The war on fashion

So while trolling my news feed I came across an article about fashion photographer David Jay who recently photographed war vets.  This hits close to home for me as many of my friends are in the military and I have seen the effects of deployments on them and their families.  The men and women featured are those who were seriously injured in the line of duty so some of the photos are hard to look at.  David Jay says that he hopes this inspires people to act with love and compassion and to realize that we control our fates.  I agree, its time that we pressure our government to pull our troops out of the middle east.  This is a war based on economics not human rights.  I know that this wont get tons of likes in popular media, but maybe if I can get a few people to read this and understand what war does to people maybe enough people will want that change.  To often I see these vets panhandling because the VA wont provide support and they are turned out.  So stop and help them or go to woundedwarriorproject.com to make a difference in someones life.  War comes with to high of a cost.  What if it was one of your family members, friends, or spouse?

A bit of randomness

so I feel like its been some time since I actually wrote anything on my blog lol.  Please forgive the recent polyvore obsession so I apologize.  I've also been super focused on my boutique and trying to generate sales since a sistah doesn't have a steady source of income. 

It appears that summer is in full effect (hello 85+ weather) which means that I hate being sweaty as much as the next person.  During summer my hair is always up as its to hot to have it down laying against my neck.  Pants, im not understanding why women think dresses are great.  If your thighs touch like mines, nothing is worse than chub rub and heat rash.  So I personally stick to pants and loose tops.  I also realized that after last night that maybe its time to give up the heels.  Stop, I know your shaking your head but hear me out.  I wore my heels last night for a networking event which required about 30 minutes of standing and dear god my feet were hurting.  maybe its because im  not dressing up for work anymore and I need to retrain my feet, but I couldn't get to my car fast enough to change into flats.  So im thinking that its time to accept my age and gracefully move into flats.

Summer style

So I've come to realize that I'm in love with my polyvore app. It lets me create looks using the fabulous jewelry that I sell via my boutique.  I know I haven't been as busy posting but that's what happens when your not working and looking for a job.  But I'm asking that everyone take a moment to go check out my boutique and make a small purchase or tell a friend.  Thanks again to all my followers! You guys rock!
