Last Page Of The Very Last Chapter

2011-08-10T12:31:00.000-04:00

It's a charmed life

Innocence wild

Crayola skies for a thousand miles

It's a good life in the happily ever after

Last page of a very last chapter

It's the story of a charmed life

It's a charmed life

Unexplainable grace

Stumbling, you fall right into place

It's a childlike world and you can feel the magic

Far from the typically tragic

That's the beauty of a charmed life

Who needs to know

When it all comes and where it all goes

Who needs to know just where

Fate will take you there

It's a charmed life

Innocence wild

Crayola skies for a thousand miles

It's a good life in the happily ever after

Last page of a very last chapter

It's the story of a charmed life

Who needs to know

When it all comes and where it all goes

Who needs to know just where

I know you'll be there

It's a charmed life.....

It's a story of a charmed life....

It's the beauty of a charmed life....

Cheers to all the....

Love & Support, Positive thoughts....

That are around me ....

Making my Hopes, Loves & Dreams a...

Reality.

Confession: I Survived Foundation

2011-05-17T15:08:00.001-04:00

The Tears, The Laughs, The Loses, The Triumphs...We Did It.

Its been one hell of a year, ill tell you that

The people that have come into my life, good and bad I've taken it all in stride.

I'm thankful for the friendships I've made, and mourning the ones I've lost this year.

All that matters Is I'm laughing louder, and smiling harder lately

My Mother, My biggest Cheerleader, Supporter, Confidant....

.... The one person in this world that I completely trust.

and In case your wondering...The Boyfriend totally passed the parent's test!

My Parents, The two people that have always put my needs and wants first, making everyone of my dreams big or small a reality. I'm realizing more than ever how lucky I really am .

So what's next? I officially resigned from my style column on CollegeFashionistaDotCom Friday, I'm opening new doors of opportunity as the new NYC based intern for Velvet Brigade. One Door Closes, Another One Opens- I'm a big believer in this mantra.

Style On,

I Shall Believe

2011-05-08T20:23:00.000-04:00

I believe in fate
I believe everything happens for a reason
I believe our obstacles are our greatest teachers
I believe in love
I believe in wishing upon a star
I believe evil does exist, and way too often is disguised
I believe in living my life the way that's right for me with no regrets.

I shall believe

A New Month, A New Chapter In The Book ....

2011-05-01T16:16:00.000-04:00

Happy May! April showers has brought me May flowers big time... I'm down to the last two weeks of Foundation Year! Its time for Emmm & I to make our " I survived Foundation Hell" t-shirts & coffee mugs. Its time to celebrate the last year of triumphs, loses, tears, laughs & screams. We did it, where has the time gone? Happy Foundation!I remember it like yesterday puling up to 118 w 13th street in my parent's black SUV with the uhaul behind us, terrified. last month, April first it was girl's night the object of the night was to have fun and come home with more crazy stories, which we have from that night. but then something else happened, someone grabbed my waist and after dancing I definitely felt something. I still find it difficult to say the b- word, as in boyfriend. Finally found someone in the sea of Gay Paradise - Thank The Lord!I'll admit that its a bit controversial that I'm dating someone five years my senior, I don't know if this is going to last forever, or where its going to take me, I'm having fun, I'm smiling more, I'm laughing louder and that's all that matters at the end of the day.
Cheers... To A New Chapter & to all the amazing people around me that make Parsons life amazing!

Put On Your Easter Best

2011-04-26T10:04:00.001-04:00

Some photos from Easter weekend...I think this is the best holiday dinner yet. It was a crazy weekend, I crashed my car whoopps thank god it was just a fender bender, I outed my cousins' engagement to a table of twenty- people just for kicks & I wore a brand new head to toe Lilly Pulitzer outfit that I purchased on a impromptu- to visit to the Madison avenue flagship after lunch at Becco one Friday afternoon. 2 & a half weeks of foundation left. Get ready the stories are going to get crazier. So much has changed for me over the last few months. I have a boyfriend. this still feels strange for me to say aloud. There are so many things that are difficult to me to say aloud because its all just too new, strange, odd, amazing, crazy, exhilarating. I love each and every one of you that were with me to celebrate Easter with my crazy family. I may not have all the answers but I have some of them- all of you are a blessing in my life.

And Just When You Thought You Were Done Looking...

2011-04-09T13:05:00.000-04:00

And just when you thought you were done searching , the unthinkable happens. Its scary, fun, exciting, nerve wracking. You can't breathe, sleep or even eat at times. You have butterflies in your stomach that won't go away, your weak at the knees, you get chills up your spine when you kiss him. You can't concentrate or get your shit together, in class your caught just looking up and smiling. For so long its only been about you, and now its terrifying give someone your heart and hope to god that they don't break it.Your so happy you can cry because for so long you convinced yourself that this just wasn't in the cards.
