Sequin Top: J Crew Towards the end of summer on August 13, 2014 I pulled out my computer and made a bold decision: "I'm going to run a fashion blog."
Since that moment, I have connected with many marvelous people from all around the world, and have had countless amazing opportunities. I've had to make conscientious business decisions, major social media blasts, and of course be sure there is plenty of new content with photo shoot after photo shoot. I've also had the privilege of participating in a multiple worldwide blog collaborations, making some strong friendships, and even working with and writing music for YouTube musician Ryan McQuade. There's a lot still to be done here at Palm Trees and Taxis. I'm in the process now of getting a unique, one of a kind logo and soon upgrading to have my own domain! I'm still learning new things everyday about this blog and myself, so be on the look out for more fabulous adventures in this coming year, I always have surprises planned. Cheers, Claire This typically isn't the type of post I do here on Palm Trees and Taxis. I recently was nominated for this challenge on Twitter and at first, I was annoyed-I'm not a fan of "tag" challenges-but I decided this is actually one of the better challenges and realized what a message is behind it all. The idea is to list 13 things you like about yourself and then tag others to do it when your done. Sounds pretty simple right? Not. But this is why I liked the challenge so much. These days, women cannot get away with anything without getting ridiculed. Do you like Starbucks? You're stereotypical and basic. Do you like wearing makeup? You're fake. Do you like reality TV like KUWTK? You're an airhead. Do you like vintage things and coffee houses? You're a try-hard hipster. What about art as a profession? You're immature and unrealistic. BUT WHY?! I don't consider myself a feminist just for the pure fact that the image of a feminist is so drastically distorted, but I think that we as women need to stand firm in our passions. Because honestly who could give a fuck about someone else's opinion about YOUR life. No one said you had to like the same things as them so why would you suppress what you like to appease them? That's not fair. If you're a curvy girl who likes to wear red lipstick everyday and wants to be a music producer, then DO IT. I won't stop you. If you read this post I encourage you to pass it on or at least think about the 13 things you love about yourself, here's mine: I love...
1. how I created Palm Trees and Taxis and have kept up with it for almost a year now 2. my ambition 3. being 5' 8" 4. my taste in music 5. my laugh 6. having Christmas lights up in my room all year long 7. wearing fake eyelashes 8. the scar on my upper lip 9. my blue eyes 10. the crazy amount of clothes I own 11. my craving for adventure 12. my childhood 13. my name shoes: Report | skirt: ecote | crop top: Wet Seal | bracelets: Alex & Ani I used to be skeptical about gladiator sandals, crop tops, and this double high slit skirt. That is, until I pulled them all together and felt like a powerful woman. Clothing can give you an amazing amount of confidence and satisfaction with your body. It's important to know that what you wear is supposed to make you feel beautiful on the outside as well as on the inside.
Be a gladiator, x Claire |
