Another Year, Another Beginning

Finally all sides of the earth crossed in me.
Nature and Time were worthwhile: centuries and centuries
looking forward to this result one day
and to this day I've always been future.

"Compass," José Sobral de Almada Negreiros 

Happy birthday to me and Portuguese poet Almada Negreiros, my kindred spirit from another life.

Em mim se cruzaram finalmente todos os lados da terra.
A Natureza e o Tempo me valeram: séculos e séculos
ansiosos por este resultado um dia
e até hoje fui sempre futuro.

"Rosa dos Ventos," José Sobral de Almada Negreiros 

Feliz aniversário para mim e pro poeta português Almada Negreiros, minha alma gêmea de uma outra vida.

So first of all, how lucky am I? One of the most talented photographers I know, Mioara Dragan (who also happens to be an awesome gurlfriend!), offered to do a shoot for StyleMile! 

Because let’s be honest, I was in dire need of some outfit posts. I know I’ve said this before, but it seems every time I feel SO busy for words, it only tends to get worse. Between time spent at work (hello, 70-hour weeks), at the gym, and trying to squeeze in a second to spend with the man, hey, a girl can’t juggle it all.

Well, enough of that! Guess what, guys? StyleMile turned 1 this month, and I turned 24 on Sunday! And I had a beyond wonderful birthday - I am so blessed to have such amazing friends and family. This whole weekend wouldn’t have been the same without them. So I thank you!

I wore this absolutely FABULOUS dress to my birthday party! It is so classy and gorgeous, I kind of felt like Catherine ZJ in Chicago. Ha!

Well, right now I’m on my way to sunny Los Angeles with my lover Sarah Billsfor a week - I will be shooting a commercial for Chrysler there, and I can’t wait! Hard work does pay off, and hell, if sticking my toes in the sand isn’t an awesome reward, I don’t know what is!
