Lately, Been Thinkin Boutcha Babyyy ...

Summer days filled with wonderful books, shopping, self-discovery, and major life realizations. I've been reading "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. It is seriously such an inspiring story, and I really feel in touch with her and her journey through the different countries. I've really been focused more on my personal blog posts lately. I've been getting bored with all the same fashion photos, and blogs. I'm working on getting better at blogging and staying on top of my blog list. It's difficult but I truly love blogging so its all worth it.

I've also purchased a new bag from "Lowry Farm", which is a Japanese brand. Totally in love with its size, and texture. It fulfills my Chanel cocoon bag fetish for now, lol check out the post I made here.

And trying to be more focused on figuring out my career. Updated my linkedin, Updated my portfolio on coroflot, and sketching ideas for my portfolio. I'm really stressed out with my housing situation for the coming semester, and I really don't like this, going through people, oh you need to talk to this person, oh you need to talk to this person. It's driving me crazy, but I hope to get it resolved after tomorrow.

I hope you all have a wonderful Friday and weekend.

Thanks for all the comments guys!! I love reading every single one of them!
