The Fashion Edit ~ Shala Monroque

There is nothing more refreshing than a woman revels in her natural beauty and is unapologetically herself. Shala Monroque is both these things, and more. What caught my eye about this gorgeous woman was how simple her style really was, and how she almost used  her body as a plain canvas to interesting pieces of clothing. Though always properly primed, Shala rarely does much to her hair and often keeps it short. The focus is often on her quirky pieces of clothing, most of her clothes are simple to the point of seeming thrifted but don't be fooled, Shala is a close friend of Miuccia Prada and serves as a fashion consultant for the brand.

Letting Go #IamAzedBlogger

My blogging skills have been next to non existent lately but thought I'd get back into the game by taking part in this month's #IamAzedBlogger challenge. We were asked to share something about letting go which is ironic as this is a lesson I have been learning since last year.

I am a hoarder, anything that gets close to me I never want to let go of. I am the kind who believes in forever, whether friendship or romance or even when it comes to my closet lol. I have a really hard time letting go!

But over the last year and this year I have begun to learn the lesson that sometimes you have no choice but to let go. Because sometimes holding on only hurts you more. Some things and some people are only in our lives for a season. I know this sounds very cliche but it is true. Once their part is done we have to walk away. If we hold on to what shouldn't be in our lives, we only take up the space for what should be in our lives. We keep out the new because we can't let go of the old.

My First: Embracing My Natural Hair

Promised to be a better blogger this year and what better way than to kick it off  with a blogger challenge I received as part of the #IamAZedBlogger challenge.

We were asked to talk about our first, and of course a lot of firsts came in mind, not really sure I'd share any of those hahaha, kidding. I'm going to talk about the first time I went to work with my own hair and what it made me realise about embracing your own hair.
