Anyone who knows me knows that progression in life is one thing that I thrive on, minister to others, minister to myself, talk about on social media and try to practice daily.  Some days are better than others (lol) but for the most part I try to apply what I learn to my daily life.  Since the beginning of the year the Lord taught me about the value of time (DARE TO DREAM) and how our utilization of it will determine our output.  If you follow my blog or any of my social media you'll see that I'm an entrepreneur, not because I'm so fancy, but simply because I have a dream in my heart that HAS to be fulfilled, to be honest with you I believe that everyone has the potential in life to be great and achieve something we just have to start somewhere.  I recently attended an event called The Other Festival .

If you are familiar with my blog you will know that last week I blogged about a social media website called SILKSTAQ! I had a really amazing day with them, they are such a blessing to my life, not only did they do a blogger collaboration with me, they also did a designer profile feature on me! So of course I want to share with everyone all that we did that day.  You guys not only get the inside scoop into my fall/winter 16 collection titled "ANKARA" but you also get some behind-the-scenes love too! It's not the full collection but it sets the tone for whats to come, follow me on SILKSTAQ and follow my journey!

Bases are loaded and I'm on deck not needing the approval of the world or its respect, all I need is your word with my hands painted in the sky, I'm synonymous with success, VICTORY is the label BURNED on my chest, because this world won't define me, being unable to confine me, words can NEVER HURT ME because HE was bruised and battered for my inequities chained and whipped for my infirmities rising AGAIN so that I can see....... that I AM FREE.

Soaring on eagles wings never defeated I AM VICTORY, REGARDLESS of what the world says and sees!!!

        WOW it feels really good being back on the blog, I apologize for my absence but I had to get alot of work done the last few weeks, and my time was so divided... BUT I guarantee that in 2015 I'm going ALL the way, and I'm taking the blog with me!!! I've been pushed to be a better blogger, designer, and overall better woman, and like before I want to share it all with you!!
        So I leave you with this.............With each New Year and each New Month, delivering each New Day I sit....  I'm the one watching from the widow waiting, with hope and excitment in my eyes anticipating the "what's next" phrase questioning my mind.  Am I in the RIGHT position, am I on TIME, did I sow enough seeds last year to even try?  How can I compete when I have nothing in mind, is this really for me, or am I wasting MY TIME????? That's when I hear a small still voice from behind whispering in my ear that, "its not your time, it's MINE" the one who created you knows better regardless of what you can physically see, I am the answer to everything that you need, if you need to know the plans for your life just seek me, PROVERBS 3:6 has it written plainly.  I LOVE you TO much to allow you to just be, what I've placed in you is great and it's all that you need, now  what I need from you is just a little bit of belief............just     just      just     BELIEVE!!!

Eyebrows, Eyebrows Everywhere, who needs eveybrows...everyone, and not just any eyebrows, but ones that complement your face shape and structure. Eyebrows are so important to our faces, they can age us or cause us to look more youthful.  I've been blessed with alot in life, but naturally full eyebrows was just not one of them, so The Lord blessed me in another way, he taught me how to perfectly fill them in.  I hope this 3 step 3 product guide will enable all of you to be able to master the art of perfect eyebrows, or at least ones that look like mine...lol!  Enjoy!

What is WHITE without a wrong, what are words without a song, what are you without a me, what makes two turn into company and why does three make me believe, while my two eyes won't allow me to see.  I hope for better while this world says "girl please, what you get is what you see", but I find that hard to believe, because.... I AM FREE!  Free to follow my Father's vision, free to hear while other's aren't listening, freely exempt from famine and plague free to tell others what foundation was laid on that Glorious day, I am White, it has no wrong, its melodic with no song, white is the reflection of what we aim to be, so in a nutshell white is you, and white is me!

OUTFIT: My JUMPSUIT is one of those rare vintage finds at my new favorite vintage store in Brooklyn (sshhhh its a secret)!  SANDALS: Target, NECKLACE: MMN (mymonogramnecklace.com)   Let me say that this necklace is so feminine and so me, and it has inspired me to buy more pieces to add to my collection, (Click on the link above and check out their chic collection of jewelry!!!)
