12.30.11 // Shedding the (Snake)skin.

Shedding your skin and reflecting on the scales left behind can be a painful and complex reality. According to ancient Chinese zodiac signs, I am ironically the month of the Serpent. Some qualities of the Serpent are unmistakably characteristics I hold: Snakes seek the peace they need in order to thrive. They are also materialistic but analytical alike. Hmmm... Has anyone seen similarities in their signs? As the new year is upon us, I would like to make resolutions that impact my life and those around me for the better but I am not yet certain what the details are. Deep thought seems to be in my future...

  8. I was just talking to my client the other day about these blouses (with the ties) and how it takes a specific girl to pull them off beautifully, you're THAT girl. This blouse looks so great on you and I love the relation between your sign and the snakeskin.

    HAPPY NEW YEARS

  11. Here is me...

    "Fire Snakes are more extroverted, forever offering opinions and telling others what’s on their minds. Even so, others enjoy listening to Fire Snakes. They’re very persuasive and are especially good at convincing others that their ways are best."
