My Growing Love For Vintage

Posted on September 23, 20202min read

Elegance is the only beauty that never fades. —Audrey Hepburn

They say that the five people you surround yourself with is who you become. For me, I choose to not see it that way. Personally, I choose to believe who I surround myself with is who I want to reflect with in life and in business. It’s like how light reflects off of a diamond. When light catches a diamond, the glimmer that bounces off of it is eye-catching. That is what I want with the people I surround myself with in life.

Lately, I’ve learned that who I intentionally keep in my life/follow has truly influenced the way I want to live my life.

My Growing Love for Vintage - She Sweats Diamonds - Chanel Coffret Set “The Three Moods” No.5, No. 22, Bois des Iles (1924)

However, I’ve been trying really hard to not adopt their personal style, their standards of beauty, their home decor tastes, etc. I know that eventually is what happens when you follow someone for awhile. You become more like them unintentionally.

For example, if you guys have been following me awhile, you know that I love black, white, grey, and neutrals. However, just because I love neutrals doesn’t mean I want pampas grass stems and all things off white in my home like everyone seems to have in their homes.

That leads me to today’s discussion. One person has influenced me a lot lately (and in the best way possible) and that’s Audrey Leighton Rogers. Everything I believe when it comes to blogging, this woman just outright calls it out too. And I love that she’s not afraid to share whatever is on her mind. I appreciate that there’s someone out there who is real and has similar perspectives like me.

Another topic Audrey has influenced me on a lot is related to vintage fashion and beauty.

The more I watch her stories and absorb her content, the more I realize that there’s a need to adopt the “out with the new and in with the old” mindset.

And it was reinforced when I went antique shopping a few weekends ago. I was out looking for some home decor and yet the things that caught my eye most were fashion and beauty. What I saw brought me back in time to a different era, a time when women loved to dress up even for the simplest moments. I ended up purchasing this gorgeous Chanel fragrance set to gift to a friend who loves fragrances and perfumes. Oh, how I wish you could smell this photo through your screen because the scent is beautiful and so alive!

To truly take time in putting your outfit together, the thought put into accessorizing, and the final touches of a fragrance before you head out the door — I want to get back to this kind of getting ready, this kind of luxury living.

And considering I’m a huge fan of buying secondhand/consignment shopping, why not start hunting for vintage treasures? Why not look for special pieces in time to add to your closet? I mean, that’s what having a timeless wardrobe is all about, don’t you think?

As time goes on, I cannot wait to expand my search for vintage designer pieces to add to my wardrobe. Shopping vintage is a part of sustainable living, but it doesn’t hurt to have fun by experiencing the thrill of the hunt!

How about you? Do you love vintage things? If so, what do you love most about it?

    I would 100% agree. It’s kind of true that you mirror the people you most around with but still can be you. I adore Audrey a lot for that reason she is just so different and wow. Pure inspiration. When it comes to vintage I’m not really into it yet, but I have a pair of Audreys vintage earrings on my list. Bisou

      Yes, Patricia! Audrey is so different and absolute inspiration to me. I’m not 100% into vintage either, but I do plan on purchasing Audrey’s wrap dress soon, hehe! Thanks for stopping by! X

    What a lovely treasure! I love vintage items because they are often rare, stood the test of time and have a history.

I said it before and I’ll say it again: 

To my grandma who is halfway across the world, I thank God immensely because it all began with you.

Thank you for encouraging your daughter to come to America to live a better life.

Because of your sacrifices, I get to have my most precious gift and cherish her with every fiber of my being. I love you so much.

Mom, thank you for your courage and bravery to come to America with nothing except a knitted handbag and coat on your back.

Thank you for passing on your wisdom and teaching me about emotional intelligence before EQ even became a thing.

Thank you for teaching me that you’re never too old to learn about anything.

Thank you for always reminding me to not stress or worry.

Thank you for always making sure I 
have food even when I’m full.

Thank you for making me laugh endlessly.

And mom, don’t think I don’t notice that you put the best pieces of food on my plate instead of yours.

My word, I am so incredibly and abundantly blessed to have a mom like you! 

I love you SO much, mẹ! God, you broke the mold when You made her!

It’s so surreal that 15 years have gone by since you left us.

And it’s days like today where I want to say something, but can’t because all I want to do is just reflect on the good times. 🕊️

“Is it network marketing? Because if so, I don’t want to join.”

After nearly a decade, I still hear this all time and totally get it. SO many people have been burned directly and indirectly. Myself included.

The inauthenticity, the out-of-nowhere “I think you’d be great at this!” messages, and the incessant the “Join my team!” posts.

I NEVER wanted to be that person because I truly wanted to help people.

But I stayed because I loved having high-performance friends, friends who challenged and supported me…a high-caliber community.

After awhile, I needed a break so I walked away because I didn’t want to get so burned that I’d end up hating the industry because I knew network marketing worked.

Not going to lie, for years, I missed this kind of community so much.

After awhile, I prayed for new friends like the ones I had and a new community.

It went something like this: 

"Lord, please bring me a community of friends who will love, support, and challenge me and I can do the same for them in return. Most importantly, please bring me friends who love You.”

"Can we also do life and have fun together?"

Then two years ago, an opportunity dropped into my lap at a very unexpected time, but I said yes once again.

In between this time, some random person messaged me. She spoke down to me saying I wouldn’t make it and told me she gave me four years tops. 

WOWWW…

Well, random person, I’m at the halfway mark because Jesus answered my prayers AND exceeded my expectations:

✨I have rekindled old friendships.
✨I have brand new friends. Love y’all!
✨I don’t have to recruit, get personal mentorship on a weekly basis and not once have been made to feel dumb for asking questions.
✨I have reached more people doing business online.
✨I have made more money now than I did at my previous companies combined and do it all through social media and my blog.

Oh, and random stranger, so far, if you swipe left, my life is a lot more colorful. 

AND I’m winning. And I hope you’ll be watching for the next two years because I’ll still be helping more people than you ever will. 🫶🏼

First day of spring!

Whenever I see new blooms or take photos of flowers like this one, I always think of Isaiah 43:18-19: “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”

God is SO good!

Have you ever noticed the best things in life come in VERY unexpected ways?

For example, nearly two decades ago, I came to know Jesus Christ through cotton ball paper sheep.

And two years ago today, I hesitantly said yes to another business opportunity…in the form of a spoon.

My friend and mentor, Rachel Kennedy once said something that I’ll never forget. She said that you can pray and ask God for help, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be in the form you expect it to be. It could be a podcast, book, etc.

As I celebrate my two year anniversary, I challenge you to being open to various ways help can show up for you! I know I will!
