How You Get The Girl

 

 “Diamonds are held under tons and tons of pressure, extremely high
temperatures of fire and shuffled under shifting of tectonic plates, for
a long, long time! Yet when they come out from there and are put on
display for their beauty; does anybody stop to evaluate the diamond
based upon all the shit it’s been through and say “Remember that
disgusting hole it used to be in? I bet it was hell in there!” No,
people don’t remember where a diamond has come from; they just see the
beauty of it now. But it wouldn’t have become so beautiful, you know, if
not for all of that! So why should we look at other people, or at
ourselves and evaluate them/ourselves based upon their/our pasts?
Shouldn’t we forget that? And only see the beauty that is in front of
our eyes? Whatever it was, it made you beautiful! And that is what
matters!”

The Girls Get Talking: An Intimate Afternoon with naFlora


“It’s not very easy to grow up into a woman. We are always taught,
almost bombarded, with ideals of what we should be at every age in our
lives: “This is what you should wear at age twenty”, “That is what you
must act like at age twenty-five”, “This is what you should be doing
when you are seventeen.” But amidst all the many voices that bark all
these orders and set all of these ideals for girls today, there lacks
the voice of assurance. There is no comfort and assurance. I want to be
able to say, that there are four things admirable for a woman to be, at
any age! Whether you are four or forty-four or nineteen! It’s always
wonderful to be elegant, it’s always fashionable to have grace, it’s
always glamorous to be brave, and it’s always important to own a
delectable perfume! Yes, wearing a beautiful fragrance is in style at
any age!” 

PINK is POWER

Hello everyone! I am back to my favorite color: PINK for this outfit post, which I must say, was absolutely appropriate from The Clozette Ambassador’s Afternoon Tea Party held at Commune over at H.V. Dela Costa Street which was exactly across the building I work in and spend most of my weekday afternoons in. It was a Saturday which meant no work so I decided to trade in my business attire for something more appropriate. The dress code called for Weekend Chic and I made sure to be situationally dressed and therefor sported this pale pink outfit. I committed to the color from head to toe, I must say.
