Life isn't about finding yourself.

Life is about creating yourself.

In class, of course I would be reading Vogue magazine instead of paying attention (Lol). Lately I feel like things have been so out of control, I am just trying to put the pieces back together.

And I'll be alright, And I'll love again, And the wounds will mend, I'm bruised but not broken, And the pain will fade, I'll get back on my feet, It's not the end of me, My heart is still open, I'm bruised but not broken..

This car was parked outside of my house.. I thought it was pretty cool so I took a picture of it..

denim, lace, and day dreaming.

I have been on the hunt for a oversized denim jacket for the longest time.. I went from thrift store to thrift store and still no luck.. I just happened to rush over to American Apparel during my break at work and there it was.. Hanging up on the first rack my eyes laid on.. It was waiting for me to purchase it! While I was in there I also purchased a laced cream one piece.

Update: Hello everyone I have been so busy lately with work. I feel like that has been the story of my life all summer. School is just around the corner and I couldn't be happier. Do you ever have those moments where you feel like running away? Well that's exactly how I feel right now. Lately I have been thinking to myself and have come to a conclusion what my next step is going to be. I was offered an educational opportunity in San Francisco but my heart wasn't in it so I didn't bother. Which leads me to New York in January! I am so ready for a change and I couldn't be more happy with my decision.

I have been looking all over for these Spring Courts and I finally found them :)

think outside the box

I do not care what car you drive, where you live. If you know someone who knows someone who knows someone. If your clothes are this years cutting edge. If your trust fund is unlimited. If you are A-list B-list or never heard of you list. I only care about the words that flutter from your mind. They are the only thing you truly own. The only thing I will remember you by. I will not fall in love with your bones and skin. I will not fall in love with the places you have been. I will not fall in love with anything but the words that flutter from your extraordinary mind.

This summer has been one of the most life changing thus far. I have learned so much about the people I once surrounded myself by. The one's you expect to be there when you need them most are no where to be found. It helps paint the picture more clearly and no longer blinds you from the one's who truly matter. Over the past couple of months I have drifted apart from some and have created new bonds with many I never expected to. Each person has taught me something about myself and the type of bond we have formed. Both positive or negative I am truly blessed for this learning experience. I have learned so much about myself, and I can say proudly I have grown into my own. This summer has mad me realize what and who is truly important. Now I can only look towards my future and walk away from the past. I am ready to go out and claim what is mine.

A change has come.

"Let me be patient, let me be kind.

Make me unselfish, without being blind.

Though I may suffer, I'll envy it not.

And endure what comes,

Cause he's all that I got"

Where do we go from here? I don't know what to do

My mind has blanked out.

"When I feel what I feel

Sometimes it's hard to tell you so

You may not be in the mood to learn what you think you know

There are times when I find

You want to keep yourself from me

When I don't have the strength; I'm just a mirror to what I see".

Rihanna's new haircut

It seems to me that the new trend is shaving your head; from Cassie, to Lala, and now Rihanna.

How do you feel about this new look? Would you ever shave your head? Leave a comment I would love to hear some feedback on this one.

i had to get this off my chest.

 "I have come to terms that I am powerless over people, places, and things"

People: "Are only temporary". One is placed into the lives of others to share thoughts that can be both positive or negative. And in the end we can't change one it is simply up to the individual as to which direction they shall choose to walk in.

I would just like to say: "I am doing just fine if you haven't noticed. Please don't be worried about me. I have it all put together for a woman my age come to think of it. My ability to claim what is mine and drive for success has rubbed off on you. Yes, we have some goals in life that are similar that we both wish to accomplish. "But". I am the reason those visions are clear. Whenever your in doubt my opinion is always called upon for approval. Someday you will see that our "bond" was simply one not to throw away. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed your company while it lasted. You will simply never be forgotten and you will always have a place in my heart. But I think right now it is my time to move on. I wish you the best in everything you choose to embark on".

I am the happiest I have ever been! I can finally say. I have come a long way and I simply deserve it. "My life ain't rosy but I roll with it". I am loving the company I am choosing to keep, and in love with all these exciting adventures I embark on daily. There is so much to see and explore. All I can say I am ready for everything life has in store. I will always remain humble and blessed for every giving opportunity.

lala's new look.

Lala has decided to let go and try something new although it is similar to Cassie's she still made it her own. I wonder who is next to try this look out?!

What are your thoughts

love it or hate it?

truth enlightens.

For the past few days there has been some areas in my life that have been questionable. I still remain to appreciate what I am blessed with. This is only a temporary situation and things will work out. With everything feeling like it is so out of control I still try to have a positive outlook on things and always try harder than I did before standing still isn't an option. Yesterday I had an interview @ Kate Spade. I feel like it went pretty well and I am feeling great about how things went. She asked for some references and told me she will be making decisions by the end of next week. I really need this so pray for me everyone! Being laid off from work fucking sucks it is so hard to find work now and days.

On another note I am considering transferring to "The Art Institute" San Francisco, CA. I have been speaking with an admissions advisor for the past two weeks. And she is very impressed by my drive and motivation that she would like for me to attend as early as "July". I am having a few mixed emotions about the sudden change. Honestly I would love to go to San Francisco I have been wanting to move out there for the longest time. The thing that scares me most is starting over.. I am a very open minded free spirit type of girl so I have no doubts it is just so different from home. I am also applying to "The Academy Of Art University" San Francisco, CA and "LIM" New York, NY. I Know for a fact I want to move out of Boston as soon as possible I just don't know if I want to stay on the "East Coast" or move out to the "West Coast"?! I have some decision making to do.

the sun does shine after all.

For the past two days things have not been going in my favor until today. On Sunday I received a call from my boss. She was calling to tell me that I was one of a few that were going to be getting laid off :( Louis Boston is the most exclusive high-end retail stores in the whole city of Boston. They carry designers like Marni, Dries Van Noten, The Row, Balenciaga, and Neil Barret just to name a few. With the current recession clients are no longer able to shop from the store as frequent like they once use to. Louis Boston has 4 floors that include a restaurant, hair salon, men suits/lifestyle, home furnishing, and finally women's. With the lease ending in January 2010 changes are becoming more frequent. Louis Boston has been at its current location for 40 years. They will be relocating to the water front in January the future of this Iconic retail store is looking slim due to lack of funds. With all this being said I lost my dream job.

Having no job isn't an option. Today I awake early and the first thing I had on my mind was to look for a job. This is day 2 of my search and I come across Kate Spade after looking long and hard. I have already applied for that sales position on-line the night before but I thought I would apply in person just to be more assertive. I place my resume on the counter and was handed an application by the present sales associate. As I am filling out the application the manager comes out of the back and walks towards me and says "Chloe oh my god I was just walking out here as we speak to give you a call and ask you to come in for an interview". What a coincidence right? It was so meant to be :) when another door closes another opens. I believe everything happens for a reason. I have an interview on Friday @ 3:00 p.m. Wish me luck!

Believe in sunshine on a cloudy day or when in doubt.

a sad sunday.

just when you think you put all the pieces back together the unexpected happens..

today wasn't a good day for me, I received bad news and from that point on, I found myself lost in thoughts looking for answers.

so I decided to go out to take my mind off things for a while.

I thought long and hard about everything and chose not to let this bump in the road that life has placed in front of me get me down, I will adapt and overcome, this is only temporary..

and soon a smile was brought back to my face

@ the docks.

when things don't always go as planned I have good friends to fall back on.

we are shadows of tender fury.

walking in these heels on this road to life isn't as easy.

Fearless..

Sushi.

Today I wake up and finding myself looking through my buddy list and I come across my long lost friend Lily's screen name and decide to see what's new in her life. We later meet in Harvard Square and go and get Sushi from Samuri on Newbury St. We arrive and I order the "Spicy Scallop Roll" and "Shrimp Dumplings"! It was soooooo good. The food was great and it was nice to see her and catch up on life. I then came home was loafin for a little bit on the Mac and then movie with mother ♥ Today was a good day :)
