88 keys but a Major Chord Ain’t One 

Music takes me to another place. I close my eyes and play and envision a story unfolding along with the sound. Every song has a personality or a character. I play it over and over until we meet and then I capture it on paper. Music heals and helps the soul. In it I discover myself and who I can be



Bralette –  The Beat. Musical Magic 

“Those who do not believe in magic will never find it.” – Roald Dahl

I find so much inspiration when the sun goes down and the shadows come out. The simultaneous ignition of the fireplace and my head, stirs up a new song. The piano keys come alive, I close my eyes and take a walk through the woods. Magic.

Springtime Bliss “All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.” – Meister Eckhart

“Being broke is a temporary situation. Being poor is a state of mind.” – Mike Todd

In an ever turning world where cats get stuck in trees, you’re out of milk but already poured your cereal, and socks never match, it’s crucial to remember that peace comes from within. Throw on your favorite dress or fluffiest coat, get away from the concrete jungle and take a day to wander. Take time to be present in your own life and truly smell the roses. The best way to do so this spring is in a crop top and some temporary metallic tattoos. Because, just like these shiny little gems, whatever it is that’s got you down is only temporary.

2 – 14 – 16 “Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” – Maya Angelou
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is the most powerful thing in the world. Without love, there would be no purpose. Whether its your significant other, just people in general, or your puppy find something to be passionate about. Because whether you know it or not, on earth and above, there’s someone passionate about you.  And after all, “What’s living if you can’t love?”

Faux Leather Shorts from H&M Smudged Up

1 – 20 – 16 

Messy. Busy. Beautiful. Strange. Adventurous. Tricky. You. Life. Sometimes we lost control and get stuck in the mud. That’s what soap was invented for. Wash it off. Make art out of your troubles. Let yourself get dirty again. Wear some black on black, smudge up your make up a lil, chug a juice box and get out there. That’s how you know you’re free.



Thrifted clothing. Jammin’ in January

“It’s a wise man who understands that every day is a new beginning, because boy, how many mistakes do you make in a day? I don’t know about you, but I make plenty. You can’t turn the clock back, so you have to look ahead.” – Mel Gibson

Ready for a new year, new music, new chances, new people, new experiences, new endeavors, new outfits, new, new, NEW. Regardless of where you left 2015, leave it. Think about new things, new places and go for it. This is YOUR year. Get jammin’ and take it.

Jacket – Thrifted


12 – 24 -15 “The Magic of Christmas is not in the presents, but in His presence.”

Lights glowing. Candles burning. Coffee brewing. Music playing. Christmas morning with the people treasured most. Memories and feelings of peace flooding in. It’s easy to get all wrapped up and tangled in a stressful, busy holiday season and forget what’s right in front of you. No matter where you are or who you’re with, remember that CHRISTmas is about something bigger than just food and gifts.



Dress from Shein Set in Stone

12 – 16 – 15 “Nothing in permanent in this wicked world. Not even our troubles.” – Charlie Chapmin

Open a new book. Start on a new page. If you feel like singing, try. If you feel like dancing, boogie. Get hooked on a new passion. Try. Fail. Try again. Life is about discovery. Discover something new about yourself. And share it with the world. Even if you fall or get stuck or scrape your knee trying, nothing is set in stone. Try one more time.

12 – 2 – 15 “It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible nonconformist warmly acclaimed.” – Albert Einstein

“The biggest challenge in life is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else.” – Unknown

Wake up and wear what you’re feelin’ rather than what others expect. Cause some commotion and stand out. Wear somethin’ crazy just to get a reaction. Reflect your mood. Wear crazy, different, whacky because that’s who you are. Bring out of style, in style. Live on the FRINGE.

The ocean is a diamond as the sun hits the surface. The wind is a singer as it whistles gently through the city. Skipping stones are sequins as they sparkle in the river. The leaves are citizens of a bustling, thriving town. And life makes music all around. I find glamour and art in everything I see, hear, feel, taste. I feel alive in every dusty corner of my thoughts and I hold on to chance and possibility. Potential in everything. Love in an unlikely place. A window of light in darkness. The shimmer of your eyes when they cry. How glamorous is nature and life. Beauty in every step.

Theatre Lights

11 – 17 – 15 “All the world’s a stage.” – William Shakespeare

A day in the lights. A day in the audience. A day in the theatre. Whichever you are, take the stage. From wherever you sit, you always have the power to own it and be exactly whomever you so choose. Feeling bright, I head to the theatre in some vintage inspired pants, a bit of fur to warm my bones and a neon blazer to tickle the senses; a piece of each era for the character I’m choosing today. Hit the stage and rock it.

11 – 9 – 15 “Someone called me lazy today. I almost replied.”

“Clinomania: (n.) Excessive desire to stay in bed.”

Lazy. Laid back. Comfy. Whatever days. When you feel like being stylish but just don’t got the m-m-motivation. Denim. Glam up a classic look by doubling up and adding some shades, a hat and the biggest, stretchiest T-shirt in your closet. Caught in a lazy daze, can’t stop my denim ways.

10 – 31 – 15 “There is magic in the night when pumpkins glow by moonlight”

Chilling. Dark. The night, a blur. Spending this Halloween on the dark side of the moon. Feeling courageous. I think I’ll wear this costume every day of the year. Meanwhile, is that a donut?



T-shirt from The Beat. Desert Heat Wave

10 – 24 – 15 “Without music, life is a journey through a desert.” – Pat Conroy

“I have never been in a natural place and felt that it was a waste of time. I never have. And it’s a relief. If I’m walking around a desert or whatever, every second is worthwhile.” – Viggo Mortensen

The heat is rising like a tsunami and punching my body with an iron fist. Equally, this passion within continues to burn. My feet begin, one step. Then another. And another. Working and moving toward my goal. All I need is Rock n Roll.

Get lost in a creative moment. Get lost in your passion. Get lost in a place without limits, in a place where anything is possible. Create your happiness and get lost. Get lost just to find yourself. Create your own personal candyland and thrive.

She spent her days roaming the earth. The streets knew her well, the ocean breeze caressed her skin, moonlight calmed her bones. She fell into fall and anything at all. Cradled in a blanket of falling leaves that longed to kiss the ground. Capturing each moment. Savoring the freedom. Finding herself in a good read, a candy bar, under the waves, a Zeppelin record. Searching. Discovering. Always. Free.

“We are called to be world changers, not world chasers.” – Jarrid Wilson

We are all made with a purpose. Finding that purpose can be tricky and may seem impossible. Dig deeper. Put a little heart and soul into your search and when you find it, share it. Be bold.

Let yourself wander. Trying new things is key to finding happiness. Change brings opportunity and a new perspective. Travel. Try. Leap. See things for the first time and experience life to the fullest. Grab a milkshake, get in your car and see where the road takes you.
