December 1st.

The most beautiful woman in the world to me, the reason I am breathing. She is the person who not only has helped me grow into I am & put me through all hell, I couldn't thank her anymore. She is my savior, the one person I know I can turn to first, even if I am scared. She will yell at me but always turn out supporting me. She will love me endlessly, even after there is no me. I can not imagine life without her because at one point she was all that I had.

Mom, I could describe you & share to everyone how much you mean to me, but I doubt they would want to read that novel I'd come up with. Besides being the blood that runs in me, you are my heart entirely! You are an inspiration to me, you show me how driven a single parent can be, how good of a parent someone can be. Even though we've had our many rough patches, you still followed through by being the best mother any child could have. I can look past the negative & build from it because you've shown me you can't always be sour. By being friends with my Father after all that he's done, you showed me some people just deserve courtesy & respect. I have taken pieces of you that I love to have with me & use for my own growth. Even though there are some traits you can keep, lol, I rather know that you will always live within me.

I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday! You look young, because your heart stays young. Although our health tries to bring us down, you out of all people will not allow that to let you continue living your life. Cheers to you & I hope you are enjoying yourself.

I LOVE YOU!

I had to you guys - she is my mommy. I am her only one. Tomorrow I will have a list to start off December & end the year right. Have to make sure I get some tasks done & reinforce myself.

Rambles #8472

There are moments where you need all the strength in the world to get by. Moments where you need to be completely confident with yourself to know that everything is going to be ok. As weak as I have been, as insecure as I am, I have yet to lose my soul, myself completely.

Slowly, we venture off into our world. There are things that take us in a big whirlwind, but we just have to keep steady even if we are tripping over those steps forward. Every single day is a challenge. The challenges aren't just what is placed in our way, but more of life itself. That is the greatest challenge; LIFE! I know I've said this before but reinforcement & repetition is what sticks, what gets you through.

Pieces of me, my life, my wellness, my mental health - they've all broken off at some point or another. They might still be shattered somewhere around. I do know that not all pieces are meant to be put back together, but transformed into something better. Make a new piece & attach it to you.

Although I am weak, even insecure, I have not lost my soul or myself completely.

Anxiety, sleepless night, hating the world - it will not change what has to take place. Things need to be done despite the way I feel. Whether I am forcing myself to do it, or doing it willingly, it will, should & has to be done. For the most part depending the circumstances.

You could lose, win, or stay neutral. There's no way of knowing without trying.

Sunday: Old Navy Sales.

Today Steffy had to go & get her laptop fixed over at Apple. So we headed into the city & made a day of it. Once she finished with her laptop we couldn't help but splurge a little bit, especially on sales.

Steffy got a coupon for free undies. We ended up in Victoria Secret. I couldn't help but take a picture of that beauty up there. Adriana Lima is definitely good eye candy.

We then browsed into H&M right next door on 34th Street. The knit on these sweaters are so pretty!

Uniqlo just opened at the end of October. We wanted to see if they had anything to offer there. Once we stepped out of the store we walked across the street to Forever 21.

This store though, OLD NAVY, definitely won us over for the day. Before heading to Midtown, we were down near 18th Street & went into one. We made most of our purchases there. Then we went into the overly packed Old Navy on 34th Street.

I decided to record a video of what purchases I made today. Although money is tight right now, I couldn't help but get the sales that they had going on today. It definitely made me feel a bit better about how things are going lately.

Just incase you couldn't see exactly what I purchased:

Jacket that I basically got for a mega sale.

These cute tan tweed shorts. I said wool in the video, WHOOPS!

Nice button down wool sweater. 

Maxi stripped dress.

Everything that was purchased was either 30% off the ticketed price or 75% off the original sweater price. Can't go wrong with deals like these. :)

Happy Sunday!

Who Saves You?!

"Alex you sit there and try to help and save everyone, but who saves you?!"

I've been thinking about this since it's been said to me. It's not that there isn't someone to save me because there is, but I lie to pull the line when it comes to them wanting to help. I don't mind helping, I actually enjoying completely going out my way for others if I can. The person who told me this is right though "Not everyone cares about you, or how you feel. They will take this and use it to their advantage. It's about them before you." I know that some people are like that, I know some people just use kindness to their advantage, but I can't change who I am. Well I can, but I guess in a way I refuse to.

I like being kind, I love to give when I have & even if I don't I find a way to manage. That is something that makes me happy. "You put everyone before yourself and sometimes it has to be about you." Another thing they are once again right about. Things is I rather be the one hurt in the end then see others hurting. I rather know I was the one person who actually cared & that one person who did what I could in their life. Thing a lot of people don't realize is; I do notice when someone takes advantage of me. Those people get their one gulp of help, then from there I ease off completely. I still remain friendly but don't go out my way like I once did.

I know I may seem completely naive, but I can't help for caring about others. In the end who cares for me? Who saves me? There have been people who have gone out there way to help me, I just do not accept the help.

It's still lurking in my mind. I am just. . .STUCK on it!

I've noticed that I have a bad habit of collecting things. The problem is that they sit around & don't get used. I had nail polishes & a brand new Forever 21 skirt up, but those are already gone. I do though have sneakers in mint to good condition that are under $50. I also have some shoes & purses that I want to get rid of. If you follow me on Twitter, Tumblr or Instagram you will already have seen what I have for sale. If not you can just check out either of those by clicking the links.

I hope everyone is doing well. I will post a regular post soon, especially since I actually have an idea.

Empty Boat Rides

Empty Boat Rides a photo by Ahlexandria on Flickr.

It's pictures like these that I come across & can't help but think about you. Don't get me wrong moving on doesn't mean we forget. I can't forget you when you've had one of the biggest impacts on my life. As much as I've been holding in what I've been feeling, holding in these words, I just had to let them out, had to share it.

You will always be someone I will love, always be someone important to me. As many times as we've tried to make it work, as many times as we've said "I love you" - in the end it doesn't matter. Who knows what the future holds for us, if there will be an us, but right now you are living your life & I am going on with mine.

I can't say that you're better off because I don't know. If you are though I am happy for you. I reached out to the girl that you made me hate you over, I told her that if it's her that you choose, I am happy for you both. She gave you the attention I wasn't capable of providing you because I was too torn by all that was done. I still held all the abuse again you. Deep within me I hated you for ever laying your hands on me, no matter how mad you were. Because of me, because of US, you turned into a monster.

& even after all of that, after all we've put each other through, I still can't seem to stop loving you. But I'm empty; although I think of you I am empty when it comes to thinking of us again. At one time when we went to take that picture together I pictured us in it. We've always wanted to share a boat ride together. But now, those images are empty, just like that boat. There will never be an us together in a boat, riding along, enjoying one another's company. We will never be (maybe because of you, maybe because of me).

Knowing that this is completely irrelevant & isn't of importance anymore, just as I am not of any importance anymore to you - Please know that there are times you still cross my mind, that boat ride we always planned on taking.

Halloween + Winners!

Chola to the fullest.

Make-up only for Halloween.

Celebrated Halloween this year & it was pretty cool. The outfit wasn't even as much as I expected it to be. Everything could be found in the house, except the lip liner & the make-up. LOL If you've been following my Twitter you would have seen the other pictures. :)

Not only that I was having a give away to random tweeters. People who began to follow from 1-50 then those from 51-100. I used a website instead of writing all 100 names because my hand began to cramp. The website I used was 'Random Student Selector', but it works out just the same. I had to Google and look up ones that other bloggers have used. I stayed true to it & the first ones it chose I cropped & as you see are the winners of a pair of earrings that I made.

These two lovely ladies on Twitter are my give away winners. Ladies, all I need for you to do is e-mail me your address so I can send you a pair of customized earrings. :] I will also throw in some little goodies that I hope you will like. :)

I hope everyone had a safe & wonderful Halloween.

NEW RULES!

I know the other day I posted up about a give away to the 100th follower. Well people are playing around a bit so they could be the 100th follower, so I decided to change it up a bit! ;)

As you can see I did a 1-50 follower give away. I literally am putting names in a hat from the 1st-50th follower & going to give them a pair of earrings that I made. I decided this would be great to do with follower 51-100. I know who is the 50th follower, I've kept track. So this should be interesting on how it works out. I figured a random pick will give more people a chance & also my Twitter would gain more followers.

So if you aren't already following, I suggest that you do: Twitter.Com/Ahlexandria

Good luck! :)

P.S. Did a small update on Etsy. I will be adding more by tomorrow. I also am going to making shipments on recent purchases tomorrow. :)

Twitter?!

I have so much updating to do on this blog it's a bit ridiculous. I've been clueless on what I should write on here & this is my primary blog. If you've been following me on Tumblr, you'll notice my random Instagram posts. I am now expanding (once again) networking wise & I recreated a Twitter account. GASP!

I figured if I want to make this blog more of a read & want people to see what I do with my hobby; I need to go back to networking more instead of worrying about people's stupidity on networking sites. If you follow my Twitter you will see my Instagram posts (which if you have Instagram you should follow me on there), as well as updates on when new earrings are posted on Etsy.

Currently I am doing a give away to the person who is my 100th follower. I think every time I get to the hundredth (ie: 200, 300) follower, I will offer them a customized pair of earrings.

This blog will get some new buttons on the side: Etsy, Twitter & a new e-mail that everyone can contact me at besides my G-mail (Ahlexandria@Ymail.Com).

Let's see how this all turns out. I will be back dating some posts, so stay tuned. :)

October 16th.

Definitely just had to make a vlog about why I don't need to do much texting anymore with the help of my new iPhone 4S. It's a great feature, especially Siri as a whole.

I know the look is really raw, but personally it is what it is, this is me on a Sunday. :)

If anyone has an iPhone & has apps that they like, please do share. I'm always interested in new apps & I like to review them. Also, those are some good apps for the rest of you to use. I'm still iffy about 2 of them, but for the most part that's what I use (not including the games I have)

Happy NFL Sunday everyone!

Relieved In A Way.

I feel some sense of relief. Although it may not have been the normal thing to do, I had to do it. I was holding it in for far to long, it wasn't letting me move on with my life. This grudge that I had let build up inside of me, letting it eat me - but for what?! This girl didn't do anything to me, because who am I to her?! I am a nobody. My ex though, she was someone important to me & for her to turn to her burned me. While trying to fix things with me, while trying to make things "better" between us, she runned to her because I couldn't find the way to give her all of me; the love, the attention, the comfort that she wanted because I was inflicted with all this pain that we had caused to one another.

It's sad. It honestly is that so many months later I still cry about it. I cry about things because I can't believe they happened, or that loving me wasn't enough. It held us there for so long, but on this thin thread that eventually tore apart. As hopeless as I was, & still am, I can't let my emotions for my ex make me hate this young girl. I can't hate either or them, I don't have the hate in me, I just rather share how I feel & hopefully with her understanding I can feel better.

This all seems crazy, all seems so odd for me to even mention, even to bring up to her. I had to though, I needed to get that sense of relief that I shared how I felt. Even if it comes from no where, out of the blue, I know it's what I needed to do (for myself mostly). She seems like a wonderful person, she's a great parent & she's intelligent. Someone so positive as that, my ex deserves in her life, deserves to make her happy! I only want the best for my ex, for anyone that has come into my life. & although the past can not be forgotten, I know I can move on with a clear mind & a less weighed down heart.

Hopefully what I needed to do has helped me.

October 9th.

Sold items within hours of posting & creating Etsy. :)

AE jean jacket, ripped shorts, Grey Griffey's, Tribal tank & studded purse.

I found this in a bin. :)

NYC from NJ.

Pride event in NJ.

Sunday - what an eventful day. Out all day wearing a pair of earrings I made. Going to the Pride event that they had, as well as enjoy the view that was right behind it all.

Within 24 hours I had sold 4-5 earrings. I am proud of the outcome & will continue to post new items once a week. I am still taking requests & working on requests. As usual everything is hectic.

:)

IT'S OPEN! :)

Ladies & Gents,
You do not know how exhausted I am. I am absolutely excited for my shop that I just opened up on Etsy (click the link to check it out). I posted several earrings for now, but I am going to do my best to get more up. It's very hard to do it on your own - any of you who are doing your shops alone, I admire you! Hopefully you all enjoy. I am still taking requests but will post new earrings on Etsy as well.

Le Sigh! I can't even thank everyone who has helped motivate & support me through this. I was determined & I made it all happen. Now I want to make sure I keep adding new items & gain new followers & loyal customers.

Time to relax.

xo's - Ahlexandria. <3

Tomorrow!

Tomorrow my online shop WILL be open. I'm determined to have it up by Midnight if not by 8am EST. LMAO. Trust me when I say, this is going to be hard work, today will be a very strenuous day. I'm going to make sure to post new earring idea I have in mind + some of you've already seen. I hope that you all check it out once I get everything posted up! :)

October 7th.

Leopard mocassins, with an oversized thermal that was tucked in & a mustard stripped blazer.

October 6th.

Keeping this a simple post for the day. Have a lot to get done before Sunday. Hopefully it all comes together accordingly. I really can't stop thanking people for being as supportive as they have been, it has been motivating me to continue doing what I'm doing.

It's too cold for me. I am wearing my leggings under my khakis, with a jean shirt & a grey sweater underneath. As you can see I'm trying to break in my leopard shoes. :)

Friday is tomorrow - I'm hoping Steffy comes & spends the weekend with me, she's like the manager of this entire project going on.

October 5th.

Drained, drained, drained.
Back to work I go tomorrow. Took two days because I was feeling completely out of it, I get sick quick & I needed the time. I'm continuing with my goals, but one is a bit of a struggle. I'm working on it though.

I did though straighten my hair as I intended in one of my goals. It also got cut! Took about 3-4 inches off. It was down to my bra strap in the back, but it was completely dead. So now when I have my curls it'll be extra, mega short!

I hope all is going well for everyone on "Hump Day!"
- Ahlexandria

October 4th.

I took some time off for myself. My body is honestly on the verge of giving up on me & I can't deal with it. I feel depressed, stressed out & over-thinking a lot of things that I shouldn't. I need to let it all just fall in place & stop wondering. If I know I'm doing my best, how much more can I push myself? It's a matter of trying to the best of your ability, not killing yourself over it.

A nice part of today was the package I received in the mail. It put a smile on my face. I need new flats & skips. Gradually I will build up on fall/winter clothes & items. I really need some thicker material clothes, but for a good price. I need to find some more thrift stores & deals.

Leopard print hard bottom flats. Tribal design skips. Leopard print moccasins.

I hope everyone had an amazing day. By the end of the week I'm hoping some things fall together for me. Either way, I have to keep going with my day to day.

October 3rd.

Each post this month will consist of the day it is written on. This is just to go along with a the daily photo that I am doing with Steffy, as well as not knowing what a title could possibly be. Creativity is going to lack in some places when it needs to be put else where at the moment lol.

As for being creative. . .
I have to thank the majority of you that have contacted me about the earrings. It seriously has helped me & inspired me to do more. I get ideas from all of you, I feed off of what you all have to say. Negative & positive remarks are great, at least it's feedback. No response to what you are doing means that you might be doing something wrong.

Caramel-Vanilla Macchiato

Funniest thing on Instagram when I posted this picture: "They spelled your name wrong." I know it was a joke, but seriously, people are so used to using my name with the H. It's quite interesting how long it's been with me. Anyways, Starbucks was definitely a 'picker-upper' today. I feel completely out of it, but still am trying to achieve my goals. 3 earrings minimum a night, let's see which 3 I will be working on today.
Hope everyone's Monday is going well.
- Ahlexandria

October 2nd.

I've noticed that lately I've been using old techniques & aquiring new ones to make my earrings. They have sort of the same "style"/"look", but are different than the last. I'm excited for the Etsy shop to be up & running next Sunday. I hope it gets great feedback!

Also, I noticed that there have been comments left & I haven't gotten back to several you. I do apologize, but going forward all comments I post I will reply to. If anyone does need anything outside of the blog, or just wants to say "Hi", my e-mail is on the side. :)

October 1st.

While reading Steffy's new blog I decided that I'd like to join her in some of what she shared. It is October first. It is time to set a monthly goal, or set things up where you begin on a fresh little chapter. Every month we all can gather up what we'd like to do or continue on what we'd like to work on. I decided to make a list as well:

• Get my Etsy up by Sunday the 9th.
• Have a photo for each day of the month.
• Attempt to add more water to my diet.
• Find new ways of cooking different meals.
• Straighten my hair at least once this month.
• Do one test a week for my college courses.
• Make 3-5 earrings a day.
• Get back to messages within 24 hours of receiving them.
• Find positive outlooks.
• Pick a new book to pick up and read.
• Go on some of Steffy's journeys that she had planned.

Just a brief little overview of what it is I want to achieve. I think I am capable of doing so & I have already started my next coursework for school. I'm making sure that I take notes & do what I feel will help me remember everything. I am trying to maintain a 3.5 GPA or higher. Let's see!

Happy 1st of October!

Overdue Update!

OOTD: Thrift blouse & stripped skirt.

This is a long overdue post. I was practically creating a post every day to. . .well, never! Things always seem to be completely hectic, juggling everything has been hard, but I'm trying my  best. I seriously just need to make more use of the Blogger app I have to set up posts & have them up & going. I don't want to leave the readers out of the wind with everything going on. I've been posting a lot of photos on Tumblr because it's just as easy as one-two-three. I want to make sure that I keep everything up to date, even if it's just a weekly post.

To all the new followers I wanted to say thank you. I know that with the give away that Liz had recently, it definitely brought about new readers. For those of you who have complimented my work thus far, I really appreciate it. Feedback is essential to growth, no matter if it's positive or negative. - Please remember that whether it's a hobby, a job, or even just life in general. Also, congratulations to Miss.Tapia for winning the contest. When you get the earrings & wear them if you could please send me a picture I'd appreciate it so much!

As for my earrings:

I've been getting asked on how to purchase earrings. As of right now it is per request. I am currently working on setting up my Etsy account. I am hoping in two Sundays I can share the "Grand Opening". Haha! The earrings are coming along & they're not as easy to make as it may seem. I love how everyone has contributed their sense of style & what color scheme they'd like for what they will be wearing. It helps me narrow down what to use & how to put everything together. If you go to the earrings link I have posted on my Tumblr, you will see those who have received earrings from me thus far, as well as ones that I have been creating. I will create either a little button or link on the side of the blog so you can just click right from my .com to see the earrings. This helps those who don't have Tumblr. Samples of these earrings are obviously attached into the blog. :)

 My design for my blog is still simple. The revamp didn't work out all how I wanted it to, but I do like simple. I actually did it myself, but another thing I want to do it get back into designing. This way I don't have to bother any of you lovely ladies for banners. I am working on it, so please don't make fun yet! Lol.

I've come to the conclusion I have an addiction to sales! I literally went thrifting this weekend & although I didnt' get as many things as I thought I'd walk out with, I definitely got some nice deals. Who can go wrong with a brand new Talbots blazer that was once $88 & got it half off the ticketed thrift price & paid around $9? Can you understand my addiction now?! I still have things that have yet to be worn that I found thrifting that I will be wearing soon with this weather. As for sales, OH MAN! That's another blog within itself.

I hope all has been well for everyone. I promise to get another post up shortly. Have a beautiful day.

GIVEAWAY!

Good morning everyone! I'm trying to keep up with updating & my normal day to day. I hope things have been going well for everyone. My outfit for today is throw together: I'm wearing a navy H&M dress with a brown belt across the waist & a grey woven cut-off top. I have my brown boots on incase it rains because I decided not to get my feet wet lol.

So the reason for this blog is about the giveaway that Liz is having. I'm very excited because she's not just giving any random thing away, she's giving the earrings that I made away! :) Last weekend I sent her two earrings that she had asked for, one was to giveaway & an extra. I also threw in some little goodies that I hope she would be able to use. For her to even think of this idea & have my customized item to be apart of her giveaway is absolutely AMAZING!

If you check her blog out you will see all the information on how you can enter. The more points that you get the better it is for you! Please note that these items are handmade, so they are fragile, especially the crosses. It's a nice chance at winning an item instead of paying for it, but do know I'm trying to be absolutely reasonable with pricing all the earrings I've been making.

I am currently taking orders upon request. Soon enough I will have my Etsy account set up where you can just purchase what is already made. For now I feel a request of an earring that you like does help. It takes a week to send out: this includes me the item & shipping it to you. For shipping & handling rates please speak to me. Right now I'm only asking half of the shipping cost, which in reality is nothing but $1-2.

I wanted to wish those who were entering the best of luck! The giveaway closes on the 20th of September & the next day Liz & I will be choosing the winner. :)

Good luck everyone & thank you!

I know I haven't been posting as much as I should have been. I was trying to keep up with day to day, but I have been completely slacking. It was easier posting to Tumblr because of the app that I had on my phone, thank goodness for the new Blogger app that I mentioned in yesterday's post.

I've been a bit busy, also I've been sick. But I'm trying to make sure that I send everyone's earrings out that has requested as soon as I can. I had to restock on items, so hopefully this week I will finish on the huge list that I have going. I'm trying to be as productive as possible, especially adding in the work that I have to do for school.

Tonight the Pats vs the Dolphins. I'm actually pretty excited to see Brady vs. Reggie Bush. It should be interesting with the cover & new players that they have.

Anyways,

Hope everyone's Monday went well.

NFL Sunday's + iPhone Apps!

First & foremost:

To those who lost someone during 9/11/01 or because of 9/11, my love goes out to you & your family. A decade has passed & time hasn't healed all wounds.

NFL:

IT'S THAT TIME OF SEASONNNNN! I'm a big fanatic of football. I can watch all games & enjoy each one. I honestly don't have a favorite team, there are some I prefer to watch, but I do keep up with the games and the players. All the games from today were absolutely great!

iPhone Apps:

I also downloaded new apps onto my iPhone. You will see some posts from my iPhone & especially those from the new Blogger app they finally have. Hopefully it'll be easier to keep up with, just like it is with my Tumblr. I have all these different photography apps: Instagram (@Ahlexandria), some collage app, an editing app (to brighten the iPhone photos) & then this cool app called Pose. If you have an iPhone & have Instagram follow me: @Ahlexandria. Pose though are for OOTD type of posts. It's similar to Instagram, but involves outfits, stores you purchased it from, the prices & comments. I joined it because it's like a Lookbook but easier. Same name as everything else: @Ahlexandria - if you decide to download it.

Let's see how the Blogger app works out for me. I have to mess with it.

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope your weekends were all enjoyable.

Memorial Day Weekend 2011.

I promise to keep posting more pictures. Slowly but surely.

Yankees!

Yankees! a photo by Ahlexandria on Flickr.

Yankee games with Mom. :) These are the moments when it's priceless. I had such a great time just seeing my Mom & doing things we used to do when I was younger. We had a nice mother-daughter day & we plan on enjoying others. Hopefully we can see one more Yankees game before the season ends, if not we have the NHL, NBA & my favorite, the NFL coming up!

I have other pictures that I will fix & edit. On the mean time this one was my Mom's favorite. I also am getting earrings together to ship this week to some lovely bloggers. :)

A picture from 4th of July weekend. Extremely overdue!

Stay updated on Tumblr with anything for this weekend.

Inkwell + HK.

Friday = Jean Day. It's cold in here, but definitely an easy going day with the upcoming holiday weekend. I did my first mailing for the earrings today. Put two pairs in there for Melody, with some little extras that I hope she likes. I plan on sending her more soon with a shirt that I will fix up with studs or a little design. Everyone who has contacted me about the samples have been nothing more than supportive. I can honestly say that I am beyond grateful for everything. You ladies, even gents, have been awesome!

I'm going to work on some more earrings this weekend. I am taking requests for the moment because it makes it easier to know what is wanted. I will soon set up my Etsy account once I get extras.

Enjoy your day! - Ahlexandria. <3

My First Pair.

This pair was my first set of earrings I made. The crosses are apparently the "in" thing now a days so I went & purchased several to use. The crosses are made from fresh water seashell which makes them extremely fragile. I learned that if you drop them, they break. I have made a few others since & have given them to friends (IE: Steffy) who have been trying to help me get the word out there. I'm planning on sending a few others out by the end of this week to some lovely ladies: Melody, Dari, Liz, Kasey & Esspi. Hopefully they all enjoy them & stunt them hard. ;) It's going to be a busy few days after my regularly scheduled day, but it'll all be worth it.

Simple + Comfort.

Another day of being completely exhausted! I'm not sure if it's because of the weather change, or I just haven't been getting more than 6 hours of sleep. My body is on the verge of collapsing! I don't think the health issues I have makes it any easier for me.

Anyways,
I wrote down some outfit ideas on Monday to pull out for the week. It worked out pretty well. Yesterdays outfit was mostly H&M, easy to just pull from the closet already put together & put on after my shower. Today, same thing. I have my H&M Trousers on, with a peach shirt, my Forever 21 sweater, my thrift belt & my little laceless oxfords from Payless. No matter where you buy, as long as you like it that's what matters. The majority of the things I wear I've had & just started throwing them together or wearing them.

Happy Wednesday! Friday isn't here soon enough. Monday is Labor Day & I just want to have a nice relaxing weekend.
