Birds of a Feather....

Completely confused about my flight arrangement....I missed it and was forced to find another way to Jackson to surprise my bf for her Master's graduation. Determined to make it to support her biggest accomplishment...I decided that my best option would be to take the bus ride. 7 to 8 hrs wasn't so bad, it finally gave me time to just sit down and relax from my usual "work like crazy-on the go" daily regimen. I didn't even talk on the phone, just kept quiet in a thought process reading magazines and books I had brought for my trip.

Finally, upon hopping off the bus in Jackson, MS, I sat on a bench waiting for my ride. Out of no where, a boy proposed a question "what size necklace do u wear?" Knowing what was coming next, I asked why and he pulled out his merchandise, a gold necklace...ummmmm "no thanks." Welcome to Jack-town I thought.

When the hotel door swung open, to my bf's surprise, it was me walking in. She went crazy...lol...jumping on me and eagerly excited that I was there. Well welcomed...the night went on and of course so did the partying.

Bright and early the next day, we were headed to graduation. So proud of my bf, I couldn't help but reflect on our life long friendship. Friends since I could remember, there is nothing I couldn't tell her. If ever in need, she would be the first I call. After leaving for college though miles apart, our friendship has never broken and our excitement to see each other on visits has never faded. We came from nothing together and today she grabbed her Master's. I can't describe how proud I am of her. Ive never had to fake with her, our friendship is genuine. God has not only blessed me with a friend I can admire but as you can see from the picture, one that supports me all the same.

Success is Inevitable

Have u ever felt a sense of release or freedom? Or like God placed a ladder of success in front of you and all you had to do was focus on it and climb up? That was me on yesterday. I feel like if i focus on anything i really want, it will come to me..seemingly unreachable but just that easy. In such a good mood I decided to attend Atlanta's Y-3 fashion show and after party. Being a little under the weather, I slept and missed the fashion show but the after party was an overall great atmosphere to be apart of. The crowd was just right, not too many people...just enough with plenty of new faces ;) It gave me the opportunity to meet a few newbies, hang out and catch up with a few homies that I don't get a chance to see as often, hear what's going on in the industry and perhaps get some outside insight on my line and its direction.

I couldn't help but enjoy myself joking around in spirit of the day starting my blog an all. Receiving so much great feedback really has me excited about all the things to come. Not even the rain could put a damper on my parade, however the dudes who impolitely stole my homegirl's umbrella almost did. As we left the event we stood outside covered from the pouring rain. We both had umbrella's but just stood around joking with some "homies" and decided to allow them use of G's umbrella to make it dry to their car. In turn...they never returned...suckers! How do u steal a ladies umbrella in the pouring rain!! Lol...*smh


After me and G concluded our night I headed back downtown to Stitches. The doctor was still at it, but took a break and we headed to Landmark for food. After telling him a few times about my blog he was still confused about what a blog is...lol. Don't mind him, he's not cut off from the world just chooses to dedicate his time to family, Stitches and sewing...can't be mad at that! The Doctor is funny because no matter what it is your doing he wants to know if your reaching to make us known and getting to the money... my kinda dude!
After food(salmon, mashed potato's and vegetables)which was great by the way, I headed home to prepare for my trip to Jackson, MS for the weekend where my best friend is grabbing her Master's. I'm surprising her, she doesn't even know I'm coming :) wish me a safe trip!

P.S- I couldn't end this without thanking everybody for your support...when my line drops...u better buy something! :)
