Love The Look: Rihanna

Had to post this pic even though it's like a week old because I love the whole ensemble. RiRi never disappoints with her original style. By the way, her sweater is by Altuzarra and retails for $875! Oh, the Fab life!

My Girl Crush: HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIMMIE K!

So, by now you may have figured out that I LOVE the Kardashians, especially Kim. I had the opportunity to meet the Dash girls years ago when I was still living in the Valley and their store was a local fav amongst some of the rich chicks I worked with, before all the scandal. 


Anyway, my ultimate girl crush celebrated her 30th birthday in Las Vegas at TAO with Rob, Khloe, and Kourtney, and friends LaLa, Kelly Rowland, and Trina. Kim's birthday is not until October 22nd, but knowing how busy her schedule is, an early celebration must have been necessary. How ridiculously amazing does Kim look in this silver metallic dress?! Ugh, hate to love her! LoLz!


Anyway, check the photos out:

 Guess LaLa needed a lipgloss touch up.

Kelly Rowland, LaLa, and Trina at dinner.

 Yes Trina, remind us why you are still the baddest!

 LaLa, Trina, and Johnathan Cheban (Spin Crowd)

 Even though LaLa looks cute, is it just me or does it feel like she borrowed a dress from Solange's closet?

 Kelly Rowland has a great stylist because she's really been giving it these days. Those boots are the truth!

 The Kardashian siblings in all their glory

 Clearly it was a booty battle

Fun times indeed! Friends with money is always a nice thing to have

Something About: Jesse Williams

Jesse Williams delivers sex on a television screen in his role as Dr. Jackson Avery on the ABC hit series 'Grey's Anatomy'. With his striking green/blue eyes, gorgeous skin, and overall sex appeal, Jesse has become one of the hottest men on TV.

Jesse has made a number of memorable appearances, the love interest of Rihanna in her controversial 'Russian Roulette' video, a co-star in the feature films 'Brooklyn's Finest' and 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants', just to name a few.


What I like most about Jesse is that he seems to be a regular guy who caught a lucky break, and who happens to be very easy on the eyes. He still lives in Brooklyn, he was a high school teacher before making it big, and he is very appealing to his audience. What I love even more is that Jesse is engaged to a real estate broker, Arin. Arin is not a tall, super thin, super hot model type. She is an average woman, average figure, average face, but Jesse seems to be smitten with her and we love that. They have been together for  years when Jesse was just a Philadelphia high school teacher, and we're glad to know Jesse didn't 'change' when he became famous, and stuck with his woman! He says of his fiancee, Aryn, "I was a teacher when I met her, so she's been with me through all different facets of my career. She's stuck with me through thick and thick and thick and thin.” 


Keep watching 'Grey's Anatomy' on ABC to see his great acting, good looks, and heartbreaking!

Beyonce Will Take Us On A 'Heat Rush'

Because of the success of Beyonce's first fragrance, B will release a new fragrance with the fitting name of 'Heat Rush'.

Set to release February 2011, it's reportedly more of a lighter "everyday fragrance", as opposed to her thicker super spicy original fragrance Heat.

Coty Fragrance’s senior vice president Steve Mormoris told Women's Wear Daily, “It is our intent to continue building this brand. We see Beyonce as a pillar of our fragrance business.”

Marketing Director at Coty, Marsha Brooks, added, “We know going in [to the launch of Heat Rush] that Beyoncé has huge appeal to women 18 to 24 years old, but we expect it to be bought by both younger and older women. This is a young, fresh, less-serious scent.”

In Mourning...

It has been confirmed that one of my future ex-husbands, TI, has been sentenced to 11 months in prison for his drug bust a few months ago....Kill me now! *bbm crying face*

CONGRATULATIONS!

Big 'Congrats' go out to Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats who welcomed their baby boy Egypt Daoud Dean on October 14th in NYC! This is the first child for Alicia, and third child for Swizzy from previous relationships.
Alicia rocked that pregnancy like it was nothing new, and she looked gorgeous and glowing while doing so, but I know she's glad to have her new little bundle of joy! Now, let's stay tuned for the post pregnancy body!

Because We Love Drake: Cosmo Mag Love P.O.V.

Get use to seeing Drake's name mentioned regularly on this blog because I am a huge fan, have met him a couple times, and love his personality. So everything Drake will be seen here often! 
Anyway, Drake recently did a short interview with Cosmopolitan discussing his opinion on breakups, relationships, and sex. Check it out:

Cosmopolitan: Is it hard for guys to get over breakups?
Drake: Definitely. Even after a long time, it’s painful to see an ex with somebody else. As happy as you are that she’s happy, there’s a little tingle underneath your heart. It’s not a sting. But it hurts a bit, and you wish it wasn’t there.

C: Is sex on a first date a deal breaker? 
D: No, I don’t get why women think that. You’re telling yourself that all you have to offer is your body and the physical act. There’s more to you than that. If I like somebody, there’s so many great things to look forward to, even if we do it on the first night.

C: If a woman is into a guy, how should she get his attention?
D: I’m shy, so I like when she comes up and says “Hey, how are you doing?” That lets me know she wants to talk. The scariest thing is when you look at a woman and think of a million reasons why she wouldn’t want to.

C: What’s the best compliment a woman can give a guy?
D: I never mind hearing “You look nice tonight.” Guys put in a lot of silent effort. When I’m going on a date, I’m getting a haircut, I’ve got a new outfit, and I’m wearing cologne. So it’s nice when it’s noticed.

C: What’s the secret to a happy relationship?
D: Acceptance. You’ve got to be comfortable enough to be completely naked with lights on and the curtains open.

And the new video for 'Aston Martin Music' by Rick Ross ft. Chrisette Michele and Drake just dropped...When I listen to Drake's voice on this song I melt every time. How does this man know how to speak to women so well?! Ugh, love him! LoLz!

Nicki Minaj 'Pink Friday' Cover

So, the world's new favorite female rapper, Nicki Minaj, has a much anticipated album 'Pink Friday' being released on November 23rd, has given us a surprise and released her album cover. She definitely looks like a barbie doll with the extra long, plastic looking legs, her arms are missing, and the blank Barbie stare. What do we think? I love Nicki, even if the voices drive me crazy sometimes. Even though she's bipolar and has multiple personalities, she is original and not afraid of being herself creatively. 

It's Barbie Bitch!

We Love Emma Stone!

If you are unaware of who Emma Stone is you must be living under a rock! She is the super cute funny girl who is currently starring in the feature film 'Easy A', which is so hilarious, I saw it twice! 

Emma made her feature film debut in the comedic 'Superbad', which is a personal favorite of mine, and has also appeared in 'The House Bunny', 'Zombieland', and 'Ghosts of Girlfriends Past'. 

Emma is a high school dropout who convinced her parents to let her move to Los Angeles at age 15 to pursue an acting career. Her convincing had a lot to do with the fact that she created a PowerPoint presentation set to Madonna's 'Hollywood'. Well, clearly that was a creative and smart thing to do because Emma and her mom moved to Los Angeles, she was home schooled and began auditioning. After lots of doors slammed in Emma's face, she finally began booking jobs, and the rest is history.

We love Emma because she isn't afraid to be funny, and even though she has been considered one of the sexiest chicks in movies right now, she is very modest and unintimidated. Check out her cover story in the current issue of Nylon Magazine.

Today's Obsession: MadeMe & Vans Collaboration

I Am A Survivor: Domestic Violence Awareness

Many know October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which outweighs another huge issue both women and men suffer thru on a daily basis, domestic violence. October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Not removing any importance from the awareness of breast cancer, but domestic violence is an issue that is happening every minute of everyday to someone that you know. Everyone is in some sort of contact with someone that is in a domestic violence situation that seems unescapable. Domestic violence includes spousal abuse and child abuse. It comes verbally, emotionally, and physically. Any form of domestic violence must be stopped. 


Although many women of all ages suffer in a domestic relationship, there is an increasing amount of young women 15-30 that are being violated by men. And while those on the outside looking in may say "Why doesn't she just leave?", it's never really that easy. 

Not only do these women feel an emotional connection to the violence, but the abusers often use threats and more violence to instill fear in the victim so that she will continue to endure. The pain often feels everlasting, and even though it is something one can never get use to, it is also something that is hard to escape.


At 18, I had my first experience with domestic violence. I was ridiculously in love with a guy, who I would do anything and everything for. Things started out wonderfully, at least I thought so, but I ignored all the signs that were speaking loud and clear that he was dangerous, until it was too late. I still remember the first time he hit me. He was drunk and high, and I was afraid, but I never thought he would actually put his hands on me. At this point in the relationship I had put up with so much verbal and emotional abuse, I didn't think it could get any worse, until it did. It was 2:00 am in the middle of some strange neighborhood because he called me urgently and told me I needed to meet him. When I arrived I saw an anger in his eyes, and he was being very disrespectful, so I decided to leave and go to my car, and I felt him following me. I began to run, and stopped mid track to take off my heels, and I ran as fast as I could, heels in hand. The next thing is I felt the collar of my jacket being pulled choking me, and I was pulled onto the ground with extreme force.  

He began to punch me in my face and head excessively. I screamed but no one came to rescue me. Maybe it was because of the neighborhood people were afraid, I don't know, but I lay there just being beaten, kicked, punched, until he was done. And I laid in the middle of the street with blood running from my nose and mouth, crying. All I could say was "Why?" over and over. I didn't understand. I was a perfect girlfriend. I did everything right. But those things didn't matter. He had walked back over to me trying to get me up and saying how sorry he was. And I was so weak and confused, I cried in his arms. I loved him, it wasn't easy to just walk away. I wish I could say I never saw him again after that, but that wasn't the case. I stayed with him, which led to me staying with the abuse. Even though I was forced to wear long sleeves in the summer time to cover up bruises, sunglasses indoors or always having long bangs to cover up marks on my face, that was not enough to make me leave. The thing about it is, a woman has to leave when she is ready, or she will just end up going back to the same abuser, or finding another man with the same qualities. The last straw was when he dragged me out of my car and hit me in my mouth until it was full of blood. I finally had the strength to leave. For 2 years I had endured excessive pain at the hands of a man I thought I was in love with. I could not take anymore, and I walked away for life.


But for the next 4 years I would continue to enter into relationships with men who would abuse me. It was not all physical abuse, mostly verbal and emotional, but I had lost my happiness and self esteem at 18. I would smile to my friends while I was crying home alone at night. I was living a silent terror that I would not share. People could not believe that I had allowed anyone to do something like that to me because I had such a strong personality and was so happy with myself. But I am a human being like anyone else, and being in these relationships I realized that I did not love myself. I just wanted people to see what I wanted to show them, but inside I was dying. I considered suicide, I wanted to runaway, I wanted to be anyone except Sabrina because Sabrina was battered and bruised inside and out. 


Although every man I encountered was not a bad guy, I held on to the traumatic experience I had had four years prior, that I could not give a good man a chance to be apart of my life. And when I thought that I had finally rid myself of these negative experiences, I entered into a relationship that ended with permanent scars. But this time I did not endure that pain for years on end. It ended as soon as it started. He had similar qualities as the man that first abused me but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because I didn't want to lose the chance at a good man because of fears from my past. But I ignored what was right in front of me, and in one instance, suffered in the worst way, and my son had to witness something that a child should never have to be apart of. The difference is, I let it go before it got too intense, and I decided to use the law to my advantage and press charges. I learned so much about myself and about people from this experience. You can never trust a wolf in sheep's clothing.

I have since become a stronger me, having more faith in humanity and in men. Although domestic violence has been an intense part of my life, I have become a stronger me from it. I do not consider myself a victim anymore. I was a victim for 6 years because I held onto the pain and continued to let abusive people in my life. But now, I am a survivor. I have survived the hands of a man, and I have survived the girl I use to be. I am whole now, and I have found happiness in the fact that I have risen above the turmoil I once had in my life. For a long time I was ashamed of my life, embarrassed of who I am, but I am able to teach other young women about how to get out and share my story. 

A victim lives in fear. A Survivor endures. A victim is weak and powerless, paying for what was not her doing. A Survivor has grown strong because she knows the price is not hers to pay, the sin is not hers to atone.

A Young Mother's Love

I just wanted to do a special post dedicated to my son, Jayden. I never knew that it was possible to love the way that I love him. All I ever want to do is protect him, nurture him, and provide everything for him. Jayden loves me with an unconditional love, even when I reprimand him, or I am angry with him, he still wants my affection and acceptance. I remember my life before him, but now I cannot imagine my life without him. I love you Jay!

Gwen Stefani: OC Girl We Adore!

Had to add this video! I am obsessed with Gwen Stefani and this song has been playing on repeat all day. Yes, it's a throwback, but who cares?!

Vashtie Kola Is Hot Sh*T!

If you have no idea who Vashtie Kola is, here are some deets:

Ex-girlfriend of the super sexy Pharrell
She's a director
Creative Consultant for many top record labels
Styled and modeled for "Billionaire Boys Club"
Designer of Violette
Throws '1992' parties in Manhattan
Directed Justin Bieber's "One Time" video
Directed Solange's "T.O.N.Y." video 

Most recently, Vashtie became the first female to design for the Jordan brand. Being that she is a self-proclaimed tomboy, her street style and urban attitude makes this a match made in heaven.


Vashite is 'Downtown's Sweetheart' and definitely someone worth mentioning. She may not be a huge celebrity name, but she is a positive young woman making a name for herself. Love It!

The Literary Workings of Sabrina Samuels

I am a Writer before I am anything else. My first passion, first love, and first obsession has and always will be writing. I will regularly post my work, new and old, on this blog to share with readers. I have a way with words, so beware of the laughs, tears, and even anger you may experience at times. My literature will come in the form of poetry, short stories, and even open letters. I use my everyday experiences as inspiration. I regularly gain inspiration from my friends, peers, and even those I cannot bare to be around. I hope you enjoy!


Broken
(One of my most popular poems)

Maybe you never said anything to hurt me, it's what you didn't say that made me cry. Should I smile because you're my friend, or cry because that's all you'll ever be? For a few moments you made me feel as though I finally meant something to someone. When you look into my eyes and watch my heart break, does it break yours too, even just a little? Maybe if I wasn't so good at pretending to be happy I might learn to actually be happy. Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was choice, falling in love with you was beyond my control. I could fill a thousand pages telling you how I felt and still you would not understand. So now I leave without a sound, except my heart shattering as it hits the ground.

Classic Collection: Audrey Hepburn

Every week, or a every few days depending on my inspiration, I'm going to do a blog entitled "Classic Collection". This blog will be about the women and men who paved the way for style, beauty, and fashion. Our first feature is of course, on my idol, Audrey Hepburn, whose photo hangs in my 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' themed bathroom.

I have to do a feature on one of the greatest fashion icons ever to walk this earth: Audrey Hepburn! Not only is Audrey the reason I am named Sabrina (she was the lead character in the movie "Sabrina", 1954), but she had a difinitive style that has since been copied over the years. Her elegance and grace made her fan base admire all that she stood for. Her five foot seven inch, 110 lb frame was a muse for many designers, mainly world renowned designer, Givenchy, whom designed most of the costumes for all of Audrey's movies.

Sean Ferrer, Audrey's son, described her style very well: "Style is a word we use often and for a multitude of purposes. In the case of my mother, Audrey Hepburn, it was the extension of an inner beauty held up by a life of discipline, respect for the other and hope in humanity. lf the lines were pure and elegant it was because she believed in the power of simplicity. If there was timelessness it was because she believed in quality and if she still is an icon of style today it is because once she found her look she stayed with it throughout her life. She didn't go with the trends, didn't reinvent herself every season. She loved fashion but kept it as a tool to compliment her look." Check out Audrey1, a website dedicated to all things Audrey Hepburn.

My Life's Playlist: Theme Songs

I am an avid believer in finding ways to empower oneself and finding appreciation in all the things done well. Even if it is that you simply did your hair in a great new look, or you received an excellent grade on a midterm, you should constantly reward yourself. One way, without spending a dime, that I reward myself for the things that make me feel good is...music. Music always sets me free, gives me good feelings, and helps me to appreciate my life and all the good happening in it. 

I have specific songs that I put on during certain occasions. If it's a beautiful, bright day and a guy I'm digging just sent me a text that gives me butterflies, I may put on "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz or "Senorita" by Justin Timberlake. 

My newest obsession with Bruno Mars and B.O.B "Nothin On You" and "Somewhere In Brooklyn" has been added to my playlist, although I've only become a Brooklynite a few months ago. B.O.B has a special place in my heart because I had the opportunity of meeting him a few years back when I was living in Atlanta. He did a small show at some hole in the wall venue, but there was so much hype about him all over the city. When I heard his voice, I was instantly a fan, and anticipated a hopeful album. He has since stormed the charts, and collaborated with many artists across all spectrums. The same goes for Bruno Mars. Bruno is such a hot topic on the music scene, his voice is so sexy, I love listening to all his feel good music.

When I wake up in the morning I put on Beyonce's "Ego", well, because I have a big ego in the morning when I've done my makeup flawlessly and put together an amazing outfit, I'm feeling myself and need that extra Umph that the song gives me. Beyonce is always good to dance to in front of the mirror anyway! LoL!

Of course, like the entire world I was an immediate fan of Drake. But I, like many young woman, choose to believe that we are the original Drake fans because 'Degrassi' was the soap opera of the teen generation. Jimmy was always my favorite character, and I'm going to stick with that! 

Anyway, when I step out onto my stoop getting ready for the walk to the J train, I always turn on "Fancy" by Drake. It's a feel good ladies anthem performed by two very sexy men of hip hop, Drake and TI, produced by Swizz Beats. It's a nice reminder of how there are men who appreciate all that we do as ladies to stay young, fresh, and fly. Another song that gives me fuel for the day is "So Hard" by Rihanna. The beat is uplifting, and the words speak to my life perfectly. Favorite line: "My runway never looked so clear, the baddest bitch in heels right here!". I love any anthem which gives me a boost, makes me feel great about myself, and reminds me why I am who I am and should be proud of all that I do.

When I'm thinking of my son, or laying in bed with him at night I love to put on "Heaven" by Jamie Foxx. It's such a touching song about a parent's love for their child. I also love "Zion" by Lauryn Hill because my story was very similar to hers, people told me to be smart and think of college, but I chose Motherhood, and that was the greatest choice I've ever made in my life. I also like "Baby of Mine" by Bette Middler from the 'Beaches' soundtrack. It is a touching song of love and protection.

And when I'm winding down at night, I love to listen to a variety of songs by Kelly Clarkson, Paramore, Kanye West, Drake, Mariah Carey, just to name a few. 

I believe everyone has specific songs they listen to on a daily basis because, without always realizing it, the song may relate to your life in someway and you feel like the Artist is speaking directly to you. Music feeds the soul. Fans feed the Artist. It is a circle that we as fans, and them as artists all depend on.

My Favorite Flats

So, before I moved to Atlanta a few years ago, I had no idea who Tory Burch was. She's a fairly new designer, but she just wasn't as popular in California. When I moved to Atlanta summer 2006 I was introduced to her super cute flats and I was instantly a fan. When I relocated to New York City summer 2008, I quickly saw the Tory Burch classic flats were a staple in every woman's wardrobe, young and old. My favorite pair that I own are these pink patent leather ones. Now, the one thing about these flats are that they require a breaking in. The leather ones don't seem to hurt at all, but the patent leather ones kill. Working in luxury retail for a few years, I spent 8 hours standing or running around these very large stores, which has given me numerous feet problems, therefore, I wouldn't suggest trying to break them in at a job like that. Wear them regularly until you start to feel them letting up. Then you will have a pretty comfortable, very cute pair of flats. I was so bored on the subway I decided to take a photo of me wearing them! LoL!


They retail for $195 to $250 depending on the style.

On My Way To The Top

So, as I sit on this extremely slow J train, I love to think about all of my dreams and how much closer I am to achieving my goals. I enjoy the ride, when I have a seat, because I get the opportunity to read a good book, catch up on the latest and greatest in fashion publications, or jot down notes and ideas for my own literary ventures.


Anyway, I have so many great opportunities going on in my life that I feel even a bit overwhelmed. But, I do feel all these great happenings are well deserved because I am a hardworking single mother who just wants to give the best life to my little one. I know right now Jayden is as happy as any kid could possibly be, and although that brings joy to my life, me as his mother knows there's much more that I want to give him and see him do. In the meantime, I give him EVERYTHING I can possibly afford, and his wardrobe is impeccable, so thus far we are doing pretty well for ourselves.


Reaching the top is not a far distance, just a slow journey up.


Don't ever stop dreaming, you never know when they'll come true!


Toodles!

Fashionably Famous: Jazmine Sullivan

So, due to the amazing connections of my Mother, a local New York playwright, I get some great opportunities for events happening all over New York. Tonight I will be attending the Mary J. Blige concert featuring Jazmine Sullivan and Miguel. Now, Mary J. is definitely an R'n'B queen, but Jazmine Sullivan is slowly becoming one of the most recognized and original voices in music. Her most recent single, "Holdin You Down (Goin In Circles) makes moves on my heart! It is an anthem that many women, including myself, can relate to. And her style is impeccable. Her gorgeous mane has inspired the next look that I'm going to be rocking shortly. The full curls compliment her gorgeous, olive shaped face.

Her lightning bolt earrings by Melody Eshani are amazing! Mirrored acrylic, they give that extra spark that a woman may need when trying to stand out from the crowd. Jazmine's pink lips, bonze eyeshadow, and thick eyelashes give a soft, feminine, yet sultry look.

This curvy fashionista goes with a menswear inspired look, pairing a classic crisp white dress shirt with a velvet vest, and the very trendy boyfriend inspired jeans that have been all over the runways. Paired with some sky high pumps, gold chains, and a straightened with flipped edges Farrah Fawcett inspired hairstyle, the look is trendy while still being original and sexy.


And because I love her so much, here is one of my favorite hits from her, the single that introduced her to the world 'Bust Ya Windows'...

Fashion Frenzy: The Jumpsuit

 

A look that I have become so enthusiastic about is the Jumpsuit craze going on in fashion. A definite ode to the 70s, the jumpsuit is a classic, sexy, sleek look that just about anyone can pull off. The jumpsuit pictured above is from UK retailer, Evans, spinoff site Style369. It's beautiful lines and sexy ruffled v-neckline give the extra flare a doll needs when heading out for a night on the town. The best part about this jumpsuit: it's available in plus sizes so us curvy fashionistas can rock this sexy look in the fall. I can't wait to get it and pair it with a classic pair of Christian Louboutin platform pumps for ladies night out  or my nude Chanel boots from last season for a more casual look during the day!

Rihanna looks amazing in this colorful polka dot number from D&G. Critics gave it both good and bad reviews, but I personally love the mix of color, the belted waist, and the one shoulder accentuated with a ruffle along the bustline. 

And of course, my ultimate girl crush, Kim Kardashian, rocked this Black Halo wool tube jumpsuit. She added a large patent leather belt to accentuate her curves and add some ultimate sex appeal to the overall look. Love it Kimmie!

Follow Me: The Twitter Craze

I am a social media addict, and Twitter is an obsession I cannot break. I do not tweet nearly as much as most of the people that I know, but I do love Twitter because my friends post their pointless thoughts all day and they keep me very entertained. I also love the fact that I am able to follow my favorite celebs who always give great information on upcoming shows and events, giveaways, and just hilarious stories. Some of my favorite celebs to follow are:

Khloe Kardashian: @KhloeKardashian

50 Cent: @50Cent

Kanye West: @KanyeWest

Nicole Richie: @NicoleRichie

Marlon Wayans: @MarlonWayans

Lauren Conrad: @LaurenConrad

Karl Lagerfeld: @KarlLagerfeld

Rachel Zoe: @rzRachelZoe

Solange Knowles: @SolangeKnowles

Those are just a few of the many celebs I follow. Pretty much every star has a Twitter account, and you can trust the identity if it is verified my Twitter.

A Day In The Life...

So, today is 10/10/10, and I don't really understand the big deal about it. Nothing amazing happened today, no special holiday, it's just another semi-cold day in October. Jayden and I spent today as a Mommy & Me day watching Alvin & the Chipmunks and reruns of his favorite cartoon, Phineas & Ferb. I also worked on his halloween costume which will be ridiculously cute and no child will have anything like it. Hint: He's representing a music icon from one of their most infamous music videos.


Anyway, my October is filled with travel, styling gigs, and opening a new store in which I will be a manager. This is a very exciting venture for me because I have never managed before, but I am a born leader and feel this will be a great opportunity for me if I choose to expand my career options in retail. Closer to the end of the month I have a styling gig with a client that I have worked with before, and this could be very lucrative. The connections I have made since living in New York have opened up opportunities that I could have never imagined. Even from working on the sales floors of Bloomingdale's and Saks, I have had the opportunity to meet celebrities, well known stylists, editors, etc.


Being a young mother trying to make it in the fashion business has been a difficult journey, but as I continue to grow older I know that I must push thru so that Jayden and I have a very balanced, stable, and successful future.


I don't have much to say tonight because I am ridiculously tired, but this is just a taste of my daily posts. I am excited about this blog, and you, the readers, who will go thru this crazy journey called Life!


Goodnight!
