Welcome to my blog :) The name's Brenda Nguyen. I'm a 23yr old fashion enthusiast from Lawrence, MA, here providing full outfit details. You’ll notice everything I wear is simple & affordable. I'm not a fan of brand names or expensive material. I firmly believe you can look and feel like a million bucks without spending anything remotely close. Flyness isn't what you wear it's how you wear it. We're all a work of art in motion. Let's create and elevate.

Mindful[L]

Sometimes I get lost in my thoughts… Our minds are so powerful it can be both a gift and a curse. I can’t stress enough how important it is to free our minds and channel thoughts with positivity, no matter how grim reality can be. How you feel and what you do all starts with your mind. Let those feelings and actions be for the elevation of yourself.

“What you think, you become.” -Buddha

“Tell Me About it, Stud...”

Super late on this post, but this year we went with a simple idea and dressed up as Sandy and Danny from the movie Grease for Halloween. We went to “The Night Show” at The Lounge in Lawrence, MA, owned by a homie of ours, and I must say it was indeed Lit ;) 

P.S. I won best costume! Rewarded with a $250 voucher for East Coast Tattoos Salem!! More on this later...
