Hi Friends; I'm so excited writing this post for a number of reasons. First of all, my vacation starts today and I do not go back to work until five days into the new year...:-). Secondly, I get to relax and spend time with my family and then Christmas is just a few days away. I had a somewhat busy day today as I had to do some chores. I picked up the kids from school this afternoon and took them to the dentist for their cleaning/hygiene appointment then we went to Chuck E Cheese afterwards and had lunch and played games. The Chuck E Cheese in my neighborhood has very good food and we love to go there now and then. We had pepperoni pizza, fries and buffalo wings with delicious vanilla ice-cream for dessert; yum!...:-).

This simple outfit; an old Victorias secret sweater dress is what I wore. I love to wear sweater dresses in the winter and this particular one has been in heavy rotation and repeat mode over the years. You can see previous feature here, here, here. The weather was in the upper twenties and not too cold but I'm tired of all the cloudy days we have been having over here. We need some sun please..
Hey guys, guess who featured on the blog again today? Meet my peeps...

My oldest one Zoe (7)

My second one Zoza (5)

My little ones Ziva and Zion (3 and 11 months)

Zoza and Ziva (the ladies in the house...:-))

Zoe, Zoza, Ziva and Zion.

My little one turns one on Christmas day and I'm planning to have a party for him. I know I have said this so many times on the blog already...:-). I'm just so excited guys; don't blame me. God has really been good to me. I hope you are all planning to spend the Christmas with friends and family. Are you willing to share your plans for the Christmas with me? Check out the ongoing Giveaway on the blog; only a few hours left and Giveaway will close at midnight today.

Camo prints can go with just about any outfit; skirt, pants or a dress just as you can see in the outfit collages above and it's a fun way to add prints to any ensemble. Which of these collages do you like best? My favorite is the camo pumps with denim look. Have a great weekend friends and talk to you soon...:-).

Hi, friends, I've not been able to post any outfit post but I could not resist putting up a post about my recent shoe crave/love. Camouflage prints or military inspired pieces have been trending for sometime now and they can look really chic if done right. Although I'm not so much of a trend follower because I pick and choose what works for me, I must say I like this trend. Instead of doing a camo pants or vest however, I'll rather give a nod to this trend by using accessories like shoes or handbag. I also do not have to break the bank by following trends that I like and I was able to find an affordable pair pictured above. One more way to show that a mummy of four kids can still look glamorous and trendy or that fashion and faith can be a good mix; definitely a win! win!! in my book.

Candy Cane

Hi Friends, what do you do on a rainy, cloudy and gloomy day? You got it! You snuggle under the blankets with a hot cup of cocoa and a warm cozy blanket and you blog! Yes, you heard me right...:-). A laptop with a hot cup of cocoa on a rainy day is all you need to keep your blogging creativity going. Another alternative would be to wear a cute pair of rainboots and splash around in the rain puddle with the kids or thirdly; just do nothing.

Well, it was a rainy day in the twin cities today and I decided to go with "option one" for a rainy day. Yes, I decided to blog. This outfit is what I wore a few days ago when the weather was all nice and warm. I had thought of sharing it on the blog at the end of the week but changed my mind last minute. Besides, I have a couple other outfits I'm yet to post on the blog; I went for my friend's wedding anniversary dinner last weekend and I also went out with my friends a few days ago for some dinning and would like to share the outfit that I wore to these events sometime.

                                                                            Sweater: Old
                                                                            Bag: Express
                                                                            Pants and Scarf: Loft
                                                                            Shoes: Christian louboutins
                                                                            Trench coat: old
                                                                            Earings: gifted
                         

The sweater I'm wearing in this post is what I wore here. I decided to use my colorful loft scarf to make a snood to conceal the turtle neck thereby creating a different look. The purse is a recent purchase from Express and I really like the blush color. I'm thinking of getting the black color too. The design does imitate channel and it is a pretty and cheap imitation. The combination of red and white in this outfit does remind me of "candy cane." What do you think? I'll be back again tomorrow for another outfit post. Have a wonderful week.

This pic is funny; seems like my hands are way bigger than my feet...:-)

To say the truth, it's really funny how fashion keeps evolving and recycling (can I use that word?) these days. Years ago, you'll never catch me wearing a long coat as this. I actually got gifted a few by my mum and a couple of older friends some years back and I donated them all. I thought they were too heavy and looked old fashioned. If I had known they were going to be trending in 2014, I probably would have saved them all; it would have saved me a couple of bucks....:-). 'just kidding; I'm actually glad I donated them then because I didn't really want them at the time.

Well, this  deep blue long coat is another recent addition to my coat collection and I actually do love the color and the weight also...:-). I can withstand any cold in it but just when I thought I was going to roll out stylishly, the weather did a 90 degrees turn and we're suddenly enjoying somewhat warm temperatures in Minnesota in December! Can you believe it?...:-). Now, the temps is going to be in the thirties and forties all through next week. **eyes rolling.**

Anyway, yours sincerely is not deterred. I'll still wear my coat even if the temps go up to forties so long as I know I can see snow on the ground and the calendar says it is December...:-). I'm looking out for another coat in a pastel color this time that I can use in the spring. For this look, I decided to keep everything black and made the coat the statement piece.

Long Coat: Chadwicks

Pants and top: Loft

Shoes: Victoriassecret

Bag: Jacqueline Ferrar

Jewelry: Gifted.

                                                                   
I hope everyone is doing great? Oh my God, I can't believe the year is really coming to a close so fast; seriously!! I thank God for everything though. There might be plans that were not achieved or projects that were not completed but my Bible tells me that I should give God thanks in everything and that is exactly what I'm doing.

I am yet to complete my christmas shopping and still have a long to-do list and there is also the birthday party I need to organize for my son who turns one this christmas but I'm not going to stress. I'll take one day at a time. I have a Giveaway going on on the blog right now and I'll like you to check it out.


                                                   

I Thessalonians 5: 18

In everything, give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
