Anticipating:
The release of the much anticipated single, "QUEEN," Janelle Monae x Erykah Badu (!!!). A new year of life, and the Jamaica trip to celebrate it.

Loving:
This stage in my life. So much around me is changing and it's just like a mass of uncertainty, anxiousness, excitement and possibility is hovering on me. There's nothing like change to come along and completely shake up complacent living. I'm all about it. All things ankara, ikat and geo.

Wanting:
Longevity, Something real. You to know. To transition to "clean living" (diet, beauty regimen, etc.) To do a better job of crossing things off of my bucketlist this spring/ summer. To add at least $5,000 to my savings by the end of the year.

Needing:
More time with my thoughts.. a busy lifestyle will have you running from them so much so, that when you do finally have that rare moment to yourself they overwhelmingly come rushing in. A stimulating conversation.

Obsessing over:
My new found love for my 'natural'.. so laid back and easy. Pastel hued mani/ pedis. Redecorating my new living space; I'm taking the morrocan theme seriously. I'll post pics as it comes together. The what if's.

Anticipating:
The holiday season, vegas trip w/ Hannah (3 days and counting!), visiting the west coast, ice skating, hot cocoa, and christmas light overload.


Loving:
ox blood, deep plum and winter white. accessorizing my morrocan themed bedroom, kenderick lamar "Good Kid, m.A.A.d. city,"


Wanting:
a new professional camera, to figure out a way to successfully go back and forth between blue-black and highlighted hair without having to suffer through the awkward green in between phase, fall weather to hold on a few more weeks (!), a million dollars.



Needing:
to get off my laptop and pack, to get off my laptop and pack. oh, and this dual vine ring by lovemuse.



Obsessing over:
chanel signature circle frames, the seductive deep wine canopy I ordered that should be coming in the mail any day now, Beyonce joining instagram (BaddieBey!), mary katrantzou's graphic prints.

( SIDENOTE: 11/11 )

Anticipating:

Strolling through the Japanese Cherry blossoms in D.C., cookouts, beach bonfires and picnics, consistent warm weather and my 23rd birthday.... cake.

Loving:

Ombre hair, my glitter tips - courtesy of Sephora ( get yours here. ), Daria re-runs on LOGO!

Wanting:

a new professional camera, to dye my hair - honey blond or the bluest of blacks, and chocolate, of course.

Needing:

a sick pair of chunky nude wedges, a nude bustier and the perfect coral nail polish - I'm thinking essie, a new pair of shades - I'm liking some of Gucci's new releases... can't find the colorblock fendi's :( 

Obsessing over:
the Salsbourg black suede Louboutins, my next getaway, and strangely tassles on e v e r y t h i n g.
