Chain

Oversized chains are the trend of the moment, from chain links (like the Michael Kors oversized chain-link necklace pictured) to bike chains (like the Louis Vuitton bike chain necklace recently featured in the August 2009 edition of InStyle magazine). They definitely bring attention to where you wear them. M.Kors design for the neck draws attention up, while DVF has a design for an oversized chain link bracelet which stands out, yet can go with different prints, solids, etc. Both make them look beautiful when combined with the perfect wardrobe. They make it about the sheen and not about the gemstones. These are simple and elegant pieces that bring in a dominating, yet feminine, appearance and structure to a woman wearing it.

Clutch

Alexander McQueen skull knuckle-duster clutch

What a genius design! Combining chic and edginess to his pieces-with the jewel encrusted duster and texture on the skin of the clutch. It's like having a weapon attached to you at all times while also never dropping your clutch because it is without a strap. It's no wonder though because you'll be beating off all the other jealous ones who don't have their own! He definitely knows how to put things together for new looks.

Brand New Pen

Writing for the sake of writing.
How hard can it be?
Sometimes is takes longer to get in that writing mood.
Now that I'm finally in the mood, what ever shall I write about?
Love?
Friendship?
Family?
Too hard to choose.
Too much on my mind.
So long to write everything out.
But getting it out is a whole process.
Therapeutic in a sense.
Let it all out.
Express ones self.
Tell a secret.
Recount a story.
I sit here with so much running through my mind,
why is it so hard for me to write something with substance rather than question everything?
One day I'll look back through these and wonder why I never said anything,
why I never told,
what was really in my thoughts,
who it was about,
how it came to pass.
Maybe it will seem stupid in the future,
but for now it will consume me.
To my very core.

There you have it.
One page written and already immediately forgotten about,
but in a way I feel better-->for expressing myself in some way.
Even as small as this page of nonsense and rambling.

Double Decker Bus

The Endless Potential of a Road...
It has always been a thought in the back of my mind,
to just grab a car and take off on the open road.
Follow the signs.
See the sights.
Let the roads and highways lead me.
I sit now.
Watching the trees pass me by.
The sun bouncing off of the cars.
Only the shadow of the vehicle constantly following.
The breeze moving the grass, whipping thru the trees.
My headphones singing a soundtrack to the trip.
Some whisps of clouds in the gray-blue sky.
Even as the destination approaches,
one can't help but ponder the possibilities,
that this road could lead to.
Time seems to pass a little bit slower
as I take in the view.
Maybe someday I could live here.
Maybe someday I'll live somewhere like this.
Maybe not.
The only thing known is that only more questions will arise.
The question after this trip:
Where to next?

Ice Cream Cone

Walking down the street I find myself fascinated with people-watching.
Maybe it's just me, but I always find it interesting to be a viewer of others.
The way people hold themselves is much different when others are around.
What people wear, or are willing to wear out, says a bit about them.
Thus creating stereotypes about people; what they like, where they are going, etc.
You can always read articles on: What does your outfit say about you?
You can take quizzes about: What should you wear today?
But, can't there be simpler answers? Does it really take a ten question quiz to tell you why you wear what you wear?
I guess I shouldn't really talk, in the potential to offend, but that doesn't mean that I can't think about it.
I like wearing soft fabrics, bright colors, things that appeal to me personally.
You should know that I want to go into some form of fashion design.
When drawing designs and outfits, I draw what I think would look nice, with colors that compliment one another and the person who may wear it, and a nice fit.
Now I am going off on a tangent.
I tend to ramble.
In time, you will get used to this.
Welcome to the mind that is mine.
