Happy New Year!!..:)

Happy new year everyone...yeah, everyone in blogs ville..:) 2012 was an amazing year and I know 2013 would even be greater. I had a wonderful holiday celebration with my family and friends and  New year eve was so much fun; we started the evening by watching the movie "The passion of the Christ" all over again and then we had a big dinner and an hour into the new year we started to worship and pray and it was awesome entering the new year with such gratitude and praise to God for his grace and protection.

This maxi dress and a white jacket is what I wore to church yesterday and as you can see, I am still very much in love with my whites and my summer maxi dresses. This banana republic white jacket is surely undergoing some heavy rotation in my closet. This grey and black maxi dress was purchased from Metro style on line and I remember the first time I wore it about eight months ago; the weather was nice and beautiful; a cool spring day. You can check out the post here.

Now the weather is all cold and gloomy and I am really starting to look forward to Spring. It's not easy taking pictures out doors these days because of the cloudy weather and I'm thinking I might just retire from blogging temporarily and do some other things...:) Easier said than done **hehehe**...:)

I am loving my Quipid heels for this weather. They are very durable and easy to maintain. I just wipe of any slushy snow with a damp cloth and store it till the next use. Along with my white jacket, they are my must-haves for this winter. I am very careful when I walk with them though. Six-inch heels are not recommended for walking in the snow.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I wish you a wonderful 2013 filled with warmth and God's blessings

Blogging 101..

Yeah, so glad that 2012 is finally over and looking forward to 2013 with joy and faith that all things would work for my good. I started blogging in March and it has been a very unique and exciting experience. Almost all the pictures here were taken by me by an old camera on a tripod stand and I tell you that I am the least technical person with not much knowledge on how to use an advanced camera or on how to edit pictures plus I am a busy mom but the entire experience of writing and editing blog posts has been very fun and therapeutic for me.

Indeed this has been a learning year for me and I really learnt a lot in every aspect of my life; spiritually, physically, academically, emotionally..just name it! I grew all rounded. I decided to pick three out of each months post in random order and I am particularly glad that the aim for which this blog was set up was met in the long run; now I have a very colorful closet and I'm glad to say that I'm happier too with my closet.

I'm using this opportunity to say thanks to all who stopped by my blog and left comments to let me know they stopped by. I wish you all the best in the new year and always. **Kisses**

Merry Christmas

Hi All, I am just signing in to wish you a merry Christmas. I pray you have a wonderful time with your family and close friends. Here, I am wearing a green color chiffon dress in line with the Christmas spirit and some neutral heels. I thought of wearing some red color shoes initially then decided to go with these nude heels. I was busy making sure everything looks nice on my Christmas tree when these pics were being taken.

The kids have been longing to know what kind of presents they got and they just keep asking questions on and on...hubby and I always tell our kids that Christmas gifts are from Dad and Mom because God provided for them. We do not believe in deceiving kids with all that Santa lie!

One of my friends dropped by last night with all these amazing balloon creation for the kids and these little penguins are my favorites. Some people are so creative! The kids were very very excited to get them and they popped a few of them already.

                          Thanks so much for reading and have a succesful and productive week.

Green, silver and black

I am back today to feature my Sunday outfit which just screams Christmas!!!! This is the most wonderful time of the year and it's even more amazing that we are having a white Christmas; beautiful white snow glistening in the sun. It's cold alright but nice all the same. I do not think I can have Christmas any other way. It just has to be white...:)

The colors in my outfit are black, grey (silver) and green and while the silver somewhat represents the glistening snow, my thrifted green suede jacket just sings Christmas; yes, it sings Christmas..:) **Oh the weather outside is frightful,
but the fire is so delightful
and since we've no place to go
Let it snow! let it snow!! let it snow!!!**

That was the song going through my head as I took these pictures; not necessarily a Christmas carol though...:)

Green suede blazer, silver brooch and silver color totes are thrift finds..

ouch!! where is the other leg...:)

There it is...:) like I said earlier in a previous post, I like to convert my summer dresses to winter gear. The dress in this post is a halter neck dress which I quickly threw a jacket over and with all the right warming undergarments, I was ready to go to church.

Church was fun today as usual and as we all gather together to celebrate Christmas, let's not forget that Christ's birth and death brought us all redemption. All we have to do is to get closer to God by giving him worship through songs and prayers and acknowledging that his son Jesus Christ died to redeem us from our sins. Have a wonderful Christmas everyone.
