It all started with a pair of play heels….

Ever since I was old enough to walk, I loved clothes and fashion. I liked to walk around in my play heels and acting like a fashionista. I even would do Mami and Yaya’s hair so that we could all look good. I had so much fun pretending to be a fashion designer or model.

When I was three, we moved to Japan. There, they had some of the coolest fashions ever. From the vibrant colors to the bold statement pieces. It was amazing! I remember there was a store in Okinawa that had clothes that Mami would buy for me, it was full of bright colors and cool wigs. Some of my favorite days there included going to that store and getting clothes and afterwards go to “Toys R Us” or “Tus Amigos”. The “Toys R Us” was way different there, the had some of the coolest toys ever. The place called “Tus Amigos” had some of the best handpies, they had any pie from cheese to apple! My favorite ones to eat were chocolate and cheese.

When I was 5, I started kindergarten. I kept my fashion on point by wearing anything from swaying skirts to poofy jackets. My kindergarten teacher was Ms.Robin, and let me tell ya, she was the best. Her daughter Rosemary was also super radical! She would bring me donuts from “Dunkin Donuts”, it was a lot of fun being around her. Ooh! I have a funny story, when I was in kindergarten I  had a boyfriend named Devin, he was missing his two front teeth so he had a little lisp. I think he was Dominican, but not the point. So, he asked Papi if he could marry me. He was probably more polite than most guys are today. During nap time, we would scoot close and plan our wedding. Sadly we had to split when I had to move to Oklahoma. 😦

Moving to Oklahoma was probably one of the hardest things for me to do. I loved Japan and it was like a second home to me. I felt really sad for a while, but I quickly found my group of friend, Emily, Jayla, and Hailey. In school I loved to wear my “Bun Balls” to keep some of Japan with me. Despite not having my favorite fashions in Oklahoma, I brought tons of Liv swag to school with my outfits. Though I may not have absolutely loved the area, I met some people there that I will love and remember such as my music teacher Mrs.Tucker, Mrs.Maahs,and Mrs.Dickerson. They made me feel at home and really happy. Oh, and I could never forget Ms.Peggy. She was so generous to me, she would me candy and give me barbie dolls. She was so sweet to me and is on of my favorite people ever. I miss you guys! I had to leave my friends behind and came to the St.Louis area.

Now I live here with some of my closest friends that I have shared many memories with. There are still some things I need to adapt too, but I love it here! I love being able to explore St.Louis and make new memories. I love to sit in my room and sketch fashion and eat the yummy food Mami makes. you should check out her blog here. I’m making this blog to be an outlet for my love of fashion, lifestyle, and doing things I love. Now that you guys know a bit about me, I hope that you are excited to come back for more posts! Love you guys! Bye!

Oh! I almost forgot! Kudos to Mami for helping me develop my sense of style and making the person I am today. Her style is also on point. Bye for now!
