How Hard do you want it...Sophie's Edition

It's been stated in the beginning of this blog on the About Me section that I was transitioning from the Sunshine State Florida to my tropical Home, Haiti in Port-Au-Prince. This 30th of past September marked a year since I moved back and from my time frame here it's been one ride full of transitions to say the least. For the year that I've been back, I never thought that I would get culture shock since I had a good case of in 2004 as a Freshman in High School and because I was in Port-Au-Prince for the summer in 2011 but little did I know I had it. I grew to realize that vacationing in a place and living in that same place are two different things,so it's only normal that I experienced these slight changes after all.

Among these changes came the decision of continuing my education here in Haiti while I am working. I had to get rid of the stigmata of being reserved and shy to market myself and integrate into communities and networking as well. Little by little I have no choice but to work on outgrowing my shyness.Besides being a little off from inspiration and out of electricity sometimes,these past few months I spent a lot of my time getting ready for admissions exams to get in a good University. The good news is that I got in and already have lots of work to do, researches on top of researches.


One thing that I like about my schedule is that I have a good time to study after each classes rather than trying to squeeze time to study for all my classes. Speech is among the principal outlet in most of my classes a way for us to break from our comfort zone so there is no way to escape exposing yourself and be a little vulnerable in front of million little eyes.  (Ok I am exaggerating)

Haiti may go through a lot of difficult times but some of us in Universities are giving our all and our best.

Yellow Uptown, Blue Downton

I didn't think much of this white button down long sleeve shirt when it was hanging in my closet because I barely wear white. But since I was in a hurry this morning in my last minutes I decided to take my chance on the crisp clean white button down shirt that was hanging in my closet.
My chances went further when it  fit like a glove when I paired it with skinny jeans. As for accessories I combine the pale palette of the outfit with a light yellow scarf fabric and throw in a mini pink shoulder bag. At the end of I was pleased with the results and I decided that I could use more of white pieces of clothing in my closet. Shopping your closet does work a lot of wonder after all.

Guilty of stripes

I promise that I wouldn't do such a blog post about the lack of posting but it is right in my mind so I think I am off to a good start. I've noticed that I miss the overload craft of my post and lately I feel as if I am losing my balance with blogging.  
To sum more of my thought I feel as If I am slowly turning into an observer rather than taking part in social networking. Could I be losing interest too? *gasp* Goodness gracious how I hope not but I did take a step down from the second life I created on the internet. The reasons why I did so was due to my lack of communication with people face to face. I was losing my ability to have plain conversations with strangers, friends or family since my head is always behind a screen or down typing on my phone.
And so I decided to re-evaluate my life around all of my favorite social networkings and I found it to be simple : Live my life outside of them, I want to be so busy with my life that I hardly have time to update what I am doing. I no longer want to feel like I am living my life through a screen. I want to fulfill my life by accomplishing my dreams and inspiring others to do the same while I keep balancing my passion for blogging as well. Like people say I just want to live my life to the fullest by fullest I mean do all of the things that I've been dreaming of doing. Actually living them rather than looking at them as dreams.

Here's to good balance and discipline in my life

Pearls necklace and Gladiator sandals

There are few things that bugs me with my relationships. What I mean by relationship I am speaking of the role that I play in friendship. To be more precise I am referring to the term of platonic friendship with the guys. Some people say that it's impossible for guys and girls to be just friends. Some of us argue that this kind of relationship is impossible because it leads to the two people being attracted to each other. I know there are girls who have defended this cause because they feel understood in their relationship with guys because there's no drama, no backstabbing and no bickering. I  I am not going to deny that some female friendship can be messy with competitions involves but guys also have their mess, they just get away with it better than girls. With drama put aside, when in good company I believe that it is necessary to have friendship with both genders. How do you get through though times such as "boyfriends problems, husband, wedding showers, baby showers" without your girls? and how do you through relax time without the straight forward witty answer from the guys? I do think it's possible for friendship to establish as long there's boundaries. I didn't believe it at first but boundaries is necessaries between friendships. With all that talk there's something that I am starting to dislike between my relationships with the guys and myself. It goes like this:


The random strangers becomes friends. In fact they become close friends that a wonderful friendship starts to bloom. After awhile it may happens that one of the two catches feelings and transit it to the other friend and so they slowly walk towards the more than friends phase. After the exciting yet so overwhelming more than friends phase gets in act, if it was awakens too soon or it was simply not meant to be the friendship dies on the side. What is left is a road now broken with useless promises and unfortunately sometimes neither part stays friends because of bitterness and these two friends become strangers again.

It's much understood why people are afraid to lose their best friend from the opposite sex when they catch feelings for them. They do not want to ruin their friendship and so you live and you learn.

Finalement 21 ans

It's been awhile since I've done an outfit posts but the occasion was chosen well since Sat dec 3rd I turned 21. Is this the time where I become witty when people start asking my age and I tell them "well a young lady never tell her age?" or should I just now refer myself as an 'Twenty year old something' either way I am thankful for the person that I have become. I am definitely a work in progress, stubborn but I am definitely a work in progress.



I love to think that being a 20 year old was a great year. This is once again the time where I reflect about the last 12 months and tell you that "i've learned so much about myself" but this time I think I've learn so much about my surrounding...and fine I've learn things about myself as well.
Here is the list...please feel free to add more :)
I am hilarious when I choose to be.
I tend to take it as my weakness that I love hard but remembering Christ on the cross I can't help but remembering to stay strong though it's not easy.
I no longer look at the guys who approach me as a threat and I am a better girl for that.
I learned the hard way that communication is a must. In the words of John Mayer, please say what you need to say.
The fact that I have earned my Associates Degree shows me that hard work pays off.
I no longer feel silly for telling someone who is close how I feel about them.
Every mistake is a lesson learn.
I am the leader of my heart.

In the words of my mom "Je cherche faire la paix avec tout le monde"
I am learning to make peace with everyone in my surrounding.

Tea Party Dressing

One of the thing that I fear after I let down my guards is allowing someone into my heart again. In contradiction to that, I am certainly not afraid to love, devote myself to love and work continuously like others are afraid to. Like any hopeless romantic out there I like the sound of "being in love" but at the same time I don't want it to be the sole purpose that I welcomed any imposers that may want to steal my heart away for lukewarm reasons. I love to keep in mind that I want to fall beautifully with no control when I am ready.



My Facebook's contacts are sometimes handful. It goes more to the ones who knew me before at my tender age in Haiti. Once they get in touch with me, they never hesitate to flood me with questions about the overall of my life. The questions seems to reveal that my life is so fascinating to them but me Haha. The desire of catching up is mutual as well because in a way I appreciate the fact that they thought of me after my absence. The only downfall and uncomfortable part of catching up is dealing with grown men who knew me as a baby are not having an interest in mind there my privacy settings comes in handy. A good example into this hilarious moments was when an old friend of mine asked me how my husband was doing. At first I thought I read wrong, looked down on my fingers to see whether or not my memory failed me on that one...(I am certainly being sarcastic here). I answered back with a question mark for him to modify that until he told me that someone informed him that I was engaged, going to get married soon. Instead of being mad for that lovely lie spread of me, I just laughed at that and asked that old friend of mine to tell me who told him so. However this old friend decided to change the subject by leaving the person anonymous. Oh! what a turtle!



 The inspiration behind this outfit was mainly because I didn't want to wear any sort of T-shirt and jeans for the day. I've been dying to wear skirts without worrying of being cold or predators and the need to be feminine that day led me to put this ensemble minutes before I headed to the door. I felt a wave of reassuring confidence in my walk so much that I fear other people may have sense it as well. Thankfully while I walked to my destination, a police officer complimented me and said that I looked very nice. Then upon my arrival home a jogger who happened to cross my path said that I looked beautiful in his thick accent. Well this week has been nothing but compliments in my photography and appearance. All these compliments are being taken with nothing but love :)
