I smiled doing a little retail therapy on my break I flipped my wrist staring at the diamond bracelet I debated on getting. I have yet to really ball out how I really wanted too; I saw a little wristlet about the size of Morgan's wrist. "Let me get that one too," I said. "My pleasure ma'am" the jeweler smiled. "Thank you" my phone began ringing and I quickly answered it. It was a chill Friday afternoon for me. "Hey boo"

"Where you at boss? Erica and I are looking for you" Salem said. Salem was a childhood friend of mine I reconnected with. I ran into her in Manhattan one day and we became close friends all over like we never fell off. "I'm on break," I said swiping my black card. Yes, a black card that I worked hard to have. I put in that work to get where I'm at. "Damn, we brought lunch to you," she said

 "I'll be there in 15," I said grabbing my bag. "Thank you for your time" I told the jewelers. I then walked over to the Louis Vuitton store to the right of me. I may be going to an album release party and I wanted to look my best. "Good afternoon, Ms. Josie"

"Hi" I smiled. I still couldn't believe I was greeted by my name. Maybe I have been in this store a little more than usual but it's only because I'm a celebrity stylist as well. When I won Project Runway I thought my career would take off immediately but it didn't. I worked at David's Bridal for about 3 years while working on my store, then I started getting noticed for my fashion, and dresses and a few celebrities hit me up to style them for there appearances including Lala Milan, Kandi, and Tiny. I also appeared on "Yes to Dress" that was a great experience helping some bridezillas find their perfect dress and I appeared on "Atlanta House Wives" those three shows were starting to get my foot in the door. I just opened my shop two months ago and it was doing alright, I didn't expect people to wipe out my place immediately but it takes time. I just hope it doesn't fail, most businesses fail within their first year... I was comfortable, my savings account was beautiful. Morgan was able to get into a great private school with free tuition because of her talent abilities and academics. We live in a nice condo with a sky view and I'm now riding in a 2018 Audi A5. I hope I'm motivating Morgan. I know life has been so inconsistent for us. I pray she's finally comfortable. "Can I have these in an 8 please? I asked.

"Right away ma'am" these boots were bomb as hell too bad it was June but I'd surely wear these in the fall. I tried them on falling in love with them. "These are so cute; I'll get them," I said. He took them ringing them up for me. "That will be 950.75 ma'am," he said. I looked to the far right seeing a silk men's shirt with the wording LV around it. I thought that would be cute for Frenchie to wear tonight with some white pants. "I'll take that shirt too," I said.
