LIFE | Happy Thoughts

My birthday this year was amazing. My parents surprised me. I cried. We dressed up. Had dinner in Neverland with friends. I enjoyed my weekend of lovely happy thoughts. I think I could fly.

Yep that's the dynamic duo of The Originative in the back right and J.O. of WillardRandall in the front right.

LIFE | Birthday Outfit Ideas

One of my favorite childhood movies is HOOK, the continuing story of Peter Pan. Tomorrow I will be 29. I am excited and scared at the same time because I feel like I have been in my twenties forever, so this being my last year before I can no longer say "I'm twenty___" really zoomed me into the realization that I am getting older. That time is continually chasing after me. It is sobering. Saturday, I am having a HOOK inspired birthday party. Adult attire, but child inspired. Friends will dress up as either a lost boy, indian or a pirate. I was torn between being Peter Pan or Wendy. I am going shopping with my friend Chelsea, so I am looking for some inspiration.

ACCESSORIES | Talk to the hand

Life has been busy. I have a MacBeth play to help manage. Fashion show to organize. Book 2 to finish. Branding. Birthday planning. Getting old. And a plethora of other things. Wanna keep up with my crazy life check out my IG for life little lemons and lemonades. Now that I have thoroughly bored with my little commercial, on to the jewelry!
