 a man is great but you can survive without one,

sweet girl have dreams and know they are possible,

 always smile behind the pain because you have faith

F21 top, Zara shortsI’ve never been the type of person that laughs at the failure of others or hate on the success of others. When you are constantly dealing with people where ever you may be, you have to learn to be happy for even the people you don’t care for because it was meant to be their blessing not yours. The more you wish them bad the more stairs are built for them to rise higher. Put all positive thoughts out in the universe so they may return your way. Have a blessed day.

Lately I’ve been taking time to myself just to reevaluate the things that have been going on around me. I feel like I’m confidant in my heart, my intentions and my ways and if the people around me can’t accept that…it’s not my problem. I use to be a major people pleaser, but now I aim to please myself first!

Amanda Uprichard, Shorts: Paige Denim, Heels: YSL Tribute SandalsThese YSL Tribute Sandals are by far the most comfortable shoes I own. I threw them on last week to grab lunch and run around town. I wore them with a peplum top by a designer who I’ve recently discovered named Amanda Uprichard. I also bought a dress from her line. Her pieces are colorful, light and airy. Whenever I’m shopping I always take a look at her pieces.
