"..she has style??!"

the answer is...yes.

I just don't have time to post it, hehe. But let's christen this day, the 22nd day of the third month of the year two-thousand eleven: Faustina makes a style post.

I'm nowhere near as amazingly stylish as my BestFriend Gayle, but...I like to believe I know a lil' something something.

So...here goes:

Until I can figure out how to get a normal full body picture, here it goes. Basically it's a cobalt blue silk camisole underneath a black sheer lace cropped blazer. I chose inky bluish-black skinny jeans with black flat suede boots. Oh, and this bracelet...

I apologize for the blurriness, but as you can see, it's a cream-colored braided bracelet with silver charms woven throughout. The best part? It's not your usual bracelet--it's actually a long strand that you wrap around your wrist! The second best part? It's suede! I'm loving suede even more than usual lately. It's just so comfortable, so earthy--perfect because I like to add random bohemian touches throughout my outfits, regardless of what look it is--I'll find a way to make it work, hehe. I love, love, LOVE this bracelet, and it's my favorite latest find. $6.95 from H&M!

That's it for now. Hey, style posts are kinda fun. Maybe more will be coming your way, who knows? :)

"I'm a movement by myself, but I'm a force when we're together."

Those lyrics come from Ne-Yo's "You Make Me Better."

...Granted, he was 99% most likely talking about a lady friend, but hey. I can still make my own interpretation. I consider myself a pretty independent young woman.  However, as fierce as I am on my own, it doesn't compare to how I'd be without my surroundings--family and friends. One of the biggest mistakes one can make in life, in my opinion, is to isolate themselves. Sometimes it's intentional. Sometimes unintentional. Sometimes, it seems like the only solution. Choosing to be alone should never be a solution to anything! We forget sometimes to drop the "me against the world" mentality and realize that the 4 billion + people on this earth all co-exist. If we were meant to be alone, trust me, God would have made all of us isolated from Day One.  Each person you cross paths with is never an accident. Even a total stranger can teach you one of life's most valuable lessons. So open your eyes. Don't choose to ride solo. Choose to let the people that life has thrown your way be in your life. Be not just a movement, but an unstoppable force.
