The new ox-blood color is making me want to cuddle next to the fireplace with a mocha latte and indulge in my latest fashion books. I recently acquired 5 on sale, and finally splurged and bought; Emily Schuman’s, “Cupcakes and Cashmere; a guide for defining your style, reinventing your space and entertaining with ease!” It surely is everything I wanted and more. This editorial is also another reason I want to immerse and educate myself on how to succeed in this industry. The colors are exquisite, and the layout is utter perfection.
“I walked through a pool of water and I seen the shadow of a broken-hearted girl
Pictured us walking to the altar, for better or for worse
Why don’t you stand, stand by me, oh my darling stand by me
We gon’ make a movie, a movie and it’s gon’ be in 3D, in 3D
We gon’ make a movie, a movie and it’s gon’ be in 3D, in 3D
Why don’t you stand, stand by me, oh my darling stand by me, stand by me
I ain’t pop no Molly but you still got me sweating
What happened to that feeling? We’ll never get it back
I ain’t take no shots but you still got me hot
What happened to that feeling? I wish it wouldn’t stop
We were supposed to be together
We were supposed to be together
They say that love can hit you so fast
Plenty odds are running out of time
But ours is on the border walk baby
Take me as I am or not
I can’t breathe without you, without you as mine
Why don’t you stand, stand by me, oh my darling stand by me
We gon’ make a movie, a movie and it’s gon’ be in 3D, in 3D
We gon’ make a movie, a movie and it’s gon’ be in 3D, in 3D
Stand by me, yea, my darling, stand by me, yeah
Yea, 3D, yea, movie, we gon’ make a, 3D, 3D
Why don’t you stand, stand by me, oh my darling stand by me
We gon’ make a movie, a movie and it’s gon’ be in 3D, in 3D
We gon’ make a movie, a movie and it’s gon’ be in 3D, 3D
Why don’t you stand, stand by me, oh my darling stand by me”
Have you ever felt love so strong, only to be left with your heart in your hand? This is how I feel when I listen to this song. The emptiness of the love lost. We had such wonderful moments together, and when I look back on the days and nights spent together I draw a tear of gratitude. Yet, it’s been over a year and we’ve spoken once. It is time to close that chapter of my life and leave you with those “memories”. We didn’t get to have the epic love tale that I thought we were destined for, yet we had an epic tale. Some love isn’t meant to last forever, and ours had just begun. I stand by myself in this feeling, My DARLIN’…
Autumn has fallen upon us in the Northwest and not a moment too soon. This weekend we were met with thunderous light storms, which humbles some and scares others. I was amongst the humbled; Orion, my 5 year-old wasn’t. I did try to reason with him, being that we had recently returned from Church; I stated it was God speaking to us. He seemed to be impressed with this definition.
Circle back to topic at hand, the beauty of thunderstorns is it gives you the liberty to cuddle up in a soft sweater, throw on a pair of relaxed boyfriend jeans and your cutest pointy toe pumps and venture to the local coffee house to soak up the sights and sounds while sipping on that perfect, ‘Tall Soy White Chocolate Mocha’. I know your probably thinking why soy, if it’s white chocolate?! Not only does it taste better, not too rich, it doesn’t upset my stomach.
The change in weather accompanies my obsession with sweaters, alluring me to go shopping for a few new pieces to add to my autumn wardrobe. I have chosen 16 of my favorites to showcase to you here. How do you style your sweaters?
“Luxury is the opposite of vulgarity. Luxury is the opposite of status. It is the ability to make a living by being oneself. It is the freedom to refuse to live by habit. Luxury is liberty. Luxury is elegance. True elegance is refusal.”-Coco Chanel
I found Dan William James Prasad (click on his name to be directed to his tumblr blog) through Hunger TV; which is my new go to Fashion Magazine (Blogpost on that later). DWJP (as he will be referenced to throughout the rest of this post), is a London musician with a passion for fashion tailoring, which led to his desire to blend his two passions together, thus DWJP attended Edinburgh College of Art, graduating with a BA from the Fashion Programme; which is well renowned Internationally as one of the most successful art colleges in Europe. Through the skills acquired there, DWJP has become a fashionname to be on the look-out for in making a breakthrough in menswear design… DWJ Prasad <– Direct link to his uber clean, minimalist, chic website. The reason I am drawn to DWJP’s minimalist approach is partially due to the sharp, clean cuts of the garments, but what really attracts me is how he blends his rock&roll musician style into the tailored jackets and pants, it is so subtle that you may not even notice it if you know nothing of the rock&roll genre.
“My pre- collection symbolizes the two most important genres in my life, “musician and designer”. Together they represent sophistication; design, music, composition and most importantly they provide me with an outlet and a way to express myself as an individual. Within my life there is a perfect blend between my love of tailoring and music composition however I feel that this is an area and combination towards design that I must explore.” -Dan William James Prasad; as told toHunger Magazine
What do you believe makes a designer stand out amongst the rest? is it innovation, is it classic timeless pieces season after season? I would love to hear what draws you to certain designers continuously, and repel against others.
This song has been on repeat in the BFLYsouljah household for about three weeks. I am obsessed with choreographing a video for this. I went to see what was out there and I fell upon the two below, which are the best by far! Trust me, I’ve done the leg work.
The male video is so on point and not only is it badass they are cute as well.
Yet, like expected the ladies hold it down and blow the male choreography out of the water.
Whenever I listen to this song I think of the man who holds my heart, thoughts, soul, and body. I have tried to date other men, and even though this man and I have yet to date and are just friends, I can only fantasize about how beautiful it will be when the walls come down and we do consummate our love. I can imagine we will both be so nervous…
I intend on performing my choreography for him, either to this song or “Arch N Point.”
Which choreography do you like the best?
“Use Me” By. Miguel
Sedate me… Salacious, salty, & sweet.
I’m overwhelmed by tasty thoughts of you.
Daydream… my body’s waving a white flag.
Take me, yeah, baby!
Now, I know I’m sober.
It’s just so profound
That every wall I built up
Has come crashing down.
Don’t the waves pull the sand?
Don’t the moon pull a tide, baby?
Well, I’m yours! Yea!
Use me. Wanna give you control
With the lights on
If I could just let go…
Forgive me. It’s the very first time
And I’m nervous. Can I trust you, huh?
Trust me, while I take this off
With the lights on cause it turns me on.
That we’re nervous, just let me show
You how to touch me. I could teach you, yea.
Sensation… as I place my tongue on your lips
You overwhelmed by everything I do, oh!
Curse me, yea, with such a beautiful nightmare!
Don’t wake me! Yea, baby!
Now, I know I’m sober.
It’s just so profound, yea,
That every wall I built up
Has come crashing down, yea!
Don’t the waves pull the sand?
Don’t the moon pull a tide, baby?
Well, I’m yours! Yea!
Use me. Wanna give you control
With the lights on
If I could just let go…
Forgive me. It’s the very first time
And I’m nervous. Can I trust you, huh?
Trust me, while I take this off
With the lights on cause it turns me on.
That we’re nervous, just let me show
You how to touch me. I could teach you, yea.
Blissful collision as our bodies tangle, intertwine
Biting your lip (uh-uh) baby, put me inside
Crucified thoughts, tender moments on a ricochet
Purging my mind of the power I own
Fall into forever. Just forgive me.
I was faithless. Danger in your eyes.
Baby, you can devour me!
Defile me, yeah!
Use me. Wanna give you control
With the lights on
If I could just let go…
Forgive me. It’s the very first time
And I’m nervous. Can I trust you, huh?
Trust me, while I take this off
With the lights on cause it turns me on.
If you’re nervous, just let me show
You how to touch me. I could teach you, yea.
[x3]
Use me.
