TEARS!! Guess what I got??!!

Dress: Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons, Earrings: Los Angeles Artwalk

You guessed it! It's my very first acoustic guitar!! YAAY! A friend of mine surprised me with it for a late birthday gift. What a surprise!

Some of you may not know..but I am also a music LOVER. I background sing for some of the dopest bands and church ministries in L.A. The guitar has always been my favorite instrument for some reason..never knew how to play it. But give me until this time next year! I'm gonna be good!!

ARTWALK findings!

I attended Artwalk again in downtown L.A. for now the third month in a row. I was determined to do one thing when I went back down there....SPEND! Last month I went and almost CRIED at all of the vintage clothes and jewelry I saw for as cheap as $1! And I didn't have ANY cash on me! Here's a few pieces of jewelry I purchased..

This has now SERIOUSLY became my favorite piece of jewelry! (You can also find this on ebay)

This is my FAVORITE instrument that I hope someday I can master at! I would LOVE to play this some day!

And let's not forget the ART at ARTwalk! My godsister purchased this beautiful piece of artwork for me..that now hangs on my wall. Thanks Tay!

I submitted this pic to Essence magazine for their streetstyle section! Determined to be one of the gals featured in there someday! Essence is one of my favorite magazines along with Black Enterprise. Let's hope to hear back from them soon!

More beach lovin' today. Just had to. The weather here is beyond ridiculously nice for this time of year. Hit Venice beach today with a friend....


FUN TIMES!

Yes..I am a true goofball...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

This year I turned 26..and I must say..it has been one heck of an experience for me realizing how quickly my life has passed me by. I came out to Los Angeles alone when I was 20 years old, graduated from College, and never would have imagined I'd be where I am. Even though I have such a high standard for myself and figured I would be a tad bit further in my career by now..I still thank God for ALL he has done for me thus far!


I received SO MUCH love this year! (It seems like when you expect less..more comes to you.)

(HORRIBLE QUALITY PHOTO..but I had to put this pic up of the adorable ballons my little god-sister brought me! She's so sweet! LOVE YOU TAY!)

Gifts..gifts..and more gifts! WE LOVE GIFTS!!

That night I went out to Hollywood to celebrate my b-day in style. I didn't do much..just hung out with a few close friends. Then went to dinner with a few more friends.

As soon as I tried this dress on my eyes INSTANTLY began to water (hehe) and I KNEW this was the one! I paired it with a pair of black heels of mine, stringed some fabric through & around the shoe to the point everyone thought it was apart of the shoe. I didn''t have the color shoe I wanted so I created it...creative or what? Can you tell I love bright colors??

Taquita and I!
