blind @ 29's valentine's day gift guide

His & Hers

when it comes to valentine's day gift giving, i get stumped.  is it a "holiday" just for women?  if not, what do you get your beau?  should the gift be expensive?  or just a trinket to show your love and appreciation?  these are the questions that pop into my mind... maybe i'm over thinking it, as per usual :/  ugh.

but never the less, i came up with the perfect gift guide for your beau and your boo :)  i chose high and low end items [whatever floats your boat], and a set of special chocolate bars from a local chocolatier that are infused with aphrodisiac spices [;)].

and if all else fails, you can NEVER go wrong with dimming the lights and throwin on some marvin gaye, particularly "i want you" $1.29.

iconic vanity

Friday, January 25, 2013




i find the darnedest things while surfing the net :)  iconic invanity is a line made of perfectly tailored african fabrics embellished with intricate beading and bold colors.  featured in lagos fashion & design week 2012, creative director Nacy Nwadire, made sure each piece in the SS13 line was perfectly structured to flatter every woman's figure.  i am completely in love with each piece from the collection, especially the maxi dress accentuated with a plunging neckline and a high slit.  iconic invanity is currently only sold in lagos, nigeria.  i cant wait until her pieces are available in the states, until then... which piece do you admire most?

relocating is always difficult, uprooting from a place where you've been settled for so long.  but its also a blessing, change is ALWAYS good.  out with the old in with the new.

in moving back to DC, i've decided i want to change my bedroom aka my sanctuary a little bit.  i've always loved glamour for my bedroom, a soft color palette, dainty accents and tufted everything.  


this time around i think i want to add pops of bright color, vintage accents and bolder accouterments.  




after scouring the net for inspiration, i took to my virtual mood board and began to build my newly revamped sanctuary.  i cant wait for my vision to come to fruition!  i'll keep you guys updated!

happy thanksgiving

Thursday, November 22, 2012

i have so much to be thankful for, i am truly blessed.  three weeks into my 29th year and i am ECSTATIC!!!
new outlook on life.  new career path.  new blog ;).  AND i'm back in dc!  i love all things dc, from the monument to mumbo sauce.  dc, the city I will ALWAYS call home and i always rep the home team.  what better way to show my pride than with my inaugural post.  i will say that when it comes to football, washington is divided, divided between my beloved redskins and "them" bamma a$$ dallas cowboys.  today, thanksgiving day, is the much anticipated game between the two rivals.  my ode to the home team! #HTTR

blind @ 29 is meant to be a creative outlet for me.  indulging in my creativity, joys and... whatever else comes to mind!  i'm walking into this blind, seeing where it goes :D

"i don't do this just for the recognition, i do it for the children." LOL!! a line from a scene, with two of my favorite washingtonian comedians, tommy davidson & martin lawrence.  HILARIOUS! skip to 1:21 mark to get the reference :)
