Libra: The Reins

by Jamila Pierre


September 23rd - October 22nd.

Symbol: The Scales of Justice

Element: Air

Ruling Planet: Venus -- The planet of beauty and love

Body Part: Lower back, butt

Secret Wish: To love and be loved in return.

Libras love to be surrounded by art, culture and beauty in a soft, harmonious environment. You love good food and expensive things. Lovely Libra knows how to charm but behind your dimples and sweet personality, you're a fighter. 

Libra is the sign of the scales, and you can't stand anything that's unfair or unbalanced. 

You'll stand up for justice, and you'll do it with style.

"The Libra is all about balance and knows how to mix and match fashion styles to work in her favor. Whether she is wearing a short mini skirt with high stilettos, or she’s wearing an elegant cotton pant suit, she will still look fashionable and stylish.

A typical outfit for a Libra is usually a nice silk blouse adorned with a floral pattern, and a pair of comfortable dark colored trousers. However, it’s not uncommon for a Libra to wear different types of dresses. She has a dress for every occasion. She has the long and sleek dress, the short and flirty dress, and the comfortable “every day” dress."

Chambray, Shaken not Stirred.

by Jamila Pierre


For the past few months I have been pretty damn ill. The symptoms I was and still am experiencing, matched that of a an ailment called Spontaneous Intercranial Hypotension, spot on. It had me out of commission for two months and the experience has made me appreciate the little things just a little bit more, being in that much pain, to which I would never wish upon anyone, will do that to you.

It's amazing all of the things we take advantage of as a "normal" functioning human being.  The smallest of tasks like using the bathroom, eating food, or even adjusting your position in bed....were the hardest and most painful thing/s I had ever experienced. 

The thing that killed me was my inability to do some of the things I loved most, like wear things from what I deem a fabulous wardrobe, tend to my blog, not being able to partake in my photography, being intimate with my husband, etc...)

I was, aside from the occasional doctor visits, a prisoner of my sofa and bed. 

So, at the first sign of relief, how ever small the relief may have been, I jumped on that Mutha Sucka and took my ass outside to enjoy a moment as small as the sun kissing my face. 

This is what I wore on my outing, my husband kept hitting on me while we ran errand and it was the closest I felt to "normal" in such a long time.
