with the idea of moving to NY VERY soon. It a little scary...wait...who am I kidding...it's VERY scary!!!lol I have to add I hate the cold (I'm SUCH a Cali girl!) Will I like it there? Can I AFFORD to live there? Will i fit in? Will I get home sick? All I know is I have to put COMPLETE faith in God. He will protect and guide me. I feel like I need a change, something to stir the creative juices. What I can thank God for is my friends and family...they are here with me 100%. Pushing me to be my best! If all else fails...they got my back! So I guess I shall say,Washington Heights, NY...HERE I COME!!!! :)

P.s When I do get there and I have to "thug it out" though the harsh winters, I WANT THIS COAT!!!!!!!!! fugg it..I want the whoooole look!!!!!

Random thoughts from Christian...

Never underestimate the power of maturity. Maturity is something that ALOT of people don't posses....why you ask? because it requires one to be selfless. It requires being considerate, focused and smart. Always stay positive, it know it's easier said than done, but I promise you, positivity births the best results in life. I'm learning so much at this point in my life, and I thank God because he is making me better person with all these lessons he's throwing at me. In my Forrest Gump voice" and that's all I have to say about that."

 P.s Dope outfits make me happy....and I want you to be happy too....enjoy!

Ok, so I'm back and in full effect...there's a lot more to come. Get ready to see some awesome fashion, talk about crazy topics and my crazy life! New York Fashion Week....EMBRACE front cover fashion shoot and lots more! Life is but a dream!!!!!! :) This beautiful pic down below should hold you over till next time. The coat, the skirt, the clutch, the attitude....YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Hey all!  well it's been two years since I wrote something on this blog...I think it's time to bring it back to life! So much has happened within the last 2 years....i have grown so much. I will PROMISE to keep this blog updated because someone out there NEEDS to hear what I have to say. I have a lot to share with the world, so hopefully this blog will touch someone out there and make them either smile, laugh, or cry....or all three at the same time! lol Hopefully, you will follow me through my journey to my career as a fashion stylist and my relationships that blossom along the way. Every entry will start with a quote ad today's quote is: "Recognize the red flags" This one is for my ladies. Women....value yourself. Don't let any man tell you he is "too busy" or " Don't have enough time" to call you, spend time with you or for you to receive a simple ass text from him. Cheating, disrespecting, not communicating, being selfish, insecure and being immature are grounds for breaking up. You are beautiful...you are worthy...you are smart ( i'm starting to should a little like Abaline from the "The Help" but you know what I mean....) don't let NO MAN'S immaturity and lies get in the way of your self esteem and your dreams. A man should compliment you and ADD value, love and substance to your life, not take away from it. Sometimes love can blind us, pull the wool right over our eyes, but you have to listen to that inner voice, that voice that tells you " there is something not quite right here...danger!...danger!...danger!...." That voice is rarely wrong, God put intuition there for a reason. Use it before it's too late. Don't let him take up anymore of your time. Your time is valuable and precious. Don't let the WRONG guy get in the way of you finding the RIGHT guy.  *side note* if you meet a guy that does NOT have a good relationship with his mother RUNNNNN!!!!! **** I know..i know....you miss him...he was good to you( in the beginning) he's fine...he's successful....yea,yea,yea, but does he TREAT you like you should be treated. That's the key. Say no to games. Say no to disrespect. Say no insecurity. You know how you should be treated....expect nothing less.
