BRICK BY BRICK

WEARING: JNBY Leather Jacket, Mango Jeans, American Apparel Oversized T-shirt, DIOR Heels and Ray Ban Sunnies

A lot of people are afraid or dislike change. I can honestly say I adapt to things pretty well and quickly, this way I don't even have time to be stagnant. I see change as opportunity to grow, to learn and to conquer. Yes, of course it sucks if you are the "King of the World"(or the Hand of the King) and he (or you) gets beheaded. But if you are a normal person like me and not part of my favourite TV series: Game of Thrones that shouldn't worry you.

Some changes are brought about by destiny and are usually unexpected, but sometimes you want/need change, waiting around is not an option. Well, welcome to the club if you are also taking a leap on faith and stirring up your life. I am building my dream and my life brick by brick, to the best of my abilities.Now on to some treats, because what is the point of living if you can't have some sweets and champagne when your heart (or emotional state) desires? My heart always welcomes bubbles, pretty things to look at, and delicious things to taste. I had a hard time keeping my white clothes clean and spill free. I am so clumsy some times. Anyone else?

    I love that you are in your White phase, just like Picasso had his "blue" =). Changing is part of the work of every artist that is always in evolution, so if you´re confortable wearing white now, it means you´ve evolved your style to a higher level.

    Mel, You are just beautiful and I love your strong will. I agree, better to embrace all that change and take it as an opportunity to learn and grow.
    I want to meet you at Thierry for macaroons and beautiful treats soon. The two of us share a serious love for pretty delicious sweet things.

    I wish I had your wardrobe. I would LOVE for you to be my stylist. Everything you put together is just impeccable.

    digging everything you wrote in that first pharagraph.. and loving the outfit.. cool minimalist look... I tend to choose my black ray bans over all the other sunglasses I own, and I do own a lot cause I just love sunglasses... but my wayfarers nevere tire me.. are you that kind of ray ban obsessed too? ..I was just wondering ha..
    anyway,, thanks for stopping by my blog, I'm definitely keeping track of your blog.. hope you enjoyed the champagne.. I'm more into red wine.. anytime!
    stay cool!
