GOODWILL HUNTING


All of my followers on Instagram
know how much Parker and eye
 vintage shop to fill our wardrobes 
with unique items and accessories.

Parker mentioned that eye 
needed some harem pants
4 my wardrobe and eye have been on 
the hunt ever since.
Eye finally found this lovely jumper.



It's a white 1980's Harem Jumper 
eye picked up from the Goodwill 
4 only $5.49.

Back in the day they were also referred to as 
"Balloon" pants.

Harem pants are usually made 
of soft fabrics,
have full legs and gather at the ankle.  
The modern version of harem pants 
was popularized
in the 80's by MC Hammer and became know as
"Hammer Pants".  




Everyone wore them and if you were heavy into the club scene 
 back in the day, 
you wore your Hammer Pants!

Eye styled my Harem Jumper 
with one of my favorite
neck pieces by Tomoko Igarashi 
that eye have had for years.



Eye wore this look
to the Dallas launch party 4
One Ajile Foundation
on May 17th.
The launch and my jumper 
were huge hits.

WHAT EYE KNOW


On March 9, 2014 eye celebrated a milestone birthday and as eye reflect back over my life, here are 4 things eye know.


1.  Time waits 4 no one.  Eye tell all young people to dream big and go 4 it.  If eye knew then what eye know now, my life would be so different.

2.  The things my mom told me that eye didn't listen to were ALL TRUE!  Eye wish eye would have listened to mom more.  She will be 90 this year and is such a awesome inspiration to me.  Young people can really learn a lot from their parents and elders, just listen.  They have been where you are and they know more than you think.

3.  Things happen, good and bad, that's life. Eye finally learned to be honest and live my truth.  Eye'm no longer afraid of what others think.  When eye create it is always from my "good place" even when it is not received that way.  When eye can't do something, eye say no and not beat myself up about it.

4.  EYE AM HAPPY BEING ME.  It took all these years to love the skin eye'm in.  Eye had a unforgettable birthday as eye was showered with love and knowledge from my close friends and family.  


EYE AM SO BEYOND BLESSED!
