I know how much of a pain it is to go into stores and see holiday-themed aisles months before the holiday even arrives. I heard someone say Easter items were already out? It’s not even February. Putting all this aside, I’m here to overwhelm you with eleven beautiful love-themed wallpapers. You can take it as a reminder or just share the fact that you have someone who you may “l-o-v-e.” Enjoy!

Eh, in case you were wondering why I want that lovely work wardrobe. Here’s something from Bloganistas that I wore on my first day of work!

It has been ages since I’ve been able to customize my desktop. My laptop is currently out of order and I miss changing my wallpaper ever so frequently. I couldn’t help but to notice these outstanding and inspiring vector wallpapers. Vector work is always inspiring and it’s even better when you can use it as your wallpaper. You get a burst of inspiration every time you visit your desktop. I hope these wallpapers inspire you as much as they have inspired me!

I hate to get terribly off-topic but I started my first (well, third) “9-to-5″ corporate job yesterday and I’m excited to add (more) corporate pieces to my wardrobe. I’m pretty sure the last thing you are supposed to be doing while working is sorting out ways that you could possibly spend your money, but I can’t help it! I put together a short list of a few key items that I’m in love with at the moment.  A girl can dream can’t she?

#1.  Gentle Expression Tunic – Forever 21 – $19.80

#2. Merona Clutch Wallet – Target – $12.99

#3. Robust Zipper Trim Shirt – Forever 21 – $19.80

#4. Ablaze Dress – Anthropolgie – $288.00

#5. Merona Black and White Tote – Target – $29.99

#6. In-A-Moment Dress – Anthropologie – $118.00

Happy Monday! I’m very pleased to announce that the beautiful GT of Get Togetha accepted my proposal for an interview. A beautiful and inspirational person herself, GT lets us all know a little about the woman behind the blog. She’s a crackberry addict (like myself) and really enjoys blogging! I admire her greatly for her desire to share her lifestyle inspiration with as many as she can. I can only see good things in the future for GT and Get Togetha. I’m definitely looking forward to her next books as well. I hope you guys enjoy the interview as much as I do. Also, shout-out to my lovely friend, Katrina, who really loves GT as well.

Q: What made you start Get Togetha Blog?
A: At first I just wanted to create a place where women could share their thoughts on life and living. Then it morphed into a decor voice which was sorely lacking by women of color. I love the idea of living your best life and doing you and I wanted to share that common thread with other women.

Q: As a lifestyle blogger, what is your biggest challenge when it comes to blogging?
A: My biggest challenging has been developing patience. Blogging is so instantaneous that it feels natural to want a following overnight. But with blogging it takes time to build an audience; especially when your blog isn’t based on drama/negativity. And not that I have anything against negativity; but I really want people who visit Get Togetha to feel inspired.

Q: Your eBook Blog Your Passion is informative and inspiring. I recommend it to every blogger and those who are thinking of starting their own blog. Do you have any plans to release more eBooks or possibly a print publication?
A: Why thank you! And why yes. I’m birthing the second and third branch of Get Togetha’s e-book series. Creating these lifestyle books have been a dream come true.

Q: Get Togetha often features modern, chic decor. What is your favorite thing about decorating?
A: Being able to truly say that inspired women to participate in my own happiness is my favorite part of decorating.

Q: What made you interested in the world of lifestyle blogging?
A: Writing, communicating and pretty things are truly my passion and I’m a huge proponent of being personally responsible for your life no matter what has been dished to you. I know that anything is possible because I didn’t exactly have the most June Cleaver childhood yet I’ve lived to tell a tale.

Q: What is your favorite item in your home?
A: A Kenneth Wingard Vase and a pair of African chairs that I bought from a Mali vendor on 125th Street.

Q: What is one thing you cannot live without?
A: My Blackberry and my laptop.

Q: If there is only one message you would like your blog to send to your readers, what would it be?
A: To never allow others to become the center of your Universe and to live your life to the fullest. Time waits for no one.
