Ya Gotta Keep Your Head Up...

 

Talk about hiatus.  I guess I was on mine a few weeks to long.  I’ve been thinking…a lot.  At the time I stopped blogging I didn’t believe in myself.  I would look at other blogs and get discouraged.  I would find myself behind with my posts.  I disappointed my team, I disappointed my viewers but I had to make a few changes within myself.  The first steps…stop caring what others would think.  For a minute I lost the true reason why I even started blogging.  I started with the intention of doing it for myself…because well fashion is my passion and I wanted to spread my knowledge, my adventures, my travels, everything with my wonderful viewers.  Then I got discouraged…knocked off my rocking horse and I felt like I wasn’t doing well enough.  And that’s when my self-conscious kicked my ass.  You see I’m human. Yes believe it or not…and I happen to be my worst critic ALL the time.  The time I stopped blogging I just felt like I could’ve been doing sooo much better.  So I took a break.  Ok a long break.  But were back!  And where I still think there’s room for improvement, I don’t want to keep you waiting any longer.

 

While I was on “break”, I decided that it was time for me to start making some moves.  Moves towards what I want to do in fashion, begin networking, and stop being such a punk.  My boss at work gave me a great piece of advice a while back…he said “if you don’t speak up now, you will never have a voice”.  Ahhh so true, and despite my tough criticism towards myself, I realized that I need to let that go and just get out there.  So what if I don’t have the best blog, so whattt I’m not at the top of your best dressed list.  I’m learning…I’m getting out there so my voice CAN be heard! 

 

After some searching...I found a post that a Japanese Stylist looking for an assistant for an upcoming photoshoot for KURV magazine.  KURV is an Australian magazine featuring high-end fashion, editorial, art, design, music and film.  You can check them out online at www.kurvmag.com.au .  Masayo, the stylist in whom I now love, was styling for the magazine’s spring issue with pieces from Y-3’s 2013 Spring Collection.  We worked with three Ford models that were all awesome in Tribeca.  It was an all-day shoot…oh did I mention it was outside!  Nonetheless, it was great experience and I had a fun time doing what I always wanted to do.  Where this is the first styling gig I had I can’t wait to get out there and see what I can do on my own.  With compliments of Masayo and her approval that I should style more often, I can’t wait to see what I can achieve next!

 

 

 

As for me…personally…I need to let go of my fear.  Let go of the thought of failure.  What did Drake say..."started not to give a f*** and stop fearing the consequence."  Remember that beautiful peeps..stay blessed...positive...and keep your head up.
