Nails for #NYFashionWeek : CHECK (Taken with instagram)

Feb 16

I woke up this morning and remembered that this weekend I will be FRONT ROW AT NY FASHION WEEK [ I know you can’t see my happy dance right now, but I’m doing it]. Last week I was freaking out trying to find something to wear and now that it came in the mail, I’m freaking out trying to find the right jewelry and accessories to pair it with. Not to mention hair and makeup. So I’ve been turning to what stylists, celebrities and fashion editors wear to fashion week for inspiration. I’m thinking Jessica Alba’s tomato red nails, Nina Garcia’s wild belt and Rachel Zoe’s jumpsuit with maybe the Olsen Twins’ all black ensemble. I’ll be posting a photo of what I’m wearing to New York Fashion Week this weekend and you guys have to help me choose which look to go with ! -DLace

This is me, over 20 years ago with my pet owl. Today is my birthday and I am now 26 years old. It’s bittersweet because although I am excited that I am old enough to have the means of doing things for myself and for people I care about, I also can’t help but remember how 10-15 years ago I imagined myself at 26 owning a sick loft, working for some amazing design firm, making more than enough money to help my entire immediate family with anything they wanted, having funded a furniture company in my grandfather’s name and probably popped at least one child by now. But then again, 10-15 years I also thought 26 years old was sooo…old. So what did I know, right? Still, remembering those goals I had envisioned for myself when I was a child brings me a little bit of sadness. It’s almost like I let my younger self down. Like promising a child you’ll take them to go see Disney World, but you never quite get around to it. And before you know it, that child is now 26 and too old for the kiddie rides. But although I am too big for kiddie rides now, I’ve still been on on a hell of a ride. So let’s raise a glass to the little girl in Brasil playing with wild owls and in the dirt with the boys, the little girl convinced she was one of the Power Rangers and that dreamt of becoming a super woman who can help everyone at home. Here’s to my younger self. Happy birthday. I promise not to disappoint you. -DLace
