Freckle feature of the month

I've had a face full of freckles pretty much my whole life and am just now really appreciating them, and dare i say actually loving them. Growing up, I was made fun of for having them and felt they were ugly. But, my mother has a lot of freckles on her face, and I've always loved hers. As little girls we always want to be just like our mothers, so, i felt special that we had something so visible in common. They make her special and I know her freckle pattern better than anyone. By definition freckles are considered to be flaws, "sun spots", too much melanin pigment, etc. While these may be the reasons for freckles, to me, they are NOT flaws. I don't want to get them lasered off or faded! I wouldn't be me, my mom wouldn't be her, and my sister wouldn't be she! They're our special identifying mark and I wouldn't want it any other way. So, in my first monthly freckle feature, I'm sharing my mom with you. Her freckles are gorgeous and I'm sure you'll agree. Our "flaws" make us Flawsome!

Blend in brightly!

This look is from my recent trip to NYC when I went to Central Park for the first time EVER! I can't believe I had never taken the time to go previously. One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is blending in and getting "lost" in NY. At the same time, I like to add a little something accessory-wise to stand out. So, what better than Camo pants, a hot pink handbag and a top knot bun. I loved my day  here at Central Park and I think everyone should experience it. The next time you're in the city, GO. It's massive! When you need to take a lunch break I recommend Coolhaus ice cream truck. They have THE best ice cream sandwiches. You choose the cookie (flavors from chocolate chip to red velvet to ginger molasses to so many gluten free choices to everything In between) and then you choose the ice cream (Tahitian vanilla bean to brown butter bacon to sea salted caramel and so many other delicious options). Oh, and the wrappers even edible. I chose the everything cookie(chocolate chip cookie with pretzels and potato chips stuffed with Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream) and have been dreaming of it ever since. The cookie has the perfect balance of softness to crunch and the flavors are just yummy! All in all, a great day. Can't wait to go back. Maybe I'll see you there...

Flawsome of the month!

What's knocked, bruised, skinny and fat all at the same time?? My KNEES! I can't remember a time when I've ever liked them. I've gone through life thus far embarrassed by them and always covering them up. So, for the sake of my blog, I'm learning to put myself out there and make the best of it. So, I went to a secluded spot and threw caution to the sand!(Yes i was looking over my shoulder for any onlookers and immediately dropped to the ground when i saw someone). I got through it and honestly feel stronger for it. Sure maybe they crack and buckle at the worst times, but they're mine and if I don't accept them, who will? I'm starting to believe that these knees of mine are Flawsome!

Kesh and Camo

Today was a beautiful day, sunny with a bit of a breeze. Perfect for a light sweater, leggings and kicks (my usual "lazy day" ensemble). I'm loving my Kesh hat from American Apparel and my Ash wedges. I've been throwing them on with otherwise boring/neutral clothes and it instantly brings my outfit to life. Sometimes a simple accessory can make all the difference, not only for your look, but also for your attitude. Fashion has the ability to change our mood, and my Kesh cap perked me right up as I walked out the door today. The fact that my feet were happy in wedges was icing to my cake. I needed that!

Queen of stars

My goal is to give you all the things I love unfiltered, un-edited and simple. Freckles fashion and flaws. Me.

My first post and I can't stop laughing, especially with people looking at me. LOL

I'm happiest in a comfortable tee, skinnies, kicks and a dope bag.
