THE ONES WHO REPRESENT WHAT I BELIEVE IN...."THE FRESH KIDS."

I LOVE SOLANGE KNOWLES. I THINK THAT SHE IS SUCH A WISE AND INSIGHTFUL PERSON. SHE IS SOMEONE THAT I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE LUNCH WITH AND JUST TAKE IN HER VIEWS OF LIFE. HER STYLE IS SO "CUTTING EDGE". ALOT OF PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND HER BUT I DO. ITS SIMPLE SHE IS A "WOMAN"...WITH A VOICE. SHE REPRESENTS EVERYTHING THAT I BELIEVE IN...FASHION, MUSIC, LIFE, LOVE, LAUGH, AND FREEDOM.


THESE ARE JUST SOME ARTWORKS OF SOLANGE.


P.S.-GO TO YOUTUBE..AND LISTEN TO SOLANGE..."F THE INDUSTRY." THAT SONG REALLY INSPIRES ME.

XOXOXO

IN MY USUAL DAY-TO-DAY TASKS OF SURFING THE WEB...I CAME ACROSS SOME COOL, RIP, AND ILL...FASHIONS IN PARTS OF JAPAN. THESE STYLES ARE SO ELECTRIC AND WILD. I LOVE THEM ALL AND A FEW I HAVE WORN MYSELF. ESPECIALLY THE SHORTS AND TIGHTS. I LOVE TO SEE STYLES FROM AROUND THE WORLD. I GIVES ME AN INSIDE LOOK OF THE BRAIN OF FASHION ALL OVER. I AM REALLY EXCITED TO SHOW YOU GUYS THESE STYLES...I SURE THEY WILL SOON BE TRENDS IN THE U.S.

1ST OR 2ND PLACE!!!!!!

MY SECOND TERM OF COLLEGE IS ALMOST DONE. I HAVE ONE MORE DAY TO GO. I HAVE TAKEN MY FINAL EXAMS AND TESTS. I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT AND HOPEFUL. I WORK SO HARD AND HAVE HAD MANY RESTLESS NIGHTS. THE FIRST TERM I MADE ALL A'S(DEANS LIST)...I WAS AND STILL IS PROUD OF MYSELF. I REALIZED THAT 2ND PLACE IS NEVER ENOUGH...FIRST PLACE IS WHERE I WANT TO LAND. I WANT THE TITLE OF HARD-WORK, I DONT CARE FOR THE RECOGITION....I JUST WANT THE INNER PEACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF KNOWING WHAT I CAN DO. I THINK OF MY LIFE AS A MASTERPIECE....THAT HAS JUST BEGUN. I ADMIT MY SOCIAL LIFE SUFFERS DUE TO MY MOTIVATION IN SCHOOL...BUT I SAY..."LOVERS NEED TO CLEAR THE ROOM". THIS FIREBOMB IS COMMING FOR THE NUMBER ONE SPOT.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

A person who has paved the way for me is....my MOTHER. VICTORIA ENGLISH raised five kids alone, basically. She gave us all the world and I mean a damn good life. We have always had clothing, food, toys, and love. My mother is my world. Everything I do, is for her. I work hard in school, to make her happy. Everyday I call her, and she is so exicted to speak to me. That makes me feel loved and special. We have weathered the storm for eighteen years. And this is my promise to her that the next eighteen, we be only be sunshine. I thank God for blessing me with my mother.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN....

When I heard the news of the Great, Innovator; Alexander McQueen...I was and still is devasted. Mr. McQueen was a genis and an angel to the fashion industry. His designs was daring and fierce. Eventhough, I was not always a fan of his designs, I respected his creativity. He had that it factor, that always made the fashion world pay attention. In my eyes, Alexander McQueen paved the road for young, different, fresh, and the vision leaders of fashion....for me, you, and them.


THANK YOU ALEXANDER "THE GREAT" MCQUEEN.

AS I WRITE THIS IT MAKES ME WANT TO WORK HARDER AND BE EVEN MORE DIFFERENT...AND HOPEFULLY ONE DAY LIKE MR. MCQUEEN PAVED THE WAY.

SOLANGE VS BEYONCE A.K.A. HOPE VS SAM

I remember a time in high school when I was choosing a college. So many people thought that going to school for fashion was a big mistake. As I reflect on this today, I remember being ashame to tell people what my major was. They would always respond with"What you gonna be, a designer? I thought to myself then and now..."THEY DONT GET IT." I didnt choose fashion as my major just to be apart. I choose fashion as my major because I love it. It was hard for me, to have my own identity because of my sister Samantha and her great deeds. Samantha is a great person and people always compared me to her. So when, I didnt watch what I said, dressed apart from the crowd, and have a forbidden opinion: the faculty thought I was wrong. But how could I be wrong "im not a goody goody..like SAM. I AM A REBEL AND DO WHAT I LIKE. I use to say to myself, "Shantall..tone it down and be more like Sam..." But now I know that everything that I'm not, makes me everything I am. I felt like people in High School just talked shit but didnt even understand the passion and drive that was given upon me. I have knowledge, just like Sam...but they couldnt look pass the fact that I was un apologetic about what I spoke. A VIVID MEMORY THAT I HAVE IS...MY GUIDANCE COUNSLER, saying "gurlie what u do, be like Sam"...and I simply thought to myself..FUCK THIS SCHOOL. WHAT I AM GONNA DO IS BE LIKE ME AND DO WHAT I FEEL. I AM ALWAYS PRO-SAM AND THEY TRIED TO MAKE MAKE AGAINST MY OWN BLOOD...MAYBE IT WASNT INTENTION(BUT IT CAUSED A MARK)....I AM WRITING THIS TO TELL MY FELLOW BELL'S AND BELLAS WHO I AM. SO HELL NO, I CAN NOT TONE...IT DOWN...AND BE LIKE SAM. SAM IS MY BEST FRIEND AND SISTER AND SHE WOULD NEVER WANT ME TO BE LIKE HER..."MAYBE FOLLOW HER PATHS TO SUCCESS...BUT NEVER BE LIKE HER."

SIMPLE GIRL!!!!!!

IN MY LIFE...I HAVE REALIZED THAT MUSIC IS MY MUSE. MUSIC TAKES ME TO A PLACE THAT INSPIRES ME. I WISH THAT I WAS SINGING THE SONGS...JUST TO EXPERIENCE THE EMOTION AND PAIN. BUT NOT ALL MUSIC IS PAINFUL...LIKE THE BLACK EYE PEAS (GOT A FEELING) MAKES ME HAPPY AND CHEERFUL. I LIKE TO CONSIDER MYSELF AS SIMPLE BUT SOMEONE WHO WANTS THE IMPROVEMENTS OF LIFE...."ITS OK TO DREAM". I DREAM BIG AND DREAM OF WALKING THE "STREETS OF NEW YORK". I DONT HAVE TO STAY IN THE "W HOTEL"...BUT JUST WALKING THE STREETS AND FEELING THE ENERGY. I WANT THAT (EMPIRE STATE OF MIND). REMEMBER, WE CAN DREAM... AS LONG AS WE ARE HUMAN.


THANKS FOR LISTENING....


P.S.---MUSIC IS THE WORLD...ONE ENDLESS SONG.

AND THE GRAMMY GOES TO...SHANTALL ENGLISH!!!!!

SO LAST NIGHT WHILE WATCHING THE GRAMMY'S I HAD MY DEFINING MOMENT....WHEN JAY ALEXANDER ASKED RIHANNA, WHO SHE WAS WEARING...AND SHE REPLIED "ELIE SAAB."

I'M STILL RIDING THE TITLE WAVES OF A SMALL VICTORY. I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH MY FELLOW BELLA'S AND BELL'S. EVERYONE WHO READS THIS BLOG, CONTIBUTES TO MY HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS.
