What Sassou wore: Cream colors

I got a lot of compliments for this outfit! There is actually nothing new, except for my wife beater.

-Wedges: Aldo

-Skirt: 25 year old vintage skirt from God knows where

-Wife beater: Le Garage. They have great, affordable, long-lasting wife beaters. I bought it with the 25$ gift card I got in the gift bag at the opening of the Garage/Dynamite store on Ste-Catherine and Peel.

-Chain: My own, my favorite, my lucky charm and it has no brand. It was a Sweegt 16 gift. 

-Watch: Marc Jacobs

-Hoop earrings: Aldo. 

If you don't count my watch, I think my whole outfit isn't even worth 50$ since I got the wedges on sale. But the style and the elegance of the skirt and ensemble in general...PRICELESS!

30 Day Blogging Challenge. Day 2

DAY 2: SOMETHING YOU FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT

This is a tough one since I feel strongly about a lot of things. However, there is one thing I have discovered the hard way:

Following your passion is the way to happiness. 

For me, it speaks for itself although I keep realizing it during the most random moments (The numbers of Déjà Vus I have are intense). Lord knows I've done a lot of changes in my life when it comes to school and career. From law to finance to marketing to working in retail then telemarketing and now mortgages, I've seen it all. But at the end of the day, I've looked back in at my life and understood that there are three things I absolutely love and that are always a part of my life, no matter how busy I am. 

1. Writing

You must be thinking "Well obviously!!!", but sometimes something is so natural that you don't even realize it is a passion or a talent. When I was a kid, I learned how to read and write at a very young age and I remember just sitting in my room, writing stories. Unlike other kids, I hated drawing and preferred reading and especially writing. This trend followed me throughout my life... And I am not limited to writing stories, I also love writing poetry but it is very personal to me and I rarely share it....I think I shared poems only 3 times in my life: The first time in school during an oral presentation, the second time I recited a poem I wrote on Haitian women as my talent during the Miss Citronnelle Canada pageant and the last time in 2008 on Facebook, when I was going through very rough times. I don't know...I'm shy. Can't share my poetry..yet. Maybe one day I will! 

Check out my book collection and Barbie notebook (where I used to write my stuff).  With my signature high bun :D

8th grade: Won the first prize in my Reading and Writing class at Jean de la Mennais

When it comes to writing in general, I love it with all of my heart. It is the most healing thing for me, it is also

Sass will be on TV

This week has been a HORRIBLE week in news (I will not get into details. You guys KNOW what happened in Miami, Maryland and...yes...Montreal). However, I have some GOOD NEWS!

I was selected in the top 100 to participate on VTélé's cooking show/competition "Et que ça saute"! It's basically a competition between amateur chefs (yes, I am an amateur and PROUD damnit) with a first prize of 100,000$!!! If the show is like it was last year, I will probably have to prepare ONE EPIC MEAL to be selected in the top 25 and really begin this stressful, fun and interesting competition. 

The show is in French (sorry English loves) and you can see the concept, read about the judges and view last season's episodes here. I'm happy to be in the top 100 and will be working very, very hard to make you guys proud.

YAY!

Okay this is a good one! Since you guys already know my opinions on the single life (and I'm still single), here are 5 ways to win my heart when it comes to "LOVE", among other things.

Look of the week: Teyana Taylor actually looks feminine

Teyana Taylor is very pretty but usually she's such a tomboy. It's nice to see her in a nice, feminine and sexy dress! If you got it, flaunt it!
