5 things that will enhance your life

1. Bring Nature into your home~ Natural plants and flowers livens up your headquarters, and brings such a peaceful/zen environment to our sometimes chaotic lives.


2. ExerciseA run or a fun cardio class for at least 30 minutes induces the body with feel good endorphins, which then enhances every part of your life. Also veggies, fruit, water, and tea cleanses the body of any toxins and gives you energy and great skin!


3. Meditate~Whether you are religious or not, meditating for at least 10 minutes, centers the body soul and mind, therefore increasing brain function, relieves stress, and a peace of mind.


How to: Sit on the floor with your back straight, Light a candle to add inspiration and silence the mind, while concentrating on one thought at a time and if you'd like you can repeat a mantra to help ease the experience.

4. Give and you shall receive~ Whether it be charity work or cleaning your closet and giving all that you do not need to others, this will put your positive energy out into the universe therefore creating more opportunities and blessings to come your way. Personally, giving and being of aid to those in need gives me such an inspiration to be a better person and not to take anything for granted and truly give thanks for everything that I have achieved and been blessed with.



5. Family/Friends~Your family and real friends are the people that do not judge you and have your best interest at heart. They love you no matter what, and when you are down and out, they will be there to advise and help you get back on track. The reason that I am who I am and where I am today is defintely because of the guidance, love, and advice that has been given from the people closest to me. They inspire and motivate me on every level and I dont know what I would do if I did not have such a great support system. So, to all those out there, surround yourself with positive, loving and influential people and the skys the limit!

Cher Lloyd

Cher Lloyd is a UK upcoming singing sensation who got her start on Europe's version of American Idol "The X Factor", and whom just got signed by Jay Z to his record label RocNation. I LOVE her eclectic punk rock style! Although, she is only 17, she can harmonize better than some singers out there and has her swag on at all times. Cant wait to see what Jay will do with Ms. Cher, but Im sure it will be HOTT!

No offense to those that do, just not my steelo! :) Here are some of my fave Kate looks...

Styles Im Lovin right now!

My style continues to evolve, and I base my look on how Im feeling...One day I will feel the Armani vibe while on other days I can be retro punk or vamp it up to Sexarella but I definitely am lovin a bold lipcolor whether it be Fuscia or Red lip, it just adds to an outfit especially in the Spring-time. Also, Ive always loved leopard prints and it is a must-have this season, whether as a clutch, cardigan, or scarf , its so fierce! On Men, Im lovin a Street/Chic vibe, keep it simple and please dont accessorize too much :) This is just what Im lovin this week who knows what it will be next week...Stay Tuned!

Japanese Style

I have always been obsessed with Japanese fashion! Its so cutting edge, artistic, and a mix and match of various styles and genres. The ladies in Japan are known as lolitas, which means a seductive and sexy young woman.

Their styles are grouped into 4 main categories:
Gothic Lolita- Influenced by victorian goth style, which includes; dark colors, crosses, bats, and spiders as well as other popular gothic icons.
Sweet Lolita- Is a childlike style, influenced by baby animals, fairy tale themes, and innocent attire such as Hello Kitty; pastel colors, with headbows and cute purses.

Punk Lolita- An experimental look, with a deconstructed or crazy style while maintaining the lolita silhouette.



Classic Lolita- A traditional, classy and business like style.

                                                       
Which Style do you relate to?

It was so much fun working with these ladies and cant wait till I see them takeover! Be on the lookout for these sisters :) Below are some pictures of the shoot and I will in the future post some more, once theyre all finished in the lab...xoxo

Styling: Donell Jones "Love Like This"

This past summer, I worked on styling a video by R&B legend Donell Jones, for his first single off his new album "Lyrics". Being a fan of his music, it was exciting enough to be working on his project but then experiencing what a cool and down to earth person he and his girlfriend were, made the entire shoot that much more pleasurable. The overall energy was great and doing it with the "Blue Collar" styling squad put the icing on the cake.
Shoutout to Catrece, D and Jasmine! xoxo
