Hi There...

                                                                           HERE                                                                                 


Hi Friends, I have been super busy with family and work; trying to get the kids transition back into school nicely after the holidays, working hard to lose those extra pounds I gained during the holidays and running things generally behind the scene. I have not done an outfit post for a while now but I was able to get some blog pictures today with the help of my son  since they were home for the Martin Luther King holiday. I took the day off work too so we had a long weekend.

These white pumps here are the recent addition to my shoe closet and actually part of my Christmas gifts. I was so excited to get them because I have wanted white pumps for a while now. I know the cap toe makes them look a bit dated but I think they still look okay. Now, I'm looking forward to spring. I would work on my first outfit post for the year tomorrow and I look forward to your comments on my new look...:-). I only lost a few pounds though so you might not even notice any difference.

I am a bit new on Instagram and I'm still looking for friends and bloggers to follow. You can find me on INSTAGRAM here and when you follow me, I would follow back right away! Let's expand the social network...




                                        Thanks so much for stopping by Friends

Bring in the Bling: J. Crew Mini-haul

Tank top: here
Bow flats: here
Necklace:  J. Crew: sold out

I recently got bit by the sequin bug and I have the christmas and new year holidays to thank for it. We all know that sequins and all things sparkly trend most during the winter holidays but yours truly here decided to extend the bling way into the new year. These sparkly pieces here are some of my recent haul from the J. Crew holiday sale.

I just love the sequin tank top and can't wait to layer it underneath a jacket in the spring and maybe eeemmm..**clears throat,**the summer too? The pretty flats with sequin bows are also going to get very heavy rotation. I'm not so much a fan of flats but I just could not resist this pair. The cobalt blue and crystal necklace which were on sale for about $11.99 rounds up the bling/sequin collection.





                            I hope everyone is doing great and enjoying the new week?

Hi Friends, I am back with a post on my wish list for the winter and since this winter is already midway and all the shopping for this season already done, this wish list more or less is just going to sit and wait for 2015 Santa.



Classic Wool Coat: 

The classic wool coat is a winter staple and it is always good to invest in a good cut and great color. Tan or camel seems to be the color for this winter season but I have always loved a grey color coat and I look forward to having it someday. The only downside is that the color is so bright that any blemish would be easily visible so, dry cleaning costs should be factored into this investment piece.


Graphic Print Coat:

The first time I saw this graphic print coat online, I fell in love with it immediately and I love the idea of wearing prints as an outer wear or a layering piece in the winter time. This coat if it is not sold out would be on the top of the list for Santa next winter...haha!

Blanket Scarf:

Yes, this one has been around for a while now and yours truly did not get one yet but that is okay. Although, I like the trend, it will have to wait also. 

Infinity Scarf:

I currently own a couple of infinity scarfs but a couple more in great colors is always welcome. The great thing about them is that they are so easy to wear. You just throw one on and you are good to go; there is no need to loop or tie it in any way.

Rain Boots:

Rain boots are such cool accessories to have for the winter and spring season and they come in such great styles these days. I'm currently looking for one in a great color like those red ones above. Then, I can splash and play in the snow with the kids without any worry.

Boots: 

Boots are just essential and have to be on any winter wish list but then, this Burberry pair are just so beautiful. This pair would be making phone calls to Santa several months before winter.

Beanie:

A cute beanie is always stylish and chic and an embellished or printed one would add fun to any outfit.

God's Word: 

This is just the absolute most important thing on this list and it should be the first on any kind of list at all. With the kind of world that we live in these days, we just have to hold dear unto God's word at all times. I have the bible app on my phone which is always with me and I have to ensure that I reference it a lot this season and at all times. God's word teaches us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves and if we do this, we will never, ever think of hurting our neighbor or anyone no matter how different they are from us or how different their views are from ours. Jesus said that if anyone strikes us on one cheek, we should turn the other cheek. The bible does not support or preach discrimination or intolerance only love. Again, please, let us love everyone just as much as we love ourselves.

Happy Shoe Year!!!

                                                                                HERE


Happy Shoe Year!!!.., oh, happy new year...no, no, happy shoe year! Yes, I meant to say that...:-). This is my first post for 2015 and it is all about this new fuchsia pair of pumps that I got for the new year. The color is very bold and it's very suitable for spring which I am longing for right now. **Brrrrrrrr** it's freezing in Minnesota friends and school was actually canceled for the kids a few days ago. There has been nothing much to do but to stay indoors and drink hot cocoa and coffee. Fashion wise, there has been nothing much going on too. All I have been doing since the new year is drape myself in coats and blankets and I do not want to bore you guys with pics of that...**yawn.** Anyways, a good part of the nation is affected by this deep freeze I know so, I pray for everyone to stay warm and stay safe. Thanks so much for stopping by here and yay!!! **raising glasses** to another great year of blogging in "Blogland."



                               Happy New Year and thanks so much for stopping by

1Lord, thou has been our dwelling place in all generations. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest; Return, ye children of men. 4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Last Quarter Summary

The last quarter of the year was so much fun and full of inspiration. Yeah, my blog is my own inspiration too. I get very motivated when I put up blog posts and I also get entertained. My blog is my major source of social networking right now as my Facebook account is reserved for family interactions and I just signed unto Instagram not too long ago and I'm still trying to figure it out..:-) (I'm old school, I know!..Lol) but I hope to widen my social network a bit in the new year.

This is also to say thank you to all you bloggers that have made blogging so much fun. Thanks so much for stopping by here and for leaving your comments and thoughts. Let's step into 2015 with love, grace and style. **Woot! Woot!!
