50 Shades Fashion Vibe


Looks like someone was reading by night and designing by day.  

I love the tough chic look.  A piece here or there adds a little swag and attitude which I happen to think is essential to any outfit -- and actually life in general.  Herve Leger's Fall line includes a few items on my new Lust list.  They're calling it a study in seduction and restraint. The boots, cuff and possibly the fur trimmed leather harness vest are on my Lust list.    Hold me back.

YOU ARE INCREDIBLE.

I've never been accused of trying to blend in.  I know it sounds like a cliche, but I really do believe we were all created with unique gifts and talents.  I love that about people.  How different we are. Strong, smart, silly, creative, calm, quiet, crazy, bookish, blonde, brunette, lively, lovely, loud, tall, short, straight, curvy... It's all good in my book.  Through countless failed attempts at trying to be like someone else or change my genetic code I've learned that being me is something I can do better than anyone in the entire world. Do I wish I had longer legs? Uh, yah.  Do I have issues? Definitely.  But essentially, I like being "me".  I'm the only me there is. My "YOU ARE INCREDIBLE" art came from my desire to tell everyone I meet that they're perfect the way they were made too. I think it's important to encourage individuality and affirm unique qualities and God-given gifts in our kids, our friends, ourselves.  I hope you know that you (yes, you) are incredible too.
