Nymphs of Change

Radically passionate and bursting with energy, with life-force, with manifestation. The light spirit seeks to favor her dark counterparts attention, to lure her
fury into the world of the light.

Can I just take a moment to announce my latest shoe purchase? 

Can I also mention how much I freaking love Solestruck? They lit-erally rock my world.

I waited so very eagerly to buy these for a long time, and now their mine!! I saved a total of $104 on these lil babies. So, yes, naturally, i’m proud of myself. Patience really does pay off. 

This Black Friday, i’m skipping the ungodly disaster that is mall shopping, and heading over to The Cleaners to pick up some awesome local designs for everyone on my list.. Although,I can already feel the internal dialogue spinning around in my head and i’ll most likely end up buying everything for myself.

Halloween at the Hawthorne Buffalo Exchange was a day to remember. Not one of my coworkers recognized me as I walked in to start my shift (I was Lady Gaga from the Born this Way video—if you haven’t seen it, CLICK THIS, I demand you). Everyone got really creative with their ensembles at work. With costumes from Nicki Minaj to Sailor Moon to Wednesday Adams, there was quite the variety of characters running around the store. We even had some trick or treaters! Prize winner of cutest costumes in the world goes to the little girls dressed in princess outfits.

Too. Stinking. Cute.

Scarfing down candy in an almost empty store for the whole night was a dream. I am already excited about next year! Halloween is one of the best holidays in existence! Next up, Turkey day! mmmmm bring on the carbs and turkey! 

I suggest you check out THIS LINK and see the full photos in all of their glory.

Have you heard about Student Stylists yet? If you haven’t, you really should.

From the website…

Student Stylists was created to give job opportunities to these students, allow them to build their portfolio and resume, and to meet and showcase their talent to business owners in the local community in an effort to increase their chances of gainful employment upon graduation. 

An awesome idea, right? And I am lucky enough to be a part of it! So you know what that means.. I am now book-able! Yay! :)

Take a look at the photos above. They are of the room Student Stylists curated at Content 2011. See the website here.
