Designer Christophe Decarnin presented Balmain’s Spring 2011 in Paris today.

Punk never looked so chic.

WISB* The Paloma Necklace

So you all know that my good friend Hassan Pierre really made his mark during MB Fashion Week in New York and has already been praised by editors at VOGUE for months on end. I'm truly proud of what he has managed to accomplish and wanted to share that with you. He designs all organic clothing clothing line that now features custom made jewelry that he is beginning to dabble in. He has created The Paloma Necklace that is made out of all organic silk chiffon with vintage hardware and a signature key piece that ties into the material. We all know that I never wear jewelry and my signature piece is a scarf. The Paloma necklace is officially my favorite piece of jewelry for obvious reasons!


A lot of you have been in love with the necklace and have been asking me if he has started selling it yet. Well my LOVES it's officially on sale for $165 on his website at WISB* HOWEVER you know my way with words and belief in a product that I am in love with; I have managed to talk him into offering a special price of $100! Call it a family and AMAZING friends discount! Hassan will custom make The Paloma Necklace for you in either black, tan, or white chiffon.

Truly a must have! Let me know if interested! @MkRelations

The Past. you were never mine...

"If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was."

We do not possess anything in this world, least of all other people or our past once it's gone. We only imagine that we do. Our friends, our lovers, our spouses, even one day with our children who are not ours; they all belong only to themselves. Moments in time are only memories with the good and bad that can never be repeated. Possessive and controlling friendships and relationships can be as harmful as neglect. They leave a lasting impression and help us realize who we need to surround ourselves with in the future to come. Restraining ourselves from hurting one another is a constant battle that we'll lose every day. We are who we are. It's a matter of finding the right match that won't damage us entirely. I have countless memories of scenarios both active and reactive with loved ones. I am sorry for only the ill feelings that were caused.

I have been told to be hurtful and insensitive to other people's feelings and have experienced that pain. I am sorry for that. I have made terrible mistakes and caused bad lasting impressions on others and have experienced all in the same. I am sorry for that. I have personally become weak to the knees at points in time with the struggle to eliminate people in my life that aren't positive and I have watched my friends struggle with me. I am sorry for that. I have feared, loved, and moved on to a better place in my life; leaving bad memories behind. I am not sorry for that.
I am sorry that I can't take you with me. The past. Sorry that that you are no where near welcome near my future.

"The Past; I have loved you, set you free. And know you won't come back. You were never mine."

LOVE yourself only and if someone is interested let them LOVE YOU.

Please note that I respect my friend's privacy and would like to keep all names anonymous...
I could only imagine. I have been through countless "miscommunication" moments with various guys and STILL continue to go through them. If miscommunication falls on my lap where I'm fully ignored; I dont let it bother me anymore. When it comes to men I try to differ from being too attached and expecting the "could HE BE THE ONE" feeling. I dont believe there is anything wrong with it either. If someone is interested they will do whatever it takes to get a hold of you. Intrigue and lust are huge factors when it comes to meeting someone new. The key to keeping it going is the difficult part and I unfortunately have no answer for you. I personally do not make any outreach to anyone because I simply cannot afford to be denied EVER. I'm a brat. Simple as that!

As we travel through this world fully independant on ourselves; we long for love and the feeling of being wanted by someone else. You can't beg or plead with anyone to give you more than 5 minutes of their time, lead alone with a commitment. Two people truly need to be in the right place at the right time. Cupid will see that and strike you so damn hard. I'm staying away from THAT GUY, as he's striked me with too many mishaps!

Let's be realistic. No matter how hard Disney tried to help us believe in a fairy tale relationship; we will NEVER live happily ever after with anyone. We don't live in a cookie cutter society; especially in an industry that is infultrated with sex, lust, and vices that cause us to forget about reality. I don't know what's considered ideal now at days; cheating or a HUGE EGO! We have to live with the idea of loving ourselves and appreciating the good in people in the moment. Dont expect anymore from anyone than you would expect of yourself.

LOVE. Yourself. Only....and if someone is interested...Let. Them. LOVE. You!
