Dear 2012.

Dear 2012,

I love you.

2012 was filled with fashion, music, travel, art, and tons of fun. Art museums, restaurants, and dope cities galore like Miami, Va Beach, Chicago, Atlanta, and Philly. I pursued my love for fashion and styling by starting this blog. I went to SXSW with my sister Jai, which was THEE shit. And while there saw the most trill TDE show in existence  I kid you not. Went to a random ass Illmore mansion party that popped with all types of performances. Try going to the restroom and coming back to A$AP Rocky roaming through the crowd, and right past me, performing something like Pesos or Purple Swag. Juicy-J's black ass performing "Slob on my Knob" live with the most bass possible. It's the East St. Louis in me that keeps that love for 3-6 Mafia strong. And let's not forget not even RSVPing to the Red Bull tent, but ending up with VIP and backstage access with the homies. Random shit rules my life.

I had most of my adventures with my boyfriend Amanze. Always down for a good time and is always looking out for me. At Made in America, he fought through a crowd of thousands and back just to get me some water. Real ass dude. And he's probably the smartest, most compassionate person I know. Because of 2012, I have an even better appreciation for life and the people that are important to me.

It was a year of growth.  A year of learning and understanding. Finding out what motivates me and adopting new goals in life. I realized in 2012, that I want it all. Oh, and I am determined to have it.

2012 was a good ass year and life is only going to get better from here.

Cheers.

Can We Have a Moment?

I really just wanted to thank everyone for supporting me this past year with The Pretty Mustache. Whether you just look from time to time, have went and liked our Facebook Page, or this is your first time here,  it's all love. I appreciate it.  It's all about having goals and trying to do something special. This is me trying to do just that.

I've always been passionate about fashion. It has been the only thing in my life that I have always loved (I mean besides family, friends, music, cereal, Disney movies, and candy of course, lol).  Since high school, I've been tailoring my clothes to be uniquely me. Making jersey dresses, re-purposing clothes, and starting my own trends. No lie, I've always strived to be on the cutting edge of fashion (as far as my budget would allow me to be...hating ass budget, lol.)

I just wanted to speak directly to each of you and say that whatever you are passionate about, do that shit. Just go for it and try. We are at the age where even if you try and fail, your world won't end. There is still plenty of time to try different things and see what works for you. But you have to try. Why. the fuck. not?

It's 2013. Time to start living.
