Glam Sunday!!!






Happy Sunday friends; I'm so excited and still very giddy and happy from all the fun I had today at church and I have a testimony too. Yeah, testimony for those who don't know is; "when something awesome happens to you and you realize and know that it happened to you only by divine intervention." (I did not check the dictionary for the exact definition of this word but I am very sure I got the definition right)

So, here it goes; my first son who turns eight next month slipped and fell down the stairs yesterday and landed on his head on the hard tiled floor while I was busy cooking in the kitchen. He started to bleed from the mouth and cried and hyperventilated for hours and we had to take him to the emergency and it turned out he had a mild concussion from the fall. We spent the night at the hospital and he was discharged this morning and all scans and x-rays show that he is okay and guess what? It's my hubs birthday today! What a way to celebrate a birthday eve; I was awake the whole night praying for my son and the family! My son had never been hospitalized before last night and it was a very scary situation for me. Now, I just thank God that he is well and my family is okay and we can laugh and celebrate and thank God for his mercies.

So, you see, I had double reason to be all dressed up for church today; to celebrate my son's quick recovery and my hub's birthday. After the church service, we went out to dinner and had some great seafood. This Chicwish dress was my first choice this morning when I looked in the closet. I paired it with some silver accessories and allowed the dress to be the main focus because it's got such bold floral prints. I love this dress so much that I ordered it in two other patterns and colors. I fell in love with the design the first time I saw it when I was putting this graduation outfit together on Polyvore. If you are thinking of wearing chic and elegant feminine clothes, just stop by Chicwish; that website is the best thing to happen to women's fashion lately.









Dress: Chicwish
Jewelry: Vintage

I hope you all had a great weekend and was able to spend quality time with family and friends. Do not hesitate to take some time out too to thank God for his mercies and to show appreciation for the love and life that he has bestowed on you. I wish you all of God's blessings.

Jesus Heals Ten Lepers

11And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 15And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 18There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 19And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

White and Tribal





Happy Friday Friends; It is supposed to be casual day today but I am all dressed up. I am expecting some friends over later in the day and I decided to skip the casual look and get a little bit more dressy for my hosting duties. This outfit comprises of items that have been in the closet for ages but never made it on the blog until now and I am glad that I was able to do something different for my hair too. I accessorized the look with this neckpiece I got from Walmart last summer for only $9.99 and this cute pumps I purchased a while back. I love the pumps because it is so comfy, trendy and affordable and I can always wear it whenever I need to add a great pop of color to my outfit like I did today.







Scarf: DIY (African print)
Top and skirt: Macys (old)
Neckpiece: Walmart
bracelet: old
Pumps:  LFL Electrick blogged about here






I hope you all are doing great. I am sad that the summer is almost over but I am very excited for fall because it is my favorite time of the year. The kids are going back to school soon too and that is always a bitter sweet moment for a lot of Moms. I wish all of you God's blessings for the rest of the summer.

Hiya! I have no idea what is going on in Minneapolis this week; it's been raining everyday since sunday and I'll not mind the rain if I am able to get occasional peek at the sun but it's been very cloudy too. The temps is even in the 60s today; kind of looks like fall weather. Fall is my favorite season of the year so actually no big deal.

Well, I stopped by at Polyvore's website to browse trends for the upcoming season and I put the above pieces together. I am just window shopping though because I am still on a shopping freeze. How is the weather at your end?

Oh Summer..






Yeah, the summer is gradually coming to an end and though I'll love to see it go, I'm excited to welcome my favorite season of the year, fall.  These are some pictures I took when the family and I went to the lake sometime this summer. In Minnesota, we only have artificial beaches and thousands of lakes and that is why the state is known as a "land of ten thousand lakes."  


I picked my outfit based on the polyvore set that I created and blogged about here and I must say it was fun recreating the outfit. I did not get in the water though so I could not post pictures of me in a bright red bathing suit...:-) maybe some other time...We had a great barbecue with our friends and the kids and hubby got in the water for some fun and played some games. I just chatted with my girlfriends from church about funny lady's stuff and what not...:-).










I hope you are still having great fun and enjoying the sun. Have you made any trip to the pool or beach yet this summer? I know some of you have swimming pools in your yard..**batting my eyelids in envy..:-)** It's always great to take time out to enjoy family and friends and great food.

Pink + Floral






Happy Monday friends; this is the outfit I wore to church yesterday and it is from deep in the closet. At first I thought the outfit is too old to be posted on the blog but then I was like "Hey! I am wearing it right?" If I wear the clothes and I am not  embarrassed  to be seen in them, then they can be up 
on the blog. I know most times, fashion bloggers only want to post the best pics or outfits on the blog but we live in a real world and not online so, let's keep it real...:-). So, if you see me in an old tee and faded denim running errands at the store in Minneapolis, do not doubt that it is me. Just walk up and say hi...:-).




Top & Skirt: old
Pumps: DSW
Necklace: Walmart.com
Bag: old







Besides, fashion is revolving a lot these days; all those floral midi skirts from Mom's closet in the  seventies and eighties can still look glam today and let's not forget about the Mom's jeans or bell bottoms (flared jeans) "yay or nay?"

Shoelovin'


Liliana Plaid Pumps





Happy Friday friends; I was surfing the web recently and discovered this beautiful plaid pump from Liliana. It was my first encounter/knowledge of this upcoming shoe store based in California and after browsing their site, I can tell that they are unto something; their shoes are pretty and affordable.

This pretty, quality pumps can make a huge statement for fall and it is one way of adding plaid patterns to your closet. Since the shoes are so affordable, I ordered a pair right away and my package came yesterday. I was so anxious to check the quality of the shoes that I almost snatched the box from the delivery man...:-). I can tell you that the quality, and craftsmanship of this shoe is great and if you like pretty shoes like I do and you want to add a great pair to your closet for fall, check it out.
