thefashionmess: Lost In Ethiopia

Lost In Ethiopia

I was finally able to get my photographer to take a few pictures. This outfit is a little more edgy and grungy then what I normally wear. I still love it though, the top is actually a red hot chili peppers men's t-shirt I found at a flea market, I cut it into a tank top and fringed the ends. I love how it came out, and it was so easy to make. You might notice that in the beginning of the post I am wearing a knit cardigan and later change to a pleather jacket. I wore the knit cardigan because i thought it went more towards the winter theme and gave it a more relaxed feel, but my photographer thought the leather jacket looked better, which I agree but I said it didn't fit my mood LOL. Anyway we liked both. What do you guys think? I should be posting more since I will be off for the next 3 days, and i really want to keep up with my blog. I love having a blog where i can post all my obsessions on! Stay Tuned!

all the cash, but not a clue

now you know what i've been through

But now she's gone,

she's gone away

The sweetest feeling i got from you,

the things i said to you, were true

its so bad, its got to be good

mysterious girl, misunderstood.

Sometimes I have to remind myself

that i dont have to do what everyone else is doing.

its not about how hard you hit.

It's about how hard you can get hit

and keep moving forward.

and in this perfect weather,

we'll find a place together.

Pick a star in the ocean sky,

I see me, I see you

and that is why

El punto es que soy rara,

pero nunca me sienti rara.

She always had that about her

that look of otherness

of eyes that see things too far

and of thoughts that wander

off the edge of the world.

in your life, you will meet people

some you never think about again

some you wonder what happened to

there are some that you wonder if they think about you

and then there are some you wish you never had to think about again, but you do.

Until you get comfortable with being alone,

you'll never know if you're choosing someone

out of love or loneliness.

Someday someone is going to look at you,

with a light in their eyes youve never seen

they'll look at you like you're everything

they've been looking for their entire lives.

wait for it.

if they aren't helping you dream bigger,

inspiring you to work harder, or motivating you

to do better, you don't need them.

if its real,

it will still be there

through the test of time.

Dont be afraid

of your own company.

you may find yourself

a very pleasant

companion.

nothing gets away

that is meant to be yours.

I am not what happened to me

I am what I chose to become.

when you don't dress

like everyone else,

you don't have to think

like everyone else.

you only live once,

you may as well be amusing.

style is personal

it has nothing to do

with fashion or trends.

stop and smell the roses.

fear kills more dreams

than failure ever will.

art enables us to find ourselves

and lose ourselves at the same time.

destruction leads

to a very rough

road, but it also

breeds creation

Life is a canvas

so pick up a brush.

If you constantly find yourself

trying to prove your worth

to someone

You've already forgotten

your value.

Good things come to

those that believe.

Una persona valiente

no es una persona

que no tiene miedo

si no la person

que aunque tenga

miedo, sigue adelante.

Stay close to anything

that makes you feel

glad you are alive.

Cut negative people

out of your life

not because you hate them

but because you respect yourself.

I love when you call unexpected

cause i hate when the moment is expected.

a good man ruins

your lipstick

not your mascara.

There are two type of women

Goddesses and Doormats.

Sometimes we just have to

let things go.

If you love life

life will love you back.

Dedicate so much time

to improving yourself

that you don't have

time to criticize others.

Fashion is what you buy,

style is what you do with it.

Style is a way to say

who you are

without having to speak.

Say it now,

because you

never know.

They say time

changes things,

but you actually

have to change

them yourself.

I'll make it

to the moon,

if I have to

crawl.

Everyone has so

much to say, they

talk, talk, talk

their life away.

Queen of hearts

found a black king

by shuffling through

all the jokers.

Cause I'm a ride or die

whether you fail or fly.

It's all about

being in the

right mind set.

let me straddle

your mind.

I don't want someone

who promises me the

moon and stars.

I want someone

who promises

to lay on the

grass and

watch them

with me.

We are never

cheated out

of the opportunities

we are truly

supposed to have

if it didn't work,

it is for a reason.

You can't always get

what you want

but if you try

sometimes, you

might find you

get what you need.

I was born bad,

but then i met you.

There is a time

and place for

everything

and everyone

only thing more

beautiful than the

woman that knows

what she wants,

is the woman

who isn't waiting

around for anyone

else to get it for her.

It's the rule of life

that everything

you have always

wanted, comes

the very second,

you stop looking

for it.

abso-fucking-lutely.

a man's ego

is just as fragile

as a woman's heart.

if you do what

you've always done

you'll get what

you've always got.

Don't put your

happiness in other

people's hands.

They will drop it.

They'll drop it

every time.

The bad news

Nothing lasts forever.

The good news

Nothing lasts forever.

The best kind of people

are the ones that come

into your life, and make

you see the sun where

you once saw clouds.

If you could love

the wrong person

that much

imagine how much

you could love

the right one.

Nothing is sexier

than someone

who wants you

just as much as

you want them.

Lets break the

surface

and make a little

happy mess.

People mess up

something good

by looking for

something better

just to end up with

something worse.

I am simply having fun

becoming the best woman.

someone you haven't

even met yet

is wondering what it

would be like to meet

someone like you.

Better to have loved

and lost

than never

to have loved at all.

Try to say nothing

negative about

anybody

for 3 days

for 45 days

for 3 months

see what happens to your life.

you can be anything

you want in this world,

just don't be

Ungrateful

Tantos enamorados

que no estan juntos

y tantas personas

juntas que no

estan enamoradas.

Cada persona que pasa

por nuestra vida es unica.

Siempre deja un poco de si

y se lleva un poco de nosotros,

Habra los que se llevaran mucho

pero no habrá de los que no nos

dejaran nada. Esta es la prueba

evidente de que dos almas no se

encuentran por casualidad.

Never underestimate

the therapeutic power

of driving and listening

to very loud music.

another girl

bad for your

health.

happiness is not

determined by

whats happening

around you,

but rather whats

happening

inside of you.

it's better to know

and be disappointed

than to never know

and always wonder.

my theory isn't perfect,

but its close.

some people are so poor

all they have is money.

I crave a love so deep

the ocean would be jealous.

life is simple

but we insist

on making it

complicated.

every single thing

that has ever happened

is preparing you

for a moment

that is yet to come.

Remind me to tell you that

I've come to believe in the

beauty, the power of you.

Everybody wants you,

you can have them all

i got what you need.

it's bitter baby

and its very sweet.

I'm on a roller coaster

but I'm on my feet.

Art enables us to find

ourselves and loose

ourselves at the same time.

I'd stop and talk

but I'm already in love.

I'm an ocean

in your bedroom

make you feel warm

make you wanna reassume.

hit me

you can't hurt me

suck my kiss

I got dosed by you

closer than most to you

There are always flowers

for those who want to see them.

Work hard for what you want

because it won't come to you

without a fight.

The goal of art was the

vital expression of self.

If you love life

Life will always

love you.

Eveything will fall into place

Just keep working, keep pushing

keep grinding it out. In due time.

For what it's worth

It's never too late to

be whoever you want to be.

The greatest gift you can

give someone is the space

to be his or herself, without

the threat of you leaving.

Wait for the person who wants

to show you off to the world because

they are so proud of you.

and most of all, wait for the person

who will make you a priority, because

that's where you belong.

Sometimes life doesn't give you

what you want, not because you

don't deserve it, but because you

deserve so much more.
