      Thank you!! Definitely, the majority of the places I shop at are super affordable: Zara(my affordable FAV store), J Crew, TopShop, Gilt Groupe also has GREAT sales. My advice is to invest in a few key items each season, like this season, one great coat, one sturdy bag (leopard or a bright color, to be your stand out piece), and one pair of versatile boots. Then you can have fun with the rest in affordable basics!

      Yay! sounds so fun, have a safe and beautiful trip! I would say not to take the metro once it gets dark- take cabs. And try not to look too much like a tourist (maps, fanny packs, etc LOL) it will only bring negative attention to yourself. Get your money exchanged into Euro's before you get there (they charge extra to do it at hotels/hot spots and a charge is added if you use an American debit/credit card). I would give you a list of attractions that everyone says is a "must-see" but honestly I had the most fulfilling times just walking, eating and people watching. Just say a safe travel prayer and go wherever the wind blows! God bless!

      Agree! As un-chic and taboo in the fashion industry as they are, with my long commute I cannot imagine wearing anything else. way too convenient and comfy. Uggs for the win.

      Eeek ! I really don't know. More lifestyle blogging, not just about my outfits. I just feel like I have a mini platform with my blog and I want to use it in a more productive way and focus on the priorities in life: loving God, others, and being the best version of YOU (aka me) (aka shout out to Oprah- I want her show, in my blog format, with my life, basically)

      Absolutely not- it's not like i'm recognizable on the street, VERY FEW people know or care. Even if they did- not my concern. I follow my heart, always.

      I'm such a mix of 48987 different things, it is hard to put a label on it. But no, I would not consider myself conservative. Maybe physically reserved and mentally liberated? And wherever crazy nailpolish fits in. And God.

      I have no problem with them, I just can't relate. (I was mostly talking about women that post naked pictures on twitter, not necessarily all video models) When I moved to ATL a few years ago, I started off interning with a Marketing company and I was making very little (getting school credits), so then I got offered a "lead" role in a music video- I thought ok, If I keep my clothes on, and make some side money, why not? I went to the shoot, and 30 minutes in they told me I would be making $50 for the day, and I immediately walked out. It was only appealing as a SIDE "hustle", a way to make extra cash while I was paying my dues in school. I was expecting HUNDREDs or even thousands for a lead in a music video. MOST girls do it for free. So my question was, why? I just don't get it, and even girls that are very "successful" at it and do video after video- I don't see what the ultimate goal is. If it's just fun for them then that's fine, but the sacrifice seems greater than the reward. "Popular" video models don't necessarily have a good reputation or anything positive to show for it. And most girls DONT keep their clothes on, so that adds an entirely other level of lowering their self worth and attracting the wrong attention into their life in general. If they need the money, there are gazillions of better ways to make it, and if $50 for a 12-14 hour day seems worth it to them, then go for it. But for girls that have been "pursuing" it for YEARS, it just doesn't seem efficient. These are my opinions, I am not the authority on whats right or wrong, it is just not for me.

      Aw don't say that! You just have to tap into your style....I used to be a hot mess and only wear what was "popular" when I was younger (high school/freshman year of collge). I would wear velour tack suits with a matching pair of jordans (and matching shoelaces), and ridiculously tight spandex pants with everything!! LOL.....anyway....I found my style by keeping everything basic and properly fitting and then wearing fun accessories, anything that speaks to you! scarfs, necklaces, huge rings. Start by getting classic pieces in neutral colors and then adding in your personal style little by little, only buying pieces you are in love with. Getting colored manicures is also a little trick to instantly feeling glammed up- it sets the tone for your blank canvas!

      #StalkerTendancies.... LOL Who takes a screen shot .6 seconds after I write something?? What is really wrong with you? OBVIOUSLY I wrote it for people to see, and if you read it, you would see how I was emphasizing that I have nothing to hide. The only reason I deleted it is because it was very rant-ish (me going on and on) and it was just annoying me to see on my timeline. Sometimes I talk too much and it's a bad habit I am trying to stop. Apparently people like you live and breathe my rants, so I would hate to stop now. God bless you, it is way too early in the morning to have your face glued to another person's life. Look UP, it's beautiful outside! You're missing it!

      Depends on the occasion.....everyday for work I wear basically no makeup (Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, lip moisturizer, and fill in my annoying brows with Anastasia Brow Pencil lol). Then I have my "light" makeup....if i'm just going to dinner or a casual place, I will put on some mascara (Almay/Dior), concealer under my eyes (Nars), and brush on some powder bronzer(MAC). Then I have my "full face" make-up, which I rarely do anymore (who has the energy?? lol), which would be foundation(Nars), concealer(Nars), mascara(Almay/Dior), eyeliner(Laura Mercier), bronzer(MAC), and lipgloss (alternates between 6845 different ones lol). My biggest thing now is skincare!

      Aww, i'm sorry they are like that =( Sometimes my friends and I will laugh at eachother, but the key is their intentions/spirit behind it, you know. We do everything with love and don't take ourselves too seriously. If you think they mean well then I would say just brush it off and try to laugh along, so you won't take it to heart. BUT if you feel like there is any ill will behind their reactions, than they sound very insecure. Secure people don't care what other secure people do, you know? Don't be ashamed of what you like or want, and the more confidentally you express yourself, the less likely they are to have such judgemental and immature reactions. Be you and pray for them!
