What's Going On?

When I created this blog I knew that I would be creating something at least every week. What I have done since first creating this blog is a whole lot of unfinished projects. My plan this year is to finish them all. I mean all of them. What has been holding me back has been lack of self confidence. For some reason I thought I was not worthy of praise. I figured I'm no good since my inspiration comes from other artist, blogs, people, places, things.

Now that I have converted religions I realize that I am just as special as the next person. I do have talent and people tell me that all the time. My canvas for my art is me. I only make what I love. Currently I'm vintage retro glam. I love the style of the 1900s. I was inspired by the show Downtown Abbey. Back then the clothes were very feminine. It made me feel proud to be the woman because the clothes were tailored just right. The accessories were dreamy. I love pearls and lace. I love Mary's style from her hair to her shoes. I loved Edith's wedding dress. Simple, elegant and romantic.


Style is repeated and meshed together. I'm the type of lady that loves to mix current trends with the past. I love ethnic culture as well. A lot of what I make has been inspired from various cultures without me knowing it. I love natural beauty and I love color. My dream is to have my own retail accessory store and help people style themselves.

Fashion is life to me. Expressing myself through fashion gives me confidence. When an outfit is not complete it's hard to feel like I'm my best. I've had plenty of incidences where I did not have the right shoe, coat, or pants and I felt insecure. It's bad when I know I'm not on point, but it's catastrophic when someone else notices and points it out.
