Genesis 1English Standard Version

The Creation of the Seasons

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse[a] in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 And God made[b] the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so.8 And God called the expanse Heaven.[c] And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth,[d] and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants[e] yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

Chevron Prints and White Pumps






Did I hear someone say color and stripes??? Yeah, that is what is going on here in my neck of the woods. I got this dress from Target about two summers ago and now that the shopping ban is still on over here, it's time to start throwing on all those pieces that were forgotten in all corners of the closet. I loved this dress when I saw it on the rack because of the chevron stripes and its beautiful color but I did not really like the fact that it is sleeveless and short. I knew I could always wear a jacket or cardigan over it to cover my huge arms so I got it anyway but just abandoned it in the closet...:-).

Fast forward to "now" and this little dress and I just discovered ourselves again...:-). I am confident enough now to embrace all my curves and flaws so the huge arms do not matter anymore and as for the short length, I just wore a pair of navy shorts underneath like I always do when I am wearing a very short dress. It's all about the white pumps these days so, I accessorized the dress with this pair from heels.com and my navy blue bucket bag. This white pumps was purchased when I realized that the other pair I blogged about here is a little dated. I'll still wear the cap toed ones now and then though. It all makes for an interesting shoe collection.










Dress: Target (old)
Bucket bag: Ann Taylor (sold out) Similar
Pumps: Heels.com




Where would I go in an outfit like this? 'visit friends and family and to take the kids out, I would just switch out the heels for a white pair of flats. I'll keep digging in the closets in order to recover all the lost and forgotten treasures. Did you recently buy a pair of white heels? 'or white heels are just not your thing?

Graphic tee + Gingham






Hi Friends; first of all, I want to say a big thank-you to all of you who stopped by to send me good wishes on my recent outfit post when I shared the mishap that happened in my home. Thank God my son is okay now and though we are still keeping a close eye on him, we believe that he is well and that God delivered us from a major mishap. We are all so careful now more than ever when we use the stairs; my house is three levels high and with very high ceilings so our staircases are pretty long.

Another good thing that came out of the mishap was "instant fitness." I stayed up the whole saturday night pacing up and down for most of the time and my body reacted to the unplanned exercise. I think I might have lost about five pounds from the stress because everyone around me noticed and told me so before I confirmed it on my scale.




It's been a little brisk in Minneapolis the last couple of days especially in the mornings and it did get brisk enough to require a sweater. I decided it was a good day yesterday to put on this graphic long sleeve tee I bought a few months back and blogged about here. I just love the message; such a sweet reminder on the importance of prayers.  I paired it with this gingham pant I purchased from Loft last summer which is currently on sale here  and I finished the look with a grey bag and this black, thick, ankle strap pumps. I tried to add some color to the outfit with my red lips but I do not think I was able to pull it off...:-).




Graphic tee: the_book_boutique (on instagram)
Pants: Loft
Pumps: VS Shoes (old)
Tortoise shell sunnies: Loft
Bag: Rossetti



Did you notice that this pumps are identical to the silver ones I wore in my last post? They were on sale at Victoriassecret website last summer and I decided to get the two pairs. I like the unique bold, ankle strap and the fact that they are detachable too. It's always great to have versatile pieces in our closets.

Style Muse-Yes she did!




I am so excited to be writing about my style crush again; Victoria Beckham. She is one woman I admire her fashion sense in the entire universe because she is always simple, chic, elegant and sophisticated at the same time. She does not wear tons of accessories either save for her sky-high heels and cute bags but wait a minute; that was then...

Victoria Beckham has been coming out a lot lately in flats due to the foot condition bunions, that she admits she now suffers from. She was seen recently in flip-flops when she vacationed with her family at Disney Land! Oh, yes she did!! The great thing though, is that she looks equally cute in flip-flops as she does in heels. This lady can do no wrong when it comes to fashion.

I love seeing  pictures of her and her lovely family and I just got excited to share recent pictures of her on the blog again. See the last post on her here.

Do you enjoy VB's fashion as I do; do you like to keep it simple or you rather layer on the accessories? What are your thoughts on her fashion sense or her love for heels? I do love heels too but I always break up my look once in a while by wearing a pair of flats. Common sense is needed sometimes when it comes to making fashion choices...:-).
