happy friday!
peace guys :)
we made it.. it's Friday.
i work from home, but I still make sure to structure my days
so the weekends still matter.
don't you just love that rush of energy and anticipation felt on Fridays?
i do!
this morning, the Atlanta Post called me for a phone interview on my new Fall Collection!
it should be out in the next few weeks, and I'll post the interview here.
it will be myself and 3 other jewelry divas -
including the homie Sarenzo Beads!
fiancee is DJ'ing for Camp Lo tomorrow at a dope show in Long Beach;
i'm gonna try to get them and several other folks in some of our new "Luchini" nameplates while i'm backstage.
how perfect was the timing on ALL of this?
i swear when I just shut my brain down and LISTEN to the universe
nothing but good things happen.
and you even learn to see good in bad - a true blessing.
my solar return is in a week... i bought new shoes to celebrate!
i loooove jewel-toned shoes for this Fall -- that way I won't have to give too much thought to my outfits (ULTRA lazy, but ya'll don't have to know that by looking at me)... the shoes and accessories are the always the stars.
some other key items in my closet this Fall:
i come with new jewelry ... :)
*3" solid brass, cowrie optional; studs
*my "tangled history" bracelet is available in silver now, too :)
tomorrow Blackspade has an in store at Fatbeats LA, which I am sooo excited for.
he'll be backed by fiancee on the decks; and I'll have my camera on me at all times -- bitter sweet, as we are saying our last goodbyes to this iconic record store.
after that, we head down to Long Beach for a huge concert paying homage to the rap greats of the 90's.
i hope your weekend will be chock full of goodness.
sending positivity your way today, and always.
xo.

- neutral toned socks (to rock with heels)

- suede booties (i have yet to cop these; budget, budget, budget)
- last years cropped leather jacket

gratitude 9.15
PeaceImages was blessed with 3 amazing blog features over the last 3 days
and I thanked each of them personally...
i feel so motivated
to keep doing
exactly what I have been.
what is that?
never stopping.
just. keep. creating. (through the sleepiness, through the sickness, through the family issues, through friend issues, through fear, through procrastination, and everything in between)
not so secret, eh?
it's a lot harder than it looks.
now it's MY turn to give them all shine:
lotsa folks have been asking me what my last name is lately, for one reason or another.
it's "Peace," folks...
yes. that is my real name. no I am not a "poet" and that is not my "stage name..."
jerks. lol...
one love!

now it's MY turn to give them all shine:
- Coco & Creme (a super fly blog that I have been COMPLETELY missing out on)
- Afrobella rocked my jewelry to NYFW, and blogged, in depth, about her time there
- 21-7 Magazine (another super fly spot that I wasn't up on)

i miss him.
i contemplated posting "hail mary," aka my sh*t
but with each passing year,
the sadder i feel that he is now traveling through the cosmos.
this record felt more aligned with my somber mood.

manifest...
i tried for months to make this happen.. and it finally did.
yay for the following:
persistence
preparation
timing
spiritual + mental focus
i wanted these funky philosophies to serve as reminders for yourself, and for others.
uplifting phrases-
reminders of why you hustle everyday, even when you want to quit--
lightweight, 3"
on silver, or gold; UNISEX
available now.
in a few weeks i'll have more choices related to natural hair, Africa, Kemetology, etc.
I couldn't be in NY for Fashion Week this year... and I must say, this is the first year I've actually WANTED to go.
The next best thing to not actually being there? My jewels being there instead!!
The always beautiful Afrobella rocked a few of my "peaces" in the Big Apple this past week, and I couldn't be happier about it. I'm glad my jewelry was able to go and lay the groundwork for my inevitable arrival.
*Afrobella rockin' the temporarily sold out "Redefinition" necklace.
They better watch out!
so aaaah...
enjoy your weekend.
the VMA's are here in town.
this oughta be interesting.

serendipity
yesterday was an amazing day of lessons.
lessons on how you can attract things to you that are vibrating on the same level.
i'll talk more about this when I'm feeling lecture-y,
which I ain't.
i have a 12 noon deadline, and tons of orders to finalize.
i was invited to the bday party of someone I've been wanting to build with for over 2 years.
her bday is the day after mine. Libra love!
Luna Angel, I can't wait to meet you.... click the link, listen to her music. She is extremely focused and talented.
THEN... soon after I received that invite, I was invited to have drinks tonite with 2 amazing Black bloggers - InnyVinny, who's popularity increases daily, and Krissy from Addicted to All Things Pretty.
I'm pretty excited to meet them tonight, in DTLA... I'll post some pics tomorrow.
So many amazing opportunities in my midst, and I am thankful! No matter how much I fight it, L.A. is just where I am supposed to be...
what? of COURSE I listed new "peaces" yesterday....
Hope your week starts of right.. we are entering a new moon phase.. that means you are starting with a clean slate.. what are you intentions? what do you want to see happen? Map out a clear path in your soul, and follow it - unapologetically. Do you have people around you that you dislike? They may be a mirror.. don't dismiss them.. Or perhaps it is time for that relationship to end. Only you know the answer. Meditate, and proceed accordingly.
Give thanks.
