Days Lost

Unused Photos

Its been a while since I've updated my blog.  Mostly because Theo needed to be fix ( Theo is my Mac) lol. And not having the options of connecting to the interweb has done me good.  Plus, its been too hot to actually give a hell about what you wear in New Orleans so I didn't feel like taking pictures or doing anything else but trying to stay cool. Sad, I know.

Anyway, back to the good of lacking a computer did me.  Without my computer I started going through my things to find what I wanted to sell for my garage sell. And while I was cleaning and separating my wants from my sell, I found my old journal. You every rediscover something that instantly made you smile?  My journal is it.  Looking through it, seeing the words and the drawing that I was doing a few years ago made me wonder if growing up means that sometimes we not only gain certain knowledge but we lose it too. Seeing the poems that I wrote about love, insecurity, hurt, pain, about my life made me remember that not too long ago I was not the confident girl that I'am today. Looking at the notes and pictures of things I would like to do, know, or go made me remember that I have not achieved all my goals yet, and made me happy for the new ones I set for myself.  It made me notice that I sometimes get so caught up in the world of the internet: facebook, twitter, tumblr, ichat, and everything else that I forget what it feels like to just sit and be.  In the days without my computer I rediscover music I love, my love for writing, my love for reading about ancient Eastern religion, cutting out pics in old magazines,  I discover my love for just being.

This weekend I was a working girl lol. Being in retail you have to always strike a balance of wearing with is cute, fashionable, work appropriate , but still comfortable.  Plus, I had to walk to work this weekend due to a marathon that took over the downtown streets of New Orleans.  So I throw on my trusty jeans, and loafers and this awesome shirt I brought at Anthro the previous week. It  baggy, airy, and a little heavy all at the same time, weird, I know. The Dooney bag I brought for $7 has been my go to bag since I brought it a week ago.

So folks, I got some really good news. Which is, this week I start my new job working at Urban Outfitters in New Orleans. This is going to be awesome because  get to meet a lot of  cool people and maybe take pics of their kick-ass outfits. Plus being the first to see some of Urbans new clothing doesn't hurt either.

Well off to class.

Peace & Love......... LivvyV

Hey everyone, hope everyones weekend was good. Again this weekend in New Orleans was beautiful. But I couldn't enjoy it or ever get a cup of Thai tea ( yes I'm obsess) because I had to work. Which I don't mind but who want to be inside when you could be out enjoying the sun.  Anyway, I semi-stole the tropical orange shirt from my mom. Semi because I have to give it back. I just loved the color so much it had me wishing I could be on a tropical island somewhere.  As for the bright orange lipstick, I had it since last year and never bother to open it. With a little push from my friend Lesly, who urge me to try color I finally give it a try. And to tell you the truth I  liked it.

Well, I'm off to start writing my paper for my Latin America history class. I will be posting my kick-ass purchases from last week soon. It involves shoes.

Peace & Love.......LivvyV
