Love and Fashion

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching yet again. Im excited. Not because of the “holiday”, but because that’s the day I can order my cap and gown for graduation! So I will definitely be smiling on that day! 

I am not the one to ask if you want advice on what to do or where to go for a Valentine’s Day date. However, if you need help with your wardrobe, I am at your service! I can’t help you be romantic but I can help you look good while doing it! LOL

Red Is the ‘go to” color for Valentine’s Day. Red equals love and hearts and whatnot. So naturally, I’m going to include a good bit of red options (outfits, shoes, beauty products, etc.). However,   I will include more options that aren’t red. Maybe 2012 is your year to mix it up on the “Most Romantic Day of The Year”

Here are a few options for you ladies that want to stick with tradition and wear the "color of love". Red dresses are always sexy whether its Valentine's Day or not. You're sure to get your Sweetheart's approval in a good red number! 


If you want to extend the red from just your actual clothes, then you can choose some red shoes, a red purse or some red jewelry. However, be careful when wearing a red outfit not to overload on red accessories. 






I love a good red lipstick! Red lips just exude sass and seduction. Perfect elements for Valentines Day! Also, red nail polish can be a bold statement. Especially if you get a ring as your V-Day gift! :-) 



Here's a red look that I put together. Jumpsuits may make some people think "Camel toe" or auto repair man, but worn the correct way they can be fierce. I've paired a red jumpsuit with a blazer and some amazing pumps. Nothing auto repair man about it! The camel toe part would be based on what size you buy. LOL TRY IT ON BEFORE BUYING! 



If you want to skip out on red all together. You can wear whatever color suits you. Maybe consider wearing your Valentine's favorite color or if there's a certain color he just swoons over you when you wear it, this would be the PERFECT time to pull that color out. If there isn't a certain color he prefers, then maybe there's a certain dress, pair of pants or skirt that he loves to see you in. You can wear something he likes but still make it a look you like by adding fun accessories or some fab shoes that you swoon over! 


Get out THAT dress, skirt, etc. he loves. I guarantee he will appreciate it! 



A color that can also be associated with Valentine's Day is pink. Add a pop of Hot Pink to a dark ensemble. In the look above I chose navy and cream pieces as a base and a hot pink skirt as the pop of color. 


I decided to throw in something a little fun and maybe some colors everyone may not mix together. The dress is a deep purple and I decided instead of doing just basic gold accessories to choose some that had turquoise in them as well. Very bright and fun. You'll definitely stand out!



I just died over this blue dress. I LOVE a good slit in a long dress. I chose some amazing gold sandals that would elongate your leg even more. A nice python clutch for a little texture and some drop hoop earrings complete the look. 




I must admit. Even though I am a color lover, I tend to usually have a lot of black in my looks. Its just so easy to make it anyway you want: casual, dressed up, chic, sexy, etc. I know Im not alone in wanting to wear a little more black in my wardrobe! I decided to pair some basic pieces with bold shoes and jewelry. The necklace is everything! Its huge and adds so much life to this look. 



I hope that everyone enjoys their Valentine's Day! If you don't have some other person to be your Valentine, be your own! Treat yourself to something you think is fun or buy yourself something nice! Still get dressed up! Show yourself some appreciation! Remember, If you cant love yourself, how are you going to love somebody else? 



Love,

My Resurrection

On March 19, 2017, I took a huge step in my spiritual journey. I walked into a baptism pool, lowered myself into the holy water, and allowed my mind, spirit, heart and body to be cleansed. I rose up from the water with a new outlook. I was ready to embark on the next steps of my journey as a baptized woman. A year later, I am reflecting upon the 365 plus days since my baptism and I am amazed by the growth I've experienced. Was the journey easy? Absolutely not. Was it easier to face the battles and adversity after renewing my relationship with God? Absolutely. I have constantly been reminded that God never said weapons wouldn't form. He said they wouldn't prosper (Isaiah 54:17) . I hit some bumps in the road (spiritually, financially, mentally, and physically). I went through a short season of confusion and lack of motivation. I was angry with God. I yelled at Him! (Ever seen me yelling and upset? Then you know this wasn't cute!) Literally, ye...

Holiday Fashion: Menswear

I usually don't pay much attention to men's fashion. Honestly, I thought it was dull. *shrugs*  However, recently someone asked me to help them with some menswear looks. I was hesitant at first, but then decided to do some research. It actually ended up taking up half of my day! I was excited by it! I was confused about where to start so I asked a male friend of mine (Thanks Josh!) for some suggestions and that ended up being a huge help. With his suggestions and some additional research on my own, I was able to put together about 10 or so looks. I looked at tons of retail websites, fashion magazine websites, and Googled images of celebrities. After several hours of research and putting looks together, I was pretty impressed with my work. *pats self on back* The looks are simple but fun and there are options for just about every kind of man!  I decided to do a post about it, just in case any males read this blog or if any of you ladies have men in your life that need a litt...

Keep in mind, just because your sweater is supposed to be "ugly" doesnt mean the rest of your look cant be fabulous. Here are a few looks to help you get ready for the #UglyChristmasSweater season!
