If you want to know where your heart is, look to where your mind goes when it wanders.

Guess whose back?! After months of hiatus, I now have a book that is about to be published, booked jobs & a much more dedicated head on my shoulders. Sometimes you just need time away from all the commotion of the world to really ground yourself as a human being! More posts coming quickly in the near future and collab with Nylon magazine!

Sonny: Who’s the chick?
Michael: To make things worse, I love her.
Sonny: Damn!

A thousand dreams within me softly burn.

Beautiful photography by the lovely Lydia Hudgens

I apologize for my absence, my entire life has been turn inside out, but now I am settled and under the entire heap of sadness and heartache, I’ve found a type of happiness that continues to grow each and everyday. Life is hard at times, breakups, loved ones, new homes, new, new, new. I’ve always hated change, and as I grow into a woman, I am finding out that change is good, and at times, a bit beautiful. I feel alive, thrilled and even more excited to see what life will continue to throw at me! Happy Sunday! So much to look forward to, photoshoots, new shops! Stay tuned!!! 

xoxo

MERCY

LACE ON LACE.

I’m hungry for love,

I’m hungry for passion,

I’m hungry for grace,

I’m hungry for God,

I’m hungry for lace.

I GAVE YOU ALL

Deceit, is a painful word, especially when it refers to how you treat yourself. Locked in yourself, prisoner of yourself, lost in your own confines. Walls so high, that no one knows your pain, no one has come in.  For years I have built walls of my heart, scared to be vulnerable, and as soon as my heart was open and bare, reaching every point of passion and affection, I have been denied, time and time again.  I committed to everyone but myself, unable to see my faults as a growing woman; finally, I have seen where I am weak. I attach emotionally to everyone around me. Yet from what I know now, I will never let my past define who I am in the future. Just as the seasons, people change.

I know that joy exists, I’ve seen it on singing faces. I know that light exists, I’ve seen it in radiant eyes. I will hold on hoping, praying, that I will find strength in pain, because I will change my ways. There is beauty in my ashes. My funeral resides, and I will come out pure. Let the memories be good for those who stay.

Bottle service & maxi sheer skirts basically every night was definitely one of the small highlights visiting lala land <3 I just realized that Coachella is literally only around the corner, so now comes that time to start preparing outfits and picking out the best shoes! I can’t wait to lay in the glory of the hot sun and friends! Check out my diary for more candid photos :)
