Single Review: Lauren Carnahan – “Catch 22”
Coming from a small town in Oklahoma, Lauren Carnahan has first dazzled her hometown audience at the age of four when she performed “Tomorrow” (from Annie) at her hometown church. Little girl, who was adopted at birth and had just survived heart surgery, received a standing ovation from the churchgoers. That was the defining moment of what’s soon to become her life’s calling.
Street Style New York City: City Lady for a Day
I don't take photos in the City very often, but when I do, I find it to be such a struggle. People are so over people taking photos on the sidewalks. I totally understand that - you're trying to get to work and then BAM! - an obstacle. But hey, the most important thing is your attitude. Patience and kindness go a long way and you need to have a lot of it when you're determined to take photos in a beautiful concrete jungle that New York City is.

New Artist To Watch: Gutxi Bibang
Who says rock ’n’ roll is dead? If you do, then you haven’t met Gutxi Bibang. He is an unlikely candidate to carry the rock 'n’ roll torch, a second-generation African from the Basque region of northern Spain. Yet he still has more in common with larger-than-life musical icons like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin, and Peter Tosh than he does with his Basque countrymen. Even his unique moniker speaks of his cultural clash heritage – Gutxi (pronounced “Gu-chee”), a common nickname in his Basque homeland, and Bibang, from his roots in Africa.
Little Black Sweatshirt
LBD (little black dress) is a staple of every wardrobe. However, this post is not about it. No. And it’s all because, an LBS (little black sweatshirt) doesn’t get much love and it’s just as much of a staple if you ask me. When I purchased this sweatshirt, you guessed it – from Mystique, I wasn’t exactly sure what it was. I liked the fact that it’s ripped, but I wasn’t sure if it’s just an oversized sweatshirt or a sweatshirt dress. Therefore, I’ve decided that it can be both.
Current Obsession: These Five Pairs of Ankle Boots
These ankle boots are made for walking, but are bound to turn heads as well. Finding a perfect pair of boots seems to be such a struggle – like choosing a major in college, having to face a good job vs. a good paycheck dilemma or being asked to choose between Beyoncé and Rihanna… So hard, am I right? But fear not – because I got you, girl! The following five pairs of ankle boots have been carefully curated and matched to different personalities so that everyone can find what they're looking for.
The Perfect Blouse
Happy Fri-yay my fellow Stylegazers! I think I’ve finally found the ONE – I’ve finally found the perfect blouse. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with anything flowy, especially the blouses, because I’ll be honest; I’m low key trying to channel Stevie Nicks. But hey – aren’t we all? She’s such an inspiration.
Sporty Look
As you might’ve noticed, I don’t really post that many sporty looks, so I’ve figured that maybe I should switch it up a little… I don’t know… I’m not sure what aligns with my personality better – sporty or romantic? But hey – we can’t always live our lives according to the script, now can we? We kind of limit ourselves.
Take it Easy
Hello my fellow Stylegazers! Happy Friday! This has been a long and exhausting week. Being a one-woman band is definitely not easy, but I have so much passion for what I do that the pros outweigh the cons. Still, every now and then I need to remember to take a breather. I try to take on as much as possible and I really push myself past what’s humanly possible. If you feel me – this is a reminder for you to spoil yourself a little this weekend. Go pamper yourself, take a walk in the nature, meditate, hit the gym, socialize… Do whatever makes you feel alive. And when the next work week starts; just TAKE IT EASY. Slow down, take a moment to breathe, observe...
