Grey Sequins..

Hi Friends; I hope everyone is doing great. I'm here for a quick post. This is my Easter dress that I featured in my Giveaway post courtesy of eshakti. The weather was not that great on Easter; it was cold and cloudy and it has been so for the past few days. I was going to hold on till the weather warms up to wear this dress again and do a post on it but I have a discount code to share and I thought it was best to do the post this week.

So, do you remember this mojo moxy pumps I purchased not too long ago and blogged about here? I thought it would add a nice pop of color to the dress. This dress was originally a sleeveless scoop neck dress when I saw it on the site but I customized it and added sleeves and changed the neckline from a "scoop" to a "round." Most of eshakti clothes come with pockets and you have the option to order them without pockets too. They also have larger sizes and give you the option of choosing your desired length. All this customizations can be done free of charge on your first order and for a small fee for subsequent orders.

Dress: eshakti
Bag: Relic via J. C. Penny
Shoes: here
Bracelet: J. Crew Factory
Necklace: old

Head on over to the eshakti site and check out all the amazing styles that they have on there. Also, you can get 10% off your order with the code beautysworld. This code is valid from now till April 29th.

Fiery Orange...

Hi Friends, thanks a lot for your well wishes on my last post and "yes" I do feel better and "no" I'm not wearing red colors again in this post. This is actually fiery orange and tan combination. I purchased this sweater from J. Crew factory last fall and have been looking for the right occasion to wear it since then.  It is similar to the sweater I wore on Valentine's day here. Also, I have had this Gap cord pants for a while now and I was very excited when I realized that I could pair it with the sweater. Well, today is Good Friday and I knew that this  graphic sweater with the love sign embellished on it would be the perfect top for today. I accessorized the outfit with my Ann Taylor mini bucket bag and animal prints flats; very simple outfit.

If you are familiar with my blog posts, you will know by now that I do not really like to wear flats but there are occasions that really call for it like today. We watched a family movie together this morning titled "God is not dead" then we lazed around the whole day and later took the kids out in the evening for a dinner date with lots of games. I posted some pictures on my INSTAGRAM here. I had to put on this light trench coat too because it was a little chilly today.

Sweater: J. Crew Factory
Orange cords: Gap
Mini bucket bag: Ann Taylor
Shoes: Neighborhood boutique similar here

Yeah, I do look tired in the picture here but I know I just need more rest so I can get my strength back. The cold I had for the last couple of days really hit me hard but I'm grateful to be alive and I count my blessings. Some people are struggling with worse conditions. Also, it is good to know that Good Friday is a day we can all reflect on the great gift of salvation God gave to us all by sending his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. God's love is real guys. I'll be with you again very soon.

Throwback Thursday- Red is my color

Blog Post here

It is throwback thursday and I just decided to do a little reflection on the blog. Looking into my closet lately, I found out that I have a lot of red clothing items and even much more than I have showcased on the blog. I have also had a lot of people tell me that"I wear red a lot" and some say that"red looks good on me." Either way, this is a look at some of my previous red color posts.

I hope you are all doing great? I am actually lying in bed with a cold right now. I have been sneezing all day and have loads and rolls of tissue around me **eeewwww**...:-). Sorry, I'm not going to pass the cold to you...hehehe. There is nothing like looking pretty at this end right now...:-). Tomorrow is Good Friday guys and cold or not, I am going to get out of bed and get all dressed up. Thankfully, I am not going to work tomorrow and I did not go today too. The kids are home on Spring break too so, that's good. I'm looking forward to a happy and cold free Easter.

Isn't it amazing that gladiators are becoming more fancy these days? Or let's put it another way; isn't it great that "strappy-flats" are trending this spring and summer? To tell you the truth, I was surprised to see all the options that came up when I searched for gladiators on- line. Some of the shoes I used to refer to as just "sandals" or flats are actually gladiators or greek sandals as they are also known. 'cute!

I hope your week is going great. Well, we made it through the month of March and April is just a few hours away. Plus, Easter weekend is almost upon us. I love Easter because it is a reminder of God's great love for humanity. He gave his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
How do you celebrate Easter? 'Talk to you soon...

The Winning Number...

                                                                                   3

The winning number/piece for the Giveaway is #3 and the blogger profile is craftsonthego. I checked out the blogger's profile to make contact about the win and realized that there was no web page listed and the user is private so I could not leave a comment or message on their page.

So,  craftsonthego. you can contact me by using the "blogger's contact form" at the bottom right hand side of the page so I can give you more details or you can leave a comment on this post with your e-mail address. I will have to get clarification though that you are the right owner of that bloggers' profile since there is no web page and we can arrange a way to do that...:-). Again, the prize is $50.00 to use on the eshakti website and like I said before, their gift cards do not expire. They also have discounts and promotions on the site from time to time and you should check them out often and use your gift card at a convenient time.

Thanks so much everyone for participating. It was fun getting all the entries and it looks like dress #2 is a favorite for a lot of people. It is really pretty too. The reason I chose dress #3 is because I do not have a lot of grey pieces in my closet and you might notice that when you look through my posts. So, it was an opportunity to get a grey item. If you notice, the dress is shown as sleeveless on the site but I customized it by adding short sleeves and changing the neckline from scoop to round. That is what eshakti is all about. The only con for now is that they have limited countries they ship to (USA and Canada) and I am sure that will change in time.

So, this is my Easter dress and I will be wearing it to church next sunday for the Easter service. So, check back to see how I'll style it. There will also be a discount code for everyone in my styling post courtesy of eshakti so, check back everyone.

Thanks so much for stopping by

Hi Friends, I just wanted to say a quick hi and to remind you that my blog anniversary Giveaway opens in a few hours. The requirements are quite simple; all you have to do is guess the outfit I picked for my partnership with Eshakti as I explained in this post here. I'm going to edit the list and narrow it down to about five or seven items. There will only be two winners and the first two right answers would get gifts cards to shop at Eshakti. Giveaway would only be open for 24 hours.
