Wannabe Beauty Blogger, Pt. 3

Looks like I’m on a roll! This is my second post within a month’s span & another addition to the wannabe beauty blogger series. I admit, I’m not entirely sure what direction my blog is going nowadays. Annoying someone to take my #ootd photos in order to return to more fashion oriented posts is still on the to-do list. In the meantime, I’m cleverly categorizing Connect-the-Cloths as a life + style

Wannabe Beauty Blogger, Pt. 2

Cheers to a new year! I know… we’re like… a month in, but I find it comical whenever I scroll past the recycled tweet of “This was a trial month. My year starts February 1st.” Agreed! Ha! It’s not as if I’ve suffered a rough beginning or anything, but the weeks leading up to this year mostly consisted of 10-hour shifts for countless consecutive days, so, I’m just now experiencing “2016”. Surely,…

New York Is My Boyfriend, Pt. 2

“I got to thinking about fate. That crazy concept that we’re not really responsible for the course our lives take, it’s all predestined, written in the stars. Maybe that explains why, if you live in a city, where you can’t even see the stars, your love life tends to feel a little more random. And even if our every man, every kiss, every heartache, is pre-ordered from some cosmic catalogue, can we…

New York Is My Boyfriend, Pt. 1

“The Island Of Manhattan is a cozy village populated by more than seven million fascinating individuals who all behave like they own the sidewalk. But, lately, it seemed as if the entire city had been magically reduced to only two people… us. Four-hour conversations flew by in the space of fifteen minutes, & a few days apart felt like weeks. I realized that Einstein’s Law of Relativity would have…

Octoberfest!

“October, crisp, misty, golden October, when the light is sweet and heavy.” — Angela Carter, The Magic Toyshop

There’s nothing like it, the most beautiful month that I miss so, somuch. As you all may very well know, October is my favorite time of year. The month begins with soft breezes & shuffling layers & ends with my birthday & Halloween. Last month was a bit warmer, rainier, & windier, than…

this post stands as a structural collage of my summer. i know, it’s october, why am i still talking about last season?! lol. well, it’s pretty evident that i’m a procrastinator… i mean, perfectionist (sounds so much better… ha!). & the other day, i finally uploaded all of the pictures from my phone, before updating it for the first time in like, a year (i stopped receiving texts—that was the last…

Blogger-versary, Year 2!

September marks the two year Blogger-versay of Connect-the-Cloths! Cheers! Unlike last year, there was no sudden catastrophe that granted me an epiphanyduring a life-changing moment. & I’m not going to detail strict terms I wish to abide by for the upcoming year. I remember how stressed I used to be when it came to my blog. Ha! I was so eager & ready for more. Now, I’m a bit more confident,…

weeks later…miami! lol. i know i’ve been dropping hints of my trip for the past couple of months, & i have just now brought myself to write the post. at first, i was going to rob you of my words, simply including only the first three along with visuals. yet, as each day passes, i realize my memories are fading. & although my travels were the least of what i expected, in the future, i may wish to…

More Than Me, Pt. 2

All that I do is a representation of myself: wants, needs, lacks, questions, beliefs. Yes, there have been opportunities I’ve had the privilege of reaping the benefits of due to blogging, but they have been earned & negotiated. & I certainly do not agree to every sponsor, as much as that may cause some of you to cringe. Once I joined blogland, I didn’t want to be like anyone else. When it comes…

More Than Me, Pt. 1

Positivity is key. I’m endlessly reminding myself. Tame Impala’s opening track of their debut album, Lonerism, flows through my consciousness on loop, “Gotta Be Above It (Gotta Be Above It… Gotta Be Above It…)”. The puzzle’s unlocked: it’s all in our heads… Seems simple enough, but the mind is a powerful force. Most days, when the sun’s shining, there is no need for a reminder. That’s the gift of…

#TGIF! & what a day it has been! i originally drafted this post a couple of days ago, unaware of the recent change in history until this morning. i awoke, & did my usual scrolling through my “daily newspapers” aka twitter & instagram(lol), soon realizing the world was a brighter place. the supreme court ruled same-sex couples have a right to marry in EVERY state, yes, every single one! woah! who…

Garden Of My Mind, Pt. 2

If I wasn’t so “high maintenance” with a deadly fear of insects, I may commit to a life more dedicated outdoors. Lately, I’ve been quite satisfied with sitting on the balcony listening to the birds chirping & admiring the greenery with Mac in lap as I attempt to exercise my intellect & be moderately productive.

To be honest, I’m mostly daydreaming. There are plenty of unresolved thoughts…

Garden Of My Mind, Pt. 1

Life’s a wonder. I’m often awed by just how charming this town can be, especially when so much is flourishing around me in my own “backyard”. For a while, I assumed I was in need of an escape, yet I really did not have any place to go with the demands of my everyday life. My day to day was beginning to get a tad routine, & I sought some type of oomph. After the other weekend, I wanted to maintain…

not nearly often enough do i experience consecutive days of non-boredom, yet may has been somewhat of a dream. always serving as a time of renewal and reminiscing—mostly due to the fact that the month stands as my alumni anniversary (this year makes 3!!!)—i made an exerted effort to “put myself out there more” with bucket list in hand.

as you may very well notice, this post deviates from the…

With that being said, I wanted to dig deeper into such social issues, as the injustices Winston printed on his custom merchandise, when I stumbled upon his story, & became ever more inspired.

Icebreaker, Pt. 4

As I shared in “Icebreaker, Pt. 1 & 2”, I often wonder what attracts you here, & I’m ever curious of what we all have in common besides fashion. I’ve realized in creating these blogging spaces each of us tends to fall into a certain persona which our subscribers admire & look forward to. I adore the personality several bloggers hold, yet I often wonder if it’s all for show or do you ever feel…
