ODD BEAUTY

I've been watching alot of films and studying alot of old hollywood stars and I'm truly fascinated by old hollywood glamour.

Lately I've been so emotional and not because of Amy's death...lets put that aside... just personally I've been sad and I don't know why...deep down I feel like I shouldn't be sad because I feel so bl

1. Love who you are...if your over-weight love who you are and if so throughout your life you lose a couple pounds then thats fine too but just be fine with who you are!! 2. Find your style/look and commit to it...no matter how weird it is!

Maybe its the color palette and the models hair! I just love it P.S I'm still on the fence of how I'm presenting this blog! I haven't posted anything really personal on it yet due to the fact that my job has become my life and its not that 'glamourous'....so sorry about that!
