If it comes in grey, I want it; the amount of grey tees I own is obscene, but I just can’t help it! While I live for black, let’s face it, the details can get a little lost – everything is more defined in grey.

The Christian Louboutin Cabo‘s are pure love at first sight. The point-toe pumps are an update of the So Kate pumps, crafted in Italy from glossy black leather, they’re embellished with multicoloured glass beads at the toe (reminiscent of fun fair ground lights, don’tcha think?). Wear with… (more…)
To quote a Jay Z lyric “I came, I saw, I conquered…” (I know, Caesar said it first but c’mon), my translation – I came, I decorated, I unpacked (read: we)!
We’re now pretty much settled in our new home (the house party sealed that), which of course is fabulous, and we both really love it. However, we moved at such a busy time of year, at least for me; September-October is such a busy time (events, launches, fashion week, mom’s b’day, my b’day, dad’s b’day, press days, etc), all these trips to and from London are messing with my working momentum.
Not that I’m complaining AT. ALL! Well maybe a little, it’s a way of coping, but when there’s shit that needs to get done and it can’t do it because I physically don’t have the time, it plays on my mind, which plays with my sleep. Do you see where I’m going with this? No, me either.
Anyway, I’m headed to London tomorrow to be with my Mommasita for a week, then again a couple of weeks later for another week. After that, it’s all systems go up in that studio til Christmas; I needs my beauty sleep!!!
The second I saw this Black Addicted sweatshirt, I knew it was for me! I mean I am somewhat addicted to all things black – me in a shop (especially homeware) “do you have this in black?” “OK, what about white?”. The distressed jeans were also a no brainer, and as for the trench – I live in it!
I bought these heels a while back in red first, which I wore here; as soon as the red arrived I knew I needed the black and that I had to stud them with black studs – black on black, whut?!. I’ll upload the vid of the process on here as soon as I’ve got round to editing it.
Right, I’m off to drink a jasmine tea while I finish some stuff for Freak Deluxe.
A year older; another year wiser.
Quite a bit has happened in the last year, this time last year I was vacationing in Miami and Jamaica – best holiday ever! Since then we’ve moved house – moved cities in fact; the Cyrena Monique website is underway; and life is much more positive and far less stressful.
Things I’ve learned in the last year:
Positivity is key – Every year I get more and more positive – A positive mind leads to a positive outcome
To speak on my problems and not keep them all to myself – as they say “a problem shared is a problem halved”
To allow others to help me – I always want to do everything myself, it’s good to let others help sometimes
I have serious RBF (Resting Bitch Face), no, it’s a real thing and I have a bad case of it; thinking positive thoughts helps that out a little – I think
Not to overthink things – all things!
To always look for the positive in every situation
This year I’m hoping to learn how to save; money, energy, breath!
