Making a Difference
Although this is a fashion blog, it's taken me a long time to realize there's more to life than just clothes. Above is a segment from Nepal's Stolen Children: A CNN Freedom Project Documentary, where Demi Moore travels to Nepal in an effort to bring awareness on forced prostitution of young children, teenagers and adults. I apologize for being morbid; however, after watching this documentary, I had to share. Human trafficking is a problem throughout the whole world, not just Nepal. We need to acknowledge the realities of modern day slavery in order to make the necessary change. Let us not sit idly by anymore.
Kelly Cutrone said it best in her book, Normal Gets You Nowhere, p. 100: "We learn to pass by unspeakable things and situations without ever stopping, whether it's a mother hitting her child at a Wal-Mart or a homeless person starving or freezing on the street while we're on our way to American Apparel to get a two-for-one special on T-shirts. We shouldn't just accept destruction and individual devastation as normal everyday occurrences. Only when we start to attune to what's really happening all around us can we start to transform it."
XOXO,

Really, it's me. I've been riding plenty of up and down waves these last couple of weeks that my tummy's ready to turn and pull out the white flag, though I find myself unexpectedly calm, undithered and still. I've been doing everything in my power to distract myself from the elephant in the room that is my life. It's here, it's huge and on Thursday I finally looked at it straight in the face and said, "Hi." I'd write about it, but I don't think I'm ready for that yet. I just wanted to let you all know I'm still alive... just busy processing.

My Honest Poem
This is a poem written by Rudy Francisco. I found it so intriguing that I had to repost it on both my Twitter and on here. I hope you all enjoy it and fall in love with it just as I did.

"Don't go looking for Mr. Right. Look for Mr. Right Now. And eventually, if he's worthy, then one day that "now" part is just going to drop away... naturally." — The Sweetest Thing
Timing is everything. This reminds me of that special someone whose good company has graced me these past few months. I almost forgot how good it felt to be held by a man. A girl can get used to this.
