Indigenous 

"For all of us, becoming indigenous to a place means living as if your children's future mattered, to take care of the land as if our lives, both material and spiritual, depended on it." - Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass

My parents immigrated to the United States before I was born, so being an American is part of the fabric of who I am.  When my parents came here it was with the idea that "Living the American Dream" meant having the freedom and opportunity to make a better life for themselves and their children. I am so grateful for them and for this country that I live in. I feel like I get to live that "American Dream" everyday. While our country isn't perfect, each of us have the freedom here to choose to be better and to make this country better each day! God Bless America!

My Cassette Tape Carly Dress is one of my absolute favorites!

CARLY DRESS
"We all want a cute dress that lets us breathe and move easier, so we are excited about the Carly - a swing dress that flatters the best parts of a feminine physique while being flowy and breezy everywhere else. The Carly comes in a wide array of fabrics, prints, and washes and has some amazing features such as a patch pocket, a flattering high-low hemline, and cool open sleeves.If you don’t already own a swing dress, we guarantee that you soon will! We all want a cute dress that lets us breathe and move easier. One that is chic, comfy and as versatile as your taste. Which is why we are excited about the Carly - a swing dress that flatters the best parts of the feminine physique while being flowy and breezy everywhere else.
Today’s modern swing dress is a flowy, comfy dress that still has an A-line shape. But rather than hugging your waist, the “A” shape hugs closer to your chest, with the fabric belling out from there. Because of the higher position of the “waist,” the swing dress has lots of movement potential--it “swings” when you walk! And there’s nothing more beautiful and feminine than a dress that swings and flows about you as you walk, dance, and just lounge."

Ancient Wisdom...

"Let the BEAUTY we love become the GOOD we do."
-Rumi

The teachings and ancient wisdom of Rumi inspire me.
Since this
Statement Piece is from Afghanistan, the birthplace of Rumi, I thought I'd drop some ancient wisdom on you today with one of my favorite fashion accessories. 

For authentic handmade jewelry from around the world shop JewelsOfNomads on ETSY. I love the pieces they have at this store they are amazing statement pieces filled with history and culture

"This necklaces is an ANTIQUE from the Kochi tribes of Afghanistan. It is 60 to 80 years old handmade. The handwork is just stunning and very ethnic tribal. It sits beautifully around the neck. The pictures really do not do them justice. The necklace is put together beautifully with lots of charms hanging from the bottom. The closers is an S hook. Very old necklace worn by Afghan Kochi women." 

The metal they utilized is commonly known as German silver or glit as they call it in Afghanistan and the stones are colorful glass.

Matched with a pair of authentic vintage cuff bracelets from tribal Afghanistan with beautiful details and inlaid with numerous lovely blue stones (could be lapis lazuli but not sure) from SARYOSAL on ETSY. 

These amazing vintage pieces are paired with my classic black Julia, from
Lularoe Ana Aiono Dowden.
