Blog- Anniversary

Hi Everyone, it's finally been a year since I created my blog and it has been an amazing journey. The purpose of setting up this blog has been met to a large extent and I'm excited to say that I have a very colorful closet now. I have also picked up styling tips here and there from other bloggers and the interaction has been so much fun.

I am still thinking about what I'll like to do for a giveaway and I'll make that known as soon as I get wind of it. Below are some pictures that I have posted on this blog so far and I know there is a lot more creative energy ready to burst forth!...:)


Enjoy the pictures below and like I always say; I am not a stylist or a professional blogger. I just blog for fun. So, bear with me...:)

Cobalt in the Snow...

 

Hi, all, it's my blog anniversary today and I just want to say that I'm really excited. However, I have not been able to take new pictures because the weather has been gloomy most of the time and I'm somewhat bored of pictures with snowy backgrounds. These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago on my way to church. It was snowing hard and windy at the same and it's the reason why the pictures look very cloudy plus my camera is not too good.

The only color that shines through in the background is my cobalt blue skirt which I purchased from a neighborhood boutique at a ridiculously low price. Since the color of the skirt already pops, I decided to make the other items black and put on a black turtle neck top and a black jacket. The weather was freeezzzing; don't be deceived by the smile. My hands were almost numb by the time I got back in the car. I'm glad I got the pics and though they are not perfect, I thought I'll share them all the same.


Did I mention that 98% of the pictures on my blog are taken by me using the self timer on my camera and a tripod stand? Sometimes I use my car as a tripod too....:) All in the name of leaving my footprints in history and in the cyberworld...lol. My future grand kids would have some fun with this blog; I can tell. And I do not know why I have been musing a lot about the future lately. I guess my blog turning one reminds me that I'm getting old too.

So long...

It was great excitement when the first white light flakes
blew right by my face
The chill increased as the day decreased and the larger the amount, the bigger the flakes
I watched the pretty sight but could not play


Now I am tired and can wait but no more
I long for the longer days and the sun to come on
I wish for the birds to chirp and dance in the trees
I want to smell the fresh new grass again please


I am ready for another beginning
When all the fun keeps increasing
When the children under the sun can play
And the grown ups long for their turn to laze

I got nothing more to say now
I just lay all my thoughts down
So long Old Man Winter
HELLO, Miss Spring


                                                                            **Peace**

I think I must have mentioned a hundred times on this blog (exaggeration...:)) that I love to write and draw and I actually did a lot of it in my younger years. I made comic books with beautiful and colorful illustrations and interesting stories to go with them. I smile whenever I come across some of my unfinished projects lying around somewhere in the house. It was even a great delight when I stumbled on my tools a few weeks ago as I organized my closet; stash of color pencils, erasers and sharpeners that got me excited for a minute.

I know I am too busy these days to sit down to write or draw the way I used to but I'm glad I have got my blog and writing blog posts gives me great pleasure too. I do hope you enjoyed my poetic attribute to the weather. I'm not so great at writing poetry but I do enjoy scribbling them once in a while..

Okay, I have to stop rambling for now and thanks so much for reading...but did you notice my neighbors still got Christmas decor in their yards in the background? It's March and Christmas was like over two months ago if I remember?...:) Well, I hope they'll take them out now that the weather has started to warm up. And I hope the heap of snow on my driveway would start to melt. I'm beginning to dream that I live in Aspen. See you soon. My blog turns one tomorrow...

Grey but not Grey..

Hi beauties; I hope everyone is doing great and still keeping warm. I'm trying to do that while I count the days on my fingers. Hurray to March 1st! The year is at it again.

This grey and white striped top is one of my versatile pieces for the time of the year when it starts to warm up and I just love the way it is loose and still feels fitted at the same time. I paired it with my old black denim pant which I have really abused this winter.:) I'm now on the look out for another pair.

I noticed the clash between my gold-toned bracelet and the hardware on my bag when I was uploading this pictures and I just realized now that I do not own silver toned bracelet. I have to add that to my shopping list.

Although my outfit is in dark tones, it does not reflect my mood. I'm all hyped up and excited and enjoying life in general. When you believe in God and trust him to take care of any situation, this is the attitude you will adopt at all times.

Have a wonderful weekend and like I always say do not forget or neglect to include God in your plans this weekend. **Cheers**

From Polyvore to Myworld

I just love Polyvore and I wonder why I never signed unto it sooner. It's so much fun creating outfits out of the endless items available on the site. Another thing I love doing is putting outfits together and hanging them out on my deck and taking pictures of them; kind of like the fashion/style boards that other people do. I think I would like to get a mannequin later on that I can glam up whenever I want just like they do on the show "What not to wear."

Dress: Burlington
Clutch: Tj Maxx
Shoes: Christian Louboutin Bianca

Pants and Clutch: Target

The outfits in this post are based off of the date outfits I created earlier this month on Polyvore. Clothing pieces are not exactly the same as mine as these are just items from my closet. Check out the post entry here or see the pic below..
