EYE TRAVEL

Eye am a avid collector of vintage luggage with a 

special fondness for Samsonite.

Eye travel, decorate and carry my art pieces in vintage luggage

of all kinds.

Recently, eye was faced with investing in a new travel piece and eye chose a new Samsonite case.  

It's the Jetlite DLX in the color WHITE...like snow.

Now eye know a lot of people shy away from white but not me

and not this case.

It's ergonomic design makes it easy to use and clean.

The Jetlite DLX is also equipped with a TSA approved locking system, Travel Sentry, which allows the 

TSA to identify, inspect and re-lock my case for peace of mind.
Eye picked this beauty up from my local 
TJ Maxx store.

Indiana (Feb 2014) was the 1st trip eye took with my new and lovely piece of Samsonite 

and eye'm pleased to report so far so good.

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!
